I did miss Clark this part but I do understand why you couldn't include him. After all, then we would have known that Lois didn't abort or offer Charlie up for adoption. As if.
As for why he hasn't shown up. Well, if this new timeline means Lois will be safe and sound till they meet again he wouldn't come back just to tell her she wasn't raped and that the kid is his and drop off some money. Which would probably be forgery anyhow. One needs to keep things in perspective here.
I do wonder if Sam and Ellen are simply trying to enforce their will or if they do it because they don't want Lois to raise a child they think was conceived by rape. And how did they know about the GHB, as in, did Lois tell them after Clark was gone that she was the one drugged but got away?
Perry was great. LOL on the amendment. Isn't it great if the law protects you from having to admit to your fluffy side? And allows you to teach a hotshot reporter a lesson.
The broken water scene was hilarious.
I kept wondering about Lois moving into the sorority house. Say, is Ellen also paying for it?
Plus Linda of all people dropped the first hint about the father
As for the quotes...
He was a guy I met around that time. He was just visiting some friends at the University. One thing led to another and... It was only once, but I guess you know what they say, once is all it takes.
To be fair, she did try more than once
“I’m not joking,” Lois objected. “Once is sometimes all it takes. Or was something left out of the sex education you gave me?”
Yes. Condoms. And what they are meant for.
Molly tilted her head as she studied the baby. “Yeah, I guess I can see that. Well, Charlie... how exactly do you feel about being the first male member of Alpha Nu Rho?”
/C-3PO voice/ Wonderful! We are now a part of the tribe.
And even if it's pointless, I'm going to reiterate my plea for you to show mercy to your poor, tortured followers.
Oh, and did I mention I loved the part, even if I kept reading with the tightly knotted stomach?
