With the ripples of the rock in a stream, these lives are so connected that people who never met Clark still felt the changes because he was not in the picture. Lois is stirring up a whole hornet's nest of things by looking for this person who is not alive right now. But the sting will not be as bad as the gaping hole left without Clark in the picture.
I like how your mind works. Martha is going to kick out a paying/working customer to protect a secret from years ago? I can't wait to see how they are going to make this come back together with all the puzzle pieces fit together.
