Clark works hard to clean up the destruction done by Zod and develops what he thinks is his first cold apparently caused by his powerless time in the Phantom Zone. However, he soon discovers it is a new power: super breath! Meanwhile, Lois lands a job at The Inquisitor, the local tabloid and begins to investigate Clark, which forces Chloe to try to keep her off Clark's tail. Lana moves in the Luthor mansion with Lex, who believes someone is following him, which quickly proves to be true after he is kidnapped by a renegade government agent after he had witnessed Lex commit crimes during his possession by Zod. Also, Lionel meets with Oliver Queen, a young and reclusive millionaire and an old boarding school friend of Lex's, who arrives in Metropolis and offers his business to Luther Corp.

Chloe Sullivan: Lois, as in Lane?
Clark Kent: Now she's on a one-woman crusade to find an explanation. You know her, she won't stop digging until she hits China.

A Weak and Silly Episode

Clark Kent is completely worn-out, rebuilding Metropolis during the night, and he has a cold with a powerful sneeze. Meanwhile, Lana Lang moves to Lex Luthor's mansion, who is worried about someone that is following him. When Luthor is kidnapped by two former government agents that had seen his powers through a satellite and wants to know how he could be so powerful, the weak Clark tries to find him. Lionel Luthor has a meeting with the millionaire Oliver Queen and advises him that if something bad happens to Lex, there would be a payback.

"Sneeze" is a very weak and silly episode of "Smallville". I was completely disappointed with the predictable situations disclosed in this story. The good news are the arrival of a new criminal in Metropolis, Oliver Queen, and the proximity of the marvelous Chloe Sullivan to Clark. The rest is totally forgettable. My vote is six.
