Clark Kent, a teenage boy with extraordinary abilities, struggles with the truth about his powers and his purpose on Earth in the first episode of Smallville, titled "Pilot."

Fast forward to present day, Clark is a high school student in Smallville, Kansas who is still trying to come to terms with his powers and abilities. He's stronger and faster than everyone else, but he's also different, and this sets him apart from his peers.

As Clark struggles to keep his powers in check, he accidentally saves the life of Lana Lang, a fellow student, after she becomes trapped in her car. This is the beginning of their friendship, and it is clear that Clark has feelings for Lana.

Meanwhile, Lex Luthor, a billionaire who is visiting Smallville, is involved in a car accident with Clark. The two become unlikely friends, and it is evident that Lex is intrigued by Clark's abilities.

Throughout the episode, Clark struggles to come to terms with his powers and the responsibility that comes with them. He doesn't want to hurt anyone, but he also feels like he has a duty to use his powers for good.

At the end of the episode, Clark confides in his parents about his powers, and they tell him that they have known all along. They reassure him that he is meant for great things and that he should use his powers to help others.

Overall, the pilot episode of Smallville sets the stage for the rest of the series.
