ED: Did you get approval?
MR: Of course I got approval. Kristin's and my entire script was axed. I don't want to go through that again.
ED: I still can't believe Bryan decided to drop the entire episode.
MR: Whatever it takes to punish Kristin.
ED: He better be careful.
MR: Do you want to read the trailer or no?
ED: OK, let's see it. [ED takes the sheet of paper]
[A dark lab. Lex stands facing away from Hope.]
PCWV (PompousCWVoice): On Thursday...
Lex: Leave us.
Hope: Us, sir?
[Lex spins around in a rage]
Lex: "Get the hell out! Now!!!!"
[Cut to outside the lab. Richards looks through a window into the lab. Lex rests next to an open black steel box. The screen goes white in a huge explosion.]
PCWV: As Clark inches closer to the truth behind the death of his best friend...
[Cut to Clark pinning Lex up against the wall.]
Clark: "What did you do to her Lex!?!? What did you do to Chloe!?!?!"
ED: Chloe?!?! You're putting the dead woman in the teaser? What about Lois?
MR: You're in there, don't worry.
PCWV: Everyone will be asking...
[Cut to Clark on his knees. Lex stands above him.]
Lex: "You don't look so well, Clark. Are you OK?"
PCWV: What's gotten into Lex?
[Cut to show a smiling Lex]
Lex: There's a new Lex Luthor in town.
Lionel: You've never been this ruthless, son.
Lex: You haven't seen anything yet, old man.
PCWV: On an all new Smallville.
[Cut to Lois in a car rolling down her passenger window]
Lois: What happened to you? Get shaken down by the local bully for your lunch money?
[Cut back to a battered and bruised Lionel.]
Lionel: Lex happened to me. We need to stop him.
[Go to black]
ED: Great. Lois reduced to comic relief! Again.
MR: Better than nothing.
ED: It's my episode! I should...
MR: Now, now. Don't forget about the deal we've made.
ED: Stupid deal!
MR: I mean you could have stipulated Lois be smart and intrepid but instead you wanted...
ED: Shut up! Lois should be smart and intrepid by default! I shouldn't have to stipulate...
MR: We can always re-negotiate.
ED: Really?
MR: Actually, no. The script has already been locked in.
ED: But everything is still going according to plan.
MR: Yes.
ED: [relieved] Thank goodness.
MR: Actually no.
ED: What?!?!
MR Just a slight scheduling problem.
ED: Excuse me?
MR: You're going to have to babysit Bryan for a while until everything clicks into place.
ED: Me?!?! Why me?
MR: As long as he thinks, you know, that you're in a family way he'll take it easier on you than anybody else.
ED: Lovely. Shove the pregnant woman under the bus.
MR: But you're not really...?
ED: Of course not!!!!
MR: Then what's the big deal?
ED: You suck, Michael.
MR: You just do your part and I'll do mine.
