Chloe is drawn into an underground gambling ring at school run by foreign exchange student Mikail Mxyzptlk and loses her savings on a football game after Mxyzptlk uses his powers to control all the players - including Clark. When Chloe discovers Mxyzptlk's secret, he kidnaps her and threatens to kill her unless Clark throws the championship game. Meanwhile, Lex threatens Mxyzptlk with deportation unless he uses his powers for Lex's benefit. Also, at the end, Lana's French boyfriend got fired. There were no redeeming qualities to this episode whatsoever. I don't like Mxyzptik at all. This is an episode which made no sense, but finally had a something Clark was vulnerable to other than kryptonite, which is always a nice change. I hear, though, when Mxyzptlk is around, no rules apply.
