25 - Heartbreaking. Everyone knows how Clark feels about Lois, and how cheesy he can be (even if he doesn't admit it to himself), but he knows the truth. He doesn't have the guts to risk his heart a second time. This only means that there's someone out there who might get her attention before he builds up the courage to be more than just a friend again. I love this, especially the last line. Perfectly captured the moment.
26- Oh, I could just feel Mayson's heart swelling in love for Clark. In that instant, she saw everything good about him, everything that Lois didn't notice in a year of being his partner. You have to admire Mayson for that. She never had blinders on when it came to Clark. Just reading her thoughts and perceptions, I'm falling in love with all over again. He's really that irresistible.
27 - Jimmy sure has come far in the past year. From glorified gofer to the heart of a newsman. He's earned Perry's respect. I'm betting that's not as easy a task as Lois and Clark have made it seem. Good for him!
