Plot holes: Ms. Swan tells The Traveler that she will "take an apartment in Metropolis" and she tells Lex that she has been living in Europe. The headline of her death says "Prominent Metropolis Citizen...", implying that she was a full-time resident. more

Lois Lane:
Okay. Better make sure that camera is loaded with ammo because I got tomorrow's headline. "Daughter of Nobel-Winning Astronomer Murdered."
Jimmy Olsen:
That Swann woman they fished out of the lake last night?
Lois Lane:
Yeah.
Jimmy Olsen:
I thought that she drowned.
Lois Lane:
More like sank. Kind of hard to swim after you've been shot.

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***
An open-ended continuation of Season 7's 14th episode 'Traveler' leaves many questions heading into the final quarter of this season.
BrainIAC wants Kara. Why? We do not know, but in Kara and Clark's defiance, BrainIAC takes control of a human that is a large part of Clark's life. This causes Kara to make a crucial decision. Lex, having secured one of the keys of Veritas after Patricia Swann died in 'Traveler,' gets closer to recovering the keys he needs to discover a secret in Zurich by remembering Veritas meetings that his father held with Virgil Swann, Robert Queen and Edward Teague- meetings that lead to Lionel and Lex's journey to Smallville back in this series' pilot. Finally, Lionel desperately warns Chloe that something terrible is coming, but for all his lies and deceit of the past, Chloe refuses to listen to him.
For everything that was revealed in the last episode, more was left open-ended in 'Veritas.' However, we do see that the society of Veritas had wanted to control the Traveler, who is Clark, from the beginning, but didn't know how. We also see that Lionel's intentions with the Traveler have changed since he became the emissary of Clark's biological father Jor-El.
I am a little conflicted with the episode, particularly concerning the final scene involving Lana, but there are plenty of compelling story lines and backstory that are left to be wondered about once this exciting episode concludes.
