It is 3 months later since we left Smallville in that �Godfather� like ending.

We first head to Egypt close to the Pyramids of Giza where men are working in a 50x50 pit We see a �shield-shape chamber.� An Egyptian worker is screaming in Arabic that he found something. We see a statue of the Egyptian sun god RA, which has the body of a man head of a falcon. The figurine is made of gold and lapis-lazuli.

The workers then start chanting �God is great!� as they hold up their shovel and tools. The Egyptian worker clutches the figurine and heads to a large tent. He drops to his knees and later bows when a man in white suits comes out of the tent.

Lex Luthor is alive and is apparently in Egypt. He meets up his Egyptian driver, Tariq, and gives him a brick of $100 bills saying �I don�t want any record that I was her. Bury everything.�

We then see Lex is lying in filtration chamber which is a high tech sarcophagus at the rear cabin of a jet plane.

The captain tells a Dr. Gabrielle Vaughan to buckle up as turbulence is on the horizon. As they are weathering the storm, the co-pilot notices something in the radar. The captain at one point says, �What is it? A bird or plane?�

Lois Lane, described as a sophisticated young woman, is driving in a car at night. She passes through fields of corn and there are storm clouds overhead. She uses the �On Star� feature in her car because she is �totally lost�. She stops when she sees a bolt of lightning ahead from the heavens.

Lois takes Clark to the hospital to have him checked out. She thinks he got hit by lightning. The admissions clerk tells Lois to fill out some forms. She then says, �Slight problem. I don�t know who he is and neither does he. He�s got amnesia. So I�m turning him over to you.� Clark is naked except for a red blanket draped over his shoulders. As Lois and the clerk continue arguing, Clark looks at his own reflection from a window. While he touches his face, the blanket slips off and an old women gasps in shock over naked Clark. Lois sarcastically says that they need to get him a rope first.

Jonathan is lying in a hospital bed that is attached to monitors. Martha is at his bedside reading aloud to him from a book.

After Lex�s conversation with Tariq, he is late for an arranged meeting with Dr. Gabrielle Vaughn. Lex says, �I�m well aware of my tardiness, Doctor � But some things are worth the risk.�

In the empty halls of Smallville High, there�s a voice we hear coming from the Torch office. The voice belongs to Chloe but she is off-screen. She says, �I don't know where to start. I'm sure you must have a million questions, but I don�t know how many answers I can give you�" The camera then reveals that someone is sitting in front of the computer watching Chloe�s taped message on video. Chloe�s voice continues with, "please find out who did this Clark, you're the only one who can." The image then freeze frames.

It seems Lana and Jason are on a little adventure of their own. Jason slips someone at a desk the twenty euros (which coverts to about $24 USD if you�re wondering). Jason puts his finger on Lana�s lips and then pecks her on the cheek.

There�s a scene where Lana is looking at a scroll of black paper. Her curiosity grows when the Shield comes into view. She places her finger across the etchings and suddenly there�s a flash of wind and light.

The artifact that was found in the teaser is engraved with Kryptonian symbols.

Jason is upset and angry that Lana is leaving him as she says �I thought leaving Smallville would give me the answers I�ve been looking for. Now I think they were there all along.� Lana continues to say that this is something she has to do and �Haven�t you ever felt you were destined for something you had no control over?� Jason responds sadly �Yes, that�s the way I felt when I met you.� Jason then looks at Lana�s beautiful face and heads for the door.

Lana seems confused. She looks at a mirror, pulls off her shirt and stares at "THE TATTOO on her naked back." She then looks on the wall at a brass rubbing. The camera zooms close-up on the "warrior princess� shield".

Next, the scene cuts to the SHIELD mounted on an ancient wall in a chamber at night illuminated with candles. Eight men in red hooded cloaks surround a table while the Seer reveals saying, "It has begun."

In the Lois/Clark hospital scene we mentioned from earlier spoilers , Lois does a little product placement by pulling out �Nicorette� from her purse. She started smoking when she was 15 as an act of rebellion against her father. She�s given up smoking but has a �gum addiction�. Clark responds by saying �You talk a lot.�

Clark tries leaving the hospital and says he�s not supposed to be here. Lois blocks his way. Clark then grabs her shoulders, picks her up, and moves her out of the doorway.

Martha is walking down a hospital corridor after visiting Jonathan and is stunned to see Clark. She drops her purse and races to hug him. �Clark! It is you. I thought I�d lost you forever.� Clark remains stiff and says �Who are you? I don�t know you.� Lois says not to take it personally and that he doesn�t even know his own name.

�Jensen Ackles has been added to the cast of the WB Network drama "Smallville" as a regular. He will play the stubbornly independent heir to a rich Metropolis financial firm who becomes romanticall
Affiliatesy involved with Lana Lang (Kristin Kreuk).�
