Much as I missed Lois and Clark, we needed this part. Well done.
I'm glad Evan tried to tell Martha his part in Clark's ordeal, and even more glad Martha cut him off.
I cannot wait to read part 21 (and the epilogue!)
Oh, and I forgot to tell you before that I liked the curtain of Clark's mind being torn apart. Whether intentional or not (and I assume they are, but even if they aren't) I just wanted to let you know that the occassional Biblical images employed in your stories do not go unnoticed or unappreciated.
