In this week’s episode of Going Back to Smallville, we’re diving into the spy mission that pushed Jimmy and Chloe to the brink and why this part of Jimmy’s arc still doesn’t sit right with us. From NSA briefcases to trust-breaking betrayals, we unpack the emotional weight behind one of Smallville’s most ambitious (and confusing) detours. If you’ve ever loved Jimmy Olsen… but felt like the show let him down, this one’s for you.
