Countess Isobel transmitted her soul forward in time, to Smallville, where she would be worshipped and adored. She sent Lana back in time to France to be burnt at the stake as a witch.

They transported themselves back to the early part of the French Revolution and helped the downtrodden peasants tear down that hated prison stone by stone.
Unfortunately, Lana wasn't there.
Darn.
