As Kal-El, Clark returns to Smallville and embarks on Jor-El's crusade for the Stones of Power. Lana studies art in Paris and dates Jason Teague. Lex finds the Crystal of Fire in Egypt, but "Clark" steals it and stashes it in the cave before Martha saves him with a piece of black kryptonite. Jonathan awakes from a three-month coma, and Lois Lane vows to avenge her cousin Chloe's death.

Clark meets a young man with a power of speed that exceeds his own, but the boy lacks responsibility for his actions. Also, Lex finds a manuscript that appears to be some sort of Kryptonian map.

This is a 30 minute video as something went wrong with the recording and I recapped what I had seen after watching it, I reacted to the last 10 minutes of the episode and then found out I had also recorded the first 10 minutes.

Lionel Luthor, using one of the Kryptonian stones, attempts to swap bodies with Lex but inadvertently transfers bodies with Clark, leading to him learning a few secrets, including that of Clark's powers.
