What a way to spend a birthday! I'm guessing that the tears and hugs from the preview are from the whirlwind of the day and not anything sinister (see I can do optimism!). Like they said earlier, LnC can't do anything about the crazy dictator (who just might happen to impale himself during the civil war, right?), but they were able to catch a bad guy--and that puts some things about their lives back in their control. I feel like hugging them too.
I like that Clark is getting more touchy. I would like to see Lois initiate some of that too. Another great part is the way they are working together. They make great partners and I think Clark will soon realize how much of a helpmate Lois is with his identity as a whole. He can't be all he can be without her.
"Is it a bird?" "Is it a plane?" "No! It's... Mr. Incredible?"
Looking forward to more!
