Thursday... Smallville... Ep. 6-16... "Freak"

Bare with me, I'm blogging this as I watch it, instead of trying to remember details.

How big is Smallville exactly? I thought it was just farm land, but now they even have a bowling alley. I'm actually surprised it's not in the Luthor mansion. I guess it can't be though, as some new dude with the ability to see meteor affected people shows up. He spots one and gets picked up by some thugs. Which of course will lead Chloe to call for Clark.

Hmm, he doesn't remember anything. And Lex is behind the mission to seek out the meteor "freaks." Some guy, whose wife was murdered, seems to care about this blind meteor-seer.

Clark and Chloe visit him, his sunglasses fall off and it doesn't show what he sees, but he looks shocked. And by the trailer we know that Chloe gets abducted. He uses superhearing to find out that he "found another one." Clark and Chloe were so close to him that he may have only saw one blur, and assumed it was Chloe. I guess I'll find out soon.

Lana seems very interested to find out more about Tobias (the blind kid). I wonder if she knows something about the blind kid that Lex is trying "to help," but obviously Chloe would be filling her in on details Lex would not. She's also hinting that she knows some meteor infectees could be helping people. Maybe she's finally zoned in on Clark.

Hahaha Clark took the good doctor's computer from right under his nose using super speed and stands there like "what? me?" Excellent.

So, I was right and Chloe was mistakenly identified. I was kinda hoping that she was infected in some way. But wouldn't the Dr. have assumed it was Clark? I mean, Clark acted dumb about the computer being taken, but Dr. Bethany (?) knows people have abilities and could easily assume that Clark used his to take the computer. So, maybe he IS just trying to lure Clark in, while Tobias thinks she is infected.

Woohoo, naked Chloe! Damn, I'm surprised they got the giant needle into her belly before Clark found her. DNA extraction, sounds fun.

I'm shocked at how direct Lana is being with Lex. Of course he plays smug and dumb, but I thought Lana would have tip-toes around it a little. I guess she's getting to the point where if something is going on, she needs to know now before the wedding/baby.

Chloe is back, safe and somewhat sound. She experienced the same type of memory loss that the Asian kid did, but she has to remember something because she said "Why would they take me?" Perhaps she was infected, they took it from her, and we'll never know... (Man, this is unraveling like Heroes. Let's take all the powers! Lex = 33.1 = Sylar!)

Oooh. Dr. Bethany tells Lex his laptop was stolen and there might be a mention of Luthercorp in there. This makes Lex very angry! He wants Tobias brought to him unharmed, but Lana gets to him first.

WOAH! So Lana DOES suspect, nay, KNOW Clark is infected. Or heavily assumes it, thinking Tobias will just crack and tell her everything if she pretends to already know. But he says Clark is "the most normal guy" he's ever met. Lana seems shocked. "Wrong? Me? Never!" I'm starting to think Lana isn't planning to even marry Lex, and is trying to find out everything she can from him. But she seemed pretty happy at the bowling alley "bachelorette party," so I can't be sure.

Maybe Chloe was infected by something that helps her crack all this computer stuff, because they're in. It's a map of Smallville! (thanks Clark.) and they're tracking and killing meteor freaks. I wish Chloe would stop using that word. She knows better than anyone that some of them are nice. DAYUMN! Chloe tells Clark to X-ray her, then BURN her! I don't get why he doesn't like, numb her with the cold breath first. Although I guess that could cause frostbite or something. And actually, he may not have figured that one out yet. I can't recall. Jimmy Olsen gets rather upset that Clark used a "pocketknife" to get the tracker out. Heh Heh.

Lana appears to have talked Tobias into going with her somewhere safe. The Dr. comes in and is all like, we're gonna get you your eyes! So Toby turns off the power and grabs a gun. Chaos ensues, Toby shoots Dr once, Dr. tackles Toby, Clark shows up just as Lana is shooting Dr. and Dr. is shooting Toby. Clark deflects both shots, then Lana finds the bullet hole, and the bullet with a big imprint in it.

Wow. Insane ending. Toby tells Clark Lana thinks he is infected. Lana confronts Clark and he says he's not infected. (Lana is very ballsy tonight!) And she's still skeptical. Lana says that if Clark WAS infected, it wouldn't matter. Don't know why Clark wouldn't just tell come clean then. Probably to protect her. She's also very hesitant to believe anything Lex says. He swears on the soul of his unborn child that he wasn't involved with Dr. in any plot to kill anyone. So, maybe this mystery baby has no soul? Oooh, vampire?!

So, Chloe IS infected. It makes sense now. Clark isn't infected by Kryptonite, it hurts him. He's the only one from Krypton itself, so Tobias really didn't suspect him at all. She's scared poopless. She probably has to die eventually. Lex tells someone off-screen to keep an eye on Chloe. Then he looks into the camera. Oooooh.
