Helex or Hex in Smallville *Spoilers* by Rebekah Walton

Lex Luthor and his second wife, Dr. Helen Bryce. Spoilers for season 2. This is a basic summary of the shipping in Smallville. Helen, first apears in season 2 although Lex met her once before and does not remeber it.  So in season 2, Lex met Helen while visiting Jonathan Kent in the hospital. Lex offered to have a specialist flown in from Metropolis to mend Jonathan's broken leg. Helen was a bit offended that he didn't think her capable of the task.


     They ran into each other again in an anger management class. She was ordered to attend after "drop-kicking" an orderly. Helen turned down Lex's first invitation to go out together saying that she had met him before. Later, Lex sought her out at the hospital; apparently he did some research to jog his memory. He apologized for his previous behavior in Metropolis explaining that she met him during his self-destructive phase, and she agreed to go out with him and they began dating.


         However, their relationship was further complicated by Lex's scheming father Lionel. Lex received photographs of Helen with Lionel Luthor as part of his surveillance of Lionel. He ordered a complete background check on Helen and discovered that she received $100,000.

   He accused her of spying on him. She was so angry that he had her investigated that she broke up with him on the spot. Later, Lex found her at the Talon and asked for an explanation. She told him that Lionel offered her money to stop seeing Lex, she refused, but Lionel wired the money anyway.

  So they get back together.

     Helen considered accepting a research grant at Johns Hopkins but Lex asked her to move in with him. She had reservations, and postponed a decision, but after she moved in, she found a locked room. She asked Lex about it. He didn't want to show it to her, and she thought she could be okay with that, but she finally decided that he had to show it to her.
    
    It was filled with Lex's evidence of his suspicions about Clark and his family. We meet Helen's old boyfriend who is insane. Her old boyfriend hurts her and she almost dies.Lex almost kills him. Lex realizes he loves Helen and proposes to her. She accepts.
       They get married. Then follows two episodes that don't make any sense with Helen's character mostly because the directors changed it to add pointless drama in Lex's life and Helen leaves. (I will not even attempt to summarize that.)(She is still Lex's best wife ever.)(She really did love Lex.)
