In this week’s Going Back to Smallville rewatch, we reach one of the most shocking and emotional turning points in the entire series: the day Lionel Luthor falls, and Lex takes a step he can never undo. We break down every twist of the episode, from Clark discovering Lionel’s final Kryptonian message to Lex’s haunting visions of his younger self. Was this always Lex’s destiny, or could things have been different? Join us as we revisit the heartbreak, betrayal, and legacy that changed Smallville forever.
