Clark Kent is a small town boy with extraordinary abilities, and he must now cope with his developing powers as he grows up and navigates teenage life in Smallville. In Season 2 Episode 2, titled Heat, Clark's heat vision begins to manifest more frequently and uncontrollably. This sudden surge of uncontrolled power brings consequences for him and those around him.

As the episode opens, we see Clark struggling to control his heat vision as it unexpectedly erupts while practicing archery with Chloe, who is also struggling with her own troubles. Their friendship is under strain as she has become obsessed with uncovering a new lead on Clark's mysterious origins. Meanwhile, Lana and Whitney have also hit a rough patch in their relationship. Lana is having doubts about whether she's ready to commit to being Whitney's girlfriend for the long haul.

As the episode progresses, the plot thickens as Clark struggles to control his heat vision. It manifests repeatedly and uncontrollably, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake. The uncontrolled heat vision causes everything from small fires to appliance meltdowns. It is not just the physical toll that is concerning, but also the emotional trauma Clark is experiencing due to his inability to control this power.

As the town's weather starts to heat up, Clark's powers become even more unpredictable. The temperature rising puts added stress on the residents of the town. The heat and humidity make it harder for people to stay calm and think rationally. Things come to a head when a fire breaks out in the local flower shop.

Clark is in the area and instinctively turns up to lend a hand in putting out the fire. However, he ends up getting in the way of the fire department when his heat vision acts up again. Conner, Whitney's friend, recognizes Clark's powers and starts to question him about them. Despite trying to keep his abilities a secret, Clark is unable to avoid the conversation. He also finds himself struggling to keep his powers under control while under intense questioning.

Later on, Lana finds herself having feelings for Clark that go beyond friendship. She discovers that she has feelings for him that are more than what she can give Whitney. She starts to question her relationship with Whitney, and as the day goes on, she finds that she is falling more for Clark every day.

Towards the end of the episode, Clark tries to confront his mother about the truth of his origins. However, she is vague and denies any knowledge of anything. Desperate for answers, he decides to reach out to Dr. Swann, who he knows has been doing research on Krypton and might be able to help him uncover the truth.
