    Sure he wanted to help her - and himself, at the same time. I believe we were supposed to come away from the episode knowing that Lex's intentions for Chloe in Belle Reeve were not good and Clark knew this so he broke her out of the hospital.

    Do I think that Clark is being unduly harsh on Lex? Sometimes, because he hasn't been completely responsible for a lot of the nefarious things that have happened since the beginning of the season, but he's been in the background manipulating events to his advantage. Remember that Lex masterminded the breakout from Belle Reeve, putting Clark's family and Lana in danger. Clark is going to hold that grudge forever and for good reason.

    That's my take.

      Actually, Lex was not ill. He had been drugged by Lionel so that he would appear to be having a breakdown. Once Lex was inside Belle Reve, Lionel ordered him to have shock treatment to erase his memory.

      Being in Belle Reve did real harm to Lex. It didn't help him at all.

        Lex never found out that his father faked his mental illness. So if he thinks that Belle Reve cured him, he might believe the same thing would happen to Chloe.

          Regardless of whether Lex thought he was "cured" or whatever his intentions in transfering Chloe to Belle Reeve were not pure, that's for sure. Watch the scene again and it should be clear that Lex believes he can extract something from Chloe in Belle Reeve. Transfering Chloe is just a ruse.

            He did find out -- Clark told him. He told him about Lionel using shock therapy to erase his memory of the fact that Lionel had his parents killed. Do you remember Clark using the phrase "fried your brain"? Lex knows that Belle Reve is not a good place. Just look at the fact that he broke out those three FOTWs to test Clark's powers in Mortal.

              Clark never told him that his dad faked his mental illness. Lex could've just thought that he found out that Lionel killed his parents sometime when he crazy, not before.

              If Lex really wanted to find out Clark's secret, why doesn't he just investigate some of the freaks at Belle Reve? I bet they'd have no trouble revealing Clark's secret to him.

                Lex knew he wasn't mentally ill. He knew he was being drugged. He told that to Lionel himself in Asylum. After that, he knew that "those seven weeks" were arranged and erased deliberately by his father -- that was shown in Memoria.

                The bottom line is, Lex knows Belle Reve is not a good place. Again -- his conspiracy with Belle Reve inmates in Mortal shows that, and shows that he certainly has talked to the FOTWs about Clark. And as Nospan posted above, his own demeanor in Tomb shows that his motives are not benign.

                  If Lex conspires with Belle Reve freaks, why doesn't he just ask them for information on Clark? There are still people left that know Clark's secret like Rachel Dunleavy and the guy from "Crush".
