Quotes:

Zod: Do you really think Zod cares what a primitive like you believes?
Lana Lang: If Lex is really dead, then why waste your time with a primitive like me?
Zod: To bear witness the end of the human era and the re-birth of Krypton?
Lana Lang: Krypton?
Zod: A shining jewel in a vast, dark universe. And you have the privilege of playing a part in its resurrection.

Welcome to the Phantom Zone

Clark is released on the hostile and inhospitable Phantom Zone, attacked by flying ghostly creatures and saved by the former assistant of Jor-el, Raya. She tells that there is a portal where Kal-el can leave the Phantom Zone and Clark believes on her word. Meanwhile, in the chaotic Metropolis, Lionel saves Chloe from the raged crowd, while the city is turning apart due to the powerful Kryptoninan computer virus unleashed by Fine. Martha awakes near the Fortress of Solitude and Kal-el tells her that she must use the dagger he gave to Clark and destroy Lex to save Earth. Lana believes Lex had gone and offers to stab Lex/Zod with the dagger.

The conclusion of the last episode of Season Five is excellent, with all the situations being satisfactorily resolved. The original concept of the Phantom Zone is great, but in my opinion it was very easy to Clark to lure the powerful Zod. Like in other episodes, there are no consequences to the chaos on Earth and no further investigations from the authorities on what might have happened in the planet. My vote is nine.
