Season 4
In the season three finale, Clark was enticed by a Kryptonian girl, Kara, who had been sent to bring him home. After being pulled violently into the cave wall, Clark was trapped in a phantom zone.
As Season 4 begins, Clark seems to have resurfaced in Smallville, but is it really Clark or his alter ego, the emotionless Kryptonian Kal-El?
Breaking the show's long-standing rule, 'No Flights, No Tights,' Clark/Kal-El will soar up into the sky for the very first time.
Continuing the tradition of introducing well-known characters from the Superman mythology, Clark will also encounter the speedster known as The Flash and answer the long-time question: Who is the fastest teen alive?
Clark's world is turned upside-down as another landmark moment happens this season: The introduction of Lois Lane (newcomer Erica Durance). Expect the unexpected, when Lois' quick wit and dazzling beauty catch Clark totally off-guard.
While someday Lois and Clark will be the perfect match - as teenagers, they are oil and water, much in the same way Smallville has successfully surprised everyone by making Lex and Clark - future arch-enemies - the best of friends.
Lana returns from Paris with a mysterious tattoo and a new love – Jason. After Lois finds Clark, she brings him home, even though he has amnesia.
As the season progresses, Clark rejects his Kal-El self and his friendship with Lex Luthor starts deteriorating.
