After nuclear...
Martha: Don't use the upstairs bathroom. It's
backed up. I have to snake the pipes.
Clark: Where's the leftover pizza?
Martha: Fridge, second shelf. Or you could nuke
the chili for dinner. Clark? (He's busy listening to music.)
Some clue you actually heard me. Isn't this one supposed to have question mark at the end?
Clark: Upstairs bathroom off-limits
after nuclear chili dinner.
I guess he doesn't mean the chili Martha mentioned, right?
And what does the underlined part mean?
Martha: Glad to see your hearing
hasn't changed.

"Some clue you actually heard me." This piece of dialog is not a sentence. We have to guess at what's missing. "May I please have etc.??" "I'll pretend I've received etc. " "I don't even get etc. "
It's popular now to refer to microwaving something as "nukeing it." Presumably he chose the nuked chili over the leftover pizza. That is, the answer to your middle blue is, "wrong."

In the context, I think "nuclear chili dinner" is a metaphor for an extremely spicy chili. One that causes very bad gas.
