Hi Morgana,
Thanks for the FDK.
Yes, after their conversation they have decided to have him try to fill in for local Clark. Fortunately since he is supposedly recovering from injuries sustained in the bomb blast he will have time to learn what he needs to know.
Keep in mind that he has,at this point, been interacting with Lois and the Kents for several weeks and we are looking at several more weeks before he will be appearing in Metropolis.
All of this elapsed time will have had the effect of getting everyone beyond the grief at the loss of local Clark and ready to move on.
