-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK -- True. Although Lex has it more out of proactive than defensive evil.
CLARK: It really doesn't matter WHY he has it, now does it? He has it, and that's bad in my books.
Not exactly. At least he has never seen it in action.
LEX: Mrs. Cox! Time to run some more tests!
This is the hardest question to answer to date.
Because without this mythical rock, there wasn't any glue to hold the story together.
This hurt him more than Lois realizes. Seeing Lana again had just torn him up, and learning about Rachel's death. And being exposed. So I guess he was not feeling supper, and when Lois laughed it was just too much.
LOIS: And this is MY fault? If he had just shown me the truth, instead of giving up after his first attempt...
I guess she does have a point. I still feel for Clark though.
CLARK: Thank you, John. That was a painful time in my life (no pun intended).
She is mostly right. Still, he was feeling down about everything.
And if he had told her the truth?
I was wondering if she would remember the watch at this point.
Not yet.
Maybe if she explained everything that had happened.
LOIS: Oh, well, being a poker player, I find it better not to show people all my cards.
This is why I always dislike Cat in this story. She seems to have a role that properly belongs to Lois.
But then we don't have the gooey center of chocolate covered story.
On the other hand, I would say Lois has a too simplistic view of Cat, but this is really Cat's fault.
She has a better disguise than Clark then.
Only in her mind, not his.
She doesn't know this.
Lois admitted she was wrong.
She's feeling a bit down on herself at the moment.
This is true. Although he was still rushing to Cat.
But only to thank her for all of her help and to grab his boots.
I am surprised she did not analyze the way he used Superman to postpone her filing the story.
She doesn't want to think of him as devious.
Henderson,
Yes, but he beat out Lois by two days.
LOIS:

Wally, Ralph,
Now she is just being silly.
Her confidence has been shaken, and this shows how much.
Amazingly enough, no. He has no suspicion at all.
LEX: I'm sorry, I didn't catch that. What am I supposed to know and don't?
No I think that is just his over-protective father bit.

No, but we hope not many more figure out.
CLARK: I've got to agree with John here. It's enough that Lois, Cat, the Kents, and Carlos know.
LOIS: ....er... Clark?
CLARK: What?
PERRY: That conversation didn't happen, young lady.
LOIS: Nothing. Nothing at all, Clark.
HENDERSON: Does it get hot wearing long underwear in the summer, Kent?
CLARK:
Is there anyone who doesn't know?
JIMMY: Know what?
Nah, she figured it out way faster than canon-Lois.
She had some extra help.
Now she is just being unreasonable. I guess she is feeling a little down. Which is why Clark was probably right to not tell her when he did not have time to talk it through with her. Well, I still think he had enough time before flying off to stop nightfall, and it would have made things a lot easier, but I do see why he tried for a good time.
This is why Clark didn't want to reveal and run... uh... fly.
Hmm, I don't think anyone doubts that.
RALPH: I doubt it.
PERRY: Don't listen to him, honey.
LOIS: When have I *ever* listened to him?
I am really scared that this will put her in a lot of danger.
CLARK: Hey! I was going to say that.
Well, I am glad we get one more installment before the slight break. I am hoping Lois and Clark will talk in that one.
They talk... to each other?...
