Lionel's limousine continued to drive through the streets of Smallville. Alexandra was looking down at the floor trying to think of how she could get away. "I'm not going to hurt you," Lionel said, "You do know that, don't you?"
Suddenly the car jumped and came to a halt. The driver got out of the car and rolling down his window, Lionel said, "Why have we stopped?"
"Sir, I'm afraid we have a flat tire," the driver said.
Lionel opened the door and saw the tire for himself. "Well, isn't that just perfect. How on earth did that happen?"
"I don't know sir," the driver said, "I'll get the spare and fix it." The driver went to the trunk and returned moments later without the tire.
"Where is the spare?" Lionel said.
"Sir, I'm afraid the spare is flat as well," the driver said.
"I beg your pardon?" Lionel said.
"I don't understand it," the driver said, "I always make sure the spare is alright."
"Well, we can't just stand here," Lionel said.
"I'll call for service," the driver said.
"Yes, you do that," Lionel said. Looking at the flat tire he shook his head, but then realized what must have happened. He looked in the car and said, "Alexandra, come out here."
She exited that car and taking a hold of her arm, he pointed to the tire and said, "You did that, didn't you?" He put her in front of the tire and said, "Fix it."
She stood with her arms folded and refused. "Sir?" the driver said, "I'm afraid the phone isn't working either."
"Honestly," Lionel sighed, reaching for his cell phone. Taking it out of his pocket, Lionel noticed that the face was broken. Trying to turn it on, he did not get any reception. He shook it and tried again. "This isn't going to do us any good," he said.
"I'll have to walk up the road to the nearest service station," the driver said.
"Very well," Lionel said, "I suppose we will wait."
The driver started up the road and Lionel focused his attention back on Alexandra. "Did you not hear what I said?" Lionel said, "Fix the tire."
Alexandra still refused and then the front tire blew. "Stop that!" Lionel said, "I can see you need to learn some manners."
Alexandra turned around and kicked Lionel's leg, before she ran. Bending over from the pain in his leg, Lionel noticed Alexandra was running. "Don't you run from me, young lady!" he yelled.
Alexandra stopped and looked back at him. Limping towards her Lionel said, "You are going to be sorry you did that. What you need is some discipline. I'm going to teach you how to behave."
She backed up a few steps at a time as Lionel came closer. Stopping at the edge of the road, Lionel said, "Come here."
She continued to back away. "Come here and do as your told," Lionel said.
Alexandra turned and began to run again. Lionel ran after her when his shoes slipped on gravel near the side of the road. Losing his balance he fell down the side of the embankment.
Alexandra stopped when she heard him cry out. She walked back and looked down the embankment. He looked up at her and said, "Alexandra, darling please help me. I can't move my leg."
She thought for a moment but knew she could not pull him to safety on her own. As she walked away and disappeared from sight, Lionel said, "No, wait….don't leave me down here!"

Walking through the trees, Jonathan and Martha continued to call out to Alexandra. Martha stopped and said, "Jonathan, it's going to be dark soon. What if we can't find her?"
"We will," Jonathan said, "She's here somewhere."
