So, loved the dialogue. And there has been a certain comedic quality to their interactions. But the idea of Lois having to sacrifice herself.
/keeps muttering about not knowing who's to blame, M.L. of H.G./
@DW: Lois doesn't have a wedding ring.
“Rings! I forgot to get rings.”
Lois smiled. “Forget about rings. I wouldn’t be able to wear one now anyway... Not without having a whole lot of unanswerable questions directed my way.”
“But...”
“You just be sure you have that ring waiting for me when I get to the future.” She reached up, pulling his head down for a quick kiss.
ML is truly evil. Even if she tries to hide it by posting early

PS: I should have expected it after the way you set us up with part 5a and 5b. There just had to be a really really really mean twist. And I know you're not putting together your ideas so straight forward that the most obvious solution would actually be what's needed, but just *why* did H.G. not just take Lois forward in time in 1993.
PPS: The others are right. It is inhumane to let us dangle like that. And did I already mention clone arghs?
