Season 3 Episode 6 Relic (original air date 11-05-03).

There was a murder in 1961. Was the right man convicted of the crime? The husband of the murdered woman blames a drifter that looks like Clark. And in the picture, the drifter is wearing a necklace with Kryptonian markings. In the caves, Clark and Jonathan find the same markings on the walls. Clark touches the image and receives visions of the past. Could Jor-El be involved? Later as Clark is walking down the street, he is thrown into the sixties and meets Louise. Later in the barn, Lana and Clark go through some of her aunt's belongings. Clark gets another vision from the past. The drifter and Lana's aunt (Louise) were lovers. At Luthor Corp. Lex asks Lionel why his grandfather was arrested for robbery. Lionel confesses that his parents weren't rich. That he was from suicide slums. Meanwhile Clark and Lana investigate the old barn were Louise was killed. Clark gets another vision that Lachlan Luthor killed Louise when the bullets ricocheted from hitting Joe (the drifter). At home Clark touches his grandfather rifle and gets another vision. His grandfather met Joe. Clark then goes through more of his grandfather's possessions. At the courthouse, Clark pretends to be Joe. The Mayor thinks hes seeing a ghost and admits that he was behind Lachlan trying to kill Joe. And Louise was an accident. The Mayor is arrested and Lana's uncle gets out of jail. At the mansion, Lex confronts Lionel about his grandparents death. Lionel then admits that his parents were murdered. Lex suspects his dad. Clark and Jonathan go to the caves. Clark sees that Joe put the Kryptonian necklace in the wall. The necklace was a document of information. Clark sees that Joe (Jor-El) hid the metal piece from his father. His trip to earth was a rite of passage. Clark suspects that the Kents finding him was not an accident but was planned by Jor-El.
