Victor Stone (guest star Lee Thompson Young) is released from a secret lab by a sympathetic scientist. He breaks through steel doors to escape his pursuers right before he gets hit by Lana's car.
Victor takes Lana to the hospital. Then Martha gets a mysterious package with a DVD player that shows something that disturbs her, they don't show what she sees at first. After talking with Lana, Clark soon catches up with Victor and discovers his metallic inner workings using x-ray vision. Martha gets a phone call about the video she'd received just before Lionel walks in. He offers his help with whatever it is that is upsetting her; she refuses and says she can handle it.
Clark and Victor talk about how Victor came to be at the lab. Clark researches the lab with Chloe's help and it turns out that the company running the experiments, Syntechnics, is owned by Luthorcorp. Furious, Clark goes to Lex to confront him about the experimentation. Lex denies any knowledge of the lab or its research.
Lana visits Victor to ask him about his girlfriend just as two bad guys show up and shoot Victor. Clark knocks them out but Victor is hurt and "bleeds" a black oily substance. Clark and Lana take Victor to Lois' apartment. Victor reveals the fluid he's bleeding runs his power cells and that he'll die if it isn't repaired. Clark leaves to try to find the doctor that helped Victor before.
He goes to the doctor's house where he finds the doctor dead just before Lex shows up. They fight outside about the experiments done on Victor. Clark reveals that Victor was shot and is dying. Back at Lois' apartment Lana tells Victor about the doctor being dead. Discouraged, Victor goes off to find his girlfriend so he can see her "one last time." Lex lays in wait and captures Victor. Lionel shows up at the money drop and scares off Martha's blackmailer. She reluctantly agrees to accept Lionel's help. Back in the lab, Victor is repaired but Lex tells him that they will put in a chip that will dampen his emotions. After discovering Victor had gone, Clark rescues Victor just as the evil doctor was about to install the chip. Clark confronts Lex about what he's done and Lex finally gets the last word and walks out on Clark.
Clark and Lana get Victor together with his girlfriend, Katherine. Martha talks with Lionel about his having taken care of the extortionist. She thanks him and says she's glad he's her friend. Clark and Lana have a talk about the state of their relationship.
Finally, Lionel pays off the black-mailer and then looks at the video Martha received. It was tape of Clark saving Lana from the explosion in Lockdown. Lionel looks at a freeze frame of Clark holding Lana in the firestorm of the explosion and says "Your secret is safe with me… Kal-El."
I dont think that it's Jor'el in Lionels body....Its definately Lionel. Thats what i think anyway......i could be wrong though.
