So anyway, about the episode from last week. It featured yet another high school kid with super powers. This time, it was the school photographer who didn't get into a good school and wanted to live his glory days of high school forever. Therefore, he used his ability to freeze people alive to convince his dad to build a replica of the school which he used to keep some of the senior superlative winners cooped up for eternity. Unfortunately for him, he trapped Chloe and Lana, meaning Clark would be on the scene to save the day. Clark did save the day, and the kid died, leaving everybody to graduate. Well, everybody except the girl who was smashed into a few thousand pieces while she was frozen. Some people just never get a lucky break. Ha ha, I kill me.

The real news from last week was with Genevieve and Jason. Genevieve captured Lionel and Lex and took them out to some cabin in the middle of the woods. She was positive that Lionel was hiding information from her, so she threatened torture on Lex to get him to talk. What was the information she wanted? Well, a little location of an artifact or two would have helped. Lionel sat mum while Lex was jabbed with a hot poker a couple of times, but finally talked when Jason was about to stab Lex in the eye. The artifact from China was left with Lana.

While Genevieve and Jason discussed their nefarious plans, the Luthors escaped. As they left the cabin, Jason saw them, and a chase through the woods ensued. In all of the mayhem that followed Jason ended up being shot by the side of a gorge and falling a few hundred feet into the river below.

So, now that we got that out of the way, the finale started with Genevieve visiting Lana. She goes right out and says that she wants the third stone. Lana tries to play coy, but Genevieve has a gun. Lana is able to knock it away, and a cat fight takes place. I am sad to say that this cat fight really did nothing for me, but I can't tell if it's because I am more mature or just not that thrilled to see Jane Seymour in a cat fight. It looks like Lana is about to bite it, but she is once again possessed by the spirit of the Countess Thoreau, which gives her some magic, but more importantly it gives her witch strength. You would be surprised at how well you learn to defend yourself when entire villages are threatening to burn you at the stake.

With her newfound ability, Lana overpowers Genevieve and uses the Chinese artifact to stab her to death. This breaks some sort of spell, and Lana's tattoo vanishes, and the spirit of her ancestor leaves her. Just as she is doing the obligatory "oh there's blood on my hands! what have I done?!" type thing, Lex walks in. He offers to look after Lana for her own safety. Once at the mansion, he convinces her not to go to the police, and says that he has hired one of the premier defense attorneys to represent her.

Lana has legal troubles, but Clark has some problems of his own, namely that he has dreamed that some catastrophe is about to hit Smallville. That event is a meteor shower (although on television, it started out a little like a strange aurora borealis), and he wakes everybody up in the house when he continually shouts "it's coming!" over and over again in his sleep. His parents wake him up, and tell him it is a bad dream, but he can't help but think there is some sort of impending doom about to befall the town, and of course he blames himself.
