An excellent part!
I'm glad that you have Lois questioning Lex's motives. She really needed to realize that Lex does everything for a reason. And the reason usually is to his benefit.
The introspection is excellent. Extremely well-written!

And yay, Nigel! I really like how he confronts Luthor.
You did a great job bringing all the loose ends together. I'm looking forward to Clark's visit to Lois. One of them has to take the initiative. They have a lot to say to each other.
