I said it before, Sue, but I really liked Bobby in this part, both for the reasons that Emily mentioned and because Clark snuck up on him for once.

Ha, not a chance. Anyone who was a clumsy enough to spill enough of the crushed pill to leave some on her shoe would NOT have gotten enough into her drink to effect her. If they did both they were using such a huge dose that Lois would be dead of an overdose.
Um, can we please try to remember that this story occurs in the same universe as Mentamide 5, Revenge, Space Rats, human/Kryptonian cloning, radioactive perfume, project Valhalla, Resurrection, lifeforce aging chambers, cryogenics, cyborgs, shrinking shampoo, soul-transference and a man named Fathead. I think that being able to identify the chemicals included in a drink spill is definitely in the believable realm of possibility.
Personally, I loved seeing Clark investigate in this chapter. I silently chuckled at the fact that the cops didn't blink an eye at how good Superman was at asking all the right questions. I guess they just chalk it up to another super power.
I also loved Clark's introspection. He gives some good reasons for not telling Lois, but he also realizes the most important reason to tell her - she's already shown him that she's ready to do the scary things for him.
Can't wait for the next part.
