Pam: Hey, whaddya know? I managed to write a plot twist! Seriously, hope that was unexpected in a good way and didn't come too far out of left field.

BrightFeather: Thanks for the comment re the A plot! I love knowing that some people go for this kind of stuff! smile

Not a lot of instalments left, that means that Katherine has to survive as the prime witness against Luthor. (Wasn't she the one who rolled over on Lex in HoL?) But there is no need for Saxon so I'd say he's toast.
Re Katherine -- probably / possibly. And, yes, the was the one who rolled over on Lex. As for Saxon... Why would I want to tell you who is going to die?

Hopefully our duo can manage to get into a little more trouble before this is through. We wouldn't want things to go too easily for them.
Oh, yeah, they'll get into more trouble.

Also, since the point was made for CJ's powers wearing off before everything was settled, that means that has to play a significant role in the big finale.
Why can't people just accept that CJ hasn't got his powers and that's the end of that plot thread? It's done. Dusted. Finito.

Well, maybe not.

Maybe Lois is gunned down after all, making things come full circle. After all, Lois was supposed to be murdered before Wells decided to meddle in the affairs of this alternate world.
Darn! You mean that I need to run off and rewrite my ending into something different?

Seriously, that would be a fantastic ending, but it isn't the one I've come up with.

Maria: well, you did want to know what had happened to her, didn't you? smile

Hazel: thanks, as ever, for thoughtful insights. H'm. Would CJ be discreet at this stage of the relationship? I'm not sure, now that you've got me thinking about it; I wrote this before they crossed that intimacy threshold. I guess that's what happens when you write things out of order.

Thanks for the heads up on the review / revision thing, too.

Arcadia will have to wait... until at least next time.

Tricia and Merry, thanks for your comments, too.

Chris (who is impressed that you guys have had the stamina to stick with this one for so long. smile )
