I can't keep up with this meme but fortunately I'd recently capped some scenes from Vessel so thought I would share the Clark with you.
Clark senses something is wrong
At the start of Vessel, an ominous shadow passes over town. The horses and Clark know something is wrong, but he decides to close the barn door.
Clark visits the Fortress
The Fortress tells him he has to destroy the Vessel and gives him a dagger. Here's some advice Fortress: just disable any systems that will release Zod from the Zone! I love how the FOS advocates killing a man for something that he has no responsibility for, when all that will accomplish is having Brainiac go after a new vessel.
Discussing his predicament with Chloe
Chloe comments that things never turn out well when dealing with Jor-El.
If I'm right, I may have to kill Lex
And of course, Lana overhears only that small part of the conversation!
Discussing the situation with Lionel
Lionel's POV is that being a hero means sometimes doing an evil act for the greater good. That POV explains a lot about his actions in S6 and S7, doesn't it?
Sucked into the Phantom Zone
One moment you've come up with what should have been the winning move by using the dagger against Brainiac (the real problem), the next you're refusing to join Zod, and the next minute you're sucked into the Phantom Zone. Smallville never ceases to punish Clark for doing the right thing.
