So this week on Smallville we get to see Clark almost fly again. "Turbulence" starts with a very uninteresting confessional session with Davis Bloom. But then moves on to a great scene with Clark and Chloe. Clark has been running around the city saving people in his newly embraced dual identity which is great, we are finally getting to see a "Super Clark" But then Chloe is all like "Maybe you should slow down Clark!" WTF! We finally get Clarks ass in gear and Chloe pulls a 180 and tells him to slow down. Well come on season finale lets get this death on with cause if she is gonna hold him back then she has got to go.

So then we skip to Jimmy in the Hospital and he stumbles upon Davis murdering someone in order to control his "inner beast". But let's skip to the good stuff. Tess is taking Clark on a "Business Trip" that I have a feeling is going to go bad. Now back to the hospital UGH! Jimmy sneaks into Davis's ambulance, He finds a dead body. Davis comes in drugs him with some type of hallucinogen so that Jimmy thinks that he is seeing Doomsday attack Chloe.

Now back to the plane. Clark is trying to get Tess drunk so that she will tell him what was in Lex's journal. Of course it just really makes her start to basically call Clark out on his abilities. Which doesn't sit to well with Tess. Then the shit hits the fan and the plane is going down. Clark goes to investigate and he sees that the pilot is gone. Then Tess tells clark that she can't find the parachutes she just found and while Clark has her breath into the mask while he secretly cuts off her oxygen so that she passes out. He then in a very "Super" fashion kicks the plane door off, grabs Tess and then jumps out of the plane.



Then we cut to Jimmy cracking Davis over the head with a pipe. Of course Davis freaks out and starts turning into Doomsday when Chloe comes along and tazes Jimmy and tells Davis he is safe now. Davis is calmed by Chloe's touch and returns to his human form.

Now we see Clark walking into the Luthor Mansion not knowing weather Clark flew or just jumped to save them. Of course Tess knows that Clark is lying because he said he found just one parachute and she knows that there was more than one. We can also see that Tess may have a little bit of a thing for Clark. But then Chloe starts pooping on the party, "Clark you flew out of the plane and saved her she is too close to your secret." To which Clark replies "I didn't fly, I jumped." Then she wants him stop being the Red Blue Blur and quit the planet. WTF!

Then back to the hospital again. Jimmy is getting out and he gives Chloe what for. Telling her that they are done and marrying her was the biggest mistake ever.

We then get to see one of the coolest scenes to date on Smallville. Clark is on his computer at the planet and he sees an alert for a male predator on the loose. He speeds into the phone booth and changes into his Red and Blue. AWESOME! Then we see Jimmy in his car taking what looks to be candy. and we also get to see Davis in the rain. Whoop dee friggin doo! Shows over! I like this weeks episode it had some pretty awesome scenes but I could have done without the Chloe/Jimmy Drama. To me it seems very apparent that they are beginning to write her character out of the show.

Hopefully you all caught the preview for next week with none other than the Beautiful Zatanna. It appears we finally get to see Clark fly in this episode which I will believe when I see. But I must say I can't wait to see next weeks episode it looks to be a great one. Let me know what you think about this weeks episode and the preview for next weeks too.
