"Twenty four hours later"

Shouldn't Clark be dead?

Interesting that Lex puts out that Lois died in childbirth so he can keep the child without having to worry about her ever contesting him for custody of the child. And we all know that Lex has the means to take care of any 'legal' paperwork ramifications that would need to be dealth with. The question becomes... why? If all he wants is the kid, why is he keeping Lois around?

Lex is a nasty dude, but he's also practical. Keeping Lois and Clark around just to gloat seems a bit too impractical. I guess every villian needs his audience.

Tank (who thinks that Lois should just escape and run far away... let Lex keep the kid)
