7.16 Control by AM & MR (Part V)

MR: Clark notices Lois hesitate, "What is it?"
AM: "It's nothing."
MR: "No, tell me."
AM: "Is was just..." Lois laughs at her self, "I was just thinking I need to get makeup tips from the undertaker."
MR: Clark looks at her like she's crazy.
AM: "You asked. The truth is anyone who can cover up Chloe's unfortunate run in with a curling iron last year is a genius."
MR: Clark now just looks confused.
AM: "You don't remember? She had a band-aid under her collar bone for at least a week."
MR: Show Chloe's collar bone and then flash back to Freak where Clark fishes a tracking device out of Chloe's shoulder. Clark, "Yeah I think I remember now."
AM: Lois, "It looks like the scare was never there. Whatever they did should be patented."
MR: Two old ladies near the front give Clark and Lois dirty looks.
AM: Lois lowers her voice, "Let's sit down before Gabe kicks us out."
MR: Clark nods. As they're walking Clark whispers, "It probably just healed when she, you know, picked up that healing ability."
AM: Lois, "Yeah, I asked her about that. Turns out scars are technically already healed. It never went away."
MR: They sit and Clark looks thoughtful.
JG: That's a change.
MR: Shut up. "Like bones."
JG: Now it's Lois' turn to look confused, "What the hell are you talking about, Smallville?"
MR: "An X-ray can tell if a bone has ever been broken even after it's healed."
AM: "So?"
MR: "Our freshman year Chloe broke her arm when she fell out Lex's window."
AM: "I don't even want to know the story behind that."
MR: Sex play can be more dangerous than people think.
AM: Shut up.
MR: She must have forgotten the safe word.
AM: I said shut up!
MR: Clark focuses in on the casket. Show an x-ray of Chloe's skeleton and zoom in on an arm. "I don't think Chloe's dead, Lois."
ED: If she's not dead the who the hell is in the casket?
KK: Oh, my god! It better not be what I think it is.
ED: A blow up doll?
KK: No! A clone, Durance, a clone!
ED: That would be lame.
TW: Lamer than a blow up doll?
ED: Well...
MR: What's wrong with a clone?
KK: Faking a death with a clone? I mean come on. How lame is that?
MR: I thought it was brilliant.
JG: It's ridiculous! A clone!?!?! That's the best you could come up with?
AoT: It is pretty dumb.
JG: Dumb?!?! It makes Chloe's funeral a over a month after she dies seem like a stroke of genius.
AM: We can always revisit the Dallas method.
JG: The Dallas method?!?!? I've changed my mind. A dead clone doesn't sound so bad anymore.
ED: But how did they switch the bodies?
AM: You don't remember the lights going out right after Chloe died?
ED: No.
AM: I don't know why. You wrote it.
KK: Lex was able to switch out Chloe's body while the lights were out? Lois and Clark sure are idiots.
TW & ED: Shut up!
AM: Moving on. While we know they're about to bury a lifeless clone Lois and Clark do not.
MR: Now it's Lois' turn to look at Clark like he's crazy,
AM: "I thought I was in denial. We were there when she died, Clark. You have to let her go."
MR: Lois' tone gets her some dirty looks from other funeral attendees. Clark, "I'm telling you that's not Chloe!"
AM: "Then who the hell is it, Sherlock?"
MR: "I don't know but I know where I can find out." Clark gets up.
TW: I take it Clark is going to be bursting through a set of double doors in the next scene.
AM: Have we become that predictable? "Clark where are you going?" But Clark just walks out. Lois sits for a moment, takes a deep breath and follows. Under her breath, "Hope he's right. It's impolite to miss someone's funeral twice in a row." Once outside she calls out, "Smallville, wait up!"
MR: But Clark is no where to be found.
AM: "Clark? Clark?" Lois pulls out her phone.
MR: The minister approaches and offers a sheet of paper, "Miss Lane, you're scheduled to read in..."
AM: "No time, father Tuck. You'll have to find somebody else."
MR: Just then Bittleman walks up, "Lois, I'm so sorry about your cousin. Let me know if there's anything I can do."
AM: "There sure is." Lois takes the paper from the minister and hands it to Ted, "Read this for me." Before they can react Lois runs off leaving them looking baffled.

MR: Lex's office. Kahloe...
AM: Wearing the puffy shirt.
MR: Whatever. She's on the phone. "Thank you, Hope, but I want to speak with the doctor personally. He still has something I need." Kahloe hangs up. She's been doing a little research on Vault Black while covering up her and Lex' tracks.
AM: On her screen are calculations on how to ensure she and Sex will continue to be in control.
MR: She finds something that upsets her just as Clark in Clark!Smash mode enters the room.
TW: I knew it! Who called it?
KK: Who didn't?
TW: I called it!
AM: [Rolling her eyes] Kahloe easily neutralizes him with Green K.
TW: Wait, what? Easily?
AM: Pretty easily. Clark storms into Lex's office, shoves the desk across the room and violently pins Lex against the wall. "What did you do to her Lex!?!? What did you do to Chloe!?!?!"
MR: Even though Clark's hand is wrapped around Kahloe's neck Kahloe seems oddly calm.
AM: And a bit turned on, actually.
ED: Turned on? Kahloe is one sick puppy, isn't she?
MR: Clark starts to breathe heavily.
ED: So now Clark is turned on too?
AM: Kahloe, "So did she come to see you or did you figure it out all on your own?"
MR: Clark seems confused for a moment, "Where is she!?!?!"
AM: "So you haven't seen her yet. I'm almost impressed."
MR: Clark continues to look progressively worse. Despite his rage he can't fight the sickness off. As he falls to his knees, "If you've hurt her I swear I'll break every bone in your body!"
KK: Clark on his knees in front to Lex talking about bones? Allison, you naughty girl.
AM: Kahloe smiles, "You don't look so well, Clark. Are you OK?" Show her sporting a green K ring.
MR: We're still going to play David Bowie's "Queen Bitch" here, right?
AM: Whatever floats your boat, Michael. Lionel arrives, notices Clark on his knees in front of Lex and begins chastising his son.
JG: About time! I was starting to wonder why I had to be here today. Lionel gets a few good zingers in as always, I'm sure.
KK: How about, "You're at the office son! How many times have I told you not to mix business with pleasure!"
AM: Heh, Good one. Actually Kahloe just laughs at Lionel and fires him on the spot.
JG: What? Nobody fires the MB!
AM: Kahloe does. She kicks ass.
MR: Lionel reminds Lex of their deal from Escape.
JG: That should shut her up. What was the deal?
KK: I think Lionel promised to keep something quiet in exchange for power.
JG: But what specifically?
KK: Hell if I remember.
AM: Kahloe makes a thinly veiled threat that if Lionel so much as thinks about threatening her again she'll have him killed.
JG: Why did we bring you back again, Allison?
MR: Lionel can tell something is wrong. Lex has never been this ruthless.
TW: Lionel has never been Lex's bitch before.
AM: Still isn't. He's Kahloe's bitch.
JG: Lionel is nobody's bitch!
AM: Just you wait.
JG: I swear to god, Mack!
AM: We could always invite Bryan back.
JG: I hate my life.
