When Reeves Dam was destroyed during Clark's battle with Bizarro, Kara's ship was released. Kara awoke from her 18-year slumber and she saved Lex Luthor from drowning. Later, she changed into Earth clothing and flew away from the Smallville Water Tower into the sky. After her ship goes missing, Kara and Clark went in search of it before it can explode and find the ship just in time. However, when Kara stops the explosion, the ship disappeared and the blue crystal that her father warned her to protect with her life was also feared lost. Kara never met Lex again after that.
