The last chapter did NOT end at a cruel place. It ended at the perfect place. Secret not-boyfriend is now outed in the newsroom. Jimmy approves. Perry approves, too, although we (and they) already knew that. Even Cat approves (of the relationship, not so much the brush-off Clark gave her).
I'm stunned. Lois let him edit her copy. No, really, he edited her copy! Without being asked! And she smiled! Incredible in the classic sense!
And - this is actually the topper - she took his suggestion on the story. Completely unprecedented. We'll have to watch for a rain of frogs in the next chapter.
Don't tell me you're not putting these two through severe emotional pain. Seeing the goodbye at the taxi was wrenching. And the cabbie could take Clark to the airport via Michigan and Clark wouldn't know it.
Next chapter, please. Make the earth spin faster so Monday can come sooner.
