After a meteor shower bursts from the heavens, raining destruction on the unsuspecting citizens of Smallville, years pass, and the healing process leaves the town's inhabitants with scars and secrets. From the ashes of tragedy, a popular yet awkward teen attempts to decipher the meaning of his life and his clouded past. As he struggles with the transition from boyhood to adulthood, Clark finds that his strength and strange abilities set him uncomfortably apart from his peers.

"Asylum"

Lex attempts to convince Clark to help him escape, but when Clark refuses, he attempts to escape by himself. His resulting capture forces Lionel to send him in for electroshock therapy to erase his memory. Ian Randall (Jonathan Taylor Thomas), Eric Summers (Shawn Ashmore), and Van band together in an attempt to steal Clark's powers and escape. They get the meteor rocks but Ian betrays Van and kills him with a barbell before Clark arrives. Meanwhile, at the hospital after a near fatal accident caused by Lex, Lana meets another patient named Adam Knight (Ian Somerhalder), who pushes her to fight the pain and finish her rehab. Lex then has his electroshock therapy and Ian helps Eric leech himself onto Clark, so he can get his powers, but after getting the powers he becomes rowdy and betrays Ian before Clark manages to stop him and get his powers back again.

"Delete"

When Chloe uncovers a secret experiment at Summerholt Institute, someone begins sending mind-controlling emails to her friends with orders to kill her. Clark and Lex discover the person responsible named Molly Griggs (Missy Peregrym), but cannot tie her to Dr. Lawrence Garner (Martin Cummins). Lana decides to rent the apartment above the café to Adam, even though she feels he is hiding something dangerous about his past.

"Hereafter"

Clark learns his schoolmate Jordan (Joseph Cross) can foresee the future death of anyone he touches. Jordan warns him that Lana is going to die in a fire in the next few days. Clark sets out to prevent Lana's death. Jordan also tells him that he didn't see a death in Clark's future. Chloe, suspicious of Adam, begins investigating him, and uncovers disturbing news.

"Obsession"

When Clark is forced to use his powers in front of another student, Alicia Baker (Sarah Carter), he is surprised to find out she has powers of her own. The two develop a bond through their shared secret, but things change when Alicia becomes obsessive about sharing Clark with anyone else, especially Lana, who, fearing for her own safety, asks Lex to get rid of Adam.

"Resurrection"

While his father awaits surgery, Clark befriends a teenage boy named Garrett Davis (James Kirk) whose brother Vince (Tahmoh Penikett) just died from liver failure. Everyone is shocked when Vince shows up at the Kents' alive. When his liver starts failing again, Garrett straps a kryptonite bomb to himself and demands that Vince be given Jonathan's liver or he will blow up the building. Clark learns that Lionel has been using a sample of his blood to bring the dead back to life. He tries to stop Garrett from doing any more damage but he hesitates. Garrett is finally killed when the police shoot him down.

"Crisis"

Clark receives a panicked call from Lana and hears a gunshot before the line goes dead, but when he arrives at the Talon he discovers she is alive and well. Clark, Chloe, and Lana realize the phone call came from one day into the future, and that Adam is the one who will shoot Lana. When Lex takes Clark to the LuthorCorp lab where Adam is being kept, he finds all of the staff murdered, and Adam missing. Adam then arrives at the Kent farm and knocks out Chloe and Jonathan and then kidnaps Lana before Clark follows Adam and Lana to the rugby grounds where Adam shoots Lana. Clark then arrives and finally stops Adam, who dies.
