As a fan of Smallville, I have to say that I'm apart of the group of people who usually don't like Smallville's filler episodes. The filler episodes in Smallville usually distract heavily from the main storyline of the season and this episode was no different. However, I have to say that it was one of the better fillers and better episodes this season.

Now as we all have seen and speculated, this episode borrows its plot from The Hangover. The story revolves around an engagement party for Clark and Lois (pardon me, Lois and Clark) gone awry.

The episode starts off with the Smallville gang (Lois, Clark, Chloe, Oliver, Tess, and Dr. Emil) celebrating Lois and Clark's engagement and getting ready for a night on the town. That's when everything got hazy. The next immediate scene is from the clip we've seen this past week of Clark waking up to discover Chloe past out in a closet, wedding rings on their fingers, a lemur in the the bedroom.

The rest of the episode is what you'd expect. It follows Chloe and Clark trying to discover what happened the night before. The episode follows them trying to answer the questions: Did they get married, did they do "the deed" and did Clark rob an armored car?

The rest of the episode features shenanigans with Lois attempting to get her engagement ring back from a club owner she bet to the night before, which leads to a funny-yet-frightening moment with Oliver in drag as showgirl, and Dr. Emil doing a Elvis impersonation/duet with Tess.

The rest episode featured Amos Fortune as the main villain for the episode as he attempted to coerce the name of the benefactor who "stole" his money from Emil. Also, the episode somewhat brought an end to the Chloe/Oliver romance arc. Their arc ended with the discovery of THEIR drunken marriage (not Clark and Chloe's) and Chloe's apparent departure for a job in Star City at the Star City Reporter.

The episode did not feature an appearance from Zatanna though her presence was defintitely felt and they was no evident influence from Darkseid shown in Oliver either in this episode either. Th episode did indeed finish with a big "OMG" moment as promised as it was discovered that Emil and Tess in fact "did the deed" as the Smallville gang recapped the "lost" night through their video camera at the conclusion of the episode.

Concluding thoughts: I thought it was one of the funnier Smallvile episodes in a while and though it didn't have anything to do with the Darkseid storyline, it made for a good episode. If you didn't get to see it, I recommend checking it out when it hits the web in a few days.
