A few new clips from this week's episode of Smallville have surfaced. Judging from the clips and The CW's promo for the episode, it looks like Clark Kent is about to do something he's never done before. No, he's not gonna fly, but this episode looks like it might be a pretty big deal.Click through for some minor spoilage.
Clark will finally reveal his secret to the world in "Infamous," Thursday's episode of Smallville. The clips feature Clark using his powers in public and talking to fans on the street. According to the official episode description, Clark decides to go public with his powers after his secret is threatened by Linda Lake (guest star Tori Spelling). Apparently Lois will publish a story about Clark's powers, revealing the truth behind the "Red-Blue Blur."
Unless the producers of Smallville are planning to diverge from the Superman mythos in a really huge way this time, I'm sure that the events of this week's ep will be reversed. At the end of this ep, or maybe in the next ep, Clark will have a change of heart and, magically, no one will remember that he's a superman. He'll go back in time to change the past, use the fortress to wipe people's minds, or some such nonsense. It might even be some kind of bizzaro dream/fantasy/alternate reality episode.
I'm not a big fan of spoilers, so I haven't looked around to find out what "the deal" is with this ep, but what do you think, Smallville fans. Will Clark's secret be out or good, or will someone press the "Reset" button before things get too out of control? Also, if the plan is to press the "Reset" button, how do you think they'll do it? I'm almost willing to bet that Clark will somehow use his Legion ring to travel back in time to fix the problem. Guess we'll find out on Thursday.

If I remember right, in the movies all he had to do was kiss Lois to remove her memories

Yeah, I'm guessing he's going to just make out with the world at the end of the episode.

I bet it's a dream sequence...
When are they going to get back to the whole "Justice League" or Doomsday bits? Come on!
And just to make sure, Lana's gone, right?

No, and as a matter of fact, Clark will suggest that she start wearing more tight sweaters.

Based on the spoilers site you linked to, it sounds like Clark will merely talk to a reporter about his abilities assuming that the details will be published. As the other commenters suggest, I'm guessing he'll just kiss the article goodbye, maybe even inadvertently.

I think we're about to see Clark's first experience with acid. The colors in the sequences were a bit off, and I bet throughout the show there will be lots of classic rock songs and spiders. How's Clark gonna get out of this one? He'll have to chase the dancing mushrooms across the galaxy and fight the blue meanies that threaten all the love, man, all of it, and it's all like love is god and all, so we're all making god when we hug each other it's true, man.

My guess is hes gonna pul out that ring the time travelers gave him, and theyre gonna help him out with it.. like either something that will whipe out everyones memories or go back in time like with the crystal in the fortress after he told lana his secret... whatever happens in the end im sure ill be dissappointed when everything goes back to normal lol
