Clark also dips his feet into big city crimefighting while developing a love for journalism. He begins interning at The Daily Planet, where he meets and develops feelings for senior associate and shining star, Lois Lane. But he is still hooked on his high school crush, the one that got away: Lana Lang. Along his journey, he meets future friends like a younger Bruce Wayne and Jimmy Olsen.

Season 2 delves deeper into Clark's tricky balance between journalism and superheroing. It follows his relationships with Lois, Lana, Jimmy Olsen, and Pete Ross.

As he moves closer to becoming the superhero we all know, Season 3 further explores Clark's relationship to his parents and to Smallville itself, and sees him grapple with new truths about his Kryptonian origin that Martha and Jonathan kept from him and meets his cousin, Kara for the first time. His relationship with Lois deepens as he contemplates his long-term prospects. Lana campaigns for mayor against Pete. Lex moves to oust his father from the company.
