We see a flashback to Krypton, which looks a lot like an Iron Maiden album cover. Kara remembers being sent to Earth by her father, the splendoriffic Zor-El (Actor!). While dreaming of better, more apocalyptic times, a floating Kara is nearly clipped by a passing jet in the Washington, DC sky. She"s trying to track down her crystal, and does it by seducing the dorkiest scientist to ever grace The CW. They don"t go all the way (well, she doesn"t, anyway), but Kara does learn the location of the secret lab where they"re doing experiments on her giant blue dildo-like crystal. Unfortunately, Agent Carter from the Department of Domestic Unnecessary Eyeliner captures Kara with a Kryptonite brace of his own invention. He ties her up like all evil men would like to and makes her remember Krypton. She remembers Clark"s mother, Lara, who looks an awful lot like Helen Slater. Back before Krypton a"sploded, Lara took Kara on some sort of crazy physical mind trip to the Kent Farm to see where Clark would one day grow up. Kara even took a Polaroid picture of Lara to leave behind. The spectral flights from Krypton to Kansas must be cheap, because soon Zor-El is there, bitching out Kara and professing his evil, undying, actorly love for Lara. He even took some of her DNA, he loves her so much. Lara, pregnant with Clark, pushes him away, and Kara discovers that her dad is fairly scummy. But, boy can he act! Clark finds Kara and rescues her from Agent Carter, but also absorbs some of those memories. He and Kara make up and agree to be Best Super Cousins Ever! Meanwhile, Kara and Jimmy are pretty much dating, much to Chloe"s disappointment. Lana opens up a weird free clinic for the Krypto-afflicted, and Chloe finds out about it. Sneaky Lana tries to convince Chloe that it"s just a little project she"s doing, no big deal, but Chloe thinks she"s lying. Clark goes to see Papa Luthor and gives him a hug (weird). He lies to Papa Luthor about Kara"s origins, however. Papa has pretty much figured it out, though, and he confronts Lex about his myriad obsessions with the people in Clark"s life. It"s not pretty. And lastly, Clark confesses to Lana that he"s already found the crystal, which, it turns out, houses his mother"s DNA. So...awesome. Are you gonna clone her, now? Just learn how to do your own laundry, man. It"s not worth the ethical implications!
