Ryan (from "Stray") returns and Clark has to save him from Dr. Garner of the Summerholt Research Facility. Meanwhile, Aunt Nell leaves Smallville, and Lex wants to expand the plant but runs afoul of the mayor.

Former DA Raymond Sacks threatens Lois after he is released from prison; Chloe discovers Zod's secret.
