Season Seven[]
Tyler and the Weather Girls came to Smallville to enter the Miss Sweet Corn beauty contest. Secretly, Tyler plotted to steal a map inside of a time capsule after hearing the legend of the treasure which was said to be millions of dollars in gold bars. Tyler rudely pushed her way through the crowd and signed her friends and herself up.
Tyler caught on to Carly's plan to steal the treasure of Smallville for herself and used her powers to freeze her to death in a flower shop. While rehearsing at the Talon, Tyler told an upset Tempest that she "took care" of Carly. In an attempt to fit in, Kara Kent entered the pageant and asked the pair for beauty tips but Tyler ignored her and Tempest was rude. Upset by their hostility, Kara left and walked past the flower shop where she spotted the frozen corpse of Carly.
After a rehearsal, Tyler and Tempest went to a back room and talked about Carly and sticking to the plan of using the pageant as a distraction. Jimmy Olsen snapped a photo of them and Tyler went after him.
As Jimmy got into his car, cold air and ice started filling it up through the vents; everything including Jimmy were freezing. He was unable to get out, but saw Tyler in his rear view mirror who had her hand on the trunk using her powers. Just as Jimmy passed out, Kara ripped the door of the car off its hinges, saving him. Tyler witnessed this act.
Kara went back to the Talon backstage to pack her things as she decided to quit when Tyler and Tempest came in to tell her that they know she has powers. They asked her for help in getting the time capsule, showing her a photo of the time capsule. Kara spotted a picture of a Kryptonian medallion in the photo and agreed to help. Thinking she had to get to the map before anyone else, Kara broke into the time capsule herself.
That night, Tyler and Tempest went to the time capsule and see that Kara had already taken the map. They then head off to the pageant and participate until Clark Kent arrives. Secretly they called the police, informing them of the robbery and gave them Kara's name. When Kara was crowned Miss Sweet Corn, the authorities arrived and arrested her for the crime. As she was being placed in the cop car, the Weather Girls stole the map from Kara with a gust of wind.
Tyler and Tempest went to the treasure's location at a gas station in town. They dug the treasure up, but think that it was nothing. Clark appears and the Weather Girls use their powers against him. The elements unearthed meteor rocks that were blown onto Clark weakening him. Kara showed up and stopped Tempest and Tyler while saving her cousin by destroying the meteorites with her heat vision. Both girls were defeated and arrested.
