Linda Lake shows up to express her anger that Clark beat her to the punch, but she vows to have the last laugh. She goes to her editor and asks him to run her story, and in the process she delivers perhaps the most extraordinarily brilliant and awful line ever: “My blog had more hits than the Chicago mob.”

Things get bad fast as the paparazzi storm the Kent farm. Chloe makes her way in while Clark is on the phone with his mom, who was removed from her Senate seat thanks to his revelation. Aww, Mama Kent is still around.

Linda Lake holds a press conference claiming that Clark is responsible for mass destruction and the meteor. showers, and that he’s just the first wave of a full-on alien invasion that was almost stopped by a real hero, Lex Luthor.

Clark tries to address these claims by talking to the cops, but they take Linda’s side for no real reason and attack him when he refuses to undergo testing. He finds Chloe and tells her to run. She wants to undo what happened, and his only solution is the Legion’s time travel ring

Lois reads Linda’s smear article and responds with a hilarious “Hell no.” She tries to find Tess Mercer to ask her to print a retraction, but the cops are there and try to arrest her. Clark speeds in to save her and brings her back to the barn to use the magic time traveling ring.

Unfortunately, Linda overheard Clark and Chloe talking about it, so she’s there with Kryptonite and the Legion Ring. She’s excited to use the ring to go back in time and get scoops before any other reporter. That’s a pretty lame use of a time travel ring.
