Part Ten
I am enjoying this story immensely! In the TV series, we viewers were treated to 'jumps' in what happened after Lex killed himself. Here, we see what took place in between the 'jumps'. For instance, Lois and Clark slowly working there way back to friendship. There are several stories that talk about them after the Daily Planet is rebuilt, but precious few which delve into their relationship before hand. Kudos to you!
“Oh, they’re not too much of a nuisance,” Lois tried to assure her, adopting a cheery tone, while trying to stop the giant lump in her throat from growing. Martha was showing more concern for her wellbeing than her own mother had. “They’ll give up soon.”
This is my one pet peeve. Ellen Lane was loud, opinionated and yes, a recovering alcoholic, but underneath all that, she did care for her daughter. Phyllis Coates appearance, although brief, showed a woman who was fiercely loyal to her child and not someone who would abandon her and spend two weeks at a spa. I would like to think she would have given those reporters milling around Lois's apartment a piece of her mind. It is a shame the writers did not allow her to become Ellen Lane rather than Beverly Garland.
Otherwise this story is awesome.
Love Perry's appearance just as the argument was getting heated. Talk about timing!
