@Lynn: I don't think Superman opened up too easily. I think it was a combination of the stress of the rescue (if we think Superman doesn't get stressed during times of danger, he can't require Lois' help in decompressing), Jake and his child both being two, Kim's perceptiveness, and Clark's compassion for people in trouble. It felt quite natural to me.
Mary, I didn't mention this before, but Kim's pullback when she almost mentioned Superman's family supports my thought that she's very perceptive. I imagine the following mental dialogue for her.
“We’re fine. Go home. Go see your—”
Wait a second, stupid! If Superman wanted everyone to know he had a family everyone would already know! Shut up already!
“Go eat cake.”
Much better. Let him keep his secrets.
Of course, that's only my humble opinion, and everyone is entitled to react to a story as he or she sees fit. Especially when it's a masterpiece like this one.
Kerth nom!
