Moyne isn't changing his mind any time soon. He's invested way too much of his career in this assignment to back up now. This guy is a little bit nuts - like Trask was - and he wouldn't listen to reason if you played it on his Walkman twenty-four/seven. He'd be more likely to believe that Lois had an Achilles rod secreted on her person and used it to beat the beast away. At least, that's probably the tale he'll tell.
And now we know something of what happened to Lois. Was this by any chance Linda King? And is Lois really responsible for Linda's death, or is it survivor's guilt? I can't imagine any agency putting an agent who was responsible for her partner's death in charge of something so sensitive, even if no one else wanted the job.
I think Clark's actions are intended to show Lois that he is not a threat to her or to her staff. And she'd going to reject Trask's reports about the murderous capabilities of the "animal" from now on. If they had captured and tamed a hideous beast, she and Moyne would both be dead and Metropolis would have a super-powered monster roaming the streets.
But they didn't. He isn't. And Lois will realize it as soon as she calms down.
I'm ready for the next section/segment/portion/whatever! Please post it soon.
