After last week, it would be very hard to follow up with an episode to top Memoria. However, there were some important events:
1) No Lana/Clark or Chloe/CLark interactions
2) Lex and Lana obviously got closer
3) Lex admits in his theory, that the "dark one" may be a hero, because "Naman" needs someone (him) to keep him in check from becoming too powerful.
4) Jonathan's deal with Jor-el is aluded to again, with his healing power.
5) Clark wears a red cape recovering from the stabbing event
6) Jonathan says to Clark that he may be the world's greatest hero, or its most mild-mannered citizen...it is up to him.
7) It is quite obvious that Lionel knows that Clark is Naman.
8) There is a logical reason for Pete to leave the show....he will move to Wichita to live with his mother, Federal Judge Ross (gets his first taste of politics, as he will eventually be VP?)
9) In the trailer for the next two episodes, Kara floats Clark.....that may make it worth watching alone.
Definitely a stepping-stone to the finale episode. I'm finding Clark needs to start acting more Superman-ish. He's so conflicted as to who he is and what he's supposed to do.....but he knows he loves saving people....
(since Tom Welling just turned 27, he could turn around and play Superman tomorrow if he wanted to....bring on Lois Lane!!)
