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."

Quotes

Nell Potter: This may be the most important day of your life. What's wrong?
Lana Lang: It's just... if there was something that you had to put past you to get on with your life, and you tried every way that was fair and honest to do that and nothing worked... is it really wrong to bend the rules just once?

User Reviews

Lana Lang and Clark Kent are the Two DUMBEST Characters in Television History

This is why they are made for each other. There is no intelligence, communication, trust, honesty, faithfulness and respect between them. Both are blindly willing to sacrifice everything to protect the other.

The producers of this show are laughing all the way to the bank, they keeps 'Clana' doing the DUMB things they do so the viewers will be glued to this show and keep coming back for more, I am now a victim waiting for some good news to come out of this show, waiting for a glimmer of hope.

It's always the same story in life: without True LOVE there can NEVER be True HAPPINESS and no sacrifice is worth being loveless. It's better to live a short but a happy life than the other way around.
