I really enjoyed this episode quite a bit. I just rewatched it today (for probably the 4th or 5th time), for the Chlarky good moments! There were plenty of them, but the time when Clark asked her to the Spring Formal was perfect. I love how she looked like she was glowing -- I mean, she's naturally radiant, but with the light of the setting sun behind her, and her beaming smile, and then the way Clark practically dances with the pitchfork after she leaves because he's so excited... whew, that's just classic stuff. I also LOVED it when Clark ripped the coffin out of the ground and when Chloe regained consciousness, she practically lunged into his arms, crying, "Clark, it's you! It's always you!" So incredibly romantically awesome... The plot of the episode was a little unusual and the performances of the guest stars were nothing to write home about, but really, the character beats and the Chlark romance are what make it one of my favorite episodes, and most often rewatched ones at that. It also provided good set-up for the season finale, specifically with the octagonal key, Whitney discovering his dad's medals, and all the Clark-Chloe-Lana triangle elements.
