Ann - I read it that this is Arianna Carlin's double. Officially, she was declared dead after the car accident by Dr. Heller and then given reconstructive surgery and fake papers. We never find out what happens to her in the series. She and Arianna get arrested and that's the last we see of them. Presumably, they're in prison somewhere. Anyway, I read it that the double was the one who was found dead with Clark. As to why he had his hands around her neck... was she taunting him that she'd killed Lois? Or any number of other things, but I still don't buy that he actually killed her. And Clark doesn't actually remember what happened.
So how exactly is Clark going to get back from the snow covered wasteland? Wait till he falls asleep?
