Sorry, Pam, for being late with the comments, but then I've been terribly busy.
All I have to say is EEP! Clark's been hit with the Kryptonite that was unearthed by the storm. Guess this is happening before Wayne Irig had a chance to go out to find it. Even though Clark's now powerless for a few days, there is one big plus to all this. Because Wayne doesn't send it to Wichita for analysis, Trask never comes out to look for the rock. And because he never looks, nobody will know there are any rocks that could hurt Superman. And that means no cage for Luthor, either, or any of the other villains in future episodes with red or green Kryptonite.
On the bad side, though, that means Trask doesn't get killed, so he'll be around to cause more mischief for our favorite couple.
I'm enjoying this story a lot. Now, I'm going to move onto Part 5.
