So Lucy's figured out the secret already? And she hasn't told anyone? That's a bit odd, I think. I'd really like to learn how she figured it out, because Lucy doesn't have the reputation of being a deep thinker or a dedicated investigator. Nor do we think of her as a particularly reliable person. But she's obviously all that and a peanut butter sandwich in this story. Go Lucy!

So is Lucy going to be there at the casino with Clark and Lois? Is someone else going to end up being shot, maybe Lucy when she jumps in front of Clark to protect Superman from being exposed? Or will Lucy spill "the secret" to Lois when Clark is dragged out the back door by his heels? You've all kinds of directions this one might go, all of them very interesting.

Sure wish you'd post a little quicker. My desk is getting fingernail scars in the top.
