Picking up the story from the premiere episode, Clarice (Rebecca Breeds) is determined to learn who hired the hitman responsible for the three River Murders. Facing political pressure, Attorney General Ruth Martin (Jayne Atkinson) leans on Krendler (Michael Cudlitz) to deliver a quick confession. The hitman is brought to Buzzard’s Point to be interrogated, and Clarice must convince Krendler that her behavioral profile is the key to getting this killer to give up his employer.

The two police officers who witnessed the spaceship landing during the meteor shower take Lex and Lana hostage and threaten to kill them unless Lex reveals where he hid the spaceship. While escaping to a "panic room" in the mansion, Lex is hit by a bullet meant for Lana. Fearing Lex may bleed to death, Lana asks him to tell the officers the secret location, but he confesses the ship has been missing for weeks. Meanwhile, Clark discovers that Lana has been researching the spaceship with Lex and fears she is close to discovering his secret.
