[edit] Summary
Lucy Lane, Lois' younger sister, comes to Smallville but Clark catches her stealing money from the Talon to pay off a European crime syndicate. Lex offers to help but everything is not what it seems. Meanwhile, a thief breaks into Lana's apartment and steals the Crystal of Air, and Jason suspects Lionel.
[edit] Recap
After attempting to cook breakfast (soggy pancakes and burned bacon), Lois reluctantly asks the Kents if Lucy can stay for a few days just as Lucy arrives.
Lana and Jason are returning from a jog when they realize her Talon apartment has been broken into, but the only thing stolen is the Crystal of Air
. Lana convinces Jason to forget about the stone, saying whoever took it can keep it. She tells him that she's tired of their relationship revolving around the Stones and Jason agrees to drop the subject. However,
Much to Clark's annoyance, there are now two Lane girls to drive him crazy. However, he seems to get along with Lucy, since she flirts with him constantly. Lois hands Lucy off to Chloe to show her around because she's gotten a job at the Talon. After Lucy exits, Clark notices that Lois seems "grumpier than usual" and asks why she's not happy to see her sister. Lois explains to Clark that their relationship is strained because after her mother died, she became a mother figure for Lucy and never got to have a real childhood. Clark goes to the Talon with Lois. When Lucy and Chloe arrive, he introduces Lucy to Lex, but she already knows who he is. Chloe mentions that Lucy is a skilled violinist and Lex invites her to the Luthor Mansion to hear him play the piano. Clark notices a shadowy figure enter the Talon and stare intently at Lucy. It is one of the men who were chasing her in Switzerland. Clark asks Lucy who he is, but when she turns to see, he's gone.
Lucy sets up the transaction and tells Lex that only she can deliver the money to an abandoned warehouse. Lex objects and insists on handing off the money. Lex, Lois, and Lucy all pile into one of Lex's sports cars to make the exchange. However, they get pulled over and when the police officer insists Lex get out of the car, he is revealed to be Marcus Becker. He pistol-whips Lex after he hands over the cash. Lois tries to defend him and he turns the gun on her. Becker forces Lucy and Lois into Lex's car, leaving Lex on the pavement.
Lex goes to the Kent Farm to inform Clark that they later found the car, but not the money, and Lucy is nowhere to be found. Clark feels bad that Lois and Lucy's relationship is so damaged and says he wishes they got along. He and Lex talk about siblings, and Lex tells Clark that he sees him as a brother. Later, at school, Clark tells Chloe that Lois is taking Lucy's disappearance hard. Chloe confirms that Lucy's betrayal would be extremely upsetting because Lois has always been fiercely protective of her. Back at the Luthor Mansion, Lionel tells Lex that Jason accused him of stealing the stone. Lionel thinks Lex stole it but Lex is shocked that Jason had the stone in the first place. It is revealed that Lana is the one who "stole" the Stone.
Later, Clark finds Lois in the loft, using Clark's telescope. Lois opens up to Clark, saying she had to tell her father the whole story and he predictably blamed her for Lucy's behavior. Clark assures her that she is a good big sister, and maybe Lucy isn't all bad. They admit to being friends and Lois playfully punches Clark on the arm and leaves. Clark then looks up at the sky through the telescope, revealing that his vision is certainly more powerful than humans as he sees details Lois does not; he watches as two stars collide with each other.
