Smallville has a challenge ahead of itself this week:

It must follow up the most buzzed-about episode in series history, as the special Justice League-themed "Absolute Justice" dominated last Friday night's ratings and was considered a home run by most fans of the show.

This week, viewers will be treated to a pair of guest stars: Carlo Marks as Stephen Swift; and Serinda Swan as Zatanna.

The former will run into Chloe and form a relationship, prior to turning into Warrior Angel, while the latter asks asks Clark for his help. Check out our Smallville spoilers section for more information and click on the pics below for an early look at "Warrior."
