Ohh, angst!
Poor Clark. I'm sure most soldiers who return from the war can't simply readjust to "normal" life just like that.
Poor Lane! His beloved Dad has finally come home, and then there are quarrels and arguments, and Dad is angry!
I wouldn't be me if I didn't feel even more sorry for Lois. Like her, I would so not let Lane drink that blue gunk, and then Clark gets upset because of that! But I think my deep commiseration with Lois is somewhat misplaced, because she seems strong and smart.
I think things will get better.
