Townsfolk (to General Lane/Lois): "We want answers."
We're finally getting to the end of the season and with the amount of breaks we've had, it's almost here. One more episode to go and then a second season to look forward to in 2022. As penultimate episodes go, this one certainly hit the right notes.
Adam Rayner has gone from corrupt businessman Morgan Edge to Superman's previously unknown half brother Tal-Rho and now he can add the Eradicator to the list of characters he's played this season. It's probably the last role but it's certainly going to be an impacting one.
The Eradicator didn't waste time in freeing Leslie Larr, making a few new Subjekts and causing some havoc in Metropolis, only to then turn around and drastically alter Jordan by the end of the episode. Is Jordan gone forever? I doubt it to be honest.
Speaking of Jordan, he was definitely getting closer to Sarah, only for the latter having to tell him that her family were leavig Metropolis for Briscoe City. There was a moment where it looked like Jordan was about to come clean to Sarah about his abilities as well. I can see that being revealed next season.
As for Lois, she had a near brush of death, with Steel saving her and of course, she tried and failed to help Sam do damage control at the town meeting. Lois almost succeeded in getting people to calm down until Derek Powell's mother turned up and raised more questions about the DOD's continued presence in Smallville.
Speaking of Sam, those injuries don't look particularly great either. Maybe I'm reading into it, but is he a possible goner? I can't help thinking we're going to get a death in the finale.
- John did seem a bit too dismissive of Jonathan wanting to work with him but it did seem fitting he got to save Lois from death in this episode.
- Tegan revealed that she's from Central City and her father is prison. I wonder if he's one of Barry Allen's rogues and which one.
- Chrissy may be selling the Gazette to a conglomerate, Tamara turned out to have Kyle's back and Clark and Lana had a lovely scene as well this week.
- Chronology: Three weeks since the previous episode.
The Eradicator is a strong penultimate episode, furthering the consequences of Edge's hold on Smallville while also setting what should be one hell of a confrontation between Superman and his son in the finale.
Rating: 8 out of 10
