EPISODE SYNOPSES:

  1. Pilot

Written by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar; Directed by: David Nutter

Clark Kent, who arrived from the planet Krypton in a meteor shower, grows into a teenager, raised by his adoptive parents, Jonathan and Martha, the only people who know his origin. Clark's best friends are classmates Pete Ross, Chloe Sullivan and Lana Lang, a popular cheerleader who doesn't know that Clark loves her. Lana dates Smallville High School's star football quarterback, Whitney Fordman. When Clark makes a lifesaving rescue of Lex Luthor, head of Smallville Fertilizer Plant No. 3, Lex and Clark forge an unlikely friendship. Meanwhile, after emerging from a 12-year coma, Jeremy Creek (Adrian Mcmorran), who was lashed to a stake as a prank when the shower hit and now has the power to electrify things, seeks revenge on Smallville High School until Clark foils him.


2. Metamorphosis

Written by Alfred Gough & Miles Millar; Directed by: Michael Watkins and Philip Sgriccia

Clark discovers that a fellow high school student, Greg Arkin (Chad E. Donella), has been attacked by Kryptonite-affected bugs. Greg has taken on the "eat, molt, mate, die" life cycle of an insect--with Lana as his prey. Clark must rush to save her without revealing his superpowers. Meanwhile, Lex possesses Lana's Kryptonite necklace and ponders what to do with the strange stone.


3. Hothead

Written by Greg Walker; Directed by: Greg Beeman

Clark and Lex defy their respective fathers. Clark joins the football team, against Jonathan's wishes, ultimately discovering that the coach, Walt Arnold (Dan Lauria), has been altered by Kryptonite and is using fire-starting abilities to hurt anyone who might prevent him from winning. Meanwhile, Lex battles his own father, Lionel Luthor (recurring guest star John Glover), for control of LuthorCorp.


4. X-Ray

Written by Mark Verheiden; Directed by James Frawley

Clark reels from his first flashes of x-ray vision. His shock is compounded when he witnesses a bank robbery, apparently by his friend, Lex. Unsure of how to control this new power, Clark nonetheless puts it to use when a Smallville teen who has developed shape-shifting abilities threatens Lana.

Written by Doris Egan; Directed by Chris Long

Clark is wracked by haunting visions when he meets an old woman, Cassandra Carpenter (Jackie Burroughs), who can see the future. Lex schemes to use Cassandra's gift to glimpse his own destiny and learn more about Clark's secret. Meanwhile, a released serial killer, Harry Bollston (George Murdock), who is now a bitter old man in a nursing home, discovers a "fountain of youth" and reverts to a teenager. He then seeks revenge on the descendants of jurors who put him in jail decades ago.


7. Craving

Written by Michael Green; Directed by: Philip Sgriccia

Clark must save Pete from being literally devoured by a female classmate, Jodi Melville (Amy Adams), whose diet of Kryptonite-affected vegetables causes her to shed weight faster than she can handle, forcing her to satisfy her ravenous hunger by gorging on any available food source. Meanwhile, Lex gets one step closer to the truth about Clark after funding a study on the green meteor fragments.

9. Rogue

Written by Mark Verheiden; Directed by David Carson

Clark's secret identity is jeopardized when a corrupt policeman, Sam Phelan (Cameron Dye), witnesses Clark using his superhuman powers and coerces him into joining forces.
