2.20: Witness

[DarkCity545]

Clark runs up against super-strong robbers who hijack a secret Luthorcorp truck belonging to Lionel can match his strength and manages to find one of them. A Smallville High student named Eric Marsh who uses a respirator to inhale kryptonite fumes to get his strength. They try and kill Clark but when that doesn't work he anonymously gets the sheriff to arrest Eric. Lex gets Eric out to follow him to the missing goods but Eric evades him, destroys the Torch (apparently), and threatens the Kents. Lex sets up a fake delivery to lure Eric out and Clark slips in and uses his heat vision and superspeed to beat them, the Pete buries the distilled kryptonite.

Meanwhile Chloe and Clark have a fight when she feels he's blowing her off and Clark quits the Torch. Chloe falls in with Lionel, who offers to help her rebuild the Torch (having possibly had it destroyed) and give her a column with the Daily Planet as a possible alliance. And Lana and Henry Small bond but Jennifer Small plans to divorce her husband when she feels Lana is a new priority in Henry's life, so Lana gives up her time with him in the hopes they'll get back together.

luckily this was the first ep in a while i didn't miss. Nice to see Clark and Lana's relationship has moved on and Lex is engaged to Helen!!! wow

As for the episode, it was okay. I thought it was a little disappointing that Clark got beaten up by these guys twice but then all of a sudden managed to win. It seemed a little too easy. And why would they not want to tell about Clark, they're in jail - it's not like he can do anything to them? weird.

Lana and Henry - that was a really sweet thing she did and my heart went out for her, almost. but i still can't get myself to like her - there is just something so annoying about her!

Chloe and Clark - that's interesting and poor Chloe. I'm glad they didn't just solve it in one episode - this should take time.

Chloe and Lionel - also interesting. Does Chloe believe that Lionel really wants to help her? She must have been flattered, esecially if she's feeling like she has no friends, Lionel must seem like a life line. And this could be used to drive Chloe and Clark even further, she sides with Lionel whilst Clark with Lex.

I guess we have to wait and see........

Nasty Lionel, trying to seduce Chloe over to the Dark Side!

It was so sweet when Lana gave up Henry so that he could save his marriage. She must feel pretty bad - in one episode she managed to split up Henry and Jennifer, and Clark and Chloe!

So who do you think trashed The Torch if it wasn't Eric (how annoying was he?). Maybe Lionel, so that he could step in and look all heroic?
