4.2 Gone

Lana: "Well, I'm gonna go."
Lois: "But the awkward tension is just getting started."

Big, busy, climactic episode, with helicopters and multiple nude shower scenes and everything. And Chloe's finally back. Hallelujah.

God, I love Lois. Digging up Chloe's grave. Walking in on Clark in the shower. (Was she hoping for a second glimpse of Clark Jr., or just trying to catch him off guard?) There was some wonderful chemistry between Clark and Lois. Much more so, in my opinion, than there has ever been between Clark and Lana.

Turned out Lex was hiding Chloe, which made sense, and even saved her life. Lex won this round of the Lionel/Lex death match, although I just don't believe Lionel will be in jail for long. During the early scene when Lionel implied he was behind Lex's poisoning and told Lex he would never, ever be safe from him, Lex's usual bravado deserted him. I think Lex was finally afraid of his father. Who wouldn't be?

The Clark/Lex friendship was still on the rocks, and Lex was all obsessed with the plane incident. Clark has even started to believe Lex may be Sageeth. Are they finally on the road to being enemies?

Lionel hired an interesting meteor freak from Belle Reve, Trent aka Ginsu-boy. Clark and Lois blew him up into little pieces together. Does that mean that Clark finally killed someone?

Bits and pieces:

-- Michael Ironside appeared as General Sam Lane, Lois' father. Great character actor. I've always been fond of Michael Ironside.

-- Clark, nude shower scene. And Lionel even nuder shower scene! Lionel was injured yet again. I think Lionel has been injured nearly as many times as they've put Lana in danger.

-- Lois' mother died when Lois was six.

-- Lana's boring new tattoo appears to be related to the caves, just like everything else.

-- I've never cared much for Lana Lang as a character, but I'll freely admit that Kristin Kreuk is one of the prettier people on the planet, and her new look is a good one for her. Now if they could just cut Tom Welling's hair and get him out of plaid.

-- Lex saved the Talon for Lana. He's in loooovve.

-- Lois called Clark "Smallville."

-- Clark threw Ginsu Boy across the foundry floor. One point.

Quotes:

Lois: "Nothing like a little 'North by Northwest' action to get the blood pumping, huh?"

Lois: "I don't understand what the big deal is here. We just took a shower."
Clark: "Showersss. We took separate showersss."

Clark: "She's bossy, she's stuck up, she's rude. I can't stand her."
Lana: "The best ones always start out that way."

Jason: "I'm freaking you out with the whole Cary Grant moment, aren't I?"
Jensen Ackles is way cute. I liked him two years ago when this episode first aired. (I'm writing retro reviews.) But I like him even better in "Supernatural."

Four out of four stars,

Billie
