Chloe starts having severe memory problems which I’m sure has nothing to Brainiac jacking into her brain last season and that means she’ll trust anyone right now—even crazy Davis.
Meanwhile, Clark turns to Jor El for assistance because we all know that shady bastard has been a blast to work with in the past.
The Random:
1. Davis is the only EMT I’ve ever seen that spends more time in the hospital, and at the Talon—which, by the way, who's really running these days, anyway?—wandering around than actually out in the field.
2. When your Brainiac memories keep repeating the word “doom” over and over again, you might need to see a doctor. Just a bit of advice.
3. We know Davis isn’t destined to be the good guy of this story, but his love for Chloe at least let him get her somewhere safe and back to Clark and Jimmy. Of course, his good will kind of loses the luster when he tries to convince Chloe she should leave Jimmy for him.

| I don’t think there’s ever been a time in history where a repeated mantra of “doom” was a good thing. |
The Awesome:
1. Chloe’s memory dumps are like something out of a sci-fi/horror hybrid, and it’s both creepy and sad at the same time as Alison Mack does a great job of selling the fear and uncertainty. It’s complete and total mental chaos with friends and events being literally ripped from her mind. Well played, Brainiac.
2. Clark finally reestablishes the Fortress and confronts Jor El and lays it all out to him: knock this tough love crap off, get off your disembodied ass, and help me save this planet. My dad and I had pretty much the same talk in middle school.
3. Just when you thought Clark was ahead of the game for a change, the Fortress winds up getting taken over by Brainiac and we all get to hear the warning about the fall of the House of El: Doomsday is coming.

Extreme Makeover: Fortress Edition left Kal a bit wanting…

The WTF?!:
1. While it’s awesome that the Fortress has been rebuilt, where’s Tess in all of this? Wasn’t she supposed to be watching that site like a hawk for any clues about Lex disappearing? You’d think a gigantic ice castle popping up in the middle of the arctic would at least elicit some sort of red flag on her computers.
2. The Metropolis University Hospital is no better than Smallville General apparently, as Chloe’s MRI results in her having near total amnesia and claiming she needs to find Davis and then somehow escaping everyone’s sight even though they realize immediately she’s gone cuckoo for cocoa puffs. There’s got to be a lawsuit about something like that, no?
3. It’s all well and good that Clark wants Chloe to get her memories back sans all of her Kryptonian knowledge, but did anyone realize the slippery slope this entails, namely that her knowledge was what led to her knowing a ton of other things, or what’s going to happen the first time Ollie and the Justice League come knocking and asking about Clark? Hey, Chloe, it’s Oliver, get CK, I think Brainiac’s back. OK, great, but what’s a Brainiac and why would Clark be of any use?

Eh, at least it’s better than the Memory Kiss from Superman II…
