Happy birthday, Annie!
Great part. I must confess that I enjoyed seeing Lois so miserable when she fears losing him. She certainly deserves it! She has so long taken Clark's friendship as self-evident.
Lana certainly teaches her something important when she admires him and respects his preferences:
Something pricked her conscience. Clark really had wanted to see that movie. He’d brought it up every time they’d discussed seeing a movie, yet somehow they’d managed to see three other movies instead. Even tonight, when she’d called, she’d been planning to drag him to see another movie. It wasn’t even a movie that she was dying to see. It just hadn’t occurred to her to ask Clark what movie he’d like to see.
Apparently it had occurred to Lana.
It will be fun to see Lois pursueing Clark. Hope she will turn another Mayson, though.
