Still finding this an engrossing story, Rac - truly "adult" in the profound issues both Lois and Clark are dealing with.
Loved Clark's dream of Lois and then it occurred to me that he's idealised her in this dream - not let his subconscious imagine the challenges she's been facing. Instead he's retreated to a comfort zone where he's with his dream-girl. That's both touching and yet so sad.
btw, any chance of a bit of mind-contact between Lois and Clark?
