Quotes:

Chloe Sullivan: There are still a few blind spots, though. Like, how did we get beamed from the Kawatche cave to the North Pole? And, uh, what was really going on in that 40-story igloo?
Clark Kent: Well, Chloe, there's a lot of things about me that even I don't understand. The meteor rocks... They didn't make me who I am.
Chloe Sullivan: So you're saying you were born this way?
Clark Kent: I wasn't born anywhere near Smallville. In fact, I wasn't born anywhere near this galaxy.
Chloe Sullivan: Okay. Okay, so that would then make you, like, an...
Clark Kent: Yeah.
Chloe Sullivan: Uh, but you... You look so...
Clark Kent: Human? I'm still the same person.
Chloe Sullivan: Clark, I... I... I think you're so amazing. You save people's lives and take zero credit for it. To me, you're more than just a hero. You're a superhero.
Clark Kent: Chloe.

Losing the Abilities and Revelations

Together with the meteor shower, two evil super powerful Kryptonians beings, Aethyr and Nam-Ek, arrive in Smallville looking for Kal-El. Clark Kent is transported with Chloe from the Kawatche caves to the Artic and the Fortress of Solitude is built in the ice. Jor-El begins to educate Clark, but when he sees Chloes needing help, Clark stops the class and promises Jor-El to return until the sunset. Chloe discloses to Clark that she knows his secret. Lois Lane helps Jonathan to rescue Martha from the debris of their house. Lana lures Aethyr and Nam-Ek, and Clark arrives just in time in the Luthor's mansion to save Lana and trap the Kryptonians in the Ghost Zone, but Jor-El removes his abilities to punish Kal-El for not committing with his promise.

"Arrival" is a great conclusion for the last episode of the Fourth Season. Clark Kent, without his powers, finally confess his love to Lana. Chloe reveals that she knows his secret and Luthor steals the alien spacecraft. The beginning of the Fifth Season is promising. My vote is eight.
