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
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...

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")
