Storyline

While hiding the spaceship key in the farm's storm cellar, Martha Kent breathes some unknown meteor-rock spores and immediately gets ill. She is sent to Smallville Medical Center under the care of Dr. Helen Bryce, and the results of her blood tests are sent to the Disease Control Agency (DCA). Because DCA agents are coming to inspect the farm and put it under quarantine, Clark and Pete hurry to move the spaceship. Clark inhales some of the spores and also gets sick, weakening him. The DCA agents find the key, so Jonathan Kent must retrieve it from a military base, expecting a miracle to save the lives of Martha and Clark. With Clark having lost his powers, Helen takes a sample of his blood for examination, and begins to suspect Clark's secret. Meanwhile, Lex fears losing Helen when she gets an offer to leave Smallville to study medicine at a prestigious hospital on the East Coast. Lex also finds out about Clark's condition and secretly takes Helen's medical file on him.

Quotes

Clark Kent: [after noticing how distant Chloe was acting towards him] Is Chloe ok?
Lana Lang: What happened to you really affected her... me too. It was really hard seeing you sick. Guess I somehow always thought of you as invincible.
Clark Kent: Now you think I'm just human.
Lana Lang: I guess that's my way of saying that you mean a lot to me, Clark. And I know it's not that eloquent...
[watching Chloe out of the corner of her eye, and Chloe sees Clark and Lana talking]
Lana Lang: ... but I guess some people are just better with words than others.

Miraculous Aircraft

While hiding the aircraft key in the storm cellar of the farm, Martha Kent breathes some unknown poisoned spores and immediately gets ill. She is sent to the Smallville hospital under the care of Dr. Helen Bryce, and the results of her blood tests are sent to DCA. When the agents come to inspect the place, Clark and Pete Ross come first to move the aircraft, and Clark also inhales the spores getting also very sick. The DCA agents find the key, and Jonathan tries to retrieve it, expecting a miracle to save the lives of Martha and Clark Kent.

In "Fever", it is disclosed the miraculous healing power of the aircraft. The story is very tense, with a good plot point. Chloe Sullivan discloses her secret love masqueraded as friendship for a feverish Clark Kent. My vote is nine.

Title (Brazil): "Febre" (Fever")
