My apologies - I have been under attack by RL. I think it used an EMP weapon on us last night - computer issues on top of everything else. Then, I was half-way through the next section when I realized that if Lois remembers the events leading up to being sprayed by Miranda's poison, then she has details on the stories she covered with Clark in the original time-line. Which means she won;t make the same mistakes.
So - back to the drawing board, so to speak...
