You bring up an excellent point here, Gerry, and one which I'm well aware I will have to deal with somewhere in the trilogy.

(Thank you, by the way, for your lovely compliment about part 1!

)
Would Lex have wanted her anyway? I don't see why not: like Paul, I'm not entirely convinced that his wanting her had to do with Superman. I really do like Jude's comments on the subject and - if Jude doesn't object - may draw on her post when I do get to write that part.
But I think it could have gone either way. Just as it would have gone either way in the series had Lois just opened her eyes a little more about Lex, or if she'd been more willing to listen to Clark.
Looking forward to hearing what others have to say on the subject...
Wendy
