AnKS: I'm glad you liked how Clark's slight differences, ~.^
Elisabeth: Yeah, it was sort of similar in the script, but without him trying to get in touch with her before the episode's events. He does still shut her out after Allie dies. I also added the more distinct hold over Sam... though he does drop a hint in the end.
Bob: I'm glad the way Lois is reacting to all of this works, I wasn't quite sure about it when I was originally writing it back in October, ~.^
