Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

A woman named Rachel Dunleavy shows up at Clark's school claiming to be his biological mother. Clark finds out the agency that handled his adoption was founded by Lionel Luthor. He confronts his father, who reveals his past history with Lionel the day of the meteor showers. Determined to get a hold of Clark, Dunleavy confronts Lex about Clark and tells him that she is his mother, which would make Clark Lex's brother. Dunleavy eventually kidnaps Lex and threatens to kill him if Lionel fails to reveal that Clark's adoption was a sham in a public press conference. Meanwhile, Lana finds her biological father and confronts him, only to find out that he is not interested in her.
