In a matter-of-fact way, Perry answered, "No. For one thing, any connection I made would probably be vague and not particularly useful. For another, if I did that it would seem like I cared more about telling my story than helping you with your problem. What's goin' on, Darlin? Is it related to what we discussed yesterday?"
"Yeah, Perry. This thing is a lot more difficult than we thought it would be. Clark was gone most of the night following up on leads. I missed him being in bed with me. I hope we can resolve this thing quickly so that we can get back to normal."
I was wondering how you were going to work on this segment of the episode which was about trust. Now Lois adamantly tells Perry she trusts Clark, yet fears the investigation will put a strain on their marriage. Neatly done!
The discussion between Jack and Clark is another example of what kind of person Clark is. If he had been found by someone without a heart who knows how he might have turned out.
So now on to the next part.
