Is Toys 'R Us even still open? I've never though having a giraffe as a mascot was a good idea unless you're selling neckware or ways to grab things from high places.
Kent kitchen. Clark is asking why Bo Duke is so skeptical about this mouthy new alien they've got in town. Bo's bovine cup is in effect! Bo says that the whole healing thing is like something out of an old revival meeting. Yeah, Bo only believes the unbelievable when strength and destruction are involved. The vet gave the horse a clean bill of health. MamaKent notes that Marshall wouldn't be the first person in town with unusual abilities. I'd really rather be watching that new X-Men movie right now. Clark says that Marshall may not be from town. He says it's crazy and all, but he's starting to think the boy might really be an alien. Clark thinks he might be from Krypton, in fact. Bo looks at Clark like he's the dumbest person in creation, which -- in this instance, at least -- isn't really fair. Bo asks why Clark thinks that. "He said he was," Clark tells him. Oh, well, fine then. Clark says he didn't use the name exactly, but Clark reminds them (and viewers who missed the last episode) that he didn't know what it was called either until Christopher Reeve's guest appearance. Clark tells his folks that he saw Marshall start a fire with his eyes. "What about strength or speed?" MamaKent asks. Well, those are kind of low, but he's got an 18 Dexterity! Bo stops Clark as he answers to platitude the boy into submission. Bo says that even Clark doesn't have the ability to heal. Clark theorizes that different alien beings might develop differently. MamaKent reminds Clark about Christopher Reeve's statement that Clark was the last survivor from his planet. Clark wonders if the scientist might be wrong. "Don'tcha see?" Clark begins. I moan in annoyance. Clark says that if this is true, it means he's not alone anymore. Clark is practically an Al Green song. Bo and MamaKent exchange a look like, "What are we, then?" Clark stares. This episode's director really likes Clark's face.
