Ditto all of the above. Although Maddie might surprise us if Clark does tell her the secret - or if she accidentally learns it. Wouldn't that be a pretty pickle?

I like this concept of Clark and Lois slowly fumbling their way towards each other despite the obstacles in their way - Paul, Maddie, their own inexperience and immaturity, their hormones, the Boy in Black (great idea, that), Star and her psychic shots in the dark, Steve (ick!), the Titan, the Daily Planet, the internship competition, all of it. It takes me back to my days in college, when I knew all the answers and just couldn't get anyone to ask me the right questions. Clark and Lois remind me of myself back then.

It's a fun ride so far, and I'm certain it will only improve. It's about time to put some real pressure on Clark. Maybe Maddie, maybe her slimy cousin, maybe the volcano, maybe Lois, maybe something completely unexpected. But it's coming, I'm sure of it.
