“Why should she believe you?” Martha said truthfully, nudging the untouched plate of pie closer to Jerome. She knew he was hungry. Why wasn’t he eating?
And I wonder if he's going to come clean on his "allergy" to sugar or if Martha's going to convince him to eat the pie just as Lois catches him doing it. Can you say nuclear reaction?
Well Lois did get him to drink a soda pop earlier, so he has actually consumed sugar. Wouldn't Lois be glad to see him eating pie?
Back in Part 52 we had these two lines:
Lois returned with a lemon-lime soda for Clark, and he took a sip.
The drink helped settled his churning stomach. He smiled at her. “Thanks.”
