Davis stops by the apartment hoping to talk to Chloe, but he meets Jimmy instead, so the paramedic says he won’t be able to attend the wedding. Jimmy heads off to Kent Farm where he’s disappointed that Chloe still doesn’t remember him, yet somehow she knows what Facebook is. I guess the things that are truly important stay with you.

Jimmy takes Chloe to the hospital for an MRI. Chloe loses another memory of the first time she befriended Clark, which gives us an adorable scene of young Clark and young Chloe. He gets her a book she wants, and young Chloe gives him a little kiss. The virus starts deleting this memory, so young Chloe runs far, far away to escape the Brainiac virus eating up her memories. Needless to say, it’s a flawed plan.

She runs to her memory of the Daily Planet on Dark Thursday, the day atr the end of season 5 when General Zod escaped the Phantom Zone and released Brainiac’s computer virus that caused a worldwide blackout. That memory vanishes too, and all that’s left is Davis. I’m getting the sense that Davis being General Zod’s son is only the beginning of the plans Smallville has for Doomsday.

Back in the real world, Chloe finds Davis, the only thing she remembers other than her own name. He takes her back to her apartment, and she’s angry that Davis betrayed her trust. She’s scared of Jimmy and Clark, but Davis knocks her unconscious with an injection. Clark flies her off to the Fortress and begs Jor-El to restore her memories, except for the stuff about Krypton. Why would Smallville want to move the plot backwards?
