Synopsis:
Superman returns to Smallville. While visiting his parents, indians take Pete Ross hostage. The indians are upset about the mining rights on their land. When Superman comes to help, he is confronted by Firewolf, an Oto shaman with magical abilities. The shaman rescues Pete, while Superman brings a representative from the mining company to ensure that the indians are treated properly. When the incident is over, Superman tells Lana that he is now dating Lois. She slaps him and realizes that a potential romance with Clark will never happen.
