Myrtle thought Clark was immortal and would therefore suffer more/longer. It's been a while since I saw the episode (hurry up, S.4 disks!), but I don't remember this aspect at all. Why did she think this?
oops
Mixed up 2 female villains there. You're right, Kathy! No idea why Myrtle thought what she did - only that she qualifies in the top 5 of tacky L & C villains. (which of course invalidates all her opinions
)
btw, I think we do get a clue about the depth of Clark's feelings inTGoM when he's talking with Martha and Jonathan about having to give up Clark. His feelings range over a lot of things but he doesn't show much more grief over the loss of his relationship with Lois than with Jimmy. I was really disappointed in that. And what about his nodding off when Lois begins to admit her feelings to him at the end?
