Plot
At an unexpected rave at the caves, a nerdy student from school dies after a fall. It turns out that the cracks on the cave walls inject bugs into the necks of those who get close enough. The bugs cause the infected persons to engage in extremely risky (and life-threatening) behavior. Eventually, Pete and Chloe are infected and gets Clark to join their side by slipping him red kryptonite, leading him to make out with Chloe and hurt Lana in the process. Meanwhile, Lex hires Dr. Walden to try to translate the language found in the cave paintings.
