In the elevator, Lois tells Oliver that he is a mess. He tells her that he is sorry that she is seeing him like this. He looks at his reflection and realizes that he is messed up. He tells her that he misses her, but realizes that she fell asleep and went into a rage. She pushes him into the wall then jumps through the elevator escape door.

Clark wakes up and sees a message from Oliver that says he lost Lois. In Oliver's plane, Chloe and Hamilton are able to add the cure into the water supply. They release the cure into the atmosphere just before it starts to rain.

Clark goes to the Daily Planet and sees Lois at the copy machine. She turns, attacks him, and punches him through the window. He grabs and holds her as the rain starts to fall. Moments later, she is cured. She asks Clark what happened. He tells her that they made it as they hold each other. Other city dwellers go in the rain and are cured.

Later, Clark finds Oliver drinking in the street and tells him that he is upset he couldn't keep Lois awake. He asks Oliver if he needs help. Oliver says that he knows that he has been running away from himself for a long time. Clark tells him that he knows what to do next. Oliver thanks him for his talk. Oliver pours the rest of his drink on his Green Arrow outfit and lights it on fire.

The next day, Clark looks over the picture of Lana and puts it in his photo album. Lois arrives to thank Clark for saving her. Lois says that she doesn't remember attacking him. She says that she saw that he was a hero. She says that they make a good team. Lois tells him that he never told her his secret. She goes to playfully slap him, but he catches her hand. After she leaves, she sees a vision of Oliver burying Chloe.
