Clark and Lana find a baby on the side of the road; Genevieve gives Lionel an ultimatum.

How it begins: Two teens drive down the road. The girl is pregnant and about ready to deliver the baby, the guy driving is talking to a 911 operator. The girl's stomach begins to grow and the guy crashes the car. Her midsection then starts glowing and the guy bails, running away from the car. Then an explosion of light consumes the car.

What's up with Clark: Clark and Lana are driving down the road when they see a flash of light. They pull over to investigate and find a massive crater in a field and inside the crater is a small baby. Lana picks up the baby and wraps it in her scarf. They take the baby to the hospital, where the sheriff tells him they're placing the baby in child Services' care. Clark is a bit concerned, he thinks the baby is from Krypton and when Child Services can't take the baby right away, Clark and Martha decide to take care of the baby till they find it a home.

What's up with Chloe: Always the investigator, Chloe finds the record of the 911 call from the teens and tells Clark and Lana that the father should still be alive. Clark wants answers.

What's up with Lionel: Genevieve summons Lionel and tells him it's time he pay her back for getting him out of prison. She wants him to get the crystal brought back from China. She thinks Lex has it and demands Lionel get it from him. Lionel confronts Lex who tells him he doesn't have the crystal. Lionel tells him to watch his back.

What's up with Lana: Lana decides the baby needs a name, so Clark names him Evan, since they found him in Evan's field. As they discus Evan's future, a bright light envelopes Evan, Clark and Lana. When Jonathan comes into the room he gasps at Evan who's grown from a baby to a young child! While Lana reads with Evan in the barn, Clark and his parents decide they should take Evan to see Lex, since Lex knows a ton about meteor rocks and their effects on people.

What's up with Lex: Luthorcorp scientists examine Evan and decide the best way to slow his rapid growth is a bone marrow transplant. But they need the marrow of a parent. Since Evan's mother died, Clark decides to look for Evan's father. Before he can however, Evan grows again, this time into a teen.

How it ends: Clark tracks down Evan's dad, Tanner, but cannot get him to help. Tanner thinks Evan's a monster and very freaked out. Evan is devastated when he hears his dad won't help and doesn't want anything to do with him. After he runs off, Clark goes to see Lex, who tells him that the next time Tanner grows he will die, and expend so much energy doing so that he'll kill anyone near him. An upset Evan seeks out his father. When he finds them the two exchange harsh words and Evan accidentally pushes him down onto a spike and Tanner dies.

Evan runs into Lana and is quite distraught. Things soon get worse as he doubles over in pain, he's about to grow again. Lana doesn't know this time he's going to die. Chloe helps Clark track down Evan and Lana, they're at the windmill outside of town. Clark arrives in time to get Lana to leave and stay with Evan. Evan tells Clark he wishes he had been his father and then is enveloped in light and gone.

Lionel goes to see Genevieve and poisons her drink! He tells her no one threatens his sons life and that if she wants to live she'll give him the one element she has.
