Commercials. Is Diane Keaton still wacky and in need of love? Just checking.

We return right back to the scene of the throwdown. Lois sits, eating a chocolate dessert. She crashed the party and they still let her stay and eat? She looks sad. You gotta give it up for her. Even with Red K, she still can't get her man. MamaKent tells Chloe, standing nearby, that Clark is acting like he's been exposed to red Kryptonite. Chloe says that it's no coincidence that Lois went "hopelessly devoted" at the same time. See? She's a Pink Lady gone bad! Chloe gets a message from Jimmy on her phone, and says that they've found the culprit. She hands MamaKent a napkin with a big lipstick stain on it, explaining that Lois was hit with an aphrodisiac. MamaKent doesn't know how that would have affected Clark. Chloe says that the ruby-red sheen didn't come from crushed cranberries. MamaKent accepts, a little too quickly, that her son was wearing lipstick. MamaKent says that when Clark left Lois, he should have been fine. Chloe says that Lois's kisses must have been more than skin deep: she thinks the red Kryptonite is in Clark's system. Lois, still at the table and now sputtering, says, "He wasn't good enough for me anyway." For once, I'd agree. Lois grabs another dessert off the table and digs in as MamaKent heads out to try to find Clark before Lex does...

...and Jimmy walks in. They let him into the mansion? What the fuck is up with this security team? Seriously. Somebody should have taken Jimmy out with a bullet to the damn forehead. Not to rub salt in the wound, but do you really expect ever to get an Emmy nomination when you don't even take your own show seriously, people? ...Where were we? Oh yeah: Jimmy walks in holding the vial from Star's shop. He calls it "mugwort," and says that it's a delegating success story. Unlike this show. Jimmy says that once this substance hits Lois's skin, her pumpkin ride will be over. Lois complains about Lana: "What does she have that I don't?" Let's see...contract with the devil? Check. Preternatural good looks? Got it. She's about nine years younger? Less abrasive than a Brillo pad? Lois licks her finger. "It's so weird to see her acting like a girl," Jimmy says. Oh, dude, please don't try to pick a fight with girls like that. Chloe walks hesitantly toward Lois and holds out the green vial. Conveniently, it has a spray nozzle. Lois asks what it is. Chloe says it's to help break the infatuation spell; she says it's time to get those glass slippers back. Lois slaps Chloe's hand away, sending the vial rolling across the table. "You know what? Stop making fun of my feelings!" Lois yells, shoving Chloe. Chloe falls on the floor, hard. Jimmy, sensing danger, decides to not help Chloe up, but instead dives to catch the vial. Strangely, it's the correct instinct. He catches it in mid-air. Lois, hovering over Chloe, tells her that just because Chloe never got Clark is no reason to take it out on Lois. Jimmy sprays Lois, right in the face. The green mist takes some of the bright shine off her lipstick. Lois looks around and says, "Uh..." She says that this is awkward: "Please tell me I was going to a costume party." I have a very strange pang of pity for Lois at this moment, which would seem to go against the name of this site. Luckily, it doesn't last. Chloe and Jimmy exchange smiles. It's a bit creepy, given the circumstances.
