Smallville - Zero

Superman Saturday takes us back to Smallville, Kansas. Teased multiple times over the show’s First Season leading up to the episode, “Zero” delves into Lex Luthor‘s (Michael Rosenbaum) bad boy days in Metropolis before being relocated to Smallville by his father. Secrets of the past haunting a character also bleed over into the episode’s B-story as a school assignment leads to Chloe (Allison Mack) poking around in the Kents’ adoption of Clark (Tom Welling). Just as Lex asks Clark to leave his past alone, Clark finds himself asking the same of Chloe.

Smallville - Kinetic

Superman Saturday takes us back to Smallville, Kansas, and the time Clark Kent (Tom Welling) fought criminals who could walk through walls. In terms of all parts of the episode being tied together and progressing both the individual episode and season-long arcs, “Kinetic” is one of the best designed episodes of the show’s First Season. We start with Kryptonite-tattooed goons (David Lovgren, Kavan Smith, and David Coles) stealing from Lex and injuring Chloe (Allison Mack) in the opening scene. With a damaging disc being included in the theft, Lex isn’t in any hurry to report details of what was taken to the police.

Smallville - Leech

Superman Sunday takes us back to Smallville, Kansas, and the time Clark Kent (Tom Welling) lost his powers. Like the Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman episode “A Bolt from the Blue,” Clark transfers his powers to another person in “Leech.” Unlike the Lois & Clark episode where both characters had powers at the same time, in “Leech” Clark is rendered human with all of his powers transferred to a classmate following a freak lightning strike. Unfortunately for everyone involved, Eric Summers (Shawn Ashmore) isn’t the most stable person to be granted the powers of Superman.

Smallville - Hug

Superman Sunday takes us back to Smallville, Kansas, and the arrival of scumbag salesman Bob Rickman (Rick Peters), able to influence people through his Kryptonite-powered handshake, who comes to town to build a pesticide plant on the Kent farm and deal with his old friend (Gregory Sporleder) who could expose the secret of his persuasion. The B-story of the episode involves a horseback riding accident where Lana (Kristin Kreuk) is unsure whether the town hermit, Bob’s old friend Kyle, was responsible. This causes conflict between Clark (Tom Welling) who thinks the best of him (and sees a bit of himself in the man) and both Lana and Whitney (Eric Johnson) who get angry at Clark for not lying about what he actually saw to help the police to imprison a man Clark feels is innocent.

Smallville - Shimmer

Smallville Saturday takes us back to the time Lex Luthor (Michael Rosenbaum) had a stalker and an invisible attack roamed the halls of Smallville High School and the Luthor Mansion. Amy Palmer (Azura Skye) was the daughter of Lex’s maid and butler with a major crush on Lex. Awkward and lonely, Amy doesn’t take well to Victoria Hardwick‘s (Kelly Brook) addition to the household and throughout the episode we’ll see attacks on Victoria and those at the school who give Amy a hard time. Our invisible attacker, however, is revealed not to be Amy but her even creepier and overprotective brother Jeff (Birkett Turton) who discovered he extract the oil from meteor-infected roses to create a cream which could make him invisible.
