Clark (Tom Welling) and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) race against time to find a kidnapped Chloe (Allison Mack) after a kryptonite explosion gives Lana the ability to "see" through the kidnapper's eyes and she watches Chloe being buried alive. Meanwhile, Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) discovers evidence that a spaceship landed in Smallville during the meteor shower.
Sam Jones III, Eric Johnson, Annette O'Toole and John Schneider also star. Terrance O'Hara directed the episode with story written by Greg Walker and teleplay by Michael Green & Mark Verheiden.

A gas main explosion gives Lana a concussion and showers her with green rocks: a combination that gives her a "dream" of Chloe being attacked outside the hospital while going to Metropolis. Then she has visions of Chloe being held bound and gagged, through the eyes of her kidnapper. A second vision shows her where Chloe has been buried alive so Clark can rescue her. It turns out she's psychically linked with a deputy at the explosion site who kidnapped Chloe to build his reputation. He plans on killing Lana to eliminate the only witness and cement his career: Clark intervenes and the deputy is subsequently killed in a shootout.

Meanwhile, Lex and reporter Roger Nixon contact a man, Eddie Cole, who was a cropduster who was working during the meteor shower and apparently saw some sort of craft crashing down in a field. This piques Lex's interest and he starts digging up the field and finds meteorite chunks. Hamilton identifies a metallic fragment as a non-Terran alloy.

Lex: (to reporter Nixon) Since I haven't called you, and there wasn't any three-head sheep born in Smallville, what brings the Inquisitor to town?

Chloe: Will you come and visit me?
Clark: Yeah, of course! I would never pass up the opportunity to see you in your natural habitat.

Clark: When you going to be able to put your past behind you?
Lex: Look at the stars, Clark. Some of them have been extinguished for thousands of years, but their light is only reaching us now. The past is always influencing the present. I can't change that. All I can do is try to understand it.

Lex: I feel like I owe your father an apology, but I'm not exactly sure why.

Clark: (to Jonathan) Lex isn't perfect, dad. I know that. But slamming the door in his face over and over only helps turn him into exactly what you think he already is.

Nixon: It seems you've given out gifts to the competition. Now, we had an arrangement. You give me stories, I give you information. Now, what did Carrie Castle do for you that I couldn't?
Lex: She gave me a pretty mean shiatsu massage.

Clark: Chloe leaves for a day and the Torch goes down in flames.

Clark: So you've had a night to sleep on it, what are you going to do with Lex's check?
Jonathan: Well, I might be stubborn, but I'm not blind.

Clark: I don't think the whole tux and limo thing is for me.

Chloe: Are you going to wish me luck?
Clark: You don't need it.

Jonathan: When did you get so wise?
Clark: Ask my dad.
Jonathan: I'll sleep on it.

Pete: You ought to try getting off of your butt, Clark. It's the wave of the future.

Chloe: Clark Kent leaps tall theories in a single bound!

Lex: I don't like riddles.
Dr. Hamilton: Then this puzzle will make you profoundly unhappy.

Lana Lang and Whitney Fordman are horseback riding through the fields. They spot a fire in the distance and call the cops, it is a gas main fire. Although the police and firemen try to control it, they hear the gas main shaking and realize it is about to explode. Lana doesn't get far enough and is hit by a shower of green rocks.

Chloe Sullivan leaves for Metropolis, where she has an interview with the Daily Planet for a possible internship over the summer. She will be staying with her cousin who is a journalist and lives in Metropolis.

Lana is lying in her hospital bed, and sees visions of Chloe getting attacked and chloroformed as she is getting into her car. She tells Clark Kent about her "dream". Clark realizes he hasn't heard from Chloe since she left. He thinks that the details of Lana's dream are too real (they include an exact description of what Chloe was wearing as she left for Metropolis), and that it may not have actually been a dream. The following day, at The Talon, Pete Ross lets Clark know that he has not heard from Chloe yet either, which is strange, she would usually have called to confirm she had arrived in Metropolis. At that moment, Lana has another vision of Chloe, this time, Chloe is tied up in a storage room, with teddy bears all around the room. Lana tells Clark again.

Chloe is indeed locked up in a storage room, and is trying to free herself. As she runs away, she is caught by a man in a mask, who stabs her with a kryptonite-loaded syringe. She passes out. Lana tells her story to Gabe Sullivan, Deputy Gary Watts and Deputy Birdego. She realizes that she is seeing through Chloe's abductor's eyes. Both deputies do not seem to be buying her story. Gabe tries calling his niece in Metropolis but only gets her voicemail. He then gets a call, Chloe's car has been found abandoned in the woods. A search party is organized. Clark and Jonathan Kent were on the search party but did not find anything.

Lana gets a third vision of Chloe, this time Chloe is being buried alive. She sees the location as close to a windmill. Clark runs to the field, and uses all his powers to save Chloe: superspeed to run to the field, x-ray vision to locate her coffin buried under ground and superstrength to pulls her out.

Chloe is in hospital, traumatized by what happened, and Clark stays with her even after Pete and Lana have left. As Lana is walking out of the hospital, she gets another vision through the aggressor's eyes, and sees that he is looking at her walk away, and realizes he must be right behind her. But as she turns around, no one is there.

Chloe, Clark and Whitney meet at the Torch office and start figuring things out. The site of the gas explosion, where it all started, had meteor rocks. They find an article that explains that during World War II, after certain shocks such as bombs, two people would find themselves psychically linked. Whitney explains that, after the explosion, he and both the deputies ran to Lana. They realize that both deputies were also the ones questioning Lana.

Deputy Birdego visits Lana at The Talon, and apologizes for not believing her. She accepts, and, as she turns to make him a cup of coffee, she sees through the aggressor's eyes, he is walking into The Talon, and walks up to the Deputy and knocks him out. She turns around, and sees the man in the mask and screams.

Clark, Whitney and Chloe arrive at The Talon and question Deputy Birdego. Clark inquires about Deputy Watts, and Birdego explains that Watts works a second job as a security guard at the carnival ground, which is closed at this time of year. Clark realizes that it must have been where Chloe was help captive, since Lana mentioned seeing stuffed animals and train tracks in her vision.

Deputy Watts is holding Lana captive at the carnival ground. He explains that he only kidnapped Chloe in order to take credit for saving her. He wants to be the best cop Smallville has ever known. Now, he plans on killing Lana and solving her murder. Clark arrives in time. He fights with Watts, who shoots him and gets freaked out as the bullets have no effect on Clark. Clark knocks him out and runs away. Lana, who is still inside, trying to untie her restraints, sees a final vision, as the cops surround Watts, he goes to shoot at them, and they kill him.
