DarkCity545 · 5th November 2002, 01:30 AM

Swimmer Troy goes under during a swim practice and emerges a dead old man. His girlfriend Chrissy has a mysterious past and kissed Troy just before he died.

Another boy, Russell, dies of old age as well. It turns out Chrissy is a mutant (but not a krypto-mutant?) she's been around since at least 1929) who sucks the age out of others to keep herself young.

She's go after the new principal as Chloe figures out what's going on and Clark races to the rescue and Chrissy dissolves of old age without getting her final victim.

Lana wonders about a man other than her father who was having an affair with her mother and finds out he may have been her father.

A new principal arrives, who was previously in charge of Lex's school, and is suspicious of Lex because of Lionel's machinations and takes it out on Clark before he gets hauled off in the ambulance.

And Martha calls her father to provide money when the farm looks like it will go under financially, despite the fact Jonathan and her father have issues and Clark has never met his grandfather. His parents reveal that Clark's superpowers as a child were why they never let him get close or reconciled, they did not think they could trust him with the knowledge, pretty sad for a daughter not to be able to trust her own father.

and Clark vows to try and find a way to bond with him.

I was a bit disappointed in this ep, maybe because it reminded me so much of "Inca Mummy Girl" from "Buffy", so it didn't seem very original. Also, i think they tried to fit too much into the episode - with Clark's grandad, and the mystery with Lana's parents, and the new principle, it seemed like the supernatural part hardly got mentioned, then was just squeezed in right at the end.

Something else that bothered me - last week, Martha got hired by Lionel Luthor. How come that wasn't mentioned at all this week? And if the farm was in financial trouble, why not ask the new boss for an advance?

I agree that it is nice to have a villain not made by the rocks, but how did she get that way? They could have come up with maybe just a regular human bad guy for once.

Overall, this episode just left me feeling cheated. Too many questions, and no answers. :disgust:
