Freak of the Week: Jodi Melville (Amy Adams) is a classmate of Pete and Clark. She is obsessed with her weight, and only drinks shakes made from vegetables that have been infected with kryptonite. These meals make her loose all her body fat. She looses it so fast that she needs to compensate by feeding on the body fat of others. It seems her next victim will be Pete Ross (Sam Jones III) who asks her out on a date. Clark Kent (Tom Welling) rescues him and Jodi is taken to hospital.

Character Development: It's Lana Lang's (Kristin Kreuk) birthday. She is not fond of birthdays, her only good birthday memory is of her sitting in the car with her parents, watching a drive-in Looney Tunes movie and falling asleep between her parents. Aunt Nell (Sarah-Jane Redmond) organizes the party at Lex Luthor's (Michael Rosenbaum) mansion. Unfortunately, Whitney Fordman (Eric Johnson) cannot make it, as he is trying out for the Kansas State football team that same day. Clark offers to be Lana's escort. She accepts, and makes him promise that he will not let her down this time.
Meanwhile, Lex is constantly trying to understand the mysteries of the meteor shower of 1989. When he finds out about Chloe Sullivan's (Allison Mack) "Wall of Weird", he decides to hire Dr. Steven Hamilton (Joe Morton), an expert meteor scientist. Dr. Hamilton takes a little convincing, which Lex promptly does by blackmailing him.
Clark misses out on his "date" with Lana, as he is busy rescuing Pete, but makes up for it by offering her a very nice gift. They both sit in his truck and watch a projection of a Looney Tune movie on his barn wall.
