SMALLVILLE: "SUPERGIRL"

The CW has released a gallery of images from "Supergirl," the Friday, Oct. 8 episode of Smallville.

Here's how the network describes the episode:

"Clark (Tom Welling) is stunned when Kara (guest star Laura Vandervoort) returns to Earth and tells him Jor El sent her to stop the dark force that is coming because he doesn't believe Clark can handle it. Meanwhile, Lois (Erica Durance) confronts Gordon Godfrey (guest star Michael Daingerfield), a shock jock radio DJ who has been crusading against heroes, after he threatens the Green Arrow (Justin Hartley). However, after Godfrey is possessed by the dark force, he takes Lois hostage and Clark and Kara have to come to her rescue."

The CW Connect recently conducted a question-and-answer with Vandervoort, who provided hints about the episode. To view the video, CLICK HERE.

In other Smallville news, the network has released a description from "Homecoming," the series' 200th episode scheduled to air on Friday, Oct. 15.

Here's how the network describes the episode:

"In an attempt to cheer up Clark (Tom Welling), Lois (Erica Durance) convinces him to attend their five-year high school reunion. A visit back to the home of the Crows has Clark remembering old times with Lana (Kristin Kreuk) and Chloe (Allison Mack), while Lois is furious that no one remembers her five days as a student. Brainiac 5.0 (James Marsters) uses his Legion ring to visit from the future and takes Clark through his past, present and future. He shows Clark what really happened the night Jonathan died, Oliver's (Justin Hartley) current pain and Clark's future at the Daily Planet with Lois and his role as Earth's favorite red and blue superhero."

Vowing to retire from the security business, Chance is lured back to work by billionaire philanthropist Ilsa Pucci (new series regular Indira Varma), who needs his protection after the mysterious murder of her husband. While on assignment, the team encounters Ames (new cast member Janet Montgomery), a beautiful, chameleon-like thief who has a past connection to Winston."
