Plot

 * "As I left off, Clark's journey continues, as his ship is found by a close friend, that might change the course of their friendship and will help Clark uncover his true origin." - The Narrator in the opening scene

Driving home, Pete Ross swerves to miss a parked van in the middle of the road, causing him to crash in the corn fields. He gets out of the truck to see the driver, who he finds unconscious, so Pete takes him to his truck, but stops when he finds, what seems to be an alien ship.

The next day, as Clark shoots hoops, Pete asks if he can use Jonathan's pick up truck, and shows Clark to the spaceship. Clark suggest they take it back to his house, but Pete disagrees and says that he knows his father will call a specialist, so he reluctantly agrees to let Pete put it in the tool shed in his backyard. Pete says they should call Chloe, but Clark convinces him to keep quiet until the know for sure it's real.

Clark returns home and informs his parents that Pete found the ship. Jonathan suggest that they try to steal it back, but Clark suggest it would be easier telling Pete his secret, but Martha asks Clark if he really thinks Pete is ready for a burden as big as his secret. So at night, they steal it back, but Pete sees them as they drive away.

The next morning, Pete accuses Clark of stealing the ship, but Clark denies. Pete tells him that he saw him and his father drive away with it. Angry Pete drives away and, after a moment of hesitation, Clark super speeds in front of the car and stops it with his bare hands. He takes Pete down to the storm cellar to see the ship and informs him that his parents found him in it the day of the meteor shower. Pete becomes angry at Clark for never trusting him, but assures Clark that he can trust him, when Clark has doubts. When his parents come home they find the storm cellar door open and Clark with Pete inside and become disappointed with Clark for tellling Pete, but Pete assures them, like he did Clark, that he can be trusted. Afterwards Pete and Clark play a game of basketball. After learning of his X-Ray vision, he asks Clark if he's ever used it on a girl and Clark replies once (referring to the time when he accidently peeked through the girls locker room and saw Lana ﻿remove her towel).

The next day the group is assigned a family tree project and Pete is the only one excited, as Lana recently learned Lewis Lang isn't her birth father, Chloe's mother is in an insane asylum, and Clark being adopted. Lana suggest they get together at the Talon later, when suddenly Clark hears a high-pitched ringing, unheard by the others, and stumbles out, leaving them worried and puzzled.

Clark goes to the ship in the storm cellar and finds the hole in the ship with the missing piece glowing. He tells his parents and suggest that the ship is telling him to find the key, but his parents tell him to ignore it and to tell them if it happens again and later at the Talon it does, he is lead by a sense in his head out to Rielly's field, where he finds the key and takes it back home, where he inserts it in the ship, activating it. Clark hears a voice who reveals himself to be the consciounse of his father, Jor-El. Jor-El informs that he is Kal-El of Planet Krypton and was sent to Earth as an infant, before Krypton's core erupted, destroying the planet. He also informs him that he gains his powers by radiation from Earth's yellow sun. His parents walk in and find him speaking with Jor-El, but the ship deactivates as they approach him. In the house he informs them of his kryptonian name and the reason of him landing on Earth.

Later that day, Pete finds him in the loft and Pete brings him a lead box, filled with a meteor rock. When Pete asks why Clark wanted it, Clark corrects him saying it's called Kryptonite, a cross between his planet Krypton and meteorite. Clark tells him he wants to do an expirement.


 * "That day began a whole new way Clark thought of himself and began a new journey." - Narrator, after Clark's talk with Jor-El.
