Carol, something doesn't compute in this part. Lois and Clark made it through their wedding night with just a few hour delay due to a necessary rescue. This is very strange. And I really don't understand this.
But... rescue is near because when Clark awakes, Lois will be very sick and just a few hours after that, she will be lying dead in his arms, taken by an ancient curse. Then Zara can come and help Clark over his grief
Too dark? Too much of a pavlovian response?
Oh well, I still liked it but did I mention that I will not take a relaxed breath until Backwards is on the archives, adorned with a lovely else-world-Kerth and nothing untoward has happened? /nervously chews fingers/
