I really enjoyed Clark and Lana's cuddling and sneaking around at the begining of the episode. It was just fun. It was also fun to see Lana being held up in Clark's embrace at the end of the episode; she looked so tiny in his arms. 
I likewise believe that Clark just lept up to reach the missile. Although they didn't dwell on it for very long I believe that it was meant to be Clark discovering one more of his powers which they haven't shown him doing for a while now. I mean, originally Superman didn't fly at all, he just "leaps over tall buildings in a single bound". It was only later that he was attributed with the power of flight. I expect him to now add that his ever growing repertoire of tricks. We'll probably see a good deal more of it from now on this season.
Now asside from flight, the only other power I think Clark is lacking is his freezing breath. Can anyone else think of any other Superman tricks Clark is missing; not counting the "Kriptonian amnesia kiss" or the reversing time bit?

We've seen him do really long jumps before though.
In season 2/3 (?) where he jumps from the Daily Planet building to the Luthor Corp building to save his mom (and Lionel) from kidnappers.
Then in season 4, we see him do another running jump from a bridge to a speeding truck below to save the Lane sisters (Lucy had faked a kidnapping).
But I agree that his vertical leap is a new use. And I think it was a leap, and not flight, because of his reactions when he got to the top of his jump... he kinda seemed to latch onto the missle so he didn't fall back to Earth, rather than just catch up to it if he were flying.

I like that thought, because it would give Clark a fighting chance to stop the "death of a loved one". Because it's one thing if DAD says it's going to happen and nothing can prevent it (as in how Clark had his powers stripped in the first place), but it would be another thing if an evil entity (not dad) were to threaten to kill a loved one and Clark could fight against it.
Plus,
We constantly have the fight of destiny vs free choice in Smallville, and this would add one more level to it.
Perhaps we won't see Pa Kent or Chloe die.
I'm not keen on the power-transferral thing. Clark has his powers because he's an alien. But his powers seem to be able to be taken away, given back, given to other people, etc. all with the wave of a hand. It's almost as though his powers were magical in origin, and controlled by Jor El.
I know, it's sci-fi, but it doesn't sit well with me.

Barely. There were gashes in the the cloth. From what I remember about Superman, his powers of invulnerability extend to what he is wearing and maybe about an inch around him as well.Xath said:

I agree, it is just wrong. So much of what we know is derived from earlier works and the fact that aour solar system has a yellow sun is the reason why he has his powers. A friend of mine debated a long time ago, that if a regular human being made it to Krypton, they would be endowed with the same powers. I don't know about that, but eh.Morrus said:
