I think his wife definitely set him up, but you know that Lionel's hands have to be all over this. I wonder what will happen to Lex.
Obviously, he has to survive the crash. Do you think that it'll be a quick story line where a search and rescue plane picks him up in the first or second episode, or do you think that this will drag on? Kinda coincidental that Papa Kent just gave him a compass, 'eh?
I'm not all that interested in the other story lines, to tell you the truth. I could care less about what happens with Chloe. Martha and Johnathan will take the highground as usual and forgive Clark. Lana will wait for Clark to return, and then deny him as usual.
I am worried about Pete though. Pete will be lost, searching for another superhero to play sidekick to.
