A gifted art student seeks revenge after being the victim of a hit-and-run accident that robs him of the use of his hands. Lana observes Clark with Chloe and begins to rethink her relationship with Whitney.

Who is Justin? Justin Gaines is a Smallville High student who has spent six months recovering from a hit-and-run accident. He did comics for the Smallville Torch, and was known as a gifted artist. Since the accident, he doesn't have the same use of his hands. During his recovery, Chloe has kept in touch via e-mail. Justin tells Chloe he's always had a crush on her, and he fought his way back to health for her. With his loss of dexterity, Justin has developed powers of telekinesis. He reveals this to Chloe as they share passionate kisses, while he levitates objects around the room. That afternoon, Justin gets information that matches some license tag numbers he remembers from the hit-and-run accident to Principal Kwan's vehicle. Seeking revenge, Justin waits for Principal Kwan to arrive at home. Justin uses his telekinetic powers to control Principal Kwan's vehicle, causing it to crash into him right through the garage door, crushing him against the wall.

What's up with Chloe? Clark forgets the journalism conference he was to attend with Chloe. She gets angry, and Pete has to explain to Clark that its because she likes him, wanted to spend more time with him, and wants to invite him to the spring formal dance. Feeling frustrated with Clark's lack of interest in her, Chloe is soon delighted by Justin's attention, despite Clark's warnings. That is, until she finds disturbing comics drawn by Justin in his room. She figures out that Justin caused the death of Principal Kwan, makes up an excuse to go see Clark, and leaves Justin. Chloe calls Clark from his barn on her cell phone.

What's up with Clark? Now that he finally knows Chloe likes him, Clark thinks they can be more than friends. He tells Lana he let a moment slip away before, and doesn't want that to happen a second time. Clark is admittedly jealous of Justin's attention towards Chloe. She dismisses his warnings. When Clark goes to the Kwan home to see the accident scene in the garage, he meets Kwan's son Danny. He tells Danny of his suspicions of Justin. Clark suspects that Danny was the hit-and-run driver in Justin's disabling accident.

What's up with Lex? Pamela, Lex's childhood nanny returns. She's the only woman he ever loved besides his mother. She explains that she left suddenly after his mother's death because Lionel sent her away. She has returned on the anniversary of Mrs. Luthor's death to ask Lex's forgiveness. "Alexander" won't give it. Lex confronts his father about Pamela. Lionel admits he sent her away. He tells Lex she is dying of cancer. Lionel warns Lex that she may be looking for money. Lex goes to the hospital to see Pamela. She tells him how much she wanted to be there while he grew up. He tells Pamela he really misses his mother and that Pamela may have made a difference in the man he turned out to be. Pamela reassures him and says his mother would be proud of him.

What's up with Lana? Seeing the interest between Clark and Chloe, Lana is melancholy, realizing that a relationship she might have with Clark might slip away. Her feelings for Whitney have changed, but she felt she had to support him during his dad's illness. Now Whitney is happy that his dad is recovering, and his attention is back on Lana as his girlfriend. Lana wants to talk to Whitney about how she feels and to free herself from their steady relationship.

What's up with Whitney? Whitney comes to the Talon. Just as Lana says "Whitney, we need to talk," Whitney tells Lana the news that his dad has died suddenly.

How it all ends up: Back at the barn, Justin has used telekinesis to knock Chloe unconscious. As he uses his powers to lift and start a chain saw, Justin hovers the tool over Chloe. Clark storms in, jumping in front of the threatening tool, breaking it apart. He pushes a stunned Justin aside just before Chloe awakens and hugs him in gratitude. Danny Kwan turns himself in as the driver in Justin's hit-and-run accident. Justin is sent for psychiatric evaluation. Clark asks Chloe to join him on a date to attend the journalism conference.

At the cemetery service for Mr. Fordman, in the sadness and rain, Lana comforts Whitney. Clark watches sadly as they walk away. Lana stops for a long glance back to Clark. Chloe sees the exchange, and sadly leaves. Lana turns her glance away from Clark to follow Whitney. Clark walks away alone in the rain.
