And Baby Makes Three - 
by J-Unit
I have to say, the fourth season of Smallville has really left me underwhelmed. As we push on towards the last three or four episodes of the season, I am going to admit that I am not as eagerly anticipating what will happen at the end of this season as compared with the first three. As a reader e-mailed to me, I even let the television calendar lap me by not getting this recap up before a new episode aired. So please forgive me, as I never intended to adopt a Television Without Pity update schedule, it just happened. Anyway, on to the recap.
As the episode starts, we see two teenagers speeding down the road in a vintage muscle car. The girl in the car is pregnant, and the guy driving her looks absolutely lost. There is a little bit of a problem with the pregnancy, and he is on the phone with 9-1-1 saying that he needs help. As many of the problems in Smallville, the trouble they are about to have is something that you really can't fix in a hospital or by calling the police.
Taking another look at the young woman, her stomach is starting to move around like there is something big in there. Don't laugh, I know she is pregnant, but this baby doesn't look like it is just going to be a tough labor, it's trying to break out of mama like something out of Species II. When the guy sees that this is happening, he pulls off to the side of the road, and like any responsible father-to-be decides to leave the mother of his baby alone while she deals with the pregnancy. I am going to take a wild guess and say that he really wasn't that excited about being a father.
Just as our model parent is running off, the baby decides it is coming out, and it must have been one hell of a labor, because instead of a little crying, there was instead a huge explosion of energy. Needless to say, it looks like the mom did not make it. The explosion was so powerful, it sent a bunch of debris onto the road nearby, just as Clark and Lana were driving by. I am not sure where these two were going. Last episode we were led to believe that maybe they would try a relationship again, but wherever they went it look like they were driving Lois' GMC Envoy and not the Jeep Liberty Lois has had since last season. Actually, it looks like an Envoy in the color of Lana's Liberty from last season. Consistency writers, consistency.
