Christina: Thank you for the FDK!
This Luthor (and I dare say the main Luthor) would beg to differ.
Lex-C would beg to differ too, but it would be more whiny.
You don't meet someone that would be willing to save a life even if it would benefit him everyday (at least in Clone-Luthor's eyes).
Being that very few people treat him as human, instead of a lab mouse who could easily be replace, so yes, he was impressed by Clark.
D'awwww... Clark probably hadn't even thought of that as a possibility (at least as a way to get out of the cuffs).
Well, Lois had picked the earlier handcuff locks...
Is this the first time he's outright stated his love for her though? If so, I'm sure Lois is glowing internally.
No, but it's been a while.

Hope you're doing well!
