Will this show ever go forth?

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Yet another episode of Smallville... Where nothing happens or is remembered from the previous one. Heck, the only thing that this episode refer to the previous one is that in the near ending of this episode Chloe is telling Clark that she's going to the hospital to look on Jimmy. Shouldn't Clark look up on Jimmy/Lois? Nah, he's busy being a reporter/police. Righty row.

I can't really understand why I keep watching this series. Why can't something happen between Clark & Lois? Just back and... well, can't really say it goes forth. Ever. Seemed to be something nice going on on Chloe's wedding, but that's erased now?

I have some questions, which I seems to be waiting forever to see an answer to.... When will Clark put on the cape? Sure, there is a "blue and red blur" hero now, but come on... Get the wings and get on with it! Why must everything go on so slowly? Why must Lana Lane return all the time?

Sigh. So what "happens" in this episode then? Well... Clark gets into trouble with the police once more (most likely all forgotten to the next ep) while trying to figure out what happened to his pal John Jones, sets a guy, who has lost his way, straight, and finally Tess gets some real info about Lex.
