Season 5-Episode 12 RECKONING

I have been re-watching the season 5 of Smallville and it is one of my fave seasons, I also adore the episode where Clark proposes to Lana after telling her his identity it is so beautiful. I am so happy for them and you have such hope and then it all goes so badly as she says yes and then gets killed in a car accident after telling Lex to repay the debt of bringing Clark back and restoring his powers.

I could not resist a proposal like that ever, from a man like Clark, so handsome, sweet and romantic. It is sad that he has had to keep secrets from her and lie to her and then lose her like that when he cares for with all of his heart. I like this scene in that he does the smart thing and his honest about his life and feelings with her and she sees the true Clark. I understand in some way why he did not tell her he wanted to protect her, etc. but then doing the day over and not telling her truth was not the right choice to make. Also if he would listen more to the warnings he would not have lost his powers and be brought back with an exchange of a loved ones life.

I also love this episode and scene because Clark the man of steel opens up and allows himself to be vulnerable which is a rare occurrence but so wonderful. It goes down hill from there as he goes to Krypton and gets a crystal that allows him to relive the day and saves Lana from getting hit by the bus but he also warned that fate has to find a balance and another life will be exchanged for hers and yet again he does not listen to the warning. He saves Lana but then his father has a heart attack. This episode is so moving as I have lost my father as well and know the pain of losing a parent and the void that you feel when they are gone. God and the love of friends and family helps you through but it is the hardest thing.

I miss Johnathon Kent..we will remember you always.

The end of the episode is sad with the funeral and the pain that Clark and Martha have to go through it makes me cry everytime.
