7.20 Harbinger Part II by TW & MR

AM: Sluttier than the Pussycat Dolls?
AoT: Is there such a thing?
KK: As if a WWE diva should talk.
AoT: Watch it, Kreuk. I'll pancake you.
TW: Then you and your car'll be a matching set.
KK: That's not funny!
ED: The Pussycat Dolls aren't slutty. They're liberated.
KK: Of taste.
TW: An entourage of four similarly dressed femmes fatales follow. Chloe enjoys the attention of heads turning as she walks.
AM: Wait. What?
ED: Yeah. Turning heads in skimpy outfits is my job!
AM: [rolls eyes]
MR: You'll both get over it. Speaking of PCD, "Don't Cha" plays in the background.
ED: That's from my promo! Chloe can't use it!
AM: She has a point.
MR: Then we'll go with "My humps" instead.
AM: "My humps"? Is that like my peeps or something?
MR: Something like that.
ED: No way! Lois is the one with lovely lady lumps!
AM: The lovely who's what now?
ED: [Stands up to dance and point while singing] My humps. My humps. My humps. My humps.
KK: [to AM] You should know better.
ED: My lovely lady lumps.
AM: [to KK] I've never heard the song before, honest.
ED: My lovely lady lumps.
AM: "Don't cha" is fine, really.
ED: In the back and in the front!
[AM's jaw drops]
AM: Oh my.
KK: We get the point, Erica.
AM: Don't cha, definitely Don't cha.
ED: [Sitting] Love that song!
TW: Chloe grabs a Planet from a newsstand without paying.
MR: When the vendor yells she points her arm at the stand and lets loose a bolt of energy.
AM: Huh?
TW: Down the street Lois and Bittleman exit the Planet Building.
MR: "OK Ariel, a couple minutes to 'get some air' but then we have a story to write!"
TW: Lois ignores him. She's calling Clark, "Maybe he can help us find Chloe."
ED: Totally out of character, but whatever.
AM: You're complaining about being out of character behavior?
MR: Erica, will you read for Lois?
ED: Sure. "Where the hell did you disappear to?" Better.
TW: Clark lies, "I stepped out for some air."
ED: "I need you to help me find Chloe. Surely she's..."
MR: Lois spots Chloe and freezes.
TW: "She's what, Lois?"
ED: "Never mind, Clark. She's right here."
MR: Lois hangs up. Clark super speeds in between Lois and Bittleman and Bittleman asks him where he came from.
TW: "I was... just around the corner." Lois blocks Chloe's path.
ED: "Wow, Chloe. You're just begging for a wardrobe malfunction in that getup."
AM: Wardrobe malfunction!? God, Tom!
TW: Michael actually.
AM: God, Michael.
MR: I knew you'd like it. Chloe is dismissive, "Do I know you?" Lois eyes Chloe's entourage.
ED: "Seems the rumours of the end of the world haven't been exaggerated. Chloe Sullivan joined a Pussycat Dolls tribute band."
AM: You've got to be kidding!
MR: Cross promotion week. They make an appearance on our show and...
KK & AM: There's no way I'm...
ED: We get to be Pussycat Dolls!?!?!
MR: No. They're gonna dress in skimpy super girl outfits on their show.
[AM & KK sigh with relief, ED with disappointment]

MR: The newsstand guy runs up, "She destroyed my newsstand!"
ED: "Is this true?"
MR: Chloe rolls her eyes and moves to pass. Lois puts her hand on Chloe's shoulder.
ED: "Wait."
MR: "Don't. Touch. Me."
ED: "Not until you tell us what's going on."
MR: Chloe gives Lois a defiant glare before reaching for a dagger strapped to her hip.
TW: Those with a sharp eye will notice it's made from the crystal stolen in the teaser.
MR: She moves to stab Lois.
AM & ED: Huh?
JG: Today's lesson. Don't try to Single White Female Chloe.
ED: Excuse me but Chloe is the one wearing Lois' fashion sense.
AoT: Maybe it's a more like Trading Places.
AM & ED: I want to trade back!
TW: Clark goes into super speed mode pulling the dagger from Chloe's hand.
MR: Back in real time Chloe's "stab" becomes a gut punch sending Lois flying into the nearby wall and knocking her unconscious.
ED: Unconscious again. Let me guess. Clark uses his powers now.
TW: You're not as dumb as you let on Erica. When Bittleman goes to check on Lois Clark grabs Chloe's wrist, "Chloe, what are you doing?"
MR: Chloe looks at her empty hand and then spots the dagger in Clark's other hand. "The son of Jor-El. I did not expect we would meet so soon." She smiles evilly, "Prepare to learn the true meaning of pain." And we end the first act.
TW: Clark pulls Chloe by the arm, "You're not well."
MR: "What do you think you're doing?"
TW: "I'm taking you somewhere you can't hurt anyone."
MR: Chloe opens her hand and shoots a out a stream of fire. It engulfs a building in flames.
AM: Now wait a...
MR: "The time is not yet right, Kal-El."
TW: In slow motion Chloe goes into super speed mode herself. She bends down under Clark, pulls the dagger from his other hand, pulls away, and kicks him in the mid section. Clark loses his grip on her wrist as he flies ass first into the burning building.
MR: As Clark hits the wall it partially collapses.
TW: He pulls free of the debris and faces Chloe but cries of help take his his attention.
AM: You can't do this to Chloe!
KK: When I said she was seriously disturbed I was just kidding. Wow. What did Allison do to you?
TW: Patience. Inside the building Clark finds a little girl and super-speeds her into the back alley. Kneeling down to her level, "It's going to be OK."
MR: The child nods and we hear a chuckle. It's Chloe standing over him. "No. It's not going to be OK."
TW: Clark stands, his body shielding the girl. "Stop this, now."
AM: Yes. Stop it.
KK: Is Chloe on Red K or something?
ED: I thought Red K just made you horny.
MR: In which case Lois must be...
ED: Shut up.
TW: All will be explained soon enough.
AM: It better be.
MR: "And spoil all my fun? I've just begun, Kal-El. Smallville was just the beginning."
TW: Clark looks like he's been punched in the gut, "That was you?"
ED: Chloe nuked Smallville? Day-um.
AM: I hope we get a good "day-um" explanation.
MR: Don't worry.
AM: Why don't I feel any better?
MR: Chloe smirks. "Consider it a gift. To get you motivated."
AoT: If that doesn't motivate him I don't know what will.
TW: Clark stares at Chloe in horror. There are more cries from the building and Clark glances from Chloe to the building and back.
MR: Chloe, "Don't let me keep you."
TW: Clark is reluctant to leave Chloe alone.
MR: "We will meet again, Kal-El." She flies straight up in the air.
TW: Clark stares up after her for a moment but another cry for help snaps him out of it. He heads back into the building.
MR: Pull back to Otis on an alleyway looking up onto the sky. He's on the phone. "Uh, boss, you're not going to believe this."

TW: Cut to Lionel at his desk on the phone, "Are you sure?" He's agitated by the response, "This could ruin everything! Keep an eye on Clark but don't interfere unless it's absolutely necessary."
