Quotes:

Lex Luthor: Clark, you can't save the world. All you'll end up with is a Messiah complex and a lot of enemies.

Be Careful With New Friends and Opportunities

While interviewing Lex Luthor in his mansion, three thieves pass through the walls, steal the safe, and Chloe Sullivan suffers a serious accident. Lex Luthor brings doctors from Metropolis to heal her. Meanwhile, the gang invites Whitney Fordman, who is frustrated after losing the scholarship in a university, to join the group without telling him what they do for living. When Whitney is tattooed with a green substance, he also achieves the power.

"Kinetic" is a reasonable, but still good episode of "Smallville". In this episode, Clark Kent has almost a secondary participation in the plot, which is centered in the character Whitney Fordman. He leans to be careful in the selection of new friends and opportunities. My vote is eight.
