Clark Kent is looking for a gift to his mother in a jewelry, when two thieves try to heist the place using the powerful scream of Nathan Dean (Micah Alberti). The combination of the scream with a bijouterie of kryptonite makes Clark blind. Without this sense, his hearing uncontrollably increases. One of the criminals, Masterson (William MacDonald) is arrested, and Nathan kidnaps Peter Ross to force his mother, Judge Abigail Ross (Felecia M. Bell), to release Masterson. Meanwhile, Clark Kent listens to a conversation between Chloe Sullivan and Lionel Luthor about Lex Luthor and himself, and after commenting with Lex, Chloe is mistakenly taken as Lex's informer and fired by Lionel.
