New 'Smallville' Video: Episode 12 Preview & Erica Durance On Lois Lane

"Smallville" returns to its regular weekly schedule this week with the new episode "Collateral," and The CW is marking the occasion with a trio of new videos teasing Friday's episode and the remainder of the series' final season.

Episode 12 looks to be picking up where last year's midseason finale left off — with Clark Kent (Tom Welling) and the rest of the series' heroes falling unconscious at the funeral for Carter Hall, a.k.a. Hawkman. The shadowy anti-vigilante agency is at it again, and according to the clips, gone-but-not-forgotten Chloe Sullivan (Allison Mack) might have something to do with their latest diabolical machinations!

Here's the official preview of "Collateral" posted by The CW:

And here's a clip from the episode:

And finally, Lois Lane herself (actress Erica Durance) confirms that Chloe's loyalties are in question in the new episode, and hints at what's in store for the remainder of the season:

"Smallville" will air Friday, January 28, at 8 PM Eastern on The CW.
