Chloe is crusading against the Prom Queen tradition at SHS; she sees prom as the senior class's last party together and sees it needless to cap off four years with a popularity contest. Lana notes that "Chloe Sullivan strikes again" but also remarks "balloons and taffeta seem a little harmless compared to your usual targets." Chloe tries to twist Lana's arm to going stag even if it's just to hear Lifehouse when they get cornered by Dawn Styles who warns Chloe to back off. Chloe is shocked and appalled to find she was nominated for Prom Queen.
