Clark has emerged from his darkest hour, only to find the path to his destiny blocked by ghosts from the past -- shadows in the present tempting Clark toward the darkness at every turn. Despite insurmountable odds, is Clark strong enough to step into the light and claim his rightful place as Earth's mightiest protector?
Clark prevented the deaths of thousands, if not millions of humans by using the Kryptonian Book of Rao to stop the attack. The spiritual tome opened a gateway to another world, one where Clark's people could exist in peace. One-by-one, every Kryptonian on Earth was propelled across the universe, but as Clark prepared for his "ascension," Zod refused to leave.
Using a blue Kryptonite dagger to make himself human and avoid being sucked into space, Zod remained behind so that he could rule a world without its guardian, Clark Kent. Having no other option to rid the world of Zod's tyranny, Clark plunged the dagger into his own abdomen, protecting himself from ascension -- and exiling Zod in the process.
Though victorious, Clark's win was bittersweet as he plummeted off the building and into the darkness below. After a fateful kiss, Lois Lane Erica Durance realized that the two men she had been torn between all season -- Clark Kent and Metropolis' heroic Blur -- were one and the same.
Chloe was forced to painfully listen as the love of her life, Oliver, was abducted by mysterious assailants during his attempt to help Clark defeat Zod's Army. And Tess Mercer Cassidy Freeman , heir to the late Lex Luthor empire and double agent for the now-defunct government organization Checkmate, was fatally burned at Zod's hand in an attempt to right past wrongs.
As Tess flatlined in Metropolis General Hospital, she was visited by a shrouded, elderly woman. He entombs the Superman suit in crystal as a prize for Clark to obtain. Unfortunately, it felt as if Jor-El was taunting the audience as well. Showing the viewers what they can't have. With Martha busy and Chloe gone for the majority of the season, it was up to Lois Lane to ensure Clark kept his focus. Establishing that Lois knew Clark's secret early on gave the series a different dynamic we hadn't quite seen before.
Having Clark finally tell Lois the truth allowed the two characters to immediately overcome many of the obstacles they had been facing, giving the writers a chance to grow beyond what we had seen with Lana Lang. Lois and Clark now stood on equal footing. The witty and always well written banter between the two improved and Lois became Clark's shining light during his darkest hours.
Take away all the disappointing villain story arcs and the relationship between Lois and Clark still make this season one of the best. Tess Mercer's story arc was one of the biggest surprises this season. Establishing her relationship to the Luthor family created an entirely different spin on her character. Tess' storyline had been frustrating to watch over the past couple of years as it seemed she was unsure whether or not she wanted to be a hero or a villain.
This season she sides with Clark and the gang while also setting out on a few very insightful storylines of her own that bring a lot of depth to her character. Her relationship with young Alexander Luthor brought about a motherly instinct to the character that I didn't quite expect. The surprise twist about Tess' past developed into an interesting internal struggle that the character had to overcome.
Oliver Queen's relationship with Chloe evolved but other than that he didn't develop much over the course of the year. His Omega Symbol story arc provided a little more for him at the end of the season, but for the most part, Ollie wasn't given that much to do.
While Darkseid's storyline didn't deliver like we had hoped, Smallville: Season 10 still provided plenty of good entertainment. At the heart of the story was Lois and Clark's relationship as they both set out to take that important next step in their lives.
The backbone of Smallville has always been the relationships that Clark has built. Whether that relationship be with his father or with Lex Luthor, Clark's development into Superman has been defined over the course of ten years by those around him. Those relationships continued into Season 10 and gave the final chapter of Clark's story a strong and exciting conclusion.
