This fifth episode of Season 2 is surprising because it introduces a partnership that few could have imagined- the pure-loving mother Martha Kent with the evil and twisted mind of billionaire Lionel Luthor.
Of course, Lionel's motives are deeper than just believing that Martha would make a good assistant, and that he wants to help keep the Kent farm, which has been in the family for generations, above water.
In the alternate but temporary storyline, Lana, with Clark, discovers that a boy is kept imprisoned by his parents in their home because of the effects that sunlight has on their child. The boy becomes super-strong with exposure to sunlight radiation, similar to Clark's ability. This was a result of LuthorCorp testing that was investigating the mysterious effects of a mysterious green substance.
This is another solid episode.
