After being reported missing in Indonesia while serving with the Marines, Whitney Fordman (Eric Johnson), former boyfriend of Lana Lang (
Kristin Kreuk) abruptly returns to Smallville. Not unexpectedly, Whitney's presence causes a strain in the blossoming relationship between Lana and Clark Kent (
Tom Welling). Soon, however, Clark begins to suspect that Whitney is harboring a sinister secret -- one that involves Tina Greer (Lizzy Caplan), the shapeshifting nemesis introduced in the first-season episode "
X-Ray." ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
