WARNING: Thar Be Spoilers Ahead!

So, with Martha Kent having left the show, and Jonathan Kent having been killed (both of which were really stupid ideas), Smallville is desperate to maintain that “family” aspect of the series. To that end, they have brought Clark’s cousin, Kara, in this season - and also, as it has been heavily reported, his mother will be appearing as well.

Played by Helen Slater, the very same actress who played Supergirl in that terrible terrible movie, Clark’s mother, Lara will be featured in the 6h episode of the series, along with Clark’s uncle, Zor-El.

In the episode, Kara has been kidnapped by the government, and injected with a Kryptonite based “truth serum” that causes her to have flashbacks to a previous visit to Earth, where Lara and Zor-El were actually at the Kent farm.

Meanwhile, Chloe learns of a secret that Lana has been keeping from Clark - and Lex is fascinated by Kara’s crystal.

On a personal note, Smallville, which used to be a favorite show of mine, is really stretching out in the wrong directions this year (in my opinion, at least). As a result - I’m not loving as much as I used to.
