I enjoyed the Mayson brush-off, but felt that Clark acted a little bit out of character with his final response to her. Mayson didn't seem particularly catty about her questions (although admittedly too intrusive), and Clark's response and him walking away from her seemed overly harsh.
I disagree. Look at the context. Clark is wearing a wedding ring and Mayson
kept trying to move slightly closer than he was comfortable with.
That alone deserved being abandoned on the dance floor. Mayson's questions were not simply too intrusive, they clearly had an agenda.
Sorry but a woman with an agenda is dangerous. Just as in canon Mayson saw something she wanted and went after it.
It would have been safer if Clark had been less open. He needs to learn to answer those type of questions with questions. As it stands Mayson asked a series of leading questions all very clearly focused on getting Clark to say "ignore my ring".
