In the [[Smallville (season 8)|season eight]] episode "Bride", [[Justice League (Smallville)|Oliver Queen]] ([[Justin Hartley]]), believing he is tracking Lex Luthor who has been missing since the season seven finale, discovers Lana instead. Oliver convinces her to return to Smallville so that she can attend Chloe's wedding.<ref>{{cite episode|title=Bride|series=Smallville|credits=Al Septien & Turi Meyer (writers) & Allison Mack (director)|network=The CW|airdate=November 20, 2008|season=8|number=10}}</ref> In the season eight episode "Power", it is revealed that Lana really returned so that she could steal Lex's "Prometheus" technology for herself, which harnesses alien DNA into a [[nano-technanite]] "super-suit" to give the wearer superhuman abilities. By the end of the episode, the procedure is complete, and Lana becomes just [[Superwoman|as strong and invulnerable]] as Clark.<ref>{{cite episode|title=Power|series=Smallville|credits=Al Septien & Turi Meyer (writers) & Allison Mack (director)|network=The CW|airdate=January 29, 2009|season=8|number=13}}</ref> In the episode "Requiem", Lana discovers that her suit absorbs kryptonite, but also emits the radiation making her a potential danger to Clark. When [[Toyman|Winslow Schott]] puts a kryptonite bomb on the roof of the ''Daily Planet'' under Lex's orders, Lana is forced to absorb all of the kryptonite to deactivate the bomb. As a result, she leaves Smallville to go on her own quest as Clark can no longer get near her without the kryptonite radiation hurting him.<ref>{{cite episode|title=Requiem|series=Smallville|credits=Don Whitehead & Holly Henderson (writers) & Michael Rohl (director)|network=The CW|airdate=February 5, 2009|season=8|number=14}}</ref>
