Kent Farm. Clark is in the barn, using a sander to try remove the ring. Chloe stops him, saying she knows the blue Kryptonite is cramping his style, but he might grind his finger off. Clark's really frustrated. He needs to get to the Fortress somehow. Chloe tells him to take his book. She hands him a book that has an octagonal shape cut inside the pages. Just then a shadow falls over them. They go outside. Chloe checks a weather forecast video on her cell phone. It loads up instantly. It says nothing about a fatal eclipse. They go outside. The sky is darkening. It is an eclipse. Chloe says that's astrologically impossible, except on Heroes. "Zor-El," Clark says. Black hole sun, won't you come wash this episode away?
Commercials. They still want you to be a vlogger, whatever that means. I think this episode sure deserves a two-minute video rant.
Daily Planet. We see the non-moving eclipse up above the building. Everyone is standing around watching through a window instead of hammering out copy or making phone calls. Worst newsroom ever. The guy who bought Jimmy's tickets for his boyfriend recently, says, "Oh God, if this is the apocalypse, I'd better get my dogs." I like the wacky gay office workers better on Ugly Betty. Lois wanders by saying she's sure there's some boring scientific explanation and that the sun doesn't just blow out like a birthday candle. Everyone in the office is like, "Shut up, slut." Boy Editor bellows that it's time for everyone stop gawking and to stop working. He says they're journalists, not stargazers. Lois gives him a seductive look that nobody seems to notice. "Lane. I knew you'd be burning a hole in your retina," he tells her. Lois, so completely oblivious it hurts, says she's been looking all over the building for him. Did you look in your pants? He tells her he needs to see her in his office, five minutes ago. In the office, they both try to break it off. Lois says that for a girl not used to being swept off her feet, she's blowing in the wind here. Blowing is right. Grant says he's soaring through the clouds. Free-ballin'. They both finish each others' sentences that they need to end it, that this is inappropriate, that Boy Editor is her boss, that it's totally unprofessional. Lois says it'll be easy as pie. "I never even liked you that much," she says. He doesn't believe it. The both walk to the door, agreeing that it's all over, like it never happened. Try telling that to your co-workers. Then it all goes out the window like Zor-El, because Lois and Grant start kissing again. Wrong, wrong, wrong. And we're supposed to be rooting for Lois?
