Who did it?

Lionel Luthor, blind and not able to see who is entering his mansion, is shot twice in the back by the intruder. A great mystery ensures as to who did the shooting. Jonathan is a prime suspect after being found drunk in his truck near the mansion. Many other suspects ensue, though no one could have predicted who the real culprit is.

This episode is interesting because of the investigation, but the writers cheated in not giving the audience any clues to find out who the real shooter was. This dampened the revelation at the end since the audience couldn't have possibly guessed correctly who it was due to the writers shortcomings.
