At the Daily Planet, a woman arrives in the newsroom and wants Chloe to make copies for her. It’s Linda Lake, a new gossip columnist, and expects Chloe to make copies for her. Chloe isn’t too thrilled at the fact Lake has reported on an athlete’s steroid use. Outside the athlete, Mike Dawson, confronts Lake, mad that she ruined his life. Lake is unconcerned until he threatens her and then she runs around a nearby building… and disappears. When he approaches a water fountain, he’s pulled in, held down, and drowned.

Later Lana meets with Chloe at The Planet to tell her Lex proposed, and she hasn’t given him an answer yet, and something is stopping her from saying it. She confirms Chleo’s suspicion that it’s Clark. Chloe tells Lana to talk to Clark and settle matters. As they leave, the water cooler bubbles ominously.

The next day, Jimmy is in Smallville to provide someone with Green Arrow Bandit photos… it’s Lois, who pays him for the shots. Although they don’t give much detail, one of them shows an injury on his arm. At the Talon, Chloe sees that Lake has published a story about Lana, the proposal, and her doubts about Clark. Clark is concerned and Chloe tells him she believes Lana is still in love. Clark goes to confront Lex despite Chloe’s protestations.

At the manor, Lex brings in breakfast for Lana and shows her the paper. Lex isn’t thrilled to find out why she has been stalling. Lex goes to see Clark and tells him Lana isn’t there, while Lana gets a call from Chloe but leaves it to voice mail. Lex and Clark has words but Lex is confident Lana will say yes and tells Clark she’s pregnant.

Back in Metropolis, Jimmy goes Chloe with his suspicions that Dawson was murdered rather than committed suicide. Meanwhile Lake is moving into her new office when Lex pays her a visit and has a job for her--to get anything she can on Clark and Lana.

Lois is practicing yoga with Oliver and notices a scratch on his arm, the same as in the photos. She makes a hurried exit and meets Clark at the barn, and confesses her suspicions that Oliver is the Green Arrow Bandit. She wants definitive proof and wants Clark to help her.

Chloe arrives at her apartment to find Clark going through Lois’ photos. Chloe quickly figures out Clark is involved with Green Arrow but he’s angry that she knew about Lana’s pregnancy and didn’t tell him. She briefly blows up at him and then they hug, unaware that Lake has secretly entered the room in her water form while Clark talks about her alien origins.

Lana meets with Chloe and accuses her of publishing their conversation. Chloe eventually convinces her she didn’t publish the story, then mentions that Clark tried to talk to her. Chloe has discovered Lake was caught in the meteor shower and decides she and Lana should investigate.

Lois meets with Clark and admits that Green Arrow might be a good guy, and admits she loves Oliver. He notes she won’t give it up and they set up a plan.

That night they have a group movie night: Oliver, Lois, and Clark. Lois makes an excuse to leave and then Clark and Oliver put their plan into action. Lois calls Oliver with a fake emergency and then actually runs into three robbers. Jimmy is in on her plan and a fight breaks out, but Green Arrow arrives and demonstrating remarkable strength, tosses one of them away. They run and Jimmy snaps pictures while Lois takes a kiss. She quickly realizes something is up and then Oliver shows up behind them as himself. “Green Arrow” speeds away then unmasks to reveal he’s Clark, quite pleased with the kiss.

While on the phone with Lana, Chloe goes into Lake’s computer and discovers she has a story prepared for Clark, the “Farmboy From Another Planet.” Lake comes in and the two spar while Lana listens in on their vague conversation. Lake prepares to hit the upload/publish button when Chloe smashes the computer. Chloe confronts Lake over her abilities and the tabloid reporter has killed others. Chloe makes a run for it as Lake tries to kill her with a nail gun, but runs out of ammo. Chloe goes down in the elevator and outside into the street, but Lake comes up behind her, solidifies, and attacks her. They fight and Chloe throws her into Lana’s car as it speeds into Lake, scattering her around. The water flows off the car and into the sewers.

Jimmy returns and compares injuries with Chloe, then shows her his photos of Green Arrow and Lois kissing. Chloe figures out that Clark is the one doing the kissing. She meets with Clark later at her apartment where Lois is there. Chloe makes sure that Lois tells Clark everything, including the fact that “Green Arrow” could give Oliver kissing lessons.

Back at The Planet, Lana meets with Chloe who dismisses her near-death experience. Lana still suspects Chloe’s protecting some secret about Clark from what she partially overheard. Chloe tries to reassure her… without much luck. Lana goes to confront Clark and wants to know what Clark was going to say to her. She asks him to trust her but Clark says it’s too late and admits he knows about the baby. She admits that he can’t see her the same way and leave, and as she leaves Clark wishes her happiness with Lex.

Back at the manor, Lex admits he’s nervous and Lana tells him she saw Clark, and she loves him. But she also loves Lex, but feels he deserves more than having her split love. but he convinces her of his feelings and she agrees to marry him.
