So, folks, that’s the end of the second episode. Hope you enjoyed it.

As for those of you waiting for Mayson to die... Hey, that’s not how Superman works!!! You should be ashamed of yourselves!!

I liked the tie-in to Lois's Faraday leaks, how she realized earlier in the story that they came out when she was emotional and now she's honed in on exactly why. Great idea to have her know the answer to their problem all along and just not be able to access it!

I also liked L&C's conversation about Perry knowing "unofficially". I agree with Clark that it will be easier to not slip up by keeping it unspoken between them. Nice.

As for Mayson ... oh, Mayson, you are such a disappointment. I really believed she wasn't evil, but her willingness -- if not eagerness -- to reveal Clark's secret after all his successful rescue, let alone her immediate thought that he would have just let her die tells me otherwise. Well, OK, maybe not evil, but clearly she is very in touch with her dark side. Let's hope she'll wise up after continued exposure to L&C and will see the errors of her ways.

One minor possible continuity question at the very end of the story, though --
Mayson has already seen Lois with Shadow, in the police station when Clark jumped out the window. After telling Mayson off, Lois grabbed Shadow's halter and stormed out. So would Mayson be so baffled to see Lois with a dog again? I'd be willing to believe she was just shaken up by the car bomb, but the fact that she was so quick to ask why Clark didn't just let her die to protect his secret makes me think she's thinking pretty clearly. Anyway, minor thing, but something that caught my attention.

So ... episode three starting tomorrow? Pretty please with a dog biscuit for Shadow on top?

Oooh. Mayson lives! You had me at the edge of my seat there. I was like: Oh, no! Mayson's going to die and everyone going to think... well, if they knew that she was blackmailing / extorting CK... he'd be suspect #1! The big question is, what is she going to do now?

My theory, I'm thinking she'll still want to tell. I know, she really should be deciding now it's a good thing keeping quiet... but if she was willing to tell after he saved the mayor, the mayor's daughter, and all those hostages out of vindictive spite... I don't see her changing her tune.

Another missing hole to fill. Who was Mayson going to tell?

But another nice aspect to Mayson living: no reason for Dan Scardino to show up, right? Sigh, no, you'll proabably bring him in to make Clark nervous... there was still a "bomb" even if Mayson lived.

I, too, liked that L&C know that Perry knows... unofficially. Perry's a riot. I'm guessing if he knows officially... instead of unofficially... he'd feel obligated as editor of the DP to... well... write about it. Unofficially knowing, he has the out of not having the cold hard facts on Superman's secret identity.

So, I can think of another way to raise Lois's adrenaline levels that has nothing to do with roller-coasters. Please! Lois. Clark. I cannot think I'm the only one of us who thought of this (actually, I'm surprised that Perry -- knowing your current relationship -- didn't mention this alternative method. Well, he probably did THINK of it, but was too much of a gentleman - and your boss - to actually mention it outloud). But, hey, just an idea. Lots and lots of practice and she might be able to control those leaks and figure out how to cure Clark's blindness. But if you'd rather get your thrills at the amusement park... whatever rocks your boat.

Oh, dear. Leit & Munch are dead. That's not good. That means that someone with Intergang has the Faraday device. Not good at all, because it's probably someone who doesn't read instructions well and will mess up its application in some way, making poor Superman come out of hiding and clean up more messes. Sigh.

Loving the story! In case you didn't notice with all my sarcasm. Not about loving the story... that wasn't sarcasm. I'm rambling, so I'm just going to go back to writing my own stuff now and shut up.

Delightful. And I for one am pleased you kept Mayson alive.

Sometimes, fanfic is just so much more satisfying than the tv show itself, and this story demonstrates that so well.

I'm not even sure I can remember all of the things I love about this story, but I think I love the interaction between Lois and Clark the best. Your characterizations are fantastic.

I can't wait for Episode 3!

So Mayson didn't blow up. I know, I know, I should be ashamed of myself. But it's okay. If she had died it would have been too easy a solution and good stories never take the easiest route. This way we can have more chapters of Lois and Clark coming up with ideas to shut up the blond loose-tongued.

And I agree: why would Lois need a roller-coaster when she has Clark to raise her adrenaline levels? Give them an uninterrupted weekend and I bet he can make her adrenaline levels sky rocket. :p Lois will win the Nobel prize in science. Ok, maybe not because it wasn't her invention, but she may be able to find the cure to Clark's blindness and the homeless men's programing.

I know, it can look like just an attempt to get more Lois & Clark action... What can I say, it's not my fault that they are so good together.

Glad you guys enjoyed episode two.

Oops. My bad. For some reason, I forgot that they had seen each other at the police station. And Clark hadn't had Shadow yet during the confrontation at the Daily Planet. Thanks for pointing that out.

Oooo... Interesting idea. And maybe Mayson told someone at the DA's office that she knew something incriminating about Clark that he didn't want her to reveal. Of course, they would feel morally obligated to pass that information on to the police - especially since Clark was the one holding the body when she was exploded.

Thank you so much. I'm actually looking forward to the day when technology gets to the point where we can turn our stories into episodes. Wouldn't that be fun?

No. No. I would never think that.

Anyway, thanks for the comments. Enjoy you're 'satified end of episode feeling' because as of midnight tonight... I intend to shoot it all to hell.

Hey, look! Is that a rabbit over there?

Congratulations, Michael.

I'm off to read...

Darn, Mayson didn't die!! I guess if she becomes an ally for the time-being, that is okay. But she MUST die. She can't know the secret. You must silence her!! :p

Loving the story and really looking forward to Clark getting his eyesight back. You always keep me on the edge of my seat! Great writing!
