My best guess is that the whole light show in the cave was a wormhole or teleportation system (it looked like a tunnel or something was going through the wall), sucked in the key and Swan’s “receivers” picked it up.

Of course, the ending does mean Christopher Reeve will _have_ to show up for more episodes, which I think is very cool.

yes, it is to the show’s credit that they use Reeve. I think you may be right  
concerning the teleporting, but they really left it open. Almost anything could  
of happened. I love the way they ended a few weeks ago with Lex swallowing  
a gun very dramatic ending, until you relaise 2 seconds later he gets a phone  
call and puts the gun down!! It is this comic book like mentality I love about  
Smallville.
