Wow, what a situation. But I'm glad that Lois and Jonathan know that Clark and Becca are definitely in trouble. By the way, I think Jonathan should be able to figure out that the whole kidnapping and blackmail plot that he and Lois heard the bad guys talk about has something to do with Clark. The mentioning of the year 1966 and the fact that Smallville is at the center of this terrifying plot is too suggestive. But of course, Jonathan doesn't know about the existence of Kryptonite.
I keep hoping that Lois will save Clark and Becca, although it was very good to see Clark find it in himself to break open their prison for Becca's sake.
As for that flashback, I rather disliked Lily in it:
“You promised me you would care for Becca tonight,” Lily hissed at him, her eyes gleaming dangerously. “You told me not to worry, said that I should get my much needed rest. And how do I find you…?” Her voice trailed off. She didn't need to remind him of his situation, he was well aware of it.
He tried to remember when he had last slept. It couldn't be more than three days ago, he assured himself. But it had been the weekend then and he knew that he hadn't managed to even close his eyes, let alone take a nap. But it couldn't be…Clark realized, shocked, that it had to have been Thursday. That was more than five days!
Lily had to have her much needed rest, but what about Clark? He hadn't slept in five days!
“I've had my last exams, Lily. Life will be a little calmer now and I promise you this won't happen ever again. I would never want to do anything to harm Becca,” he said apologetically.
Lily shook her head. “No, Clark. It was a mistake to bother you with all this. Can you please look after her today? I'll go and do what I should have had the courage to do long ago.” With these words she handed him Becca and turned around to leave. “Good bye, honey,” she said and brushed a kiss on Becca's cheek before she left.
"Good bye" sounds rather final in English, like, "I'll never see you again". Is Lily knowingly and deliberately walking out on her daughter? And if so, why? It doesn't seem right that she would. Is Margaret Donovan involved?
