Goofs:

Factual errors: In this episode there is a blood drive for the American red cross, in this episode our characters are only 15, and donating blood. You can't donate until you are 17.

The Attack of the Invisible Being

The teenager Amy Palmer (Azura Skye) has a crush on Lex Luthor. Her mother works in the Luthor's mansion and they live with her brother Jeff Palmer (Kett Turton) in the property. Amy is jealous of Luthor's girlfriend Victoria Hardwick (Kelly Brook), and Luthor and Victoria are attacked by some invisible being. Meanwhile, Lana Lang and Whitney Fordman decide to give a break in their relationship, and Clark gets close to Lana, but when he finds the motives for the attitude of Whitney, he approaches Lana to Whitney again.

"Shimmer" is another good episode of "Smallville". In this episode, the beginning of a romance between Clark Kent and Lana Lang certainly is the greatest attraction. The business advices of Lionel Luther ("Empires are not brought down by outside forces - they are destroyed by weaknesses from within."), some of them based on the "Art of War", are always very interesting. My vote is eight.

Title (Brazil): "O Mistério" ("The Mystery")
