- Just when Lois moves back in with Clark, without even asking, he receives a blue crystal. However, it captures them for deportation to the icy Phantom Zone. Kara finds them there and shows them a portal back to earth, which Lois is send through first. But a phantom manages to possess her: the phantom is none other then Zod's wife Faora. She leaves a trail of gruesome killings behind while searching for Davis Bloome. He is in fact her and Zod's son and she starts his transformation into a Kryptonian. Meanwhile Clark and Kyra are badly wounded but return too. Tess is on their trail and suspects Chloe, who seeks Oliver's help to steal Tess's supercomputer. But they underestimated its effect on Chloe.—KGF Vissers
- Clark is surprised to find Lois Lane knocking at his door holding a box of various things. She announces that she is taking him up on his offer and moving back in. Clark wonders if it will be too much working and living together, but Lois says the Talon apartment is too crowded with Chloe and Jimmy.
Lois gives Clark a package that was on his doorstep. There is no return address, and inside Clark finds the Crystal of Knowledge. It glows when he picks it up. Lois thinks it's a paperweight. The house starts to shake and Lois grabs Clark's arm, telling him to drop it, while Clark tells Lois to run. Before they can, they are trapped inside a Kryptonian Phantom Zone disc that whisks them away, smashing through the window.
Chloe arrives at the farmhouse carrying some more of Lois' things. Surprised that Lois is not around, she notices the broken window and a large blue crystal on the floor. She quickly realizes it must be Clark's missing Kryptonian Crystal of Knowledge, so she puts it in her bag. But immediately she turns to find Tess Mercer standing behind her. Tess is skeptical of Chloe's explanation of the broken window and abruptly demands "Where's the crystal?" Her suspicions are further raised when Chloe refers to a "NASA-caliber rock", since Tess has never told Chloe that the "supercomputer" was a crystal. Tess says she has just registered an energy surge at the exact spot Chloe is standing, and Chloe queries why Clark, the copyboy at her newspaper, would own or want a supercomputer. Tess directly accuses Chloe of covering up for Clark.
Chloe goes to the Isis Foundation to try to contact Oliver Queen about the disappearance of Clark and Lois, when Davis Bloome enters. He tells her he remembers that she is keeping her distance but his blackouts are getting worse. He says he is trying to find his birth parents in hopes of answers but cannot find anything about the first three years of his life. He asks Chloe to use her reporter skills to help him and gives her a file of his information.
Clark and Lois wake up in the Phantom Zone. Lois thinks they have been abducted by aliens. Clark suggests they should stay moving and stick together. They walk for hours and Lois is getting tired and agitated. She stumbles onto a dead body and starts to panic. Clark tries to calm her down just as a cloaked figure leaps on them and knocks her out. The figure attacks Clark but he grabs its wrist, and is shocked to recognize the silver cuff bracelet. It is Kara. He calls her name and she recognizes him.
Kara explains that she attacked because she thought Clark and Lois were phantoms. She is standoffish and wary, finally admitting that she is aware of an escape portal, but fears other phantoms will escape if she opens it. Clark is in awe that Kara has willingly chosen to stay trapped in order to protect Earth. Kara is still unwilling to open the portal, but Clark says Lois should be sent back.
Chloe finds Oliver in his jet and tells him that Lois and Clark have disappeared. She shows him the crystal, but Ollie is reluctant to get involved. Chloe tells him she needs him to steal a generator for the crystal, to enable her to hack into it and see if it reveals Clark and Lois' whereabouts. Oliver thinks Chloe is getting in over her head, but Chloe insists she can handle it. She tells him that the generator is in the hands of Tess Mercer, and Oliver is suddenly eager to help her out.
Clark, Lois and Kara make it to the portal and Clark volunteers to stand guard while Kara and Lois go through. Kara activates the altar, but Lois wants to wait for Clark because she can hear him being attacked outside. Kara pushes her through the portal just as a phantom flies in. Kara tries to fight it off, but it escapes through the portal behind Lois.
Lois awakens on Earth, confused and disorientated, and the phantom arrives shortly afterwards to take over her body.
'Lois' goes to the Daily Planet and views the news archives. Tess arrives and 'Lois' says she is looking for her son, who was attached to a Kryptonian spaceship when it was sent to Earth containing a child called Kal-El. Tess gets interested and tells her she can help her, saying she's looking for a Kryptonian artefact. 'Lois' thinks she is lying and superspeeds away, leaving Tess wide-eyed with astonishment.
Clark is injured but makes his way into the altar. He finds Kara is trapped under a boulder and tries to free her, but she urges him to make his escape. Clark refuses to leave her because she is family.
Chloe is waiting for Oliver to bring her the generator when 'Lois' appears. Chloe hugs her, but realizes she is not herself. 'Lois' tells Chloe that Clark will die in the prison his father created, and that she needed Lois' body as a vessel. She tells Chloe that her name is Faora, wife of Zod. She has tracked Chloe down, after finding her name in the archives, to ask her what she knows about the ship that landed in Smallville. Chloe tries to run, but Faora catches her and chokes her, until she drops a folder she was holding. Inside it, Faora sees a photograph of Davis, releases Chloe, and leaves.
Oliver, in his Green Arrow gear, gets into the Luthor Mansion and prepares to steal the generator, but Tess catches him. She holds a gun on him and asks him what he knows about the crystal. Green Arrow hits her with a temporary paralysis dart and leaves with the generator.
Faora finds Davis at Metropolis General Hospital, but is surprised to see that he is a health care worker, caring for humans instead of killing them. Davis doesn't understand why 'Lois' is acting strangely. She tells him she is his mother and Davis looks even more confused.
Oliver takes the generator to Chloe, but he is skeptical as to how it will work. Chloe connects the crystal, which begins to spin and glow. Her eyes glaze over white and her nose starts to bleed. Oliver is alarmed and tries to stop her, but she pushes him with one hand across the room and knocks him out as the energy continues to build.
Clark is still trying to free Kara when the energy from the crystal connects to him and begins to pull him out. He convinces Kara to grab his hand and they are both pulled away. They transport into the Isis Foundation, now unharmed. Clark goes to check on Chloe, but she doesn't explain how she did it. Clark asks if Lois is okay and Chloe tells them about Faora. Kara knows who she is. Clark instructs Kara to go contact John Jones and obtain his crystal and goes to find Lois.
Davis thinks 'Lois' has taken something and gives her a cup of coffee to sober her up. Faora continues to explain that she and Zod created Davis, and that his body is still evolving. Davis is surprised that she knows about his blackouts. She tells him that he will evolve into Earth's ultimate destroyer. Davis is still not convinced, so Faora decides that he is too weak to take over the planet. She tears a metal bar from a gurney and impales Davis on it, then withdraws it, leaving him bleeding and seriously if not fatally injured. She tells him that that which kills him makes him stronger.
Clark finds 'Lois/Faora' in the hospital and tries to get through to the real Lois. He apologizes to her and Faora sees his concern. She taunts him and throws him through a wall. Clark lands on an ambulance, crushing it, and Faora and Clark fight until she is hit by rays projected from the John Jones' crystal being held up by Kara. Faora's phantom is ejected from Lois' body and returned to the Phantom Zone. Lois is left unconscious.
The next day at work, Lois tells Clark that Tess gave her a raise. Clark wonders if Tess encountered 'Lois/Faora' and is suspicious. Lois just says she can't remember anything after arriving at Clark's house. Clark says he is glad he can keep an eye on her, but Lois announces that she has changed her mind and will get her own place since she can now afford one with the raise. They are interrupted because Tess has now summoned Clark.
Tess tells Clark that Lois mentioned a "Kryptonian spaceship". Then she shows him a photograph of a footprint her team collected in the Arctic and tells him it matches his own, and insists that Clark was the last person to see Lex Luthor alive. Clark denies it, but Tess knows that Clark is hiding something.
Clark arrives home that evening and Oliver is waiting for him. Clark thanks him for helping Chloe get them back, and Oliver brings up Chloe's behavior with the crystal. He tells Clark that Chloe pushed him across the room. Clark tells him that Chloe has been infected by Brainiac and Oliver asks what he is doing to correct the situation. He says that Chloe is getting in too deep with situations that humans can't understand and he is concerned that she will get hurt. Clark looks worried.
Clark is in his barn contemplating the crystal when Kara arrives. He tells her that he doesn't trust the crystal to rebuild the Fortress. Kara asks if he told Lois his secret, but Clark says he hasn't because it would put her in danger. Kara thinks Lois could handle it. She then says that she is leaving Smallville because while in the Phantom Zone, she heard rumors that Kandor might have survived. Clark wants to go with her, but she tells him that his destiny is on Earth. They hug goodbye and Kara flies away.
In the hospital, Davis has fully recovered from his wound. He takes a large knife and tries to stab himself in the chest, but the knife shatters into pieces
