How frustrating that the camera didn't pick up on the details at the door, but I am glad that the video did cast some doubt on Moyne's story. Good riddance!
Scardino has always been a little obnoxious, but his inability to act before Trask's death and his unwillingness to believe Lois' story make me dislike him even more. What happened to his thoughts on Lois' reputation at the beginning of the story? IIRC, Lois is known as the consummate agent. I understand that she's coming off of a bad mission and her partner was brutally killed, but does one tough situation trump her excellent record in this business? Besides, if she's good enough to get the job, then they need to trust her judgement and let her run the operation as her experience and conscience dictates. Aaarrgh! I get so frustrated at seeing such a blatant example of men not accepting a woman working in a "man's" profession.
My heart ached for Clark at the end. Lois came into the operation and he experienced such a turn-around in fortune. He's got to be feeling that his actions have ruined everything - real food, a way to wash himself, being treated with decency... Clark has probably jumped to the conclusion that something must have happened to Lois. He can't avoid the similarities to the other two men that treated him well - and they were both brutally murdered in his cell while he was incapacitated by the Kryptonite! Now his dinner is late. I can only imagine what kind of guilt and sadness he must be experiencing now.
I still hate the waiting that comes between story posts, but I can't seem to stop reading.
More soon? Please?
