Clark shows up at Grumpy Gramps's hotel room. "Clark?" Grumpy says, opening the door. Clark says he doesn't want their relationship to end before it ever started. Gramps invites Clark in. He's packing stuff into a suitcase and says he's running late. Clark gives Gramps a photo album: school plays, camping trips, back yard activities. A true, guaranteed snooze experience. "I wanted you to see our family the way I do," Clark says. He says they're more than arguments and overdue bills. There's an entire album devoted to cow ennui alone. Gramps hands Clark a cashier's check to give to MamaKent. He says she can use it whenever. "Why don't you give it to her yourself?" Clark asks. Gramps just says he's sorry. Clark whiningly says he doesn't understand how a man who hasn't seen his family for twenty years can just walk away. Maybe he has other family. Clark leaves the room.

Smallville High hallway. Principal Asskick finds Reese Lite and says he left three messages with her parents but never got an answer. She says they've been busy. Asskick says he's been trying to get to know students and parents and suggests he come by that weekend to meet her folks. She says they'll be at the Talon for the spirit party, and that he can meet them then. He says he'll see her there. Uh oh! Old hand! Creepy music plays as Reese Lite sees her hand turn all creepy and wrinkled again.

Chloe's at The Torch. She's looking at a class picture from 1990. Clark walks in. She shows him the photo, which is of a Florida class where three students died of the same aging syndrome. Clark guesses that Reese Lite was involved. Chloe zooms in on a picture of Reese Lite. What school had its yearbook online or even on CD-ROM in 1990? Chloe finds a similar match at a school in 1981. Reese Lite has early-'80s hair! And her picture was online then, too! Chloe can take the internet and digital imaging technology back in time! Chloe says she tracked Reese Lite back to a class of 1921. Clark says Reese Lite is feeding off youth to stay eternally young. Chloe says it takes the Peter Pan Complex to a whole new level. Uh. Yeah. Clark supposes she's going to need another victim, and fast. Chloe moves to call the police. She turns, Clark speeds away and when she looks back to him, he's gone. "Clark?" she asks. He speeds right into some commercials.

The disco ball is back! It's hanging on the Talon stage where Reese Lite stands, looking at the lights and taking in the annoying music that is playing "Be Aggressive" again. Principal Asskick is there and calls out for Reese Lite. She picks up a stage light. She asks what he thinks. "I think you've taken spirit week to a whole new level," he replies. There's that dialogue history repeating itself. He asks about her parents. She tells him that they died over a century ago. "What are you talking about?" he asks. She says she's seen the future and it will be...Oh, wait, that was Prince. She finally comes into the light. She actually doesn't look much older. Just a little chunkier, as if some heavy-duty padding has been added to her face. Still not a lot of wrinkles. "These are the best years of anyone's life," she says. She thunks Principal Asskick in the head with her stage light.
