SMALLVILLE: "DOOMSDAY"
The CW has released eight images from "Doomsday," the Season 8 finale of Smallville scheduled to air on Thursday, May 14.
Here's how the network describes the episode:
"Oliver (Justin Hartley) tells Clark (Tom Welling) he must kill Davis (Sam Witwer), as Doomsday is a serious threat and must be stopped at all costs. However, Clark struggles with taking a human life, so the Green Arrow and his team decide to take matters into their own hands. Lois (Erica Durance) takes on Tess (Cassidy Freeman), but the fight takes a shocking turn. Meanwhile, Chloe (Allison Mack) gets caught in the middle of Oliver and Clarkıs battle over killing Davis."
"Doomsday" was written by Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders and was directed by James Marshall.
