To paraphrase Apocalypse Now, in my experience, nit-picking Smallville is like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
why Helen would so readily get back on a plane after the recent crash
No kidding -- and drinking from what he gave her. How can she possibly trust a Luthor?
Pfft.
I wonder what happened to the corpses -- Lana's stiff and Lex's.

Which was amazingly un-related to my utter confusion as to how Kansas has a port city
Oh, you haven't heard of our many many ports? They're all over the....plains.
I'm too tired to judge anything about Smallville or Angel last night. But one thing I liked about Clark. Right off the bat when he dealt with a bad guy in this ep - when he pulled Mortin (Mortan?) the big bad crime boss guy out of the car and told him to get off the farm/out of Smallville. He was a little darker, a little more ruthless and kind of (could it be?) scary.
I thought, for once, TW did kindabad!Clark well. And I liked it. I also liked Helen and Lex on the jet. And ooooh keep those bruises and scars Lex! Bruised!Lex - rowr.

Hey. Where the hell is Pete? He doesn't care that Clark is back and Lex is alive?

Man, when I kill a thread. I *kill* it.
Was it the thing about TW not doing a bad job? Because I hadn't had any coffee yet!

It's a remora, dimwit.
It did seem strange that they didn't even show Clark phoning Pete to tell him he was back from Metropolis, unless Clark subconsciously knows that Pete is Helen.

Or maybe Pete is dead? Or maybe Pete switched bodies a la Freaky Friday with Lana? And that explains Lana's incredibly strong and powerful over-WhitneytheWitless-love now?

Pete is Helen
Are you saying that Pete and Helen are the same person?

I'm not sure about Pete=Helen, but if Lex=gay, then, by golly, anything is possible.
