Jonathan Kent: Yes you can. This is your destiny son. You are going to touch the lives of so many people, not just as a man but as a...as a symbol. You're a symbol of Peace, you're a symbol of Justice, and now it's time for you to go.

Beyond Death

The lonely Lana gets addicted in a meteor rock cocktail developed by her new acquaintance student of medicine Lance, which allows the user to have a near-death experience and visit the dead loved relatives and friends. Meanwhile, Clark goes to Honduras, where there is a massive destruction, trying to find Milton Fine and the spacecraft, following a lead of Chloe. When Lana gets in trouble, Clark returns but is injected with the serum. In his trip, he meets Jonathan, who tells him that Lionel Luthor knows his secret, while Martha gets close to Lionel.

"Void" is another great episode of the Fifth Season of "Smallville". The experiences of Clark, Lex and Lana with their parents discloses revelations to each character: Clark is informed about Lionel; Lex talks to his mother, who advises him about his fate; and Lana is feeling an emptiness in her life after breaking-up with Clark. My vote is nine.
