In this week’s episode of Going Back to Smallville, we’re diving into one of the most baffling hours of the entire series. From weird plot choices to character decisions that made us yell at the screen, this one had it all — and not in a good way. But somewhere under the chaos, there’s still heart, Kryptonian drama, and that unmistakable early-2000s CW charm. Let’s unpack what went wrong, what still works, and why Kara Zor-El deserved way more than this.
