Season Five

In early 2006, she saved Martha Kent from some muggers. This soon lead to her encountering and teaming up with Clark Kent, who was deeply upset by his father's recent death and wanted to get back Jonathan's watch, which one of the muggers had stolen.^[1]

They quickly bonded over their shared grief and anger, but when they confronted the mugger (that also happened to be the man, who killed Andrea's mother), Clark refused to kill the man, while Andrea felt that he deserved to die. Andrea used a piece of Kryptonite to immobilize Clark and killed the mugger. However, before dying, the mugger revealed that he had been acting on orders from someone. He didn't know who, but said that the man had received a phone call from Lionel Luthor.^[1]

Andrea went to LuthorCorp Plaza, with intent to kill Lionel, but was stopped by Clark. Andrea fled the scene and quit her position at the Daily Planet.^[1]
