- Title: Smallville – Hourglass
- wiki: link
Smallville Saturday takes us back to another episode of the series where those changed by meteor rock will affect Clark‘s (Tom Welling) life. While volunteering at the Smallville Retirement Center, Clark, Pete (Sam Jones III), and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) meet a pair of interesting people in Cassandra Carver (Jackie Burroughs), a woman who can see the future and foretells the death of someone close to Clark, and Harry Volk (George Murdock and Eric Christian Olsen) a murderer who is transformed into his younger self by the meteor-filled pond on the grounds and begins targeting the descendants of the jury who convicted him… including one named Kent.
Clark spends half the time worrying about the future, which only worsens after he gets his own glimpse of one of Cassandra’s visions outliving everyone he loves, and the other half looking into the new spree of murders which start after Harry disappears from the retirement center. A final vision from Cassandra foreshadows Clark’s destiny of saving people which begins with saving one of Harry’s intended victims (Lisa Calder). The episode is notable for Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) sharing his obsession about the day he almost died with Clark and giving Cassandra a glimpse of his own dark future (a major aspect of which will play out in the show’s continuity) which turns out to be her final vision (and proves her first vision to Clark correct as someone close to him does indeed die before the episode ends).
