Ryan Kelley

A child who can read minds escapes his cruel parents and finds happiness with the Kents. But that joy may be brief when his parents come looking for the boy so they can use his psychic gifts in a life of crime.

Ryan (from "Stray") returns and Clark has to save him from Dr. Garner of the Summerholt Research Facility. Meanwhile, Aunt Nell leaves Smallville, and Lex wants to expand the plant but runs afoul of the mayor.

The team search for a serial bomber whose latest pipe bomb maimed the wrong target and whose three previous bombings in 1999, 2001 and 2003, collectively blinded a man and killed two others.
