Set after "Whisper". Clark never regained his sight and has been pretending that he can see to keep his parents from worrying. He has developed at new ability.

"What? How have you managed to do everything you've been doing?" Pete questioned. He had always admired Clark's tenacity. This...This was just beyond stubborn. "Why are you hiding this? You have friends and family that will help you."
"First, I haven't told anyone because I don't want pity and I don't want Mom and Dad to worry. Second, I can see shades of gray. And today… something happened. I don't know how to explain it. It's like sonar, maybe...I make this noise and images pop into my head. It looks like film negatives. And my sense of smell is off the charts. You wear Polo aftershave, right? And your mom uses cedar to line you dresser, doesn't she?"
"Dude, that's just weird. But they always say people who lose one sense have the others amplified. Like your hearing. We'll just have to work on this so you can focus things." And that was exactly what they did.
This is how the clumsy image of Clark Kent began. The knocking over of coffee cups just out of sight. The stumbling on trashcans that could have been sidestepped easily. It was a ruse that helped created the alter-ego. A secret only known by three people: Pete, Lois, and Clark himself.
