12/25 - The aftermath of Doomsday's attack on Chloe and Jimmy's wedding leaves Clark in shock, but before he can search for the kidnapped Chloe, The Persuader (guest star Fraser Aithceson) appears and attacks him. Rokk (guest star Ryan Kennedy), Imra (guest star Alexz Johnson) and Garth (guest star Calum Worthy), also known as The Legion, step in from the future to help vanquish the Persuader and the group realizes Brainiac has taken over Chloe once again. Meanwhile, up at the Fortress, Chloe, as Brainiac, informs Davis he is Doomsday and was created to kill "the other Kryptonian" and destroy the world. Source: The CW

11/20 - In the devastating wake of what happens at the end of ["Bride"] - let's just say that Davis isn't feeling like himself and Chloe is due for a helluva honeymoon - Smallville is going to need a truly super clean-up crew. Cue the arrival of Saturn Girl (aka Imra Ardeen), Lightning Lad (Garth Ranzz) and Cosmic Boy (Rokk Krinn), all of whom travel far to tackle this task - specifically, from the 31st century. Played by Alexz Johnson (well-known for her run as Jude on Instant Star), Calum Worthy (who has had a handful of appearances on Psych) and Ryan Kennedy (from CTV's Whistler), the trio of helping hands will effectively introduce Clark to the famed Legion of Super-Heroes. The three Legionnaires are slated to make their debut in Smallville's first episode back following the midseason break: "Legion," penned by Geoff Johns (a favorite scribe of DC Comics fans) and airing Jan. 15.

10/27 - Three Legionnaires from the future will appear - and if you're guessing it's the same roster that appeared in their first appearance way back when, you guessed correctly... the three Legionnaires will be Garth, Imra, and Rokk, who have powers of electricity, telepathy, and magnetism, respectively.

10/06 - The threat of Brainiac - who has taken over Chloe's body - brings three super-heroes from the future back to the past. Eventually they work together to try and separate Chloe from her Brainiac side. Erica Durance, Aaron Ashmore, Cassidy Freeman, and Justin Hartley do not appear in this episode. This episode features a Legion villain that [Geoff] Johns himself is surprised he was able to use. No word on who yet, but our money's on Darkseid, Mordru, or the Time Trapper. Source: KryptonSite
08/28 - [Exec producer Darren] Swimmer confirmed an appearance by the Legion of Superheroes (not to be confused with the Justice League, although Swimmer also said they would love to have a storyline for Justice Leaguer Wonder Woman on the show). Regarding the Legion: "It's three superheroes, Saturn Girl, Cosmic Boy and Lightning Lad-although we might not use those names-on a mission from Superman in the future, who sends them back to help make things right."

Episode 8.12: Bulletproof Airdate: January 22, 2009
12/25 - Clark discovers John Jones (guest star Phil Morris) was shot while working as a police officer, so Clark dons the uniform and goes undercover to find the culprit. Meanwhile, Lana confronts Tess and tells her Lex isn't the man she thinks he is. Lana's shocking news forces Tess to reevaluate her position as the head of Luthorcorp. Source: The CW
11/02 - Clark goes undercover as a cop after [Detective] John Jones is shot, hoping to find out what actually happened. His cop alias is "Joe Fordman," which could be a reference to Whitney Fordman from Season 1. The character of police inspector Dan Turpin - who first appeared in Jack Kirby's New Gods comic book series - makes his first Smallville appearance in this episode. Turpin has a 4-year-old son who is emulating the "Red-Blue Blur" that has enthralled Metropolis in recent months. Turpin's cop partner has recently been murdered. Oliver has resumed the role of Green Arrow by this point. Turpin witnesses Clark talking to the Green Arrow and realizes he is not who he says he is. Dr. Emil Hamilton - also a character from comics lore - assists Clark and Oliver to help John Jones and his unique physiology. Note that Dr. STEVEN Hamilton was the "Dr. Hamilton" seen in Smallville's early years. Keep in mind that the presence of Turpin or Dr. Hamilton could be subject to change. Cop sentiment over costumed heroes and vigilantes is rather low. Lana and Oliver are keeping a secret from Clark. Source: KryptonSite

10/12 - Clark and Lana have a dinner date... or is it just two old friends reconnecting? Lana meets Tess in this episode, and the ex-wife vs. devoted follower sparks fly. Erica Durance (Lois), Sam Witwer (Davis), and Aaron Ashmore (Jimmy) do not appear in this episode. Most likely because she is directing Episode #13, Allison Mack's screen time is limited in this episode. This episode involves Clark going undercover to investigate something. Source: KryptonSite

11/08 - Some Luthorcorp experiments are being done involving Lana. Apparently these experiments are what is keeping her alive.

The three series regulars to appear in this episode are Tom Welling (Clark), Allison Mack (Chloe), and Cassidy Freeman (Tess). Source: KryptonSite

12/04 - Clark does, in fact, come out as an E.T. during an interview with Lois. I can also confirm that said revelation causes mass chaos. Source:The Ausiello Files
12/04 - Linda Lake threatens to expose Clark, but Clark decides he's going to reveal the truth about himself - on his own terms - before she gets the chance to. The news media is in a frenzy over the Red-Blue Blur, and they approach Chloe to ask what it's like to be the hero's best friend. They ask what it's been like to keep his secret for so long, which may imply that her memories are returned by this point. Jimmy is transported to Metropolis General, and Chloe refers him as her husband. A teenage admirer fakes a fall so Clark will rescue her. Lois Lane (Erica Durance) returns in this episode. Aaron Ashmore (Jimmy), Cassidy Freeman (Tess), and Justin Hartley (Oliver) do not appear in this episode. Source: KryptonSite
11/11 - Clark is going to reveal his secret identity to the world! Source: Kristin on E!Online
11/10 - Sources confirm that [Tori] Spelling has finalized a deal to return to Smallville as Daily Planet's incredibly liquefying gossip columnist Linda Lake. Source:The Ausiello Files
12/12 - Aaron Ashmore returns in this episode as Jimmy Olsen, but Erica Durance (Lois) and Justin Hartley (Oliver) do not appear. "Turbulence" as a title refers to interactions between Clark and Tess on Oliver's jet as well as turbulence associated with Jimmy's return from his coma. Tess takes Clark out of town with her to an important press conference in another city. Clark tries to find out from Tess how much Lex had actually told her about him. Jimmy reacts violently seeing Davis and has an angry outburst towards Chloe. Davis visits a cathedral where he confesses that he has hurt people that he cares about. Source: KryptonSite
Episode 8.17: Hex Airdate: February-April 2009
12/18 - In one scene, Clark stares lovingly into Chloe's eyes, but only because he thinks it's Lois. It's at that moment that Chloe learns how hard Clark has fallen for Lois. Source:The Ausiello Files
12/12 - The episode's guest is a character named "Cassie" whose father taught her about sorcery before he passed away. We're wondering if "Cassie" might be a substitute name for the DC Comics magician character Zatanna, much like "Melissa" was substituted for "Maxima" in initial leaks. Many Silver Age DC Comic books told the tale of Zatanna looking for her father, Zatara. Interesting trivia: Zatara first appeared in the same comic book that introduced Superman - Action Comics #1! Cassie tries to get Oliver to believe in witchcraft, and comes to him for help. Apparently Lex had obtained an item before he disappeared that she would like to obtain. She offers to give Oliver his "deepest desire" if he helps her. This episode puts a spin on the "Chlois theory" as a magic spell turns Chloe into Lois... literally. Cassidy Freeman (Tess) and Sam Witwer (Davis) do not appear in this episode. Source: KryptonSite
