This is a cracking episode. Lots of drama, plenty of action, and Clark leaping tall buildings in a single bound, literally. It is supremely entertaining.
Also, it is revealed that Lionel has information on Clark and might know more than he is letting on.
Jitters, an episode of Smallville from the first season, ended with a very emotional scene in which Clark is reunited with his parents after a hostage situation, while Lex is left with his father who's display of affection is merely for the benefit of the press. This episode ends in an almost identical way, with one exception. This time Lex all but cuts himself off from his father. There is no show of affection, not even for the sake of publicity. It shows how the character has grown over the past year. It's not that he doesn't want loving parents. He still wishes he had what Clark has with his parents. But, at this point, he has ceased to look for it in his own father. He has accepted it and there is something very sad about that.
Insurgence is not only one of the best episodes of season 2 but simply one of the best episodes of Smallville.
10/10
