Clark finds out about the money, and Lana tells him that it was the divorce settlement. She promised she'd never keep secrets from him in the same breath that she more or less hides what she was doing with that money. Lionel, free from Marilyn, confronts Lana on the Kent farm about being the one to orchestrate his kidnapping. She denied it and he warned her to give up on her revenge, but she can't. She continues to pretend that things between her and Clark are normal, and gets the down-low on all things Kryptonian while his cousin Kara shows up. Clark accidentally transfers his powers to Lana, and she uses them to try and kill Lex. Clark stops her with some serious effort because she's overall stronger than him due to her training on top of the superpowers he has, and uses electrical surge and kryptonite to transfer the powers away from her. He tries to pretend that it was the powers that turned Lana into that person, but she confesses that she'd always had that inside of her.

Against Jor-El's warning, Clark uses a crystal with Lara (his mother)'s DNA in it to bring her back and Lana meets her. Lara confronted Lana on the darkness within her though they never really got to further discuss it because Zor-El busted in like the Kool Aid man and an epic fight ensued. The fight ended with Kara disappearing and Clark freezing himself in the Fortress of Solitude. When it appears he's returned after a few weeks, Clark has changed immensely. Lana tries to tell him that she stopped spying on Lex, but instead Clark asks to know what she's learned. They begin to spy on him together, looking into something called Project Scion involving a black, sentient liquid from the black ship. Clark acts generally more understanding and puts Lana before the world and continues a sexual relationship with her for the first time, something that she doesn't question despite him not doing it previously due to his abilities. Lana shows Clark a woman named Casey Brock who she brought into her care at the Isis Foundation after learning that she had weird heavy metal problems in her body. The woman, during Bizarro's time in Smallville, died under Lana's subpar care. Finally, Clark asks Lana to leave Smallville with him, and she agrees, despite Chloe telling her that something was wrong with him.

It turns out that the Clark that had come back was in fact Bizarro, a zoner who used Clark's kryptonian DNA to mimic his appearance. The real Clark returns to Smallville from the Fortress and Lana has to choose between Bizarro and Clark, the former of whom seemed to genuinely love her. The fact that Lana didn't notice the differences breeds some awkwardness and puts distance between Clark and Lana, because Lana confesses that she felt more loved and accepted by Bizarro than she'd ever been with Clark. Lionel blackmails her with the information about Casey Brock to try and get surveillance on Lex, and Lana responds by confessing it to Clark on her own. Clark doesn't seem satisfied by the way that works out, because he knows it's only because of the pressure by Lionel and that she never would have told him otherwise.

Kara returned with amnesia and Lana and Clark decided to hide her true heritage from her, leading to her moving in with Lex. Lana's hatred of Lex led to her showing Chloe some secret passages into the mansion so that they could go and rescue Kara and convince her to leave so they could get her memory back. When Brainiac returned, he attacked Lana at the Isis Foundation, leaving her in a catatonic state that she remained in for the rest of the season. When he was finally defeated, Lana was released from her catatonic state to find that Lex Luthor went missing in the Arctic and Tess Mercer had taken control of LuthorCorp. Tess confronted Lana in the hospital as soon as she came out of her catatonic state and kidnapped her, forcing her to make a video to Clark about her voluntary departure from Smallville, telling him that she was still in love with him but that she couldn't be with him anymore.
