Check out a new clip from “Warrior” at EW, which features Clark (Tom Welling) and Lois (Erica Durance). The Allison Mack directed episode airs this Friday at 8/7c.

* Update: Added the clip to the left sidebar, thanks to “Alexaprue2“.

Matt Mitovich with “Fancast” has the latest Smallville scoop. Hope we get some good “Clark” spoilers soon.

It’s so awesome that Martha Kent is coming back to ‘Smallville‘! An Amanda Waller connection maybe? – ClarkLovesLois via Twitter
Ooh, I like your thinking – perhaps U.S. senator Kent (played by Annette O’Toole) has the goods on the Checkmate baddies? I pressed exec producer Brian Peterson on the reason for Martha’s Episode 21 appearance, and he teased, “There is a purpose to it” beyond a fun (and very overdue) cameo. With Michael McKean returning as Perry White in the same episode, Peterson added, “We have a couple fun twists and turns planned.”

Is Stephen Swift/Warrior Angel going to be part of any future storylines on ‘Smallville’? – Lori
I’m thinking no, and frankly it was a little cruel that the powers-that-be ever “kidded” around about this guy would be Chloe’s next love interest. That said, Brian Peterson told me that in this Friday’s episode, Stephen/Warrior Angel “fulfills a little fantasy of Chloe’s.”

Could you help spread the word that on Friday we’re trying to trend #EDfor22, to have Erica Durance on 22 episodes of ‘Smallville’ during Season 10? – Floruru via Twitter
Consider the word spread, though I am prefer the Twitter hash tag #EricaDeuxDeuxRance.

I just added a new promo for “Warrior” airing next Friday, February 12th. You can view it on the left sidebar.

Erica Durance (Lois Lane) chatted with “TV.com” about “Clois”, “Absolute Justice” and more recently – read a snippet below of Erica discussing Lois’ role in “Absolute Justice”:

The Justice Society of America is coming to Smallville, so to speak. What will be your role in this two-hour special?
Durance: You will see Lois running a parallel story with Clark. Clark has a first-hand meeting with these individuals. Lois goes off on her own to investigate, and finds herself introduced to Dr. Fate. She has a run-in with him, and he gives her interesting insight into her future.
