No, she's always been able to do this -- it's how she made off with a $160,000 car of Lex's in Void last season and it's what she used against the stalker in Trespass. This is just the first time where she's done it multiple times in one episode and with an array of people.


Oh, no worries--that's actually a very good point. We've definitely seen her manipulate other folks with her own pain before; just never quite so effectively, I think. Really, my favorite part about this whole storyline, long may it continue, is that it is actually building on organic components of Lana's character, just changing her motivations a little bit and amping up her reasons to draw more on the less savory parts of her character.
