I did not see the episode last night (way too stressed). But I did caught the last minute or two. I am getting sick of the producers putting Clark Kent so naive to the point of being idiotic. That's NOT how the real character is and after 9 seasons the whole thing is getting TOO old to see Clark Kent not changing in the least to become Superman.
What I hate the most about Smallville is this one specific thing:
Clarke does not know how to fly and uses his powers in a child-like manner - we are even shown where he takes time to learn and develop each ability, but the moment someone inherits Clarke's powers (like Zod) they instantly can fly and have mastered every art in a second.
Smallville Season 9 Episode 15 - Clark and Lois head out of town for a quiet romantic getaway, but their plans are thwarted when they run into Chloe and Oliver at their Bed & Breakfast Inn. The couples" awkward moment is interrupted by the arrival of the Silver Banshee, who sets her sights on Clark and Oliver. Meanwhile, Tess faces off with Zod with a surprising result.

Smallville Season 9 Episode 16 - Tess creates an elaborate hoax in order to kidnap Green Arrow and delivers him to Amanda Waller, who tells him that that the government is recruiting him to serve his country. However, Green Arrow escapes before they can reveal his identity. After Oliver brings Clark and Chloe up to speed, the three investigate and Clark is surprised to find John Jones Morris) investigating Oliver's kidnapping too. Clark senses that John is keeping information from him. Oliver and Clark are shocked when Tess reveals that Amanda is after something called "Watchtower." Waller threatens to kill Chloe unless Clark gives her the names and locations of the rest of the Justice League.
Smallville Season 9 Episode 17 - Zod continues to pose as "The Blur" and asks Lois to investigate one of Tess" secret labs. An explosion rocks the lab, and Lois is rescued by John Corben who was a subject of multiple experiments. While investigating the explosion, Clark is exposed to red kryptonite. And infected Clark takes Zod to the Fortress. Tess turns to Chloe for help and they send in Corben to stop Clark from revealing all his secrets.
Episode 15 was a joke. Episode 16 was a little more involved but Episode 17 really shows you how naive and stupid Clarke can be at times. Ironically he did many things to try and stop Zod from gaining power from converting a red sun and instead actually gives Zod his powers. Zod in turn seeks to give his followers the powers.
