Plot
Martha, who earlier hid the key to the spaceship in a can of flour, buries it in the storm cellar but accidentally kicks up dust from the meteor rocks, inhaling them in the process. As a result, she gets extremely sick and is on the verge of death. Officers from the disease control department, after finding out that the substance she inhaled is unknown to the planet, quarantine the Kent farm (after Clark quickly moves the ship to Pete's house) and discover the key. Clark, who inhaled the meteor dust as well, falls sick too. Helen, the doctor who takes charge of Clark's case, manages to draw a blood sample and discovers that the sample is completely different from normal blood. Meanwhile, it is revealed that Martha is pregnant and Lex asks Helen to move in with him. In the end Lana discovers Chloe loves Clark.
