Once inside the school, Lois tries to engage a group of fellow alums by reminding them she was in Chess Club with them. "I sat through an entire game once!" Surprisingly, they don't remember her and wander off without acknowledging her. Undeterred, Lois moves on to a group of guys all wearing their letterman jackets. They don't remember her, either, even when she reminds them they used to all hang out behind the school and smoke. Well, she chewed gum, but still! Even though she must have just recently been all over the news for having been tortured by (and bringing down) that Godfrey fellow, no one recognizes her at all. She's just shocked. Clark drags her away. As they pass by the check-in table, a young woman sees Clark and calls him over. "What happened to the bumbling nerd?" she asks, giving him the sex-eyes. Her name is Suzanne and she goes "Bawk, bawk, Crows!" when Clark recognizes her. Either she was once a mutant chicken-crow hybrid, or she was the school's ornithologically misinformed mascot. Lois smiles darts at this woman. Suzanne gives Clark his name tag and then asks if Lois is his date. "I went to school here, people," Lois says to everyone. No one responds, so Lois starts rifling through the name tags. She finds one for Lana and shows it to Clark. Lois, sad, assumes Lana will be showing up, but Clark assures her she's not. "I forgot how many memories you had here," Lois says. Woman, he told you in the loft just the night before! Clark sees Chloe's name tag on the table and smiles wistfully.

He heads to the school's newspaper room. Chloe's Wall of Weird is empty, but someone was nice enough to leave it unpainted so that Clark can see the faded outline of where the pictures used to be. "It started out as a scrapbook that just kind of mutated," the Chloe of his memory says. Young Chloe has flippy hair and a pink flower tucked behind one ear. "So what do you think?" she asks, grinning from ear to ear. Lois comes into the room behind him, drawing him back to the present. She apologizes for bringing him back. "Oh! My! God!" a girl says behind them. They turn to see a young student, her hair in pigtails. A plaid-clad boy is with her, holding a banner that reads "Welcome back, Chloe!" "You were friends with Chloe Sullivan!" the girl gushes. Chloe must be awful at faking her death if people were expecting her to show up at her high school reunion. [Plus, why are these currently enrolled students here at all? Beat it! - Z] "What happened to her?" the boy asks. "I mean, she was the rising star of the Daily Planet like she always dreamed and now--" The girl cuts in: "It's like she just vanished! Like someone found out that she knew too much!" The boy nods his support of this theory. Clark tells them Chloe's not coming. The kids look sad, and then the girl recognizes Lois. Lois is thrilled someone finally remembers her, but then the girl goes on: "You dated the Green Arrow!" She wonders what it's like to date a superhero. Lois makes sure that Clark hears her say that it wasn't a big deal, but that she'd date another one. "So this is all that's left of The Torch?" Clark asks. The boy, who my closed captioning says is named Clayton, assures him that the paper is alive and well and online. "The Wall of Weird has gone viral," the girl adds. Grandpa Clark remembers a time before the YouTubes and whatnots. The young Torchettes share their theory that the Blur once went to Smallville High and that Chloe wrote about his mystery saves in the school paper. "I wouldn't waste any more time on the Blur," Grandpa Clark mopes. "Seems he's gone away, and I'm not so sure he's coming back." Lois, trying once again to cheer him up, says that the Blur has been an inspiration to these kids. Clayton says maybe it's a good thing the Blur didn't show up for the reunion: "He would have stolen your thunder, Clark!" "What thunder?" Clark asks. Cut to...
