It sure doesn't look too good for our hero now. Our heroine is going to... hmmm, not sure what. But it won't be pleasant.
I'm commenting on the entire story so far, since I just read it all yesterday. I particularly loved the fact that Lucas was from KY. Brilliant on his part!
Nice mix of three separate - or no, is that four? - plots here. Someone's a bit too interested in Lois. There's more to Lucas than met the eye way back when he was alive. Clark left the revelation unsaid at the... critical moment. And there's suspicious things happening that appear to be aimed at... whoever happens along, as Clark and Lois have both noted.
I'm with Tank, waiting bated-ly.
