Crystal, Olympe, woody, Barbara, Jackie and DJ: Thank you all so much for your lovely comments! woddy, I especially love your comment that these two vignettes encompass almost the entire B-plot of the first season. When I saw how brilliantly Crystal explained Lois's motivations during the first season, I just couldn't resist copying her vignette, but exchanging Lois for Clark, to describe my interpretation of Clark's corresponding driving force.
I'm so glad you all think it worked! Thanks!!!
And Crystal... I don't have to tell you that this vignette is for you, do I?
