Lois of this reality means Clark of this reality means answers! You didn't tell us this was a good 2x4! Of course, I'm not sure this doesn't just bring up more questions, but I choose to see this as a positive development.

I do have to wonder if there is some significance in what Lois of this reality is carrying back to her apartment. What is in that paper bag?

Oh yeah, I should mention that I thought this chapter was great!
