Okay, finally caught up with this up til part 8... (it was a really really busy weekend). This plot has more twists and turns than any I've seen in a while, it seems like, though that could be an effect of reading 7 parts in one go <g>
So... yay, Lois has part-way come to her senses and agreed to marry Clark. It's scary that Lex was thorough enough to have talked to Judge Lakin even before the Kents got there -- but at least he lied & protected them. It was probably the best he could do, under the circumstances.
Now, I'm scared that Lex is planning to kill Lois, because Clark won't be able to protect her... now would be a really great time for his powers to come back, hint, hint.
Oh, and he really really *really* shouldn't marry her without mentioning that Superman thing. He should do it now, while he still looks pathetic and pitiable <g>
So... when do we get more?
