I know, evil cliff-hanger! Now, for those people who shall remain nameless who have been gleefully anticipating the Big Revelation Blow-Up, some thoughts before Part 8:
- This Lois is exhausted. She's been running a mental and emotional marathon since about 9:00 a.m. and it's probably 1:00 or 2:00 in the morning now.
- She has spent all evening being truly loved by a Clark Kent who has never tried to hide part of himself from her. This is not the 'I want Lois to love me for my real self, so I'm not going to actually show her my real self' first- or second-season Clark. This is a grown man with, as far as he's concerned, nothing to hide from his wife.
- She doesn't have much history with the younger Clark. They are work rivals, reluctant partners at best, not really friends yet. So, she has no reason to expect that he *should have* told her The Secret. Nor, really, that she *should have* figured it out.
All this to say, keep an open mind about what comes next ;-)
