Playing Pretend
It doesn't sound like it's part of the Cheater Series.
CLARK: Considering Lois’s dad, maybe linking the start of our relationship to me supposedly cheating isn't the best way to reassure Lois? She's already fidgety enough as it is.

Quote
This was a scrap of an idea I've had sitting around for more than a year, even before I came back to fandom, I think!
So…no cheating then?

Quote
Clark witnesses a sweet moment between Lois and their daughter.
Awww…Lois is teaching her daughter to pretend that she has a key to her boyfriend’s apartment and is welcome to figure out how many other women he's pretending to just be friends with.

Quote
Lois to be in bed, and he found her easily—her heartbeat and that of their 5-year-old daughter—in Hannah’s room, playing.
Okay, so Hannah is a bit young to learn how to pick locks. Question is, if Lois teaches her daughter a fluid sense of privacy and truth at age 5, will this mean Clark won't be able to detect a change in heartbeat when Hannah becomes a teenager and is informing him that she’s visiting a friend's place for a sleepover with the friend’s parents most certainly not away on a ski trip?

using Hannah's teddy bear to attack and kidnap the innocent stuffed unicorn princess.
Oh no, Clarkie Bear is kidnapping Wanda the Princess.

She hated the simplistic nature of pretend play, especially with a 5-year-old who, as such, didn't have the requisite empathy and social skills necessary to know that her mother wanted to immediately kill off all the characters and end the game then and there.

I am surprised though, because isn’t Lois fond of playing “Reporter rescues Superman” when they're alone at home?
LOIS: That’s not playing pretend. That’s me, recapping the day.

Quote
Hannah, her deep purple cape at her back and her dark blue mask covering her eyes, affected her best authoritative voice. "Oh, no you don't! FastGirl is here to save the day."
Oh boy. Let's hope that costume isn't shared as a fun story during Junior Justice League meetings in about ten years.

Quote
Then, FastGirl grabbed Bad Guy Teddy Bear and held him out in front of herself. Given the violent near-death she’d directed, Clark was a little anxious at what came next.
Ho boy. On the plus side, Clark will be more concerned with keeping creepy boyfriends safe than his daughter.
CLARK: I think I just heard a cry for help. Hannah, Honey, I think Mommy is still out working. I'll go help her. Just don't hurt him too permanently, okay?

Quote
Hannah hugged the bear close, looking at him with so much tenderness. “You don’ hafta be a bad guy anymore. I will help you!”
Oh boy.

Quote
. “I guess we’re doing something right,” she whispered.
Yes. We also now know how Andrus &Co managed to let Tempus get away.

Quote
“You not try to steal Princess Mommy!”
rotflol That’s something that will come back to haunt teenage Hannah when Clark catches her with her boyfriend on the front porch saying good night.

Adorable!
