What if Lionel 'accidently' killed Jonathan shortly after the meteor shower--like ran him over with a car. :-) It has nice cross-generational parallels, and I totally believe that Lionel would have given Martha a whopping big payout, grovelled and begged her to stay on the farm. He's the master manipulator--he could totally spin that. I could make Lionel do that by... oh, I don't know... kidnapping him and making him do it! He could hardly say 'an evil girl from the future made me do it' to them, so he would have genuine guilt about the death which would make his grovelling all the more convincing.
So Martha's already adopted Clark, she doesn't blame him for the death of J and she can stay on the farm. YAY!
