Clark and Kara go to the Smallville Harvest Festival, where Kara decides, after seeing three of America"s Next Top Bitches, that she should compete in a beauty pageant. Let"s see: you ate your spaceship, your priceless Kryptonian artifact is missing and could destroy the world...why not compete for a crown and some roses? Awesome thinking. Clark and Kara clash on his big brother-like tendencies, and blow up an innocent watermelon as he tries to teach her to control her powers. Lana arrives at the barn on the wings of cherubs, bathed in elemental light and with beautiful music playing. Is this Season 2? She and Clark instantly get back together, even though she pretended to be killed. Clark doesn"t seem to mind. Lex shows up later, at Lana"s request, and has arranged things so that Lana can come back to town without being sent to jail. Lex offers a divorce settlement, but when Lana says she doesn"t want his money, he reminds her that she quietly stole $10 million from him. For her "escape." I guess bad wigs are pricey in China. Lex vaguely threatens to spill the details of her thievery to Clark. For some reason, Lana doesn"t want Chloe to know that she"s alive, but she walks right out in public with Clark, and nobody seems to notice that the billionaire"s dead wife is alive and well. The three whores who pissed off Kara turn out to be thieves who win pageants and can control the weather. They freeze one of their own and try to get Kara to go along with their theft of a treasure map (!) that was in a town time capsule. Kara defeats the evil beauty queens when they almost hurt Clark with Kryptonite. It turns out that the treasure map leads to a Kryptonian S.O.S. symbol buried a hundred years ago. It"s evidence that there"s at least one other Kryptonian around on Earth. Jimmy comes back to town and, at one point, is saved by Kara. Kara has a huge crush on Jimmy, and he doesn"t seem to mind her too much, either. Gross. Chloe is resistant to pursuing news about Kryptofreaks, even though Jimmy now believes everything she used to say about Smallville. And finally, Lex tracks down his angel, Kara, and confronts her with his knowledge about her having saved him at the dam. She denies it. Lex is really disappointed that a Kent superhero won"t cop to the truth. He asks whether Kara"s a savior or a warning. If this all sounds like the makings of a good episode, you may be right. The end result, however, didn"t turn out so well.
