Miracles Have a Price

After being released from a prison in a laboratory of Luthorcorp's Cyntechnics by the scientist Dr. Hong, the former football player Victor Stone is chased by armed security guards and hit by Lana's truck, without any harm. The car is totally destroyed, Lana wounds her forehead and Victor takes her to a hospital. Lana calls Clark, and he meets Victor, who played football with him in high-school and died in a car crash. Victor explained that he became a living machine as part of the machine project researched by the evil Dr. Allister Krieg sponsored by Luthorcorp. Further, he misses his girlfriend Katherine. Clark promises to help him and visits Lex, who lies to him and tells that he was not aware of the project. Meanwhile, Martha is blackmailed with a DVD and Lionel offers to help her.

In this good episode, the God's complex and megalomania of Lex Luthor is increasing and his dark side is becoming clearer with his evil and disloyal attitudes with Clark. The naive Martha accepts the offer of her "solicitous friend" Lionel Luthor, but she does not realize the price of the gentle support of her treacherous acquaintance. I found a little inconsistent the situation of Clark easily disclosing his abilities to Victor while hiding them from his beloved Lana. My vote is eight.
