Trademark Chloe snark has returned. "So many cheerleaders, so little cyanide" is one of the quips we are likely to hear.
 Abby is now described as "a rather homely girl with acne scars and frizzy hair."
 Lois makes a comment that, with all of the pressures of the new season on the football team, he will have "all the pressure of a team and a school and an entire town counting on you to be their hero." Aww. Clark is going to be Lois’s hero.
 Although Abby claims that she saw Brett’s veins go all poppy and that sort of thing, this may only be a psychological visage seen in a mirror. in other words, don’t go counting on Abby making Lana ugly. It seems most just think Brett went crazy. Lois interviews a beefy football player and asks if this is the first time "Brett jumped the tracks."
 We get some background on Dr. Fine, and how she was overlooked when the pretty girls got their way. "With one surgery, that all changed," she said.
 Lois might get into trouble for snooping a bit too closely.
 There’s a scene with Lana in bed at Smallville Medical Center, with Jason watching over her in vigil. "I’m sure you can’t hear me, Lana, but if you had any idea how much you mean to me..." he says. Of course, "Mr. Hope-I’m-Not-Interrupting-Anything" Lex shows up behind him, also to visit Lana.

Here’s the spy report we received from the Templeton High School filming locations of Smallville: "Chloe is definately back. She has befriended Lois. We worked on a scene that took placee in the parking lot and in thee school. on Tuesday. Today we filmed a flashback scene to 2001 of a football prep rally. Lana is sitting on the dunk tank, and Whitney is leading the football team to the podium. He then proceeds to get Clark to try and throw a footbal at the dunk tank, which he proceeds to miss, due to his weakened power from Lana’s Kryptonite nacklace. During this scene, the team mascot comes running up, and her hood is taken of by a member of the football scenee, and it turns out to be Abby, a pimple faced girl (skinny, not heavy) with glasses. The football player starts calling her Scabby Abby, which thee crowd starts chanting. Clark sticks up for her, but she runs away in tears. Th next scene takes place at the prep rally present day. Clark is now in the dunk tank, and Lois is throwing the football, cheered on by Chloe, which then drops Clark into the tank."
 We still don’t know if Whitney’s presence means Eric Johnson is returning, or if he’s played by a new actor. We’re hoping EJ is involved, although, he might still be honeymooning at the time of filming.
