Chloe is working in the Torch* when she notices the power doesn't work, there is no one in the halls, and the only other person she can find has been turned into a plastic mannequin. She's stuck inside a model of the Smallville High building, on the last day of class with no idea how she got there. Eventually she runs into two other students who inform her that they're being watched. Brendan, a photographer at SHS, comes out and reveals that he's controlling it all. "Some of us didn't get into our dream colleges like you," he snipes at her, trying to convince her to stay 'in high school' with him so she won't be disappointed. Brendan shows her that he turns the people into mannequins with the clear threat that if she tries to escape, she'll be one too.
