Wow! Thank you all very much indeed!!!
First, and most important, again
happy birthday, Kaethel! 
I'm so glad you're enjoying this so far. You made me ROFL with your thread title!
Had to do something about that!
Plus, of course, with everything going on Clark kind of littered the scene with clues, I thought when I watched the ep again the other morning. Lois even noticed a couple of them. So, as Gerry said, she had to get a clue.
So I'm really glad you've all enjoyed this so far! Thank you!
Oh, and Doranwen:
I especially liked how I could feel Lois's embarrassment by Clark's question “You don’t know why that is, Lois?” By simply describing her actions and not even mentioning the word "embarrassed", you managed to convey the sense of it even better than if you had used the word. I notice you employ that technique all over the place masterfully. It really works WELL.
Thank you! I'm learning a lot more about techniques such as showing and not telling lately, thanks to some writer friends.
I think I've always done it to an extent, but am striving to be better.
Thanks so much again for all your wonderful comments! And especially Sara, who not only wrote an essay here but went beyond the call of duty to BR part 2 late last night.
Part 2 coming up in just a few minutes.
Wendy
