“I used to love sweets,” Clark explained. “Until my folks died.” He went on to recount the circumstances of their death, and how the smell on the smoking sugar in the back of the burning truck had haunted him ever since.
“I’m sorry, Clark. That is a horrible tragedy,” Carlos said. “I didn’t know you were also an orphan.”
Clark has another friend.
Hmm, I think maybe it was already four people who knew the truth. I forgot to count Carlos along with Clark, Martha and Jonathan.
“But wouldn’t a marriage in a church, therefore consecrated by God, wipe away this curse?” Carlos asked with furrowed brow.
Apparently not, since that is presumably what Charles and Loisette had the before the curse first kised in. However, maybe Carlos is onto something. There might be a way to call directly on the power of God to overcome the curse. There might be a way to reverse the curse after it has been made, instead of stopping its initial creation.
“Is not the power of God stronger than the power of this old warlock?”
Clark shook his head. “I would hope so, but according to Herb, it wasn’t enough when my friends in the other dimension were married.”
However they did not try to directly counteract the curse with another power. The more I think about this, the more I hope someone gets the idea of trying to destroy the curse with a new power. Someone should have the power to destroy the curse.
“And what does Lois think of this curse? Does it scare her as much as it does you?” Carlos asked.
I wish Carlos would reccomend to Clark to tell her. She really ought to know, even if she is unlikely to believe.
“But you are married, no?” Carlos asked in English.
Clark:I am not that stupid. I would never think I could keep such things secret from my wife.
“Não?” Carlos’s brow furrowed. “Engaged to married then?”
Arguably it should be "engaged to be married" but maybe this is just showing Carlos's not-top-notch English skills.
Carlos switched back to Portuguese. “Still no? It is a bit early to be worrying about consummating your marriage to Lois then, isn’t it?”
Clark glanced over at him sheepishly.
At least he did not try to blame Lois.
“Unfortunately, yes. And, as such, you have many people who look to you for their example. If it were known that you did not believe in abstinence…” Carlos said, his face paling. He made the symbol of the cross. “Trust me; it would make my job more difficult.”
Carlos has very good points. This also goes to show why Superman and Lois should never let on the hint of scandal as they did in SLV.
Canon Clark:But we were married.
Canon Lois:
this seems to just keep getting put off.
He could picture Cat roll her eyes with her groaning sigh.
I wonder if it should be "rolling her eyes" considering it is "groaning".
Henderson thought it looked like the robber was searching for something, and asked Clark if he were hiding anything.
Apparently St. John did not do very well at making it look like a random break-in.
recognizing Lois’s heartbeat through the line before she spoke, causing him to smile.
Lois is here. I was afraid we would go the whole section without Lois.
“Hi,” Lois murmured in a sultry tone.
So why exactly arn't they together right now?
“The honeymoon suite at the Lexor Hotel,” Lois clarified. “They wanted to apologize for our interrupted honeymoon.”
“Hey, I was the one who was bombed,” Clark teasingly grumbled.
Actually this really does not make sense at all. Well, maybe it does at some level, since this is a Luthor property, but why did Lois agree to such a patently unfair arrangement. Unless it was also offered to Clark, but she could not contact him?
He gulped at her lack of subtlety. “I wish I could be there,” he admitted truthfully.
“So…”
Wait, is she trying to invite him to come over?
Lex snapped off the microphone he had them install in the honeymoon suite before sending Lois that invitation for one more night.
Why didn't Clark think to check the room for bugs? It is probably a good think he did not tell Lois the truth, or rush over there to tuck her in.
“Tomorrow, Nigel. Make it painful and look like an accident,” Lex said, turning off the switch.
Hopefully they have no clue that CK=SM. Although it might make it hard to explain how Clark survives.
