Lana did some snooping in Adam's apartment and [[Obsession|discovered a journal]] of notes proving that he was spying on her and Clark. She tried to evict him, but Adam refused to leave, so Lana asked [[Lex Luthor]] for help, but before Lex could do anything, Lionel collected him. Disappointed that Adam had alienated Lana, Lionel declared that he was no longer a participant in his research program. Dr. Teng was horrified by Lionel's decision, and snuck Adam the drugs he needed to survive.

Adam used Chloe to discover Lana was hiding out at the [[Kent Farm]], and threatened to kill [[Jonathan Kent]] and Chloe if Lana didn't come with him to the storage facility. When they searched his things and found that all the serum was gone, Lana attempted to escape and Adam ran after her with a gun. He tried to kill her for lying to him, but she really didn't know where the serum was. Clark arrived just in time to take the bullet meant for her, in full view of a dying Adam. Adam suddenly realized why Lionel sent him to spy on Clark. Just before he died, Adam admitted that Lionel had sent him to watch Clark.
