Teenager Clark Kent must cope with his emerging superpowers and his love for classmate Lana Lang. Clark befriends Lex Luthor and thwarts a vengeful former student.

A secret experiment that Lex is conducting at LuthorCorp goes terribly awry and causes the release of a dangerous toxin into the air. Smallville residents infected by the toxin--including Clark, Lana, Lex and Jason--imagine their greatest fears coming true and lapse into a coma. Desperate to find a cure, Clark gives some of his blood to Lex and is stunned at what his friend does with the antidote.

Still distraught over her breakup with Clark, Lana experiments with a dangerous serum that allows her to flatline and see her deceased parents again. A worried Clark rushes to save Lana from hurting herself but ends up being injected with the kryptonite-laced serum by an arrogant medical student. When Clark flatlines, he is able to talk to his dead father, who warns him that Lionel knows his secret. Meanwhile, Lionel continues to get closer to Martha.
