Attempting to stop a robbery, Clark is temporarily blinded when he shoots off a burst of heat vision that is reflected back into his eyes by a piece of green kryptonite during a conflict with thieves Walt Masterson and his sonic-screaming yodeling apprentice Nathan Dean. He soon realizes that his body has developed super-hearing to compensate for his lack of sight. Pete is kidnapped by Nathan in an attempt to blackmail Judge Abigail Ross into dismissing the charges against Walt. Clark tries to gain control over his hearing so that he can find Pete, Niko and Stella.
