Plot Synopsis
Storyline
Together with the meteor shower, two evil super powerful Kryptonians beings, Aethyr and Nam-Ek, arrive in Smallville from a black spaceship looking for Kal-El. Clark Kent is transported with Chloe from the Kawatche caves to the Artic and the Fortress of Solitude is built in the ice from the fully formed Knowledge Crystal. The spirit of Jor-El begins to educate Clark, but when he sees Chloe needing help, Clark stops the class and promises Jor-El to return until the sunset. Chloe discloses to Clark that she knows his secret. Back in Smallville, Lois helps Jonathan to rescue the severely injured Martha from the debris of their house in which Jason Teague was apparently killed by the blast. Lana lures Aethyr and Nam-Ek to the Luther mansion to try to stop them, and Clark arrives just in time to save Lana and trap the Kryptonian criminals in the so-called Phantom Zone, but Jor-El removes his abilities to punish Kal-El for not committing with his promise. Also, the comatose Lionel Luther ... Written by Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

One thing that remains unexplained. Apparently Jor-El, or some other Kryptonians, came to Earth at least 400 years ago (based on events in prior episodes) to create/set up all of these elaborate phenomena in the caves, one of them being the spirit of Clark's father Jor-El. The reason for all of this was to prepare for Clark's (Kal-El) coming to Earth. So they knew many years ago that Krypton was going to explode and that Kal-El would be sent to Earth. How did they know that? Clairvoyance? Also, if they came to Earth once before, why didn't they escape Krypton's destruction and come back to Earth? It just doesn't make sense. Sure, it's an X-files type of show geared to younger audiences and the comic book crowd. But, geez, at least make it somewhat plausible!
