Another attack on the city is thwarted by "the flying man" and Lex Luthor. However, Clark suspects that Luthor is behind the attacks and confides in Lois.

Impressed with Clark's skills, Lois recommends that Perry hires him, and Clark dons the Superman suit to warn Luthor that he will be watching him in the future.
