Well, I definitely got a big kick out of Martha's almost going to jail. I could just see that. And I guess it's helpful for the story that she can forge.
I do have some niggling questions at the back of my mind having to do with Matthew.
Since he's a dare-I-use-the-word? clone of Lois and Clark, how will they explain the physical similarities to his adoptive parents, especially since both Martha and Jonathan have both commented on how much he looks like Clark?
I also don't like the idea that Clark is lying so easily. Yes, I know it's for his son...but Matthew is *his* son. So, is there no way to get around that?
Flying Doc Warner in is a good idea. Perhaps he can find a way to solve the dilemma. One thing I was thinking of was a young woman who had died recently in the Smallville area. Perhaps she could have "given birth" to Matthew.
Another thought. Could Clark say that he had given sperm to a sperm bank and someone (said dead person) had used it. Perhaps it was just a small place (like Doc Warner's office).
Sorry. Just thinking out loud.
But sometimes when I get involved in a story I start to predict which is a sign of a good reader who is interested in the story.
gerry
