Season 9 of "Smallville" will be kicked off on Friday, September 25, and in anticipation to the season premiere, The CW has unveiled two fresh clips. Both of the sneak peek provide a preview of what will happen in the first episode, focusing the attention on Clark, Chloe and the new villain, General Zod.

The first clip takes a look at the discussion Clark and Chloe have about Lois where Chloe ultimately tells the young superhero that Lois doesn't remember vanishing into thin air. The other clip, in the meantime, centers around Zod. Reminding them who he is, he declares, "I will find an answer we are looking for or I will die in the quest."

"Smallville" enters season 9 with the episode entitled "Savior". Clark tells Jor-El he's ready to start his training, but Jor-El sends him back to Metropolis to cut ties with Lois before he can begin. Chloe is shocked when Lois suddenly reappears after having been missing for weeks, but Lois has no recollection of vanishing into thin air with the Legion ring.

While investigating a monorail crash, Lois meets John Corben, a new reporter at The Daily Planet, with a negative attitude toward the Red-Blue Blur. Chloe begs Clark to use the Legion ring to go back in time to save Jimmy, but he refuses, driving a wedge into their friendship. Meanwhile, Oliver continues down a dark road, and Zod arrives at the Luthor mansion.
