Having been transported to the Fortress of Solitude, Clark (Tom Welling) is confronted by Jor-El, who tells him he cannot return to Smallville, instead he must stay and prepare to save the planet. Also, transported to the Fortress, Chloe (Allison Mack) is unable to handle the sub-zero temperature and collapses, begging Clark to use his powers to save her. Jor-El forbids him to leave, but finally acquiesces, telling Clark he must return before sunset or there will be dire consequences. Meanwhile, Lana (Kristin Kreuk) is horrified when she sees two Kryptonian aliens emerge from a spaceship discovered in the remnants of the meteor shower. The two aliens destroy what’s left of the town searching for Kal-El.

Jor-El: Kal-El, you have traveled far, one journey has ended, a new journey is about to begin. Welcome home my son

***

Lex: Chloe! Chloe? Where did you go Chloe?…. Where did you go Chloe?

***

Clark: I thought Krypton was destroyed!

Jor-El: It was. But here, in your Fortress of Solitute, the geografy of our plannet has been replicated for your training.

Clark: I know there’s a lot I can learn from you, but I have to get home, that’s where I’m needed.

Jor-El: The meteor shower is only the precast. A dark force from Krypton has been awakened, Kal-El and it’s sights are set on Earth.

Clark: What do you want me to do?

***

Clark: Chloe?

Jor-El: Kal-El, you must continue your education. You cannot stop.

Clark: She’s my friend, she needs help.

Jor-El: Your destiny is far greater than saving one human life.

Clark: No, I won’t let her die.

Jor-El: Each time you let a human learned emotions guide you, you put the fate of the entire planet at risk. That is your weakness Kal-El.

Clark: Please, I’m begging you.

Jor-El: Very well, under one condition. You must return to me before the yellow sun set.

Clark: I’ll be back. I promise.

Jor-El: Do not fail me Kal-El or the consequences will be grave!

Clark: You have my word!

Chloe: Hey…. I think it’s time you switch into Super-Clark mode now…

Clark: Super-Clark??!!

Chloe: I know you run faster than the speeding bullet, Clark, take me along for the ride!…… Go Clark!!

***

Chloe: Thank you! I wonder who’s more freaked out right now, me knowing that I’m in a hospital where they get their medicine via dog sled or you! Finally finding out I know your secret

Clark: How long have you known?

Chloe: I guess, I’ve always had my suspicions, the quick exits, the miracular recoveries, the lame excuses but I think when I saw you catch a car, like it was a beach ball, that kinda confirmed everything!

Clark: Why didn’t you say anything?

Chloe: I figured if you wanted to tell me you were part of the super-powered persuation, you would when you were ready. On your terms, not on mine.

Clark: You’re a good friend Chloe!

Chloe: Obviously, not good enough.

Clark: There were so many times I wanted to tell you…

Chloe: I don’t blame you. Loose lips, sink ships and God knows I’ve sunk my share of flotilas….. What about Lana? Does she know?

Clark: No.

Chloe: Well, I want you to know that I will never be the iceburg to you Titanic. And your secret will never, ever leave my lips!! No matter what!!

Clark: I appreciate that.

Chloe: There’s still a few blind spots though. LIke, how did we get beamed from the Kawatche cave to the North Pole? And, what was really going on in that forty story igloo?

Clark: Look, Chloe, there’s a lot of things about me that even I don’t understand. The meteor rocks, ….. they didn’t make me the way I am.

Chloe: So, you’re saying you were born this way?

Clark: I wasn’t born anywhere near Smallville. In fact, I wasn’t born anywhere near this galaxy.

Chloe: Okay … okay, so that would make you an…

Clark: Yeah….

Chloe: But you…you look so…

Clark: Human? I’m still the same person.

Chloe: Clark, I…. I think you’re so amazing. You save people’s lives and take zero credit for it. To me, you’re more than just a hero. You’re a super hero.

Clark: Chloe….

Chloe: I’m serious, Clark. If more humans were like you, the world would be a better place

***

Lana: Mr. Luthor! Mr. Luthor! Are you okay?

Lionel: The disciples of Zod…… They must be stopped!

Lana: You’re talking about the people from the ship.

Lionel: Their home is their only poison……. Their home is their only poison.

Lana: Where are they?

***

Clark: Mom! Dad?

Lex: Clark! Thank God you’re okay.

Clark: Where’s my mom and dad?

Lex: At the hospital. Your mom has a broken leg and a concusion, but she’s going to be okay. She’s out of danger now.

Clark: What about Lana?

Lex: Lana’s safe. It’s Chloe I’m worried about.

Clark: Why?

Lex: Clark, she was down in the cave with me when the meteors hit. I was knocked out and when I came to, she was gone.

Clark: She must have escaped while you were unconcious.

Lex: Or someone helped her out.

Clark: What? You think I did? Lex, how could I….

Lex: Clark, before I passed out, there was a light brighter than anything I’ve ever seen. I could’ve sworn I saw you standing right in it’s epicenter.

Clark: I was nowhere near those caves.

Lex: If you weren’t with your parents when the meteors hit, where have you been?

Clark: They insisted I get a headstart. I got a ride on one of the military vans.

Lex: Why do I get this nagging feeling that you’re being less than honest with me?

Clark: I have no idea.

Lex: Well, I’m beginning to get the impression that lying is an unshakable habit of your’s.

Clark: I don’t have to listen ot this.

Lex: Then be straight with me for once. If you’re my friend, just tell me the truth. Were you in the cave when the meteors hit?

Clark: No.

***

Chloe: Clark?

Lex: Now, how could Clark possibly be hree? We’re in the middle of the Yukon.

Chloe: I don’t know. I must’ve been dreaming, I guess. What’s going on, Lex?

Lex: I came to take you home.

***

Lois: Clark! Really, you shouldn’t have.

Clark: Actually, I didn’t.

Lois: Too sweet for words.

Clark: How’d you get that frog in your throat?

Lois: That’s what happens when you get a neck massage form Barbie the Barbarian. Doctor says I shouldn’t talk too much.

Clark: Oh, gee. That’s too bad.

Lois: Don’t get your hopes up, Smallville. It’s not permanent. Oh, I gotta catch a plane for Geneva in two hours. If I’m late, the general will court marshall me or something.

Clark: You know, I did wanna say thank you. You were there for my parents. It means a lot.

Lois: I’m sure it does. But, not enough to give me this deluxe Iris arrangement from Main Street Florist…. She’s down the hall. Room 258.

***

Clark: I hope Irises are still on your favorite flowers list.

Lana: Some things stay number one forever. Thank you.

Clark: Lana, before the meteor showever, you came by the barn. You said some things. A few words sorta stood out.

Lana: Clark, the sky was literally about to fall down on us. I never knew if I’d see you again.

Clark: Right. We were in the middle of a crisis. Sometimes people say things they don’t mean.

Lana: Clark, I meant every word. The question is, did you?

Clark: No more secrets. No more lies.

Lana: Clark, I wanna ask you something: do you beleive in life on other planets?

Clark: Actually, I do.

Lana: I saw something that in crater. It was a spaceship, Clark. It was unbelieveable.
