When does an almost friendship become comfortable trust and that trust a warm cocoon? For Clark, perhaps, on a simple shopping trip. But
with the return of his powers after months with out sun,
will the temptation to take to the skies overwhelm him? Will (can) he take Lois? Inquiring minds want to know.
It's amazing, isn't it, how something so mundane can mean so much to one person? For Clark, a simple shopping trip is a shining beacon of freedom, independence, trust, and learning to depend on others in a cooperative, rather than controlling, manner. For the first time, he's being treating as an adult and as an equal and it means everything to him.
Yes, his powers will be making a return, sooner or later. But what will he choose to do with them? Has Lois made a big enough impression on him to make him use them responsibly?
It's all coming up, I promise!
