You both make some really interesting points. I hope your analogy does work out, Wayne, and that "SV" is just going through a rough patch that will resolve itself eventually.

I feel cheated, too, by not seeing the Kents discuss what happened. It was kind of a major event in their lives!! And I was really ticked off -- as I'm sure you'll be surprised to hear -- that Martha's heroism was praised in "Crusade" and Jonathan's was not even mentioned. She deserved it, but so did he!

The only explanation I can think of is that they're doing something like last year, when the events of "Exodus" and "Exile" weren't really discussed by the family until much later on, in episodes like "Vortex" and "Legacy," when discussing them helped move the plot along. Now I don't necessarily think that's the best way to handle these things, but it's better than not handling them at all! So I hope that's what's happening.

The Scene: Smallville General Store

Fade in...

Farmers are sitting around, discussing the year's harvest, the Crows' football season, etc. Jonathan walks in and everyone shuts up.

Jonathan: "Hey, Zeke. I just came by to pick up this week's supplies and pay on my bill."

Zeke (the store's propriator): "No problem, Jon, let me get your bill. How're you doin'? Haven't seen you around much since you got outta the hospital. That boy of yours doing good?"

Jonathan: "Yeah, Clark's doing alright."

Farmer #1: "What happened to him this summer? I heard he ran off again?"

Farmer #2: "Yeah, gossip 'round town was he had something ta do wit you bein' laid up."

Jonathan: "Uh, no. Clark didn't run off. He - uhm - went to - summer camp this year. Y'know, one of those three month long deals."

Zeke: "Summer camp? Well, that's a good thing. Teach the boy some independence. Bet he was ready to come home after being away for so long."

Jonathan: "Yeah, you could say that."

Farmer #2: "I heard he showed up buck naked at the hospital and no memory of who he was. You sure he was at camp, Jon?"

Jonathan (looming over the shorter man): "You calling me a liar?"

Farmer #2: "N-no, Jon, we was jus' curious, tha-that's all."

Jonathan (looking around the room): "You boy's just remember what curiousity did to the cat, got me."

With that, Jonathan storms out, his packages in arm.

Farmer #1: "Drugs."

Zeke: "Yep. No doubt about it. That boy got mixed up with drugs and they sent him off to get cleaned up."

Farmer #2 (looking out the windows as Jonathan leaves): "Y-yep."

Fade out...


There you go. See, in a small town like Smallville, some things don't need to be explained.

I thought the actress who played Abby's surgeon was Pamela Stephenson from Superman III. Really did look like her.
