Extinction
Guest Stars: Jesse Metcalfe [Van Kersey], Camille Mitchell [Sheriff Nancy Adams]
Clark (Tom Welling) discovers someone is hunting people affected by the kryptonite rocks and the killer’s next target is Lex (Michael Rosenbaum). Clark uses his powers to save Lex, but is caught off guard when the killer learns his weakness and shoots him with a kryptonite bullet.
Note: Chloe mentions in this episode that Lex has a dramatically increased white blood cell count, a warning sign of leukemia. In the comics, Lex Luthor got cancer from prolonged exposure to Kryponite.
Back in Nicodemus, Kristin Kreuk (Lana) used a body double in the infamous pool scene. Here in this episode, you see that she is much skinnier than the body double.
