With
Smallville finally returning, the fans are saved. Of course, with an episode titled as "Savior," one would expect that. For tonight, the action and the journey of the Man of Steel will continue once again as Clark (Tom Welling) embraces his destiny more and more.
On "Savior," Clark declares that he's ready to start his training. However, this leads Jor-El (
supposedly portrayed by Julian Sands) to send him back to Metropolis. As part of taking his new path, he must sever ties with Lois (Erica Durance) once and for all.
Meanwhile, Lois suddenly reappears after being missing for weeks. Chloe (Allison Mack) is surprised at her sudden arrival, and is even more shocked to hear how Lois can't remember anything. She apparently vanished into thin air with the Legion ring a while back. Unfortunately, she has no recollection of it.
Later, Lois starts an investigation of a monorail crash. There she meets a new reporter at the Daily Planet named John Corben (guest star Brian Austin Green). Things don't work out between them when she finds out how negative he feels about the Red-Blue Blur. As we expect, she takes offense at that.
As for Chloe, she ends up begging Clark to go back in time using the Legion ring in order to save Jimmy (Aaron Ashmore). Even though the idea could work, Clark refuses to do it and damages their friendship.
Oliver (Justin Hartley), on the other hand, is still treading that dark road of depression as he ponders his existence as a superhero. If those aren't enough stories for you, there's also the advent of a new villain in Clark's life. We all know who that is: Zod (Callum Blue).
Below's a sneak peek of "Savior" and you can also watch another clip of the episode
here.
Don't miss the premiere of
Smallville season 9 tonight, Friday at 8pm on the CW.
