Full Recap

Clark meets with Lana at the barn and tells her they’re going on a “mystery date.” Clark takes her to the Kawatche caves and into the secret chamber. After asking if she trusts him, and her agreeing, Clark uses the spaceship key and they’re teleported to the Fortress. Clark takes her up to one of the upper chambers and reveals everything about his past, and how he hid it from Lana to protect her. Then he takes a piece of coal and applies pressure, turning it into a diamond and puts it on a ring for her, and proposes.

Martha and Jonathan return from voting in the election for State Senate and Clark tells him about the proposal. They’re happy and realize that he is finally a man now.

Lana meets with Lois to help decorate for Jonathan’s (presumed) victory party and Lois realizes something significant has happened with Lana. Lana asks how Lois would react to finding a secret about someone she cared for, and Lois talks about how she’d be honored to have a friend like Clark, no matter what secret he might have. After a chat with Chloe, Clark returns to the farm where Lana arrives and announces that she accepts his proposal.

At the Talon, Lois brings word that Jonathan has won and the people there go wild. Lana gets a call from Lex and goes to meet him. He’s drunk and depressed that he’s failed to escape Lionel’s shadow once more, and then he notices the ring and concludes Clark must have told him his secret for her to accept his proposal. When Lana lies and denies it, Lex gets angry and Lana leave in her car. Lex pursues and as he pulls up to her, she calls Clark and fails to see an approaching school bus. Clark gets there at super-speed as Lex looks on, but Lana is dead and there’s nothing he can do. Jonathan arrives and pulls him away, and then Clark travels to the Fortress and pleads with Jor-El to bring Lana back to life. Jor-El points out there must be a balance, and Lana’s life is the sacrifice for restoring Clark, as a result of his telling her his secret.

Jor-El then says that there is a special crystal that can be used once and only once, but there still must be a balance. Clark takes the crystal, there’s a flash, and he’s now back at the moment where he met Lana at the barn. This time Clark doesn’t tell her his secret and Lana tells him she’s tired of his lies and she wants to separate.

Clark then meets with Chloe and explains what happened, and she agrees to stay with Lana to prevent her from dying this time around. That night at the victory party Jonathan’s victory is announced but Lois doesn’t make the announcement. The lights flicker and Clark races up to find Lois in a puddle of water with an overturned toaster, and he rescues her just in time. While he’s gone Lana gets the call from Lex and goes to meet him. But Jonathan also gets a call from Lionel who wants to discuss something with him after “their” victory.

This time Lana tells Lex that she and Clark have had their last fight and she’s tired of his lies and secrets. He kisses her and she storms out and he gives chase, just like the last time. Chloe warns Clark and he secretly gets there to stop the bus, while Lex catches up and apologizes to Lana. Lana notices Jonathan drive by on his way to his meeting with Lionel.

Lionel meets with Jonathan at the Kent barn and tells him he plans to collect on his financing of Jonathan’s campaign. Jonathan refuses and says he’ll pay him back, but Lionel shows him a piece of paper that he intends to use as blackmail. Jonathan throws the paper to the ground and stalks out, but he begins to stagger and then collapse. Lionel takes the paper and leaves while Martha and Clark go to Jonathan’s aid but there’s nothing they can do but watch him die.

As they prepare for the funeral, Martha assures Clark there’s nothing he could have done and that Jonathan will always be proud of him. At the end Clark is at the gravesite and Lana briefly holds his hand, but then she leaves him alone to face his responsibilities…as a man.
