Much darker events have happened than they did in Progeny but, from my point of view, this was one of the darkest episodes of SV ever. Superficially, part of my reaction is due to Clark's flat-affect/pained support of Chloe and Chloe's hair being darker and her looking more mature.

Everything always feels inevitable on SV but in this episode it all felt ominous to the nth degree. *fears*

I want to hug all the characters now (except Lex who gets put in the corner for badbadbadness). And I think I may need a hug too. LOL!
