Episode #4-1: "Crusade"

The title of the episode is "Crusade."
 The episode begins "Three months later..." Someone finds something in a shield-shaped chamber in Egypt. Something is found - a statue of the Egyptian sun god Ra. Suddenly, a man steps out, wearing a white suit backlit by the sun.
 Clark and Lois try to get into a hospital, and Lois says "There’s a guy here who needs assistance." She claims he has amnesia so she doesn’t really know who he is. (Shouldn’t the Smallville Medical folks recognize him by now?)
 Clark steps to a window and sees his reflection for what seems like his first time. As he looks, the blanket he’s wearing falls, causing Lois to deadpan that he may need a gown first.
 Lex lies in a filtration chamber on a jet, we assume recovering from the poison. Outside the jet, the captain sees something. "What is it? A bird or a plane?" We don’t know...
 Lex is traveling to Egypt; perhaps having something to do with the teaser scene. He instructs a man named Tariq to hide any evidence of him ever being there.
 The casting pages have certain bits blacked out, but we could swear we see the name "CHLOE" among the blacked-out lines... meaning it seems Chloe may be alive and well, despite the graveside service. If that is indeed Chloe, her scenes take place in the Smallville Torch.
 Clark and Lois first meet as Lois is visiting Chloe’s grave, in a scene that may bring back memories of Clark and Lana’s first real exchange of dialogue in the Smallville pilot episode.
 For some reason plastic flowers are placed instead of real ones.
