Storyline

In this episode set on the day of Lex and Lana's wedding, the day is viewed three different times from three different perspectives: Clark's, Lex's, and Lana's. Lex receives a call from Dr. Langston who demands $2 million or he will tell Lana the truth about her baby which leads to a fatal showdown in a crypt. Meanwhile, Lana begins to have second thoughts about marrying Lex, and Clark comes to his own realization that he can't let Lana marry Lex and decides to tell her about his secret. But Lana finally discovers Clark's secret when she secretly witnesses him save Chloe from a locked wine cellar. However, no one is prepared for what happens next when Lionel Luthor steps in and tells Lana that he also knows Clark's secret abilities and he threatens to kill Clark unless Lana goes through with her marriage to Lex.

Goofs

The course of this episode is shown from the perspective of three characters: Clark, Lex, and Lana. And since the events are all the same, but from different perspectives, the dialogue must also be the same. However, when Chloe and Clark in the wine cellar, part of Clark's dialogue is different. In the first scene, Clark says, "Letting Lana go is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, Chloe. If you don't know that, then you don't know me as well as I thought you did." In the second scene, Clark says, "Giving up Lana is the hardest thing I've ever had to do in my life, and if you don't know that, then you don't know me very well." See more »

Quotes

Clark Kent: If Lana didn't wanna marry Lex, she wouldn't.
Chloe Sullivan: Yeah, but Lana's not my hero, Clark - *you* are. And this whole idea that you haven't told her who you really are, that you are giving up the one person that you totally love...
Clark Kent: I'm protecting her.
Chloe Sullivan: Good job. She's marrying a monster and trapping herself into a loveless life.
Clark Kent: Oh, you think this is easy for me?
Chloe Sullivan: I think it's easier than getting hurt. Clark, you don't hesitate to run into a burning building or jump in front of a bullet because nothing ...

Welcome to the Family – A Boring Soap Opera
18 May 2008 | by (Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) – See all my reviews

On the day of her wedding with Lex, Lana discovers the secret of Clark; Lex is blackmailed by Dr. Langston that threatens to reveal the truth about Lana's baby; and Clark finally confesses his love for Lana. When Lana decides to call-off her wedding to stay with Clark, Lionel forces her to marry Lex.

"Promise" is the worst episode of "Smallville", actually a boring soap-opera. The cinematography is magnificent, but the annoying Lana Lang and her "love story" with Clark Kent is awfully unpleasant, and I do not know why the authors insist in this nasty romance. The moaning Lana deserves to be part of the Luthor's family. My vote is four.

Title (Brazil): "A Promessa" ("The Promise")
