Musical football montage. Plays run successfully on both sides. Mxyz looks perplexed. At one point, a football lands, and all the Huskies in a circle pretend to fall back like it was a bomb. Eh. Fun, I guess. Tackling. Pitching. Jumping. Flipping. If you like football, this is sorta kinda interesting in a very abstract no-stakes kind of way. In the stands, Bo and MamaKent cheer. The kid next to them is still wearing that silly hat. Mxyz is still freaking out. He finally glances up at the PA speaker and realizes that something's up.
Sir Mxyz-A-Lot travels down the stadium hall and finds Chloe with her bullshit gadget. "Fancy toy!" he yells. In Russia, toy fancies you! He smashes the gadget to pieces. Chloe pulls back to swing at him. "Stop," he suggests, but it doesn't take. She slugs him. I just saw It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown! this week, and Rebecca and I were giggling over how mean the kids are to each other. They keep talking about how they're going to slug each other, and there's nothing quite like yelling at someone, "You blockhead!" Try it next time Clark does something stupid on the show. Also good for when you're disappointed over the tricks or treats life gives you: "I got a rock." Chloe says that Mxyz seems to be broken, and that it sucks to have to play fair. Mxyz pulls Chloe aside and says that, in his country, you don't survive if you don't adapt to the unexpected. He pulls out a knife. Well, that's a strategy, I guess.
On the field, there's twenty seconds left in the game. The clock is winding down. The opposing time fumbles a snap, and the Crows get the turnover. Everyone on the sidelines cheers. So do MamaKent, Bo, and Stupid Hat Man. The Crows take the last time-out as Mxyz suddenly appears behind Clark and calls him over. Shouldn't Clark be on the field right now? Mxyz shows Clark Chloe's cute press badge. He tells Clark that if the Crows score another touchdown, Chloe's dead. But does that cover the spread? Of blood, I mean. Also, if Clark doesn't go on the field and lose the game, Chloe's dead. If Clark were to suddenly learn to fly and go away? Dead Chloe. Lots of luck, Clark. Mxyz goes back to the stadium backstage. Clark is a little shellshocked when Jason tells him he wants an ace back Montana post. Well I want a Philly cheesesteak, Jason. Who's gonna get me that?
