Storyline

Lana Lang finds some poems from a secret admirer in the gravestone of her parents in the cemetery. Later, she meets the author, Byron Moore, a weird teenager kept locked by his parents in the basement of their farmhouse. They believe the boy is abused by his parents, but soon they realize that he was the subject of an experiment of a laboratory of Luthor Corp, which made him powerfully evil and super-strong when he comes into contact with sunlight. Meanwhile, Martha Kent is invited to work as the assistant of Lionel Luthor, and she accepts the invitation under the reluctance of Jonathan Kent.

No matter how strong Byron is, there is no way he could keep the helicopter down, unless he is very, very heavy. He would just pull himself towards the helicopter because there is nothing holding him to the ground

Close to Luthor

Lana Lang finds some poems from a secret admirer in the gravestone of her parents in the cemetery. Later, she meets the author, Byron Moore (Sean Faris), a weird teenager kept locked by his parents in the basement of their farmhouse. They believe the boy is abused by his parents, but sooner they realize that he was the subject of an experiment of a laboratory of Luthor Corp, being powerfully evil. Meanwhile, Martha Kent is invited to work as the assistant of Lionel Luthor, and she accepts the invitation under the reluctance of Jonathan Kent.

The greatest surprise of this episode is Martha Kent working with Lionel Luthor. I honestly would never believe to see this partnership in "Smallville". The lead story of Byron is only reasonable. The music score is excellent as usual. My vote is eight.
