Having the Major not realize that Lois is really an investigative reporter is fun so far, but I'm surprised that the station manager didn't recognize the name. Especially considering that the space station's origin point was from EPRAD and Metropolis. And once Lois is 'outed', so what? Will that really be a big deal?
Interesting observation, Tank. And it's a logical question. What I didn't show was that the station manager DID recognize Lois's name and assumed that Karen had done something really smart by recruiting her. He also assumed that Karen knew who Lois really was, and Karen assumed that she'd put a little something over on him. Remember, they don't get along very well, and there was no reason for them to say any more to each other than absolutely necessary.

Karen will eventually find out what Lois's job really is. And you'll want to be there for the fireworks.
