This weeks’ episode of Smallville titled “Abandoned,” had a strong emotional familial message when Lois (Erica Durance) found and watched video tapes of her mother, Ella, who had died of cancer. Her mom was played by Teri Hatcher and to see the woman talking to her daugher across the years via video brought to light an aspect of life when people have lost their parents at an early age and live with at hole in their hearts. It was touching.
Lois was then sparked to help Clark (Tom Welling) touch base with his own digital father in the fortress of solitude. She ticked him off at first but then later it/the fortress/Jor-El played a message from his real parents to Clark, played by Julian Sands and Helen Slater.

First off, we get to see Emilie Ullerup on Smallville, playing Cat Grant in Friday’s episode. This will be her first TV appearance since her demise on Syfy’s Sanctuary.
2nd, we’ve got big things coming our way Friday… with the much anticipated … well wait,
3rd, I’ve got a first look pic at Julian Sands portraying Jor-El later this season. I’d usually stick a 2nd pic in after the break, but for those who are avoiding any kind of spoilers, I thought I’d stuff it in here:

Before I go any further, I need to say this season has been going like gang busters with all kinds of characters gracing the “pages” of Smallville. If I didn’t know any better, I’d say they were parading as many DC characters as possible across the screen before the end of the series. That’s what I would do if I thought the end was near. But keep in mind, episodes are written and filmed long before ratings are recognized… and you can’t blame them for taking this approach… if that was what they were doing.
But is it really the last season Smallville? Hang on. More on that later.
After the break, there may be what’s considered light Smallville spoilers so if you don’t like having the surprise taken from your experience, or you’re a time-shifted viewer (DVR junkie!) then you may want to hold off on the rest of this article after the break.
You’ve been warned!
