I don't see what's wrong with the way Wendy ended this section. Seems perfect to me.

What do you mean, cliffhanger? What do you mean, evil? Tutut. Perfect, I say! And no, not just because I happen to have read it all.
Fantastic premise, Wendy. I don't know how you do it, but you always manage to come up with a new angle for Lois and Clark's relationship. So... what do those men she dates have that Clark doesn't? Probably the incredible charm and sweetness that would many any woman fall in love with him. Happy sigh.
