Egad this was a painful chapter to read. There's something so...invasive in Dr. Friskin that my stomach just about fell when Lois slipped. And to have that woman be the catalyst to Lois and Clark dealing with their issues *shudders*. I dunno. I dunno. I think what I hat about it is the implicit authority that the woman wields. She feels like some sort of higher power trying to push the characters. The more the story progresses, the harder she seems to push. I hope Lois breaks away soon, but I'm not holding my breath.
