What do you think will happen when Clark finds out

[vikingjedi]

That Lionel had a fight with JK that caused him to have a heart attack? Lex is going to tell him sooner or later.

I don't know that Lex *will* tell Clark. Clark's no longer friends with him, and he doesn't even want to take Lex's condolence phone call. Telling Clark that Lex's dad may have triggered JK's heart attack - a heart attack that, for all Lex knows, was also brought on by the stress of campaigning against Lex Luthor - will probably make things worse.

The only reason Lex might tell Clark would be if he wants Clark to see Lionel in a worse light. Maybe if Lex kills Lionel, and Clark calls him on it...

Oh yeah, and if Lex tells Clark, he risks losing his company. So the only way he'd do that is if Lionel is out of the picture.

When Clark finds out:

if Lionel is still alive, he'll confront him.

if Lionel is dead, and Lex has kept this from him - he'll move from seeing Lex as an ex-friend to seeing him as a villain.

Maybe:
Clark will find out about Lionel's involvement and want revenge....but when he confronts him, the Jor-El part of Lionel will come forward and stop Clark from doing something he regrets.

Clark and Lex will become enemies when Lex kills Lionel. Then Lex will tell Clark so that Clark does not see Lex as being an enemy.

I don't think Lex will tell Clark but if it does come out and Clark heres it from someone else he will blame Lionel Luther for his dads death. I could be wrong on this but TMO

I don't think Lex will tell Clark either but if Clark finds out on his own, it'll be another reason that Clark hates Lex.

[KEakaCK]

Well, the two of them has started their separate path to his own destiny so I think Lex will just hold that info over Lionel and not tell Clark. However, I do think Clark will eventually find out and I'm left to believe that the death of JK and the circumstances surrounding his death is somehow all tied into that final trial Jor-El spoke of in the fortress in Reckoning that Clark hasn't faced yet.

More reasons for Clark not to like Lex. Lex is using it that info as an advantage on Lional, he will most likely not tell anyone. Eventually Clark will find out and be mad at Lex for not saying anything to him sooner, causing a bigger rift between Clark and Lex.

I agree with you Jim

"Maybe:

That's EXACTLY what I was thinking! Clark maybe will almost kill him, but Jor-El will come out, stopping Clark, and reminding him of the values that Jonathan bestowed upon him.

I would say if Lex does something pushes Clark over the edge and Clark starts to use his super powers to harm Lex. That Lex would use this information to save his own skin. I can see Lex saying to Clark "If you let me live I will tell you who really killed your Dad."

Clark being an honorable man would keep his word to spare Lex.
