SMALLVILLE: "FIERCE"
Eva Marcille, winner of America's Next Top Model, will guest-star in "Fierce," the Thursday, Oct. 11 episode of Smallville on The CW.
Here's how the network describes the episode:
"Kara (Laura Vandervoort) desperately wants to make friends and fit in on Earth, but Clark (Tom Welling) tells her to keep a low profile until she can get her powers under control. Despite his warnings, when the 'Miss Sweet Corn' beauty pageant comes around, Kara signs up and meets the competition -- Tyler (Eva Marcille), Carly (Elisa King) and Tempest (Christine Chatelain) -- three meteor-infected vixens who plan to use their powers to steal a treasure map to the hidden Smallville time capsule. After Tyler witnesses Kara using her powers, the girls pretend to be her friends, but are really planning to use her for their devious plan."
"Fierce" was written by Holly Harold and directed by Whitney Ransick.
