Clark keeps walking and ends up in the offices of The Torch. "Magic!" Chloe announces, as soon as Clark walks in. Golfin'? Chloe explains that magic is how Marshall started the fire in the electronics lab. There were strips of magnesium powder behind the blackboard. But wasn't the fire in front of the blackboard? Chloe says all Marshall had to do was set off a detonator and "Poof!" Chloe sets off her own fire on a black block on a desk. First off, the fire alarm doesn't go off here? Next, Principal Asskick is fine with Chloe setting off random fires in a newsroom, where there's tons of paper? Clark only says he didn't see Marshall use a detonator. Chloe holds out a detonator in her right hand says that illusion is the art of misdirection. Chloe says that Marshall is more David Blaine than Wall of Weird. She sprays out the fire with a little water bottle. Clark says that doesn't explain how he cured the horse. Chloe says she's working on that. But she thinks he faked that, too. Clark says he was there and it was real. Chloe won't discount the possibility of mysterious powers, but she says that if Marshall has powers, it's probably from meteor-rock poisoning. Chloe says that Marshall is no more extraterrestrial than Clark. Clunk! Ouch! Clark stares off again. "I'm extra-whatever too!" he thinks.
Hospital. Dropkick is talking to MamaKent in the hall. She says she was surprised to see MamaKent's name. Dropkick says she hasn't had any new patients since the Inquisitor story. But MamaKent isn't really a new patient, is she? MamaKent says that people can be small-minded, and that she hopes things work out for Dropkick. Dropkick says that according the OB chart, the pregnancy has been smooth sailing. MamaKent doesn't think so. MamaKent confirms that everything here is confidential and that Dropkick won't tell Lex anything. MamaKent says that Bo Duke doesn't know she's there. Dropkick assures her of the confidentiality. Dropkick asks whether this visit has to do with Clark's blood or MamaKent's miraculous recovery from a few episodes back. Dropkick says she doesn't know what happened, but if MamaKent wants answers, she'll have to be completely honest. "For your safety. And the baby's," Dropkick adds.
