I've always liked using Lucy as a foil or a plot driver in stories because her character was so thinly-defined on the show. We know that she has bad taste in men - different from Lois' bad taste, but still disastrous. We also know that her ambition level is much lower than Lois' is, probably for the same reason (lack of parental stability and father's approval). Lucy just reacted differently. She doesn't have as much education as Lois does, and she all but refuses to settle on a career choice. Other than that, though, a writer can make Lucy just about anything he or she wants.
And I noticed that Lucy even differentiates herself from her sister in her choice of ice cream. I wonder if she really likes vanilla or if she just wants to be different from Lois.
This date with Clark and Lucy has some real relationship disaster potential. What if Rebecca wants to see Clark and Lucy more often? What if (and I think this very likely) Lois crashes the date and gets all possessive of Clark? What if she challenges Clark to pick her or Lucy and he chooses to stay with Lucy just because he said he would? How might that affect Lois?
This one looks very interesting, Alisha. I'll be watching to see just where it does go. I'm sure it will be a corker.
