Battle lines have been drawn and it’s time for some finality between Clark and Davis, as the Justice League and Cosmic Boy of the Legion of Super-Heroes try to force Clark’s hand. Jimmy (re)learns Clark’s secret, and that can’t bode well for him, and the voice that’s been guiding Tess stands revealed.
Yeah, you guessed it—Season finale time!
The Random:
1. Gotta say, Clark, Cosmic Boy sure makes a convincing argument for killing Doomsday. You know, by telling you if you don’t he’ll frikkin’ kill you. Tomorrow. Get on that.
2. It’s always fun when members of the Justice League show up, and the debate over whether to kill Davis threatens to tear the team apart with Clark and Ollie officially on the outs over it all. That can’t be good, especially when Ollie shoots a Kryptonite arrow into Clark to stop him from stopping them.
3. Jimmy has now rediscovered Clark’s secret, but they’ve already tricked him once, and mind wiping is so passé, so that means there’s only thing they can do with him now…

Nothing hurts a friendship more than an arrow to the back. |
The Awesome:
1. The Clark vs. a full on Doomsday battle barely happens, but Lois and Tess have a throwdown for the ages. No hair pulling, no scratching teenage catfight crap, just good old fashioned fisticuffs around the office. And it all leads to Lois finding Clark’s Legion flight ring and being transported…elsewhere.
2. Jimmy’s final scene with Chloe gives his character closure as the two of them reaffirm their love for one another in his last moments. And the other part of his last moments? Yeah, he does what they should have done long ago and kills Davis even as he fades to black. Great moment.
3. You know it’s a season finale when a major character is dead, Lois is lost in time, Clark wigs out and declares Clark Kent is dead and decides he can’t be a part of humanity and needs to sever his ties with everyone, and Tess’ marching orders have been coming from a familiar name—Zod. Way to leave us hanging, Smallville.

I’m no love specialist, but this likely killed the mood. |
The WTF?!:
1. Lois is in the bullpen with Clark, once again the two of them in there alone afterhours, and after she chews him out for not doing enough to find Chloe, she gets a call from the Red Blue Blur and carries on a full conversation with him and somehow ignores that Clark isn’t in the room anymore and she never saw him leave. Investigative journalism at its finest.
2. I mean, really, does Chloe think she can just hang around Davis 24 hours a day for the rest of their lives in order to keep Davis from changing? Given that she has to know he’s functionally immortal and won’t age like a human, did she really think that through? Or did she take a plan from the Lana Book of Wily Schemes?
3. The Doomsday/Clark fight was billed as the battle to end them all, but while it started out cool with some mindless destruction and Clark taking a punch through a wall, it ended just as abruptly with Clark grabbing Doomsday and jumping away. That’s it. No extended fight, no back and forth, no nothing. One minute, and then a jump. He’s had longer verbal fights with Papa Kent. But perhaps the worst of it? Jimmy kills Davis, only he wasn’t really the Jimmy comic fans thought he was; he was Henry James Olsen and the Jimmy Olsen we knew from the comics? Yeah, his little brother. He's the real Jimmy Olsen. I swear to you, I can’t make that up.
