You know, it strikes me that maybe the reason Lois is keeping that part about how she joined the tribe secret is because she knows that no one would believe that a time-traveling sociopath dumped her there. If that's true, then once Clark and Lois open up enough to compare their whole life stories, they're going to realize that they're both victims.

And I can't imagine Lois taking that news lying down. She's sure to goad Clark into helping her bring Tempus to justice, since he's responsible for both of their situations. And Lana will get her just desserts (gravel pie with a cow pattie on top) along the way.

This, of course, assumes that I'm not totally crazy. And I'm not crazy! My mother had me tested when I was a kid.

Not totally, anyway.
