Smallville Saturday takes us back to the creation of a new meteor freak of the week when high-school lothario Sean Kelvin (Michael Coristine) gets trapped under the ice in the meteor-filled Cater Lake and emerges with permanent hypothermia and a need to draw on fire, electricity, or the body heat of others to stay warm. That’s trouble for his ex-girlfriend Jenna (Tania Saulnier) who doesn’t survive her final encounter with Sean and for Chloe (Allison Mack) who has drawn the attention of the oh too cool football player whose touch can kill. Sean’s powers somewhat mirror that of longtime Superman villain Parasite, who feeds on the energy of others, although the inclusion of his powers being cold-based are quite different.

Smallville Saturday takes us back to the introduction of Clark‘s (Tom Welling) X-Ray Vision which coincidentally manifests itself in an episode that proves quite useful as another classmate changed by meteorite rocks has developed a shape-shifting ability to become anyone she wants to be and decided to put this ability to use for notorious purposes including robbing the local bank as Lex (Michael Rosenbaum), and, in full single white female mode, attempting to take over the life of Lana (Kristin Kreuk).

Smallville – Hothead

Smallville Saturday takes us back to Clark‘s (Tom Welling) first brief stint on the Smallville football team. “Hothead” also marks the first time an adult, rather than someone closer to Clark’s age, becomes a meteor freak. In this case it’s football coach Walt Arnold (Dan Lauria) whose quick temper and fiery disposition is enhanced by the meteor rocks in his steam room making him a Firestarter. The conflict from the episode comes from father vs. son dynamics with Clark disobeying his father and joining the team, and in a short B-story Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) making a similar bold move against his own father. We also get Chloe‘s (Allison Mack) investigation into the football team discovering the bad behavior of its coach (even before he sets the principal’s car on fire) putting herself, and eventually Clark, in danger.

Smallville Saturday takes us back to the second episode of the show’s First Season. While playing on some threads from the first episode, including Lex (Michael Rosenbaum) further attempts to befriend Clark (Tom Welling), and Lana (Kristin Kreuk) discovering the scarecrow prank Whitney (Eric Johnson) played, the main storyline involves the introduction of the show’s second meteor freak in Lana’s stalker Greg Arkin (Chad E. Donella). After being bitten by a swarm of Kryptonite-infused bugs, the entomology nerd gets buff and crazier, taking on increased strength and nefarious designs on his Smallville classmates.
