although I'm sure shippers will interpret her last line otherwise, I think she is purely horrified by bad!Lex's threatened rape

OMG, I think I have become a Lexana 'shipper. ::burns with shame::

Yeah, upon rewatching that ending I do still interpret Lana's last line as her saying that she's sorry Recombined!Lex won't make a move on her. Cuz she's up for it. *g*

I like how you analyze Lex's difficulty with owning Strong!Lex or Bad!Lex's actions. It makes good sense of the way Lex seems to waver about accepting that personality as part of him or simply denying it.
