Lex reaches out to the Kents, Clark gets a date with Lana and Chloe picks the wrong guy (which will happen many times).
The Good: Like most of the season so far this was an episode with some great character moments. I liked the subplot involving Lex trying to help the Kents with their financial problems. It further illustrated the unlikely friendship that has developed between two guys from very different upbringings. There was a great scene where Lex urged Clark to ask Lana out that I felt perfectly characterized their early friendship and makes their eventual falling out even more sad. I loved how Clark didn't hesitate when he heard about Sean Kelvin, it really shows what kind of man Clark is. An extremely selfless one. I really liked that they showed the effect of Jenna's death at the end with the memorial. To many times it seems like people die and no one cares anymore.
The Bad: Again I did not like this episodes villain. The best out of these early villains was definitely bug boy. Sean Kelvin's origin is extremely lame and far fetched. Yeah I know it's Smallville but I couldn't help but role my eyes. Oh yeah I hated Whitney again (no surprise). Though I did feel bad for the guy. I mean that was the second truck he lost within five episodes.
Memories: I originally watched this episode at night and I was scared of Sean. Which I find completely ridiculous now.
Final Random Thoughts: This episode continues the trend of lame villains. Weird considering Smallville's villains are some of the best later on (Lionel, Lex, Zod, Bizarro, Brainiac, Toyman) , ect.)
