It is an upside down world and it is one because of Lois isn't it? Because she is so stubborn! Sleeping Beauty wakes up because someone loves her but Lois will wake up because someone hates her!
By the way, I love the reference to D H Lawrence - was it Lady Chatterly's Lover that the kid found?
Love the way you have her waking up with her remembering her thoughts and at the same time giving a little bit more information away.
Asha wouldn't tell because Asha, Carmen and Lois all knew what was happening and I suspect that Asha is ...... working out a severe side effect of being bi polar because....
..... Asha is investigating her husband and married him for that reason. She is her real self around the kids. Lois and Carmen know this and are investigating Archer who is at the other end of whatever shady thing is happening. Lucy has disappeared to either protect herself, help protect Lois (because a switcheroo was planned that never took place?) or because she was mistakenly believed to be the one Lois would confide in about what she was investigating. If she was kidnapped by Gary that would explain why she hasn't been found yet. Asha knew it was likely that a hit would be planned which is why she wanted to go to the hospital. If Lois does eventually die, the invesitagtion will proceed and Asha probably will end up being with Clark.
Is Lois alive? Is she breathing but still unable to communicate with anyone? The white blinding light could be her getting used to using her eyes again or it could be her going to heaven except that her heart started beating. So yes - the white light bit is slightly confusing - will all be explained next Saturday? Cannot wait. Why must you write so well - you leave me in awe!
The Little Tornado.
