More despair as Chloe and Jimmy's wedding draws nearer. Chloe cannot elude the BrainIAC. Despite using the knowledge he had been encoding in her to the advantage of herself and Clark, BrainIAC begins to infuse her with Kryptonian knowledge and a loss of memory of those closest to her. When the memory is limited to Clark and then Davis Bloome, she wonders inside if each man means more to her than Jimmy, not realizing that it's because BrainIAC programmed it that way to confuse her. Clark has no option but to use the crystal he had mysteriously had re-sent to him to rebuild the Fortress of Solitude and plea for the help of Jor-El. For the first time in his life, Clark calls Jor-El his father, gains trust in him, and is grateful for the help Jor-El uses to pry the soul and essence of BrainIAC out of Chloe. However, Chloe cannot remember Clark's secret any longer. Only at the end, as the Fortress becomes infused with blackness, that BrainIAC's day may not yet be over. A great episode to establish the family relationship between Clark and Jor-El. This dynamic of the episode was by far the greatest aspect of the show for me. It would have been nice to see more of how the Fortress was re-built.
