Both Clark and a classmate named Eric are struck by lightning when Eric is holding a piece of meteorite rock. The strike takes Clark's powers away and transfers them to Eric. As Eric gets used to his new powers, Clark has to deal with being a normal person for the first time, with all the advantages and disadvantages. Eric's domineering father wants to have him examined in Metropolis - in response, Eric goes on a rampage. Borrowing Lana's meteor-rock necklace, Clark confronts Eric at a power plant and manages to reverse the transfer. Meanwhile, Sir Harry Hardwick (Victoria's father, and rival of Lionel Luthor) and his daughter try to recruit Lex for their business in Metropolis and almost succeed in buying out LuthorCorp, but they find out that they were tricked by Lex.
