Hi Barbara!
Clark was gone as if he'd never been there in the first place. But the icy slope he'd created melted before her eyes.
I guess she won’t be chasing after MagiKal’s cape while friend-zoning Clark.
LOIS: Unless it helps him cope?
Because Houdini represented Clark more than anything, he reinforced the strange events of the night and sort of proved that she hadn't just been hallucinating.
HOUDINI: You bet your tail I’m worried. Food giver is missing and it’s supper time soon. I want my snack!
LOIS: You speak?
HOUDINI: Yes , I speak. Unless you’re hallucinating?
He released a low growl, baring his teeth as if Clark was behind him in need of his protection. Lois kept a respectful distance.
HOUDINI: Did you smash a door in food giver’s face? Call food giver a good boy? Sniff the crime boss’s backside?
Yet he chose to work as a freelance reporter covering dog shows.
CLARK: Houdini likes the VIP access to the female contestants.
Naturally, Houdini didn't reply. He just tilted his head and started wagging his tail.
HOUDINI: Food giver come to chicken woman?
what’s with the dog? Are they implementing safety measures for overzealous reporters back at the Planet?”
Yep. The higher-ups think that a male companion will make the Mad Dog more amenable to safe compromises. Unfortunately, they used that phrasing in the HR request, too, and now there’s a dog instead of a man in the Daily Planet’s employ.
But would Clark think of her as a friend now that he'd revealed his identity in front of her, a reporter?
No, Clark revealing himself in front of her means he does not see her as a “friend”.
. She doubted the setter would be patiently following her if his master were close.
HOUDINI: Food giver follow good smell two foot. I follow good smell two foot and find food giver.
Or was something else going on? She was worried for him. It had been almost two hours since his hasty retreat.
Two whole hours?
LOIS: What do you mean ‘helicopter mom’?
"What am I going to do with you?" Lois wondered aloud and looked at the dog at her side.
Find out if her cooking really tastes like doing food?
he could have made a fortune with his tricks. And yet he decided to live in an old trailer that looked so worn that it seemed like pure luck it hadn’t fallen apar
Don’t worry, it’s the Tardis model.
“You know where I live?” He sounded surprised rather than angry.
A good reporter has her sources.
A smile flashed across Clark’s face. “That’s a relief. He’s a good judge of character, this one.”
Aww, he has his dog sniff out all his prospective girlfriends before bringing them home.
LOIS: “all”?
Fan as always! And looky there, with me being a wee bit late, there’s another up already
