Very quick recap of what's happened for the season finale of Smallville:
Brainiac returns to Earth disguised as Kara
He kills the last member of Veritas

Lois opens Clark the idea of taking Chloe's job (after being fired by Lex) at the Daily Planet


Brainiac rushes to Lex' for the orb (that could supposedly control the Traveler ie, Clark)
He couldn't..
He informs Lex of the the Fortress (where he needs to use the orb)

Clark and Chloe plot of taking down Kara (thinking she wasn't herself)
Chloe hovers a kryptonite to Kara only to find out she (or he) was in fact
Brainiac fries Chloe's brain.

Chloe goes into coma

Clark goes after Brainiac and kills him



With Brainiac dead, Lana and Chloe regained consciousness
Lana bids goodbye to Clark (this time I think it's for good)

Lois picks up pieces of Clark's shattered heart.

Jimmy proposes to Chloe

Chloe gets arrested by the Feds

Lex uses the orb

Clark falls down to his knees


Fortress crumbles

The fortress (or what's left of it)

The end..
