I, too, loved these chapters. It was cathartic for Lois to say the things she did. I think I wanted to be sure that she knew that she didn't have to stay in a situation where she thought would lead to misery. I'm not saying that staying married to Clark would mean misery... but as long as *she* thinks that, then there really is little hope for change. Attitude precedes action.
I'm glad Nate's surgery went well and that nothing abnormal popped up on the tests. Now he just needs to start gaining some weight and retaining his food.
So... Cruella's back, according to the previews. Since there was a slight confession to almost liking Lana by the author, I'm going to guess that she's heard/read about Nate's problems and is going to be a bit tame and considerate in these next two chapters. Methinks she will be feeling a bit small given the evil thoughts that went through her mind when she found out Lois was pregnant. She probably wished ill, but did not imagine her curses manifesting in the baby.
I look forward to seeing if my train is on the right track.
A demain! (translation: tomorrow)
