Uuhm, while I know there's nothing that could be done and all, I do feel I need to mention it

There's one teeny tiny thing I don't like about this story
The posting schedule. Two days between parts in AR was hard. 3-4 days between parts in TMTY is pure torture

But I'm guessing it serves as just one more way to make us connect with the torture Trask put Clark through
Okay, now back to the happy bits. Okay, not happy, but, oh well...
I didn't Sam's stroke coming. And unless there's an unexpected turn around, he will probably stay this way and serve as a means for Lois to stay, and to have some real world connection to suffering in addition to her ward, with whom she can't connect but through a one-way mirror.
It's too bad the VCR was set to looping, otherwise Lois could have verified Moyne's story and figured out that it's all fabrication. After all, I do not think Clark would attack somebody trying to remove the empty bowl and towel. Maybe, and that's a big maybe, if it's still half-full. But it would serve little purpose for him. Better to let them take it and hope for a fresh bowl.
And Lois is going to feed Clark prime restaurant food
