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..
