Darn that Chloe! How dare she offer Lana a ride to Metropolis! Chloe was such a secretive liar! She should have told Lana about Clark right away! Lana had half a mind to leave Chloe's home! But first she had to make Clark understand how deeply he'd hurt her feelings! His parents', too!
Lana stuck out her thumb. Maybe she should show some leg.
As soon as she hiked up her cute, pink skirt, a car pulled up.
"Want a ride, girlie?"
"Oh, thank you!" Lana gushed, nodding emphatically and wrinkling her nose.
Tragically, she was never seen again.
Darn.
(This was riffing off the first episode of season 3. Lana traveled back and forth to Metropolis about three times in that episode, all by herself, and she didn't seem to have a car with her when she was in Metropolis confronting Red!K!Clark. You'd think something would have happened, during the necessary eighteen hours of hitchhiking!)
