Brutal, brutal episode, in regard to the Clark & Lana relationship. First, the absolute tragedy twice over in "Reckoning," in regard to Lana and Clark, right when those two had reached the peak of joy. Now this; and again, hitting you twice. Ugh.
All through the series, I've thought Clark has treated Lana so well (not to mention his saving her life 40 times), and Lana has shown little gratefulness to Clark, and has been so quick to judge him, showing him so little patience.
But, this year, especially in the last 10 episodes, Lana's gone through so much for Clark (he died when things were going great), he pulled away and she broke up with him the day his dad died, yet she came back to him out of compassion. And he's given her no thanks. He pulls away more, and she keeps reassuring him "I love you so much" and "When you figure this out, I'll be here for you." What grace, kindness, and patience, while he was a dumbo who wouldn't just tell her his secret (she wouldn't die, as Jonathan already had fulfilled that prophecy)! Now, in this episode, he does her so wrong. He's wasted her time all these years. Cruel, while trying to do something for her good. But it's not for her good! It's in effect mean. Big mistake.
