Tremendous story. The emotional tone was incredibly well done.
I disagree with the previous posters about the "LL" - I think you showed (as one poster said) that Lois obsessed about Lex so much that she thought everyone knew that the license plates stood for "Lois Luthor". "The wicked flee when no man pursueth."
But of course Clark knew. He's the only one. And this hook to the story made it great. (Plus the writing.)
