Paul, I love this idea! Having suffered from vacationing muse for what seems like months now, this is purely ingenous.

Lois would indeed scour the city for leads. She'd have to have heard the LNN report and of course, is in panic mode. She should find Bobby Bigmouth ASAP. He always knows something. I also like the idea that she'd have to be careful at the pier without Clark to watch out for her. Would she take along Jimmy? Have the cops on stand-by? And with Clark's kidnapping, I can very easily see her 'secret admirer' as Lex. Is he using this to get to Lois a lot sooner? Had his cloning experiments failed? And if so, how did he get out of prison?

We're supposed to be giving you ideas, not more questions! Can't help it. At least you'll have something to think about. thumbsup
