Martha catches a lungful of kryptonite-irradiated spores and slips into a coma. Clark, who temporarily loses his powers by breathing in the same spores, is her only hope for survival. Lex sneaks behind Helen’s back at the hospital in his continued search for the truth about Clark.
Lex recovers his long-lost brother Lucas and uses him in a ploy to buy out his father’s share of the company. But it soon becomes clear that Lucas isn’t to be trusted, and Lex soon finds himself ousted from his own company.
Students are engaging in wild, sometimes suicidal stunts, and Chloe and Pete are the next ones to become “infected”…and they use a piece of red meteor rock to get Clark to join them.
