This show is a lot like Frankenstein's monster, cobbled together out of odd pieces and reanimated only to shuffle along like some unholy mishmash of creation. We have the pieces that happen off-screen and the pieces that happen on-screen, which are then stitched together and shot through with bolts of exposition and special effects to try to create something resembling a TV show. This week, we learn of things that have been happening off-screen: Chloe has been embezzling money from one of Oliver's companies in order to stockpile Kryptonite weapons to fight the Kandorians when they inevitably run amok. We also hear of a few Kandorian scientists who have been bringing human corpses back to life in order to find a way to gain their powers. Chloe and Oliver have also been apparently carrying on in some way intimate enough to lead her to believe a visit he pays her is of the sexy kind.
Alas, it's not. He shows up on-screen so we can learn of the embezzling/weapons plot and so he and Chloe can debate whether or not they trust Clark enough to let him in on it. One of those corpses the Kandorians experimented on shows up to tell Lois about how he was experimented on. When she thinks he's a UFO conspiracy weirdo, he kidnaps her and forces her to write an alien exposé. He's also kidnapped several Kandorians, including Faora's heretofore unseen sister Vala. No one besides Zod seems very curious about the terroristic attacks on the towers, which police have apparently explained away as an accident. Clark and Zod both try to rescue Vala, but Zod gets shot in the process and dies. Clark brings him back to life by dripping some of his own blood into Zod's wound. He and Clark make up, or so it seems, because Clark's blood didn't just save Zod, it gave him super powers. Zod leaps from the top of the Daily Planet building and zooms across the sky, having learned how to fly somewhere off-screen.
