At the Smallville Medical center, Jonathan gets the bad news that he needs a triple bypass. Clark sees his friend Garrett at the hospital. Garrett's brother is in the hospital for liver failure. During their talk in the waiting room, GGarrett's brother codes and dies. Afterwords someone sends a text to move the body. Since Garrett has no one else he is invited to stay with the Kents. The brother - Vince- is taken to Dr. Tang's lab. She gives him an injection that resurrects him. Later at the Kent's barn a better Vince shows up. But it's short lived Vince collapses and he's bleeding from his eyes. Vince goes back to the hospital. Upon talking to Lana, Clark finds out that Adam bled from his eyes also and had died before. During Jonathan's bypass, Garrett shows up with a bomb laced with Kryptonite. After getting a ride to the lab from the helicopter pilot, Clark gets a vile of the med and brings it back to the hospital. When he gives it to Garrett (for his brother) Clark notices that it reacts the same way his blood does when it is close to Kryptonite. When the police sniper gets a shot he kills Garrett. Vince also dies. But Jonathan survives his operation and makes it home.

At the Youth Crisis center Clark gets a phone call. It's Lana. She's being chased by a gunman. Clark races to the Talon. She's safe and sound. Later the tape of the phone call is played back.

Lionel moves Dr. tang to a new lab with the threat of being deported back to N. Korea. After he leaves she gives Adam an injection of the last dose of the med. Lionel took the rest. Later Clark and Lex go to the lab to see Dr. Tang. Dr. Tang and her assistants are dead. The lab is cleared out. Adam on the run kidnaps Lana. He wants his belongings from his apartment. Lana takes him to a storage facility. Upon going through his belongings he realizes that his three back up viles are gone. Lana and Adam have a struggle and Lana gets away. She calls Clark at the crisis center. Because of a downed telephone line (lying in water with Kryptonite rocks) it's the same phone call as before. Clark realizes where she is and gets there in time to save her. Adam sees Clark take the bullet. As he's dying he tells Clark that he now understands why Lionel wanted him to watch Clark. Finally at Luthorcorp, Lionel offers a position to a doctor to take over the study. We find out that Lionel has a rare liver disease also. At the end he is contemplating suicide.
