Which there's no reason for. It's pretty obvious that the writers want to continually tell us just how good Lois is for Clark so having her turn around and bash Clark's plan is just another example of how the writers need to get a clue when it comes to what messages they are trying to send with this tv show.
I'm still wondering why Clark is even going to throw on the suit. Where is the build up to that point? Are we going to have Lois tell Clark to put the suit on, just like the glasses? Is Oliver going to tell Clark to step up? Will a gigantic clown magically appear in the finale and destroy the entire Smallville universe? Nothing would surprise me at this point because yes...the writers are that bad.
It's nice that Oliver got to embark on a journey at the end of this episode after the writers created an OOC moment for Clark, but shouldn't it be Clark going on the journey? Shouldn't these last few episodes end with him pondering his future or something? I honestly don't get it. The writers keep saying that the end is all about Clark, so maybe that means the last 10 minutes of the series finale because right now, other characters seem to be getting the spotlight and an actual storyline that will lead them into the finale while Clark is left with marrying Lois and perhaps getting involved with the darkness plot in the 11th hour(series finale).
I also think it's amazing how there is no mention of Lex's possible return on the show itself. What is he going to just show up in the finale out of nowhere? If I wasn't watching the promos, I would have no idea that he was coming back. Just think back to season 7 when Brainiac returned. There were episodes prior to Brainiac returning that actually...wait for it...built up his return. Imagine that. What a concept. But these writers? Well, they sit down in the writers room and someone probably says.."let's bring this character back for this episode because we need to close out their story." So out of nowhere, the character just enters the show again without any setup. That's the true definition of cobbling stories together in what is very much a cobbled together final season of Smallville.
According to the dialogue given to Clark in this episode, the crystal at WT does indeed close the portal.
It seems to me that the writing in this episode was a whole lot less about serving Clark's character, and far more about advancing Oliver's skull tattoo storyline, once again validating how strong/supportive/etc Lois is, and bringing back Zod because he was on the "bucket list". But as far as what the episode actually did for Clark? Well, ya know, it didn't do much at all. He helped to move those others arcs along, but in the process, his plans had to be shown as "stupid" and wrong.

The PZ crystal at WT only gets you in the PZ. The only way out of the PZ is by the console that uses the blood of El. The FoS may get them out too.
Having Tess destroying the PZ crystal does absolutely nothing.
