It's intriguing. In the Silver Age comics, Lori Lemaris was a mermaid who knew about Clark's powers and at one time had hoped to pursue a romantic relationship with him. Given the short prologue with the deep-sea submersible with both cameras and sonar, she's still a mermaid and she might be worried that her secret is about to come out.

I'm eager to learn her real purpose in meeting Clark. It doesn't appear that she's looking to have a relationship with him, but if she is a mermaid this can't be a pure social call. Something tricky is going on, isn't it? Is she going to ask for Clark's help with the pesky scientist with the underwater obsession? Maybe she'll reveal herself to Lois, either intentionally or unintentionally. It should be fun.

Lois: Honey, why didn't you tell me you dated a mermaid?

Clark: You didn't believe me when I said I'd learned ballroom dancing from a Nigerian princess, so yeah, I kinda held that one back too.

I'm going to follow this one. What's your posting schedule? I hope it's frequent.
