Experience reading Female Hawk stories? We know she can go dark, but that she'll safely bring us back out into the light by the end.... right?
Absolutely she does.
But she's also talented enough that the "left hooks" are set up properly and not dropped out the sky. We've seen the darkness in Clark's life so far in this story -- no question about that -- but all we've heard from Lois is how these people instantly welcomed her and cared for her and how, even if she were given the opportunity to leave, she wouldn't take it. She even warned Clark (paraphrasing) that they didn't know about evil and betrayal, so please not to teach it to them. That's why expectations that they'd turn on her just as quickly surprised me; I haven't seen support for that theory in the story and wondered what you were seeing that I wasn't.
