Lois must feel like she's looking at a big jigsaw puzzle with most of the edge pieces in place. She can almost see the finished product, but because it's not something she's envisioned before, she can't quite identify it. But she knows it's something familiar, something that elicits a positive reaction in her.

When will Clark figure out that he also needs sunlight in order to heal? When will Capone and company learn that Clark isn't dead? What will Nigel do when he finds out, and what will he surmise? And where the heck is Jimmy?

Very good story. Very tight, very 'in character' for all the major participants. Keep it up!
