Episode #5-6: "Exposed" Air Date: November 3, 2005Ding, Dong, The Kents' Freeloader Is Gone- Lois tells Chloe she needs her help moving out of the Kents' place... she's moving into the apartment over the Talon. Guess Lana has vacated the premises. "How you ever had a crush on Richie Cunningham I'll never understand," Lois says to Chloe, referring to Clark.- Lois mentions that Chloe hasn't been to Smallville in weeks.- Chloe answers a phone. "Daily Planet info line." Guess that job thing from previous weeks has worked out. She gets a call from a frantic woman, wanting to meet at 7th and Edgemont - a seedier district of Metropolis.- When they arrive, Chloe and Lois spot an attractive young girl named Melissa Knox running for her life across a street. One of her heels is broken, and she looks frantic. A sedan comes out of the darkness and plows toward Melissa, sending her flying and killing her in front of the eyes of Lois and Chloe.Clark Wants To Go Someplace...- "You'll have to abandon the jeans and the t-shirt, and you can't drive up in your dad's truck," Lex tells Clark, throwing him his own keys. He asks Clark to do him a favor and "stay out of trouble."Chloe and Lois Try To Get Into The Club- ...But they can't find this club they're looking for, among a bunch of dingy warehouses. They finally find where they want to be, and Lois tries the "our friends are already in there" routine. No, go. So they sneak in the back door where the dancers come in. Chloe starts investigating, trying to find out if anyone knows anything about a murdered girl named Melissa Knox. They do their investigator thing, and somehow it ends up with Lois being undercover as a dancer, having been mistaken as "the replacement Rocco sent over." Yes, this does sound like the rumored "Lois stripper" episode. Must be sweeps. *Cue sounds of eyes rolling* And hey, considering the Dukes of Hazzard connections later in this episode, shouldn't it have been Rosco who sent her over? Okay, we'll stop now.Meeting With Luke- Clark has his own way of getting in, and he goes to the Windgate Club in Metropolis at night to meet with senator Jack Jennings. (More on him further down on the spoilers) He says he's been referred by Lex Luthor.Clubbing, Smallville Style- Clark uses his super-hearing to listen to a bad guy named Andre talking to the owner of the Windgate Club. The owner makes a reference to paying Andre 500K.- Clark is about to bust in on Andre's meeting when Detective Maggie Sawyer comes through the door. "Metropolis PD!" She wants to speak to some people about the death of one of this club's dancers.- Lois apparently works at the Windgate Club, and Andre tells her to come with him through a back exit after Sawyer comes in. There's an arrest... and Sawyer puts cuffs on... Clark! End of act two.Chloe Is Arrested Too- For what, we don't know. Sneaking in? Being a potential witness like Clark is? Whatever it is, it's right after Sawyer spots and recognizes her.The Problem With Jennings- Clark uses his hearing to listen to the bouncer talking to Sawyer. The bouncer tells her that Jennings took things hard when Melissa "cut him loose." Apparently Jennings has been blamed for the situation, and perhaps what Clark is trying to do is clear him.Chloe & Clark Talk With Detective Sawyer- "You can thank Lex Luthor for a few generous phone calls," Sawyer says to Chloe and Clark. Apparently Lex got them a "get out of jail free" card.- Chloe tells Sawyer that she thinks the same person who killed Melissa Knox (aka "Andre") also may have her cousin (that would be Lois).- Clark suggests that it may be the same guy also who made the deal with the owner right before she vanished. (How Clark explains how he knew about this, we have no idea.)- Sawyer makes a comment that Chloe's cousin is likely underage, and was probably lucky to escape a police raid. Lois? Underage? There's a first. "If you want to play Nancy Drew and Hardy Boy, do it in another precinct," Sawyer tells them. No, Sawyer! They're playing Veronica Mars and Wallace!Lois Is Off With Andre...- And she sees boxes with polaroid pictures of women on them, including Melissa. Personal items of the women are inside. He starts taking photos of her. She says she wants to get a cab and leave. "Think of your taxi days as a thing of the past," he tells her. "You have a whole new life ahead of you, now. To us," he says. Yes, Lois has now replaced Lana as the Creepy Guys' Object Of Affection.Now for the good stuff....- Tom Wopat's character's name is Jack Jennings, and he happens to own a Dodge Charger. If anything remains in this script, let's please hope the Charger stays. Incidentally, the name "Jennings" is an inside joke in itself - as the legendary Dukes of Hazzard "Balladeer" was Waylon Jennings. Jennings is meeting with someone named Jordan about a journalist's rumor, when he hears a car rumbling and approaching. It's Jonathan, driving the Charger. Bo and Luke (the real Bo and Luke) are back!!! Jonathan tells him to get in. "With you behind the wheel?" Jennings says. "Guess it wouldn't be the first time I put your life in my hands."- And if those Dukes of Hazzard references weren't enough... again, really, at least webmaster Craig is loving this... Jennings climbs in the car window. The door's been jammed ever since he got the car.Source: K-Site***************I don't know what to think about it. Too much Lois in the spoilers but a lack of Lana... hee! I'll get myself some coffee and think about them later.ETA: If Lois is moving into the apartment above the Talon... where is Lana? At Pete's in Wichita? Please let her be there and not at Lex's. Wichita supposses to be a very nice town... Lana's probably visiting her old friend there *nods*
