Chloe's pulled records out of City Hall to help Clark find out more about the drifter in Smallville from 1961 (in reality, Jor-El). He asks her to just go with his "hunches" and she agrees to drop it even though it's unusually detailed for a hunch. They noticed pages missing the day of Lana's Great Aunt's murder; Chloe notices that they arrested Lachlan Luthor for the crime. Clark tells her to talk to Lex, and that she's going to have to get over the incident about the database sooner or later. Chloe goes to talk to him, pointing out that Luthor isn't exactly a common name; Lex denies that any of his family was in Smallville prior to buying up the cream corn factory.
The next day, Chloe finds out that the jail record clears Lachlan Luthor and asks Clark how he's so certain about what's going on, that he's "passed crazy four random clues ago"; Clark admits that he's been having flashes back to 1961. Chloe claims that maybe it's a past life memory or genetic memory at work. Her sources at the Ledger faxed her the missing pages of the log book which erase Lachlan's alibi and reveal that Billy Tate, the current mayor, was the one who let him out.
