Hey, y'all! Time to respond to the great questions and comments here.
AmyPrime, I'm afraid Sue Riordan's part in this tale is done. As for how she was compromised, I'd suspect that one of Asabi's underlings waved a bunch of dollars under her nose in return for letting a worried husband know where his straying wife was. That way Sue could rationalize her decision and stave off some of the guilt. As for leaving her weapon beside the road, that would work if 1) Sue got to it first and 2) there wasn't a use for it later in the story (subtle hint, wink-wink nudge-nudge). Also, Clark's non-reaction to Lois taking the weapon shows how much he trusts her now.
Marcus, it might pin down their location, but Clark has some steps in mind to mitigate that danger. This also removes at least half a dozen bad actors from Asabi's stable of operatives. Clark must have thought that would be a good trade-off.
Morgana, remember that Lois' deal with the prosecution isn't written in stone - or paper - just yet. But it's likely that she'd be charged with something serious, since she knew about Lex' crimes for almost five years and didn't tell the police about them. Yes, she was abused and intimidated, but unfortunately there isn't a single legal standard which applies across jurisdictions to allow her to walk away free and clear. We'll learn more about her fate soon.
Next chapter up in moments! Hope y'all enjoy it.
