AKA The One Directed by Allison Mack

“Power,” tonight’s brand-spanking-new episode of Smallville, marks the directorial debut of Chloe — I mean the actress who plays her, Allison Mack.

Since Mack happens to be one of those entertainers it’s impossible not to adore, I’m urging all of my fellow Smallville groupies to please show your love by watching and helping to raise the ratings for her latest endeavor through the roof.

“Power” has two major plotlines: Clark’s discovery that Lana is missing and Tess’ breaking into one of the numerous dark, dank LutherCorp facilities.

And, while we’re on the subject, why not check out Mack’s official website — which, unlike many celebrities, she actually contributes to — to learn more about what she’s got going on these days. Sure, on a recent visit I learned she likes to drop a well-placed F-bomb every now and then, but who doesn’t given the current state of the U.S. economy?

A sneak peek at “Power,” featuring Kristin Kreuk as Lana Lang, follows. Again, the time to tune in is 8pm EST tonight (January 29th) on The CW. Don’t forget.
