I figure I better clarify a few things, John. Firstly, I responded to your FDK at 2am, and didn't do my usual re-read-through of it before posting. My apologies.

Well, he probably would come home eventually.
At some point, we do learn what happened during those nights from Clark's POV.
I figure it doesn't because she got out the jail without Lex being there, but I guess she does not know he had been watching her. I thought she took it off around Clark because he hates the watch, with a passion.
Correct. 2 points. It doesn't, but she's not sure, which is why she keeps taking it off.
For fates we should read the EW.

I wish she would just give up the stupid Lex investigation.
And let Lex attack Superman with Kryptonite again?
I guess that is the one good thing about how things happen in canon, Lois choses Clark over Lex without knowing Lex is a crook. Although it is unclear that Clark ever learns this fact.
I didn't know that, because when I first watched it was on Netflix's instant list, and the 10 minutes prior to Henderson / Perry barging into the wedding had been cut.
When I finally bought the DVD, I was like.

Now THIS makes more sense.
I was thinking thought that Lois does things towards her investigation of Luthor. It is unclear Clark actually does anything as part of his investigation of Luthor.
So, running in quicksand doesn't count? Do we ever see Clark actively investigating Luthor in canon either?

So we skipped over Sunday. It is good I ask, otherwise I would be lost. Perry's birthday was the 17th, so this is the 21st of March, 1992, right?
Yikes! Have they time-warped again? 1994!
Lois:I am not Luthor's woman.
Reader:The undercover, bought with a watch outward cover you are using for your investigation is.
LOIS: Okay, you've got to stop calling me that. I was told that the watch only cost, at most, $500; otherwise I would have returned it like it as I did with that one from Christmas. I'm also using his technology against him. Knowing that he is watching me and my every move, I've got to walk that very narrow tightrope. Sometimes, I slip. But if anyone thinks I would EVER sell myself to *any* man -- let alone a criminal like Lex -- for that paltry a sum, they don't know me at all.
EW: Clark is still under the delusion that LoLex = Rolex in this dimension, which it doesn't.
No, the children of your cousins are first counsins once removed. In some states you can marry your first counsin even. However I was indexing for family search some marriage records (I think from Iowa), and they specifically said "is the person more closely related than a second counsin", which would suggest they would not let you marry you 1st consin's child, but they would let you marry the child of your parents 1st cousin.
And in many states it's legal for a 14 y.o. to marry (with permission from their parents). Why this would ever be allowed and the parents wouldn't be held accountable for child-selling, child endangerment, or child neglect and/or abuse for allowing this, is beyond my comprehension. Just because it is LEGAL doesn't mean it is right.
, although I had not realized he knew she accepted the date.
Mr. Super Ears didn't hear her accept Lex's lunch offer?
That does not mean he should go along with it anymore than absolutely necessary.
He's just giving it back with as much as she is.
Clark:Why am I supposed to trust her again?
LOIS: Because I'm trying to save your life, lunkhead!
Maybe she could just tell Clark "I know what you did all last night".
Okay, that's even vague enough for Clark to be
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/konfus/s040.gif)
I still hold there is not enough in the story.
Watch out what you wish for.
Why again is Lois willing to meet with Lex when she barely escaped the Arc?
Because she doesn't know everything you do about Luthor.
But if Lois was permanently removed from the picture, Cat might have a chance with Clark.
Cat doesn't believe that... well, not anymore.
EW: Well, Cat knows that she and Lois know that Lois is having sex only with Clark, so she figured Lois knew she was referring to Clark.
JOHN: This might actually work if Lois was 'having sex" with Clark, but since she's not, the change is too abrupt. Whatever happened at the hospital doe not make it common enough for Lois to respond properly to Cat's inquiry.
Yes, but looking at the whole thing from Cat's POV, she thinks they've been at it for months.
Hmm, did I misunderstand Lois's statement, or is this another case of lead and switch. Although, I guess it makes a lot more sense for Lois to be saying she is not the type of friend who feels up to sharing that with Cat.
Lois was being obtuse on purpose in case anyone overheard.
Since we are in the midst of the Linda King scenes, I just rewatched "The Rival" and have decided that much of fan fiction ignores the apparent level that Lois had been friends with Linda King. Of course, it might not help that she never brings up Linda at all in any other episode. Not even to the point of telling Charlie "I hope you aren't related to Linda".
I've always wondered that as well, but it is a common enough surname, much more so than Bender or Carlin. :rolleyes:
Okay, here's my second (that follows my "first" from above:
JOHN: But he does seem to fit the libertine lifestyle of a rake, using and abandoning women.
EW: He doesn't?
LEX: I don't? Hmmm. I need to step up my efforts in that quarter.
JOHN: I said "he does seem to fit". Maybe starting with the but was confusing, but I said he did fit that model.
I misread this as "he DOESN'T seem to fit"
Although without Clark, does Lex have as much motive to want Lois?
LOIS:
![[Linked Image]](http://cosgan.de/images/smilie/boese/e035.gif)
EXcuse me?
I guess Lex Jr. wanting the lady who almost was his stepmother was disturbing. Although maybe the truly disturbing thing was Lois dating someone old enough to be her father.
'cause *that's* not common in this society at all.
EW: Better Mayson than that crooked DA who wants Lois to go to prison.
JOHN: Actually since Mayson is the ADA, I always assumed she worked for Clemmons.
She does, but Clemmons isn't taking a personal vested interest in Lois's case this time as he did in S4.
JOHN: I half wonder if his methods of "persuasion" would be fully legal and ethnical.
EW: Now, why, John, would you ever consider such a thing about an attorney who works at Bender and Associates?
JOHN: Oh, I don't know.
In a disturbing, overly power exerting way.
Again, he's Lex.
If she can't avoid telling such important details, maybe she needs to give up being a position where she might accidentally do so.
Oh, come on. Even Clark slips up every once and a while and says stuff like "lead lined" and "her pulse rate was over XYZ". He can mess up, but Lois can't? That's not fair.
See, I knew she should have stayed at his place.
Still, Clark wasn't there.
Because he is too overconfident in his ability to overawe her.
Possibly, but he also knows her history, and isn't likely to drop that bomb on her until it's too late.
Those would be hard charges to get to stick, especially with Bender and Associates on his side. He did not force them into the arc, and he has not actually physically prevented them from leaving.
Are you sure?
Some people do not deserve compassion.
LOIS: Oh, so, Clark... er.... Superman is allowed to be compassion to everyone, but I have to pick and choose. Gee, that's a double standard.
She assumes too quickly that Lex is not like Cat.
She had no evidence to the contrary in "Another Lois" until she dug around for it.
And this would be my "thirdly" to my second and Firstly above.
JOHN: We really did not get any interactions between Lois and Clark this part.
EW: I'm really trying to avoid those.
JOHN:
I *meant* I'm trying to avoid parts where they never interact at all, but sometimes the plot dictates it. My apologies for any confusion.
