'Tis the beginning of the great Lana awakening

[xrayvision]

Finally!! Lana is at last starting the long awakening process. What Clark told her about Lex and what he said in Vessel started it. Lex pulling the gun on Clark added to it. I love that scene with her looking at the bent farm tool (looked like a scapula). Too bad that wasn't the cliffhanger ending of the winter break episode.

And I really wonder what Lex has in store for Lana and her pregnancy. Maybe he's using kryptonite to speed things up starting now.

[SmallvilleMan]

Yeaaaaa and next episode sure is going to speed along that awakening. Although I have a feeling they will screw it up.

[SuperFan85]

I think, in my opinion, this season had the best continuity (reference wise) than most of the seasons. I love Clark referenced Lex's "true colors" speech in the barn from the episode Vessel in Season 5.

[xrayvision]

The funny thing is, Lex has no idea how he knows that since he doesn't remember the events from Vessel.

[Charissa70]

I don't know, Lana can be clueless and I have a feeling the knife will be explained away-hit a shovel, a wall, something. Atthe end of next week's show, I am sure clark, chloe, will show her how the knife could have bent. She will be suspicious, but not have anything.

[xrayvision]

I don't think she will tell anyone. I think at this point she knows that even if she brought it to Chloe and said "Explain this" she knows that Chloe will make up some BS story. I think she will keep that to herself since nobody else knows about it and continue to dig.

I wonder if Clark will need to use that scoopula/carving tool and notice that it's missing inventory and wonder if Lex or Lana took it? Nah, that would be way too much continuity on their part.

there are prolly hundreds of tools in that barn. i doubt clark will notice it missing.

Clark: Good sweet god! Wheres the wood Chisel! anything but the wood chisel!


But in all seriouslness, the writers are probably gonna end this two episodes from now when Clark sais to Lana something like "I dont have a secret. Please just trust me" and Lana agreees and never brings it up again.

[SmallvilleMan]

No, the preview next week, I think made it clear that this won't be brushed away by Clark.

[xrayvision]

Did Chloe nod when Lana asked her if she could at least acknowledge that Clark does have a secret? I wonder why Lana would even have to ask such a question. It's obvious.

I dont know about that,it was clear Lex jabbed him right in the side with the tool.But you have a point about the outcome,she will not find out his secret.

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

Heck I break chisels on my rock hard abs and my granite like buttocks all the time, just for fun.
It was no big deal, Lana will just figure Clark has been doing one of those "abs/buns/name your body part of steel workout tapes.

I wonder if Martha or Clark will stage or fake a hospital visit to slow down Lana's awakening process.

[zainu_q]

If anyone knows the story according to the comics, this time is for real... and soon Lana will find out for sure, and Clark will find out and thats it. Lana was originally supposed to find out anyway.

I'd prefer it if Lana were going to sleep... forever.

[xrayvision]

I think there are 2 very important steps that should follow in the next few episodes:

1. Lana should find that obsession room that Lex created about Clark & the Kents. This could also show Lana more about Lex's true nature and what he would do if he found out Clark's secret (especially if he found Lana prowling in that room). I elaborated more about this in the following post:

http://www.kryptonsite.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=2789277#post2789277

2. Lana needs to find out about Metropolis United Charities and how Clark's adoption was fake and set up by Lionel. This also creates good possibilities if done right for Lex killing Lionel if he finds out that Lionel was involved. I made a thread about this in the Speculation forum and added another item I would like to see in season 6 to the "Season 5: What Worked, What Didn't What would you like to see in season 6" thread:

I just thought of this:

In Oracle, we saw Clark get a journal. Though onscreen he hasn't been shown writing things in there, he could very well be writing things offscreen. Maybe he wrote some stuff that Lex did such as most likely being involved in Dr. Pamela Black's murder in Rage, Lex's history with Duncan, and most importantly the events of Reckoning and how he proposed to Lana and how she died because of Lex (this entry would either have to have been made months after it happened since he got the journal months later, or something that happened to him since Oracle that made him think about the events of Reckoning could have made Clark write about it---like the day Clark found out Lex was engaged to Lana causing him to write what happened when he proposed to her and how he had to give her up). I think this is a biggie and it could be the only mechanism to reveal stuff that only Clark knows and there is no other proof of for Lana to find out so she can understand Lex's true nature. To me, it would be fitting that she find the journal in the next episode because from both the title and the preview, it seems like she will be trespassing in the loft and access to it shouldn't be hard.

I'm also wondering if the video seen in Cyborg of the events in Lockdown still exists. It would be cool for her to see that, but after she finds out about the superspeed.

[SmallvilleMan]

Good thoughts, although I think Lana found any of that there would no wedding. ESPECIALLY if she found the reckoning one.

[xrayvision]

Well, there doesn't have to be a wedding. I think it will end before there is a wedding. I'm not interested in spoilers, so don't tell me if you already know one way or the other.

[SmallvilleMan]

Ok, let me just say I hope she does find that journal.

[Lexcorp331]

scapula = a bone

spatula = what you are talking about.

[TheSupaMan]

You know, the funny thing about that tool is...How does she know that it wasn't already bent?

[Bosrudorfer]

Has no one seen the directors cut for Trepass? Search Youtube and they have a 4min cut. Clark has the wood tool and bends it back to regular form... Lex also invites him to the wedding and after comments on how Clark lost the most important thing in his life {pleasure to Lex}.

[demongene]

A lot of these are great ideas,I hope something like this does happen.She needs to find out,cause the Clana tension stuff is older then dirt!

[xrayvision]

I hope it will be Lana finding out on her own what Lex has done and that Clark won't be able to make it to the wedding (if it's not cancelled before the set day because of Lana finding out sooner). I'm guessing Clark will have to fight some zoners and that they're saving any possible wedding for the finale. Clark has much bigger stuff to do than that wedding.

I'm hoping that as a result of getting so involved in her crusade to uncover Clark's secret, she has a dream which flashbacks of hints of Clark's secret are shown. There was one in Ageless about Clark saying "trust me I know" regarding how bad biological fathers could be. Lana never questioned that, which I find odd. Clark being called Kal at Atlantis (the club from Exile) is another. Maybe the stuff Perry White said at the gorge should also be part of that dream. And definitely the hostage situation in Mortal with Lee talking about the legend of Clark according to the Belle Reve inmates along with Clark saying goodbye to a friend.

Are you kidding me, you just quoted me verbatim as I was looking for my own chisel yesterday.

I love this threads name though, "Tis the beginning of the great Lana awakening"? Makes me think of the Grinch:

"Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
Lana was stirring, for Clark's secret was out!"

On the serious side now, I think people are right in saying Lana is going to finally find out. I mean the way she draped the chisel at the end of the episode in the red cloth shows that she isn't going to just let it be dismissed. Honestly though, who drapes chisels?

[jav]

Lana is so dumb, the one thing that makes me so angry about her is how shes so hard about Clark not being truthful, but before she was "pregnant" she felt the same way towards Lex"lies and blah blah blah" and then decides that shes been focusing on those things and forgot about the way she really felt (ya right...) this woman needs a nice slap in the face, it would be nice if it was a super baby and when it first comes out slaps her in the face making her go flying through a hospital wall and make the jello shatter hahahaha

[Supermansthebest]

Too many people know Clarks secret already!
All the freaks in Bell Reeve know Clark's special, all the people he ever saved know hes got powers, Lionel knows, Pete and Chloe know and now Lana...is anyone gonna be surprised when there is going to be a superman...everyone would be like...yeah its Kent from Smallville.

[Kryptonian-Ronin]

I think its easier to know who DOESN'T know Clark's secret.

[Jetta]

^ At present, among the shows regulars only Lex, Lana and Lois don't know. Though it seems that Lana is about to be removed from that category. I agree with some other people who don't like the idea of Lana finding out simply because it makes future super-smart super-villain Lex look like an idiot for not finding out. I mean how could she find out where he couldn't?

Don't you dare throw logic into Smallville !!

Well, it may be a consolation prize that if it weren't for Lionel in season 3, Lex would know and would probably not have backstabbed Clark. We know his obsession into Clark's secret would have ended had that happened. As long as he didn't have a fear of Clark becoming too powerful and stood aside to let Clark get & unify the stones himself, I think Lex would have ended up a good guy. So having that taken away from him and continuing to feed his thirst for knowledge is what made him an evil SOB.

Another thing is that at this point Lex doesn't care about Clark, which is why he stopped his obsession of Clark, as he says in the director's cut of Trespass. Since Lana hasn't gotten over Clark thanks to the events of Hydro & Crimson, she still wants to find out. Lex in his arrogant evil ways just wrote Clark off as an ordinary farm boy. I think he realized that he spent too much time on that and is now instead focusing on 33.1 and on his motives.

Anyway, going back to Lana, I think it would be great if she fished out those satellite images given to her & shown in Fanatic. My theory has been her astronomy professor, who was really Milton Fine in disguise, gave those to her & planned on eventually exposing Clark's secret in case he needed a distraction. If they bring those photos back and have her find out about the "Clark room" I think she will also find out info that Lex recorded about Eddie Cole, the crop duster Lex & Nixon spoke to in Obscura, and then go to Lionel for help on where to find Cole so she could ask her questions about the ship herself. Between this & having her find out about Clark's bogus adoption through Metropolis United Charities and where he was found by the Kents (if it was documented in the papers), I think she could piece together that Clark arrived during the 1st shower. She did, at the end of Fanatic, ask what if a ship also landed during the 1st shower after seeing an object that was not a meteor in the photos. That may be the smartest way they could do it.

But as I said before---it all comes down to finding that Clark room in the mansion. Finding it & destroying it would be a very noble thing for Lana to do and knowing how Lionel still does stuff behind Lex's back & provides alibis for Clark (Justice), he would probably help her out in destroying what is in that room, which I guarantee is still there.

[xrayvision]

I'm also wondering if Lana will find the octagonal key if she breaks into the loft as shown in the preview. Now that would be a dead giveaway. Lana in the current SV timeline (excludes Reckoning 1st timeline) has never seen that key before. The bad thing is if she brings it back to the mansion and Lex finds it. Or if she takes a picture of it and Lex wonders where the hell she found it.

[Jetta]

There is a big problem with Lana and the octagonal key. If she justs finds it, it doesn't mean much. I don't recall Lana ever knowing about the key they way she (as in Isabel) knew about the stones. If she does get it and uses it, then there is a huge problem. The teleportation of the caves is one way. So she would be in the artic with no way to return and probably vastly undressed, since she wouldn't know where the caves would send her. The only way she could get back would be if Clark finds out the key is gone immediately when she uses it and happens to see her on his way to the Fortress (which is too convenient). Other than than, she would need Jor-El to rescue her, but why would he, and at this point could he? Fallout showed that the Fortress was powered up, but that doesn't necessarily mean its up and running, maybe Clark's presence is required before its fully operational, but regardless Jor-El really wouldn't have a reason to save Lana. He helped Martha and Lois in Zod because of gratitude for her raising Clark, and so that she could carry through on the plan to kill Zod.
