Smallville Season 6 Episode 7-Rage

In this episode we see how Green Arrow and Clark Kent become better friends. Oliver Queen wants to be more like Clark Kent and to become more invincible than he currently is. In developing and using a specially created serum, RL-65, he is hoping to become more powerful. At first the RL-65 serum is very helpful and allows Oliver to do things that he normally couldn't. As with any drug though, with more usage, more problems come up. He begins to change into someone other than what he stands for as the Green Arrow.  Clark is able to step in and help Oliver realize that he is great the way he is without any special serum to augment his abilities. At the end Oliver realizes that his abilities are different than Clark’s and he needs to be thankful for what he has and take advantage of what he has been given.  

FULL REVIEW:

The episode starts off with a heavy make out session between Lois Lane and Oliver Queen. Oliver hears cries for help outside his office. He sneaks out on her and goes to help a couple being mugged. As he thwarts the thieves and helps the couple escape, Green Arrow is shot!

The next day Lois tells Clark Kent about how Oliver left her and also how the Green Arrow was shot, but escaped before anyone could identify him. Clark puts two and two together and heads to Oliver's place. Clark confronts Oliver about being shot and Oliver denies it and is very short with Clark. They argue and Oliver breaks a glass, cutting himself. Clark leaves and outside the door, uses his x-ray vision to see Oliver injecting himself with something. Clark believes this is how Oliver was healed from the gunshot wound. Clark later tells Lois about what he saw, and she vows to help him.

Oliver meets up with his scientist friend and they talk about RL-65 and it's side affects, such as anger outbursts. Oliver says that he doesn't care about that and takes more of the RL-65 serum.

Clark goes to Chloe Sullivan at the Daily Planet and asks her to run tests on the needle that he recently took from Oliver's home. She says she will contact her chemistry friend at Met. U and tries to hurry Clark out, as she is meeting with Lana Lang to go to lunch. Lana shows up and Clark leaves. While Lana and Chloe are talking, Lana passes out for a few seconds.

At Oliver's home, Lois comes over to talk with Oliver and finds the Green Arrow going through Oliver's things. Lois ambushes Green Arrow and hits him with a dumb bell. Green Arrow turns around and throws her into a table and gets hurt. She threatens to call the cops if he doesn't leave. Green Arrow then leaves.

Green Arrow tracks down the man who shot him and roughs him up. The man jumps off a building and lands flat on his face. Green Arrow goes down to the street and finds that the man is okay. Green Arrow finds out from the man that he goes to Second Chance halfway house and gets a drug that allows him to be stronger and it also heals him when he gets hurt.

At the hospital, Clark visits Lois and finds out what happened between her and Green Arrow. She hasn't heard from Oliver since being in the hospital.

Lex Luthor pays a visit to Dr. Black and she tells Lex that she is terminating the project as people are getting hurt. Lex reveals that he is paying her more than Oliver Queen is and the project will not be terminated.

Clark and Chloe figure out that the needle contained a drug being developed by Dr. Black. They go to her lab and find that it has been sacked and the doctor has been killed. They discover some files from Second Chances halfway house a charity that is funded by Lex Luthor.

Green Arrow shows up at Lex's office and they confront each other and they draw on each other, Lex with a gun and Green Arrow with a crossbow. They fire at the same time and both are hit. Green Arrow has a syringe with RL-65 and gives himself an injection, which heals him. Clark shows up at this time, and wants to help Lex. They both agree that the world would be better off without Lex, but Clark argues that it's not for them to decide that. Green Arrow tells Clark that he didn't ransack the lab, that Lex did. Clark sees a case and he opens it finding more of the drug inside. He injects Lex and after a moment, Lex is revived and healed, but Clark and Green Arrow are gone.

At the Kent home, Clark and Martha have invited guests over for Thanksgiving. Lionel Luthor, Chloe, Lois and Oliver show up and have a nice Thanksgiving dinner. Oliver has apologized to Lois and they are happy again. Clark gives a nice speech about how thankful he is for his parents and for the faith they have had in him.

At the Luthor mansion, Lex and Lana are eating dinner and it is not as festive as at the Clark home. Lana is quiet and subdued. Earlier in the episode, she had learned that she is pregnant. She has only told Chloe up to this point. Lana doesn't tell Lex the good news.

During the episode we also see how Lionel doesn't want to hurt Martha and that he is beginning to genuinely care for her. A small subplot was that Lionel was invited to Thanksgiving dinner, but he tried to decline as he didn't want to put Martha and the Kent's in a bad situation by their association with him. However, Martha doesn't want to hear it and tells him that she considers him a friend and doesn't want to discontinue their friendship. He ends up coming to dinner.

Upon finding herself pregnant, Lana is stunned and doesn't know what to do. She isn't sure if she want's to be with Lex or not. Clark and Lana have a conversation where Clark could tell something was wrong, but Lana wouldn't tell him and asked him to leave instead.

Smallville Season 6 Episode 6-Fallout

This episode was great to see Clark bond with another Kryptonian, Raya, and how Clark was able to learn more about his heritage and culture. It's too bad that Raya was killed off so quickly. I would've like to have seen Raya at least finish out the season. I felt bad that she was killed so soon, and I think that having her last a few more episodes so that we could have gotten to know her better would have been better for not only the show as a whole, but for the character of Clark Kent in Smallville. We get to see more of the story arc of Lex and Lana expanded upon in this episode. I am torn between being intrigued and disappointed. I am intrigued as I watch Lex and Lana move from being in love with each other to starting to lie and outmaneuver each other. But at the same time, I am disappointed in Lana as she stoops to the level of the Luthors. In the past, while Lana did annoy me sometimes, she was always a pure character. A friend who was nice and sweet and while misguided sometimes, always tried to do the right thing. Now, it seems like Lana is being sullied by the Luthors and I am disappointed in Lana and her choices. I'm hoping that she will come to her senses at some point and get away from Lex.

FULL REVIEW:

Fallout starts 6 weeks prior to the current timeline, with two boys playing basketball in Oakland, California. They see something fall from the sky and hit the ground near them. The two boys investigate and one is overtaken by one of the Phantoms from the Phantom Zone. He kills his friend and heads off looking for Kal-El.

Back in Smallville, Clark Kent is visited by an old friend, Raya, who has found her way to him. They spend some time together and Clark gets to know more about Krypton and Jor-El through Raya. Clark begins to feel less alone than he has in all his life. He is happy to have found a fellow Kryptonian, and a pretty one at that.

Lana Lang meets with the scientist that was working on the Kryptonian power source, and he gives her all of the research as well as the power source. He is leaving and getting out while he still can. He tells her that Lex Luthor has already started the testing phase of the project, which Lana didn't know about. Unbeknownst to them, Jimmy Olsen had been taking pictures of the exchange. He later shows up at the Luthor mansion and tries to blackmail Lex into letting him in on what the exchange was about. Jimmy secretly takes a picture of the schematics of the power source while Lex isn't looking. Jimmy is escorted out of the mansion. Lex goes to Lana and confronts her on the meeting. Lex tries to make her feel guilty for not telling him about that, while at the same time he hadn't told her about the military testing.

The Phantom tracks Clark down and confronts him at the barn with Raya. He uses a radiation blast against Clark, but it doesn't hurt him. Raya kicks the Phantom in the face and he escapes to recharge his power. The Phantom goes to the Mansion as he senses the power from the power source. At the mansion, Lex and Lana are arguing and Lana gives the ultimatum that it's either her or the power source. Just then the Phantom bursts in and throws Lex aside, burning him in the act. The Phantom consumes all the power from the power source and it disintegrates into dust, no longer usable. He leaves to then go find Clark and finish him off.

Raya and Clark talk about how Clark needs to go fight the Phantom, but Clark hasn't completed his training from Jor-El, as The Fortress is dead and he can't talk with Jor-El anymore. Raya and Clark go to The Fortress and Raya is able to send out a signal that lets the Phantom know where they are. Raya tells Clark to use the crystal with the S on it to store up the power that the Phantom will use against him. The crystal will absorb the power and will be able to be used to revive The Fortress again.

The Phantom shows up and he fights Clark and Raya, Raya is injured with a radiation blast, while Clark is able to absorb the rest of the energy from the Phantom. The Phantom's essence is destroyed and the boy's body is left behind still alive. Raya's injury is too much for her to overcome and she dies in Clark's arms in The Fortress.

The boy wakes up in the Smallville Hospital and Clark tells him that he found him unconscious and brought him to the hospital. Clark tells him he is in Kansas not California.

Clark and Martha Kent talk about Raya and how for the first time, Clark didn't feel alone and that he really enjoyed spending time with Raya and he is sad she is gone. Clark tells his mother that he will start his training after he finishes destroying the other Phantoms that came through the Phantom Zone portal with him.

At the end of the episode we see The Fortress light up and return to normal.

Smallville Season 6 Episode 5-Reunion

This episode further deepens the character of Lex and we see him and Clark drift further apart. Lex is despising Clark more and more, while Clark is realizing that he and Lex are no longer friends. Oliver Queen is becoming a regular character this season, one that is rising to the level of Lois Lane in importance to the stories being told.  Other than these character developments, there isn't much to this episode. It hearkens back to the early episodes of the series, in that there are mysterious murders that end up being caused by kryptonite meteor rocks and Clark and the gang end up solving the mystery by the end of the episode. The episode addresses the past history of Lex Luthor and Oliver Queen and how they have such a contentious relationship. We see at one point how Lex did have a friend and that he was a caring person. But we also see that even from a young age Lex did have a darkness to him that Lex himself has mentioned in previous episodes.

FULL REVIEW:

Lex had a friend named Duncan in prep school and the two were being bullied by Oliver and his two friends. Lex and Duncan stumble up on some information that will be harmful to Oliver and his group, as they could get expelled from school. Lex believes they can use this to blackmail Oliver and friends to force them to let Lex and Duncan be apart of their group. Duncan wants to do the right thing and turn them into the principal. Lex tries to convince Duncan to not turn them in and they argue and come to blows. Lex almost kills Duncan, but Oliver pulls him off Duncan. Duncan stumbles out into the road and is hit by a car.

The episode is titled Reunion, as there is a Prep School reunion and Lex, Oliver and his two friends attend the reunion. Lex brings Lana Lang and Oliver brings Lois Lane to the reunion. At the reunion, one of Oliver's friends is killed by mysterious circumstances in front of everyone. At the hospital, later that evening, Oliver and his other friend are leaving the hospital in mourning as their friend was pronounced dead. As the friend gets into his limo to go back to Gotham City, his car explodes and he is killed.

At the Luthor mansion at about the same time, Lex and Lana witness some strange events and a chandelier falls from the ceiling almost killing Lex and Lana. Lana is injured and taken to the hospital.

Clark visits Oliver and finds out about Duncan and how he was killed. Clark finds out that Lionel Luthor swooped in and took care of Duncan's medical treatment and all the funeral costs. Clark goes and talks with Lionel and finds out that Duncan is still alive but is in a vegetative state. Lionel promised Duncan's mother he would try and discover a treatment to help Duncan recover. He is still trying to find a solution.

At the hospital, Clark shows up to visit and Lex rudely tells him to leave and that he doesn't have any reason to be there. Lois meets up with Clark at the hospital and they talk and go to a secret facility where the still alive, but vegetative, Duncan is being held.  They discover that the day the attacks started, Duncan started a new treatment involving kryptonite. They surmise that Duncan is behind the attacks and that he is using some form of astral projection. Clark realizes that Oliver is probably the next target and rushes off to his penthouse. He arrives just as a specialty arrow is shooting towards Oliver as projected by Duncan. The arrow was a limited EMP arrow, and Clark steps in front of the arrow and it detonates. In the detonation aura, we see an outline of a man that is Duncan. At that same moment, at the hospital, Lois sees Duncan go into convulsions and pass away. The EMP burst shorted out Duncan's ability which affected his biological functions.

Afterwards, Oliver goes to the Luthor mansion and apologizes to Lex for his past behavior and tells him that he was wrong for acting that way towards him and Duncan. Lex throws the apology back in his face and tells him that the only regret he has is that at one time he wanted to be his friend.

The final scene is Chloe coming to Clark with satellite photos of craters left around the world on the day that Clark was released from the Phantom Zone. In one photo Clark is able to recognize Raya and that she is alive in Australia.

Smallville Season 6 Episode 4-Arrow

This was a fun episode to watch as we see how Clark Kent and Oliver Queen discover each other's respective secret identities and how they agree to protect each other in that way. Oliver is all about helping those that need help and tells Clark that he needs to start thinking beyond just protecting his friends and family. That there is a whole world out there that could use the help that he would be able to provide with his abilities. While Green Arrow was introduced in the previous episode, this episode introduces him even more. Clark is more of a secondary character in this episode as he, Chloe Sullivan and Lois Lane all try to figure out who Green Arrow is.

FULL REVIEW:

Oliver Queen and Lois go to a fundraiser together that Lionel Luthor is hosting for Martha Kent. Lionel gives Martha an expensive necklace to wear for the occasion. During which, Green Arrow crashes the party and steals the necklace. Lois chases after him and ends up grabbin a ring that Green Arrow was wearing around his neck on a chain. Lois is angry and writes an article in the Inquisitor about The Green Arrow Bandit. She does enlist Chloe's help in examining the ring, in which Chloe discovers a faint, worn image of a family crest. In talking with Clark about it, Clark realizes he has seen this before and goes to Oliver Queen's penthouse/office and uncovers evidence that Oliver is Green Arrow. While Clark knows who Green Arrow is, he doesn't tell Lois or Chloe, and Chloe is able to guess that Clark knows who Green Arrow is, but that he will keep that secret. Chloe doesn't press him and agrees to not investigate it further. However, Lois is still angry towards Green Arrow and is set on discovering who he is in spite of the fact that she and Oliver are still friends.

In a side story that is going on with Lex Luthor and Lana Lang, Lex reveals to Lana that he has the alien power source and that a scientist within LuthorCorp is trying to figure out how  to use it. Lana goes to visit with Lionel and they talk about how they need to protect Lex from himself and should try and recover the power source before something bad happens. She then runs into the scientist in the elevator on the way out and she blackmails him into not letting Lionel get his hands on the alien technology. Lana goes back to Lex and they talk about how she already knows about the alien power source and that is is actually a weapon. She tells Lex that they should keep working on it, so as to be prepared in case more aliens arrive and attack. It is later revealed that Lex was coordinating all of this through Lionel to manipulate Lana and to see if he could trust her. Lex also points out that Lionel is using the Kent's and is trying to convince them that he is a good man.

So we see how the Luthor's are using other's to compete for power using either the Kryptonian's themselves or their technology. Lex is now using Lana and has her fooled that he is a good man and that she is starting to follow in his footsteps too.

Smallville Season 6 Episode 3-Wither

Wither is an episode about relationship transitions. We see Jimmy Olsen and Chloe Sullivan take their friendship to a new level. We see Oliver Queen and Lois Lane develop their relationship and spend some time together. We also see Lex Luthor and Lana Lang's relationship flourish and become more intimate. But for Clark Kent, there is no relationship to develop. He does meet up with a hot Park Ranger in short shorts and the perma-grin on his face as he talks to her is pretty funny. But alas, it wasn't meant to be for Clark and by the end of the episode, he is all alone in his barn loft. The main plot is kind of weak and hearkens back to the tone of the first couple of seasons of Smallville. Where there is a murder mystery and Clark, Chloe and Jimmy Olsen (instead of Pete) set out to solve it. Instead of meteor rocks, there is an actual alien, a Phantom that escaped from the Phantom Zone, causing the murders. So, it's not an entirely original plot but the relationships and character development is well done and advances the overall story of the season and series. 

FULL REVIEW:

At Makeout Point, there are lots of couples in cars making out. Jimmy Olsen and Chloe Sullivan are there because Jimmy got a tip that strange things happen there. Jimmy puts his arm around Chloe and they have an awkward moment and conversation about intimacy. They decide to take it slow. Chloe then changes her mind and they start kissing. A couple in another car get out and decide to go swimming. They hear screaming and go to check it out.

It's morning at the Kent home and they have been invited to a Dark Thursday fundraiser event held by Lex Luthor. Martha Kent tells Clark Kent that she responded to the invitation for the both of them. Clark tells her that he isn't too interested due to the fact that Lana Lang and Lex are together.

Clark arrives at the apartment above The Talon and talks with Chloe about the murders from the night before. They talk about how the murder was different and could be a somehow influenced by the meteor rocks. Clark asks Chloe what she was doing at make out point. Just then, Jimmy Olsen walks in and Clark realizes what is going on. He has a disappointed look on his face.

At the Kent home, Lois is sending an email regarding a job opportunity when someone knocks on the door. It is Oliver Queen, but Lois doesn't know who that is and mistakes him for an errand boy. He gives Lois an envelope with a donation to give to Martha, and Lois tips him and shuts the door. Martha comes down and asks who it was, and she realizes that it was Oliver but he has already left. Lois is embarrassed by what she did.

Chloe and Clark are approaching the murder scene with cops everywhere. Clark runs to the scene of the murder and is confronted by a park ranger, who just happens to be a good looking woman. They talk about how he isn't supposed to be there. They flirt a little and talk about how she has searched all over but hasn't found anything. Clark uses his x-ray vision and finds the missing boyfriend trapped under some roots. Chloe arrives just as Clark puts his hands on the roots and is cut.

At the hospital, Clark, Chloe and Jimmy sneak into the hospital and see the boyfriend. They look at the x-rays and see some things in his chest. Jimmy is jealous because he wasn't invited to go with them to the forest to look for the guy. Jimmy mentions that Chloe is his girl and they discuss their relationship. They decide to talk about it later. As they are leaving, they talk about how Lex factory might be influencing the forest and the vines. Clark will go to the mansion and check it out.

At the mansion, Clark goes into a greenhouse and discovers some seeds. Lex is there and confronts Clark as to why he is there. Clark tells him about the strange plants and they argue about how that everything Lex does isn't bad. Lex throws a dig in about Lana and Clark tells him that the closer Lana gets to him, the easier it will be for her to see what kind of person Lex is. Lex tells Clark to leave and that he isn't welcome there anymore.

Chloe goes to The Talon and runs into Lana, who was dropping off some things to Chloe. Lana felt like she needed an excuse to talk with her, they go upstairs to talk.  Lana mentions that Lex thinks that she hasn't let go of Clark yet. She feels that if she gets into a relationship with Lex she will lose her identity. They talk about Lana's trust issues and that the one that she doesn't trust is herself and her decisions she has made. Chloe encourages Lana to make a decision, whatever that is.

Jimmy is out in the forest taking pictures looking for clues. He hears a noise and the pretty park ranger suddenly appears behind him. He asks her help in finding a weird vine, and she says that she can help him find what he is looking for. She pushes him down and holds him while the vines come out of the ground and one goes in his mouth and down his throat.

Lois Lane bursts in on Oliver Queen in an office with an apology basket. She attempts to apologize and Oliver is giving her a hard time about it. She recommends that he work with Martha Kent. He invites her to go with him to the fundraiser. He even has a costume ready for her, so she grudgingly accepts.

Chloe and Clark discuss how the things in the boyfriends stomach are pods that could erupt at anytime. Just then there are screams and they go to the room and see that vines have erupted from the boys stomach, killing him. The doctors bring in a dead body of the park ranger, Clark looks at the body and realizes the park ranger that he met earlier is the cause of the strange vines. Clark heads off to the forest. Chloe goes back to the hospital room and the vines have inserted themselves into the electrical socket, shorting out the electrical wiring in the hospital. She also discovers that the vine has died from the electrical shock.

Clark meets up with the park ranger and he reveals that he knows that she is alien and not from this world. She recognizes him from the Phantom Zone and that he released her. She has the vines grab Clark and he is impaled through the stomach by one of them and is held in place by them. Jimmy Olsen is being held captive close-by.

At the Dark Thursday fundraiser, everyone is dressed in costume having fun and dancing. Lex, dressed as a Roman soldier, is walking through the crowd talking to his guests, he looks and sees Lana walking in dressed as an Egyptian princess. Lex thought he scared her off, but Lana tells him he'll have to try harder than that.

Lois and Oliver are there as well. Oliver is dressed as a masked Robin Hood and Lois is Maid Marion. They meet up with Lex and Lana and Oliver and Lex trade barbs briefly, then move on. They also meet up with Martha and Oliver is willing to meet with Martha to discuss a partnership.

Chloe arrives at the forest and finds Clark, she has a stun gun that she uses to electrocute the vines and free Clark. He takes off to the mansion and Chloe frees Jimmy. At the mansion, Clark confronts the alien park ranger. She throws him and is about to set the vines on him. Clark uses his heat vision to set the sprinklers off, because he had noticed that in the scuffle a light had fallen on the ground. This combined with the water electrocuted the vines and the alien, disintegrating both.

After the fundraiser, Oliver is taking Lois home and he attempts to kiss her. She holds him off and challenges him to shoot a soda can at about 50 yards. If he hits it, then he can kiss her, if he misses her then no kiss. He gets his bow and arrow and shoots, barely missing. Lois consoles him on the miss and goes inside. The camera pans to the arrow and we see that although he missed the can, he bullseyed the tab used to open the soda can revealing he made a much more difficult shot.

Lex and Lana are talking after the party, how it is a night of firsts, that it was the first time he's felt as satisfied as he did. Lex tells Lana that she is not like anyone else. Lana takes off Lex's Roman armor and clothes and they kiss by the fire. Lex takes off her clothes and they continue on.

At the loft in the Kent barn, Clark is left throwing a ball against the wall by himself as contemplates life.

Smallville Season 6 Episode 2-Sneeze

In this episode we see the introduction of Oliver Queen, aka Green Arrow, and we discover that he and Lex Luthor have a contentious history, that spans back to when they were young. Lana Lang is trying to convince herself that she made the right choice in picking Lex, by demonstrating loyalty to Lex even though he is doing things that she doesn't agree with. We see a first as Clark Kent gets sick for the first time in his life with a head cold no less. Everytime he sneezes there are disastrous consequences. We see him discover, with Chloe Sullivan's help, this new superpower and we see some humourous attempts to control it. I liked this episode as it was good to get back to a story where Clark is still discovering powers. It is reminiscient to how this was happening in the first couple of seasons of Smallville, when Clark discovered his x-ray vision, his laser beam shooting eyes and his super hearing.   FULL REVIEW:

Martha is watching the news about "Dark Thursday" (the recent events caused by Zod) and how the Pentagon is denying reports of any breach of security that could have led to the recent events. Clark comes back and has been out all night helping with the clean up efforts. He feels guilty for not killing Zod and allowing the destruction to happen.

Lana calls Pontius and Clark uses his super hearing to listen in. Clark takes off to find Pontius. Lana starts to look for something on Lex's desk and discovers a device. She pushes a button and a display monitor comes down and it shows video of the room that Lana is in and her undressing. She is also sees video of Lex and Pontius talking about the vehicle and Pontius had told the address, so she takes note of that.

Lex is being questioned and tells the abductor that an alien from another planet inhabited his body and allowed for him to have superpowers. The abductor thinks he is being mocked and threatens to kill Lana if he doesn't tell the truth. Lex then tells him that there is a serum in a vault on the 33rd floor of LuthorCorp and the code is Julian452. This is what gave him superpowers.

They go to Pontius' office and Chloe is trying to hack into the computer, Clark uses his x-ray vision to discover a hidden room. He tries to pry the door open, but is too tired. Chloe suggests he sneezes. Clark tells her he can't just do it on demand, she suggests that he blow instead. Clark gives it a try and blows the door down. They go into the room and find a photo of the warehouse. Clark tells Chloe to go back to the Planet and wait for him there, due to the danger. She doesn't want to go, but Clark runs off without her.

At the warehouse, Lana is brought in and the abductors threaten to inject her with the serum. Lex headbutts one of the abductors and Lana attacks the other. In the fight, Lex stabs one of the abductors with the serum and he starts shooting his gun, starting a fire.  He then passes out and the other escapes. The fire rages and there is no escape.

Smallville Season 6 Episode 1-Zod

What a great start to this new season of Smallville! General Zod almost takes over Earth for the first time (or again, depending on your age). We get to see Clark Kent kneel before Zod and trick him again (or for the first time). We see the Phantom Zone and those that inhabit it and how it's possible to escape it if you know the secret passageway. I watched in sadness as Lana Lang and Lex Luthor's relationship takes a new twist, as Lana is exposed to Kryptonian powers without somehow forgetting it by the end of the episode, but it is from Lex/Zod and not Clark Kent. Lana is forgiving of Lex and the terrible things that he did, but "he wasn't himself", so it's all good. Then we see Clark and Lois Lane share an emotional moment, then realize that it was not the norm for them, but they realize that they kind of liked it too. This could be a new beginning for them as they start to realize that their relationship could be more than big sister/little brother, and it wouldn't be so bad.  FULL REVIEW:

This episode starts right where Season 5 ended, Clark Kent is trapped in the Phantom Zone and is hurtling away from Earth. Chloe Sullivan and Lionel Luthor are being attacked amidst the chaos of Metropolis. Lex Luthor/Zod and Lana Lang are on top of the LuthorCorp building surveying the destruction.

In the Phantom Zone, Clark is wandering around an empty desert when he is attacked by specters who overwhelm him with their speed and ferocity. A robed stranger intervenes and drives them off with a beam of light emanating from a talisman engraved with the Superman 'S'. Clark thanks the stranger, but then the stranger kicks him in the head knocking him out and the welcomes him to the Phantom Zone.

In Metropolis, a LuthorCorp security guard helps rescue Lionel and Chloe and brings them into the LuthorCorp building and they head to the rooftop. On the rooftop, Lana urges Lex to stop the destruction with the powers that Professor Fine gave him. Lex then tells Lana that he is not Lex, but Zod. Chloe and Lionel arrive on the rooftop only to see Lex grab Lana and fly off.

Chloe and Lionel go back to his office and they talk about how Clark failed to stop Zod. They talk about going back to the barn and getting the knife to kill Zod/Lex. They try to think of another way. Lionel mentions that he doesn't have the connection with Jor-El anymore.
