Ooh, good catch, Virginia! I'll have to go back and try to make it clearer that Jimmy is only imagining what happened to Clark's body -- and with their heavy gangster roots, he probably WOULD assume he was tossed into the river! I've always thought Lois's reaction to Clark lying in the Foundling was ridiculously over-the-top (not to mention hypocritical int he extreme), but conversely, I find it very intriguing that she had a similar reaction to Superman. He is held to a higher standard, and seeing as how she's the one who first reported on him as a moral pillar -- and how she's lying for him about Kryptonite now -- it felt like an important step for her to have to take in order to be so perfect for Clark when she finally does know his identity. And yeah, I think Clark had to be really, REALLY happy with Lois's response to his Christmas gesture!
Thanks a lot!
