This story really captures my imagination. What sort of person is Clark without his parents as his moral centre? How is he going to get away from Lex? What will his relationship with Lois be like because she will know about him right from the very beginning?

In my imagination, Clark escapes to respond to a help call and meets lois!

Lois: Clark, you don't have to be embarrassed. That's what friends are for. Just tell me how much.
Clark: Lois, I want you to go out with me!
