'Smallville' Episode Description and Spoilers for 4-17-08 - Descent

"Descent"

For months, there have been reports that a major character will die before the season is over. I'm now hearing that the death happens in this episode! Any guesses? My money's on Lionel.

The secret of Veritas is the catalyst in the death of this major character. It will also set the stage for a major fight between Lex and Clark.

Chloe's quest to uncover Lex's terrible misdeeds is heightened when he fires her from The Daily Planet.

As the season continues, Lex gets closer to discover Clark's secret.
