/me heaves a big sigh of relief.
Thank you, ML. I loved this part, that Clark has returned, has figured out the truth about Charlie, has somehow protected his secret, and that even though Clark didn't immediately know that Charlie was his son, he's still been acting father in Lois' absence.
My wild speculation for today is that somehow Clark's secret is still a secret because of the incident with the shooting. Or maybe it has something to do with growing the beard?
If Tempus still showed up as in the original timeline, wouldn't there have been much more havoc caused by a different Lois Lane showing up? Charlie would probably know right away that she wasn't his mom, but how would a young boy explain that? And talk about reopening the wounds...
