[edit] Season Four

After hearing that Lana Lang went to France, she made sure that her son started dating Lana and that he would show Lana the tomb of Isobel Thoreaux. Genevieve managed to arrange bail for Lionel Luthor, in order to help her find the Stones of Power. Lana Lang recognized Genevieve through a recurring dream of Countess Thoreaux's past. This made Jason suspicious that he was a pawn in his mother's plan. Genevieve denied the allegations, ridiculing the idea that she could have orchestrated him meeting Lana.

When Jason started working for Lex Luthor, Genevieve questioned Lex about his motivations for hiring her son. Whilst she was keen for Jason to work for Lex to avoid contact with Lana, she became nervous that Lex was using Jason to get the stones. Nevertheless, Genevieve was able to manipulate Jason into helping her by having Jason kill Bridgette Crosby to get the Water Stone.

Genevieve ordered Lionel to help her get the Crystal of Air and threatened to send him back to prison if he refused. Lionel exposed Genevieve for killing Bridgette Crosby and threatened her in retaliation, saying she would pay dearly if she went through with her plans against the Luthors. Lionel poisoned her drink and denied her the antidote until she gave him the stone that she stole from Crosby.

In retaliation, Jason kidnapped Lex and Lionel and he and Genevieve held them hostage in a cabin. They tortured Lex to make Lionel tell them the location of the Water Stone. Lionel lied saying that he sent it to Lana, so Genevieve went to find her. She broke into Lana's apartment and waited for her to arrive. Genevieve greeted Lana with a gun and a fight ensued. Genevieve grabbed her and started choking her, which caused Lana to be possessed by Isobel Thoreaux once more. Isobel easily threw her off and used the Stone to stab Genevieve in the heart, thus avenging Isobel's death and putting her spirit to rest for good.

Lex helped Lana cover up the murder, which was made easier by the destruction of the second meteor shower.

[edit] Season Seven

After Lex was shot in Detroit he began to remember events from his childhood and recollected his fathers secret meetings with a group known as the Veritas Society. Genevieve had been part of Veritas, which had been awaiting the Traveler's arrival on Earth. She had told the group that her ancestors had been guarding this secret for centuries, which explained her obsession with the stones, which she had even been searching for in 1989.
