Once Friends the Same Age, now Lana is six years older
9 October 2007
This episode is so interesting from many angles and perspectives, a result of a fantastic storyline in the series' 42nd episode.

After being friends with Emily Dinsmore at age 10, Lana lost her friend due to a tragic incident in the town's river . However, much to her surprise, Lana again meets Emily. However, while Lana has is now a 16-year old young woman, Emily is still a 10-year old child. The reasons behind this phenomenon are shocking, as revealed at the end of the episode. In addition, Lana discovers that Emily has super-speed and telekinesis, and tells Clark. Lana becomes spooked by Emily's obsession to always be around Lana, wanting to play with her like old times. In addition, Lionel gives Lex free airline tickets to take Helen on their honeymoon, with the intent of investigating the caves on his own.

This episode is shocking, revealing, and a great all-around show. Emily's obsession of being with Lana is reminiscent of shape-shifter Tina Greer's obsession with her as seen midway through Season 1 and in one of the first episodes of this season.
