Clark (Tom Welling) is stunned when a pesticide magnate
who has kryptonite-enhanced powers of persuasion somehow convinces Jonathan
(John Schneider) to sell the family farm to make way for a new plant. Clark
teams up with the local hermit whose mysterious past holds the key to the town's
future.
Kristin Kreuk, Michael Rosenbaum, Allison Mack, Sam Jones III, Eric Johnson
and Annette O'Toole also star. Chris Long directed the episode written by Doris
Egan. Detailed Description:
By
Nadine
Freak of the Week: Bob Rickman (Rick Peters) is CEO of
LuthorCorp's rival company, an is planning to build a fertilizer plant
in Smallville to compete with Lionel Luthor's (John Glover). He feels
that the ideal place for it in on the location of the Kent Farm. Of
course, Jonathan Kent (John Schneider) has no intention to sell.
Unfortunately, Rickman has an unnatural power of persuasion, acquired at
the time of the meteor shower, when he was a salesman and got exposed to
kryptonite while in his car. Just by shaking Jonathan's hand, he changes
his mind.
Kyle Tippet (Gregory Sporleder) is a very private man, a recluse who
lives in the forest. We find out that he has the same powers, because he
used to be a close friend to Rickman, and they were salesmen together at
the time of the meteor shower. Following it, each man chose a different
direction in life.
Rickman continues his path of persuasion, and convinces Lex Luthor (Michael
Rosenbaum) to turn on Clark Kent (Tom
Welling). Lex tries to shoot Clark who dodges the bullet.
Meanwhile, Kyle and Rickman have come into contact, and are fighting
each other. Kyle persuades Rickman to kill himself.
Character Development: Clark, Lana Lang (Kristin
Kreuk) and Chloe Sullivan (Allison
Mack) go horseback riding, and Lana falls. Clark rushes to
help her, and finds Kyle trying to help her up. Lana and Whitney believe
that Kyle was involved in Lana's fall, Clark believes otherwise. Clark
and Whitney argue over it, and Lana is extremely hostile to Clark.
While Clark and Chloe visit Kyle, Chloe does not believe Kyle's story.
He proves it to her by persuading her to reveal her true feelings to
Clark, which she does and ends up kissing Clark.

Notes:Clark says he doesn't know what he wants to do for a job,
but that he at least knows he doesn't want to be dressing up in a suit
and flying around everywhere. His vision of him flying in a suit is much
different than our vision of him.
So if Clark is vulnerable to kryptonite, shouldn't he be
more vulnerable to the kryptonite-based mind control powers of the two
salesmen, rather than immune? He's never been immune to people with
krypto-powers before - why is he in this episode? He seems to have a
pretty much normal brain, and his superpowers in all of his comic book
appearances have never involved a resistance to mind control and
telepathy. So why can't he be affected here? (the same applies to future
episodes such as the ones with Ryan where Clark also has immunity to
telepathy)
Clark does plenty of Matrix-like moves and then sort of
gives up and and just takes the hit. Why does he stop dodging? Season Two -
