Storyline

On the last day of Smallville High before graduation, the emotionally disturbed and frustrated photographer of the Torch, Brendan Nash, feels rejected by the Universities and decides to abduct some schoolmates to stay with him forever in a replica of the school. He uses his power of 'Medusa Touch' of turning people into stone by mere touch, and brings Lana, Chloe, and other successful schoolmates to the place. While Clark teams up with the nosy Lois to find the other students, he also talks with Jonathan and Martha over his college choices after graduation. Meanwhile, Genevieve and Jason Teague kidnap Lionel and Lex Luthor and hold them hostage in a remote mountain cabin and torture both of them to try to retrieve the second mystical stone that Lionel took from them.

User Reviews

High school never ends?

A meteor-infected senior of Smallville High School literally wants to keep high school from ending in an episode that contains a less-than-strong sub-plot but a much more intriguing season story arc.

This senior has the ability to freeze others with his touch, captivating them in a sort of mannequin-like state. His captives include Chloe, Lois, and then Lana. Meanwhile, the Teagues have captured the Luthors, and Genevieve is trying to pry information out of Lionel regarding the location of one of the three power stones. This results in a terrific chase between the Luthors and Jason in the Smallville forest.

This episode is less-than-stellar when regarding the storyline from the episode, but the continuous quest for the uniting of the three stones reaches a climactic point.
