So... who do you think is right? Clark - in thinking the worst is over - or Lois - in thinking the worst is yet to come?

Given that we're only at part 4, my money is on Lois.

Glad they finally made up. The problem with these two is they are two sides of the same coin; they both let their emotions run away with them and act out in response. Different reactions -- shutting down/moping vs anger/defiance -- but the outcome is the same. And they are never going to turn this into a forever relationship if they both can't grow up and learn to deal with things together. Which is another way of saying, good for them, for figuring that out and finally talking to each other instead of playing games.

Clark is being smart to not use his powers, though I wish he had figured out a way to identify the people who had bugged the apartment. I wonder if the police could trace the bugs and nail them; let's hope so! Or maybe Clark will be able to recognize the woman's voice if he runs into her again (if it's another reporter, you'd think they'd cross paths eventually). Needless to say, there are a lot of people in this story who need to get what's coming to them!

Count me among the people who don't mind Dan, though. Like Mayson, he was frustrating because he was a relationship roadblock, but he was funny and good at his job. And all in all, a good person. Of course, that's how I also saw Mayson and we all know how that turned out in this universe but maybe Dan will end up being a good resource for L&C as this storyline plays out.

Um... Outside of their relationship? or Inside it?... I'm going to have to agree with Lois here, outside wise... Inside their relationship, all depends on Clark. I love the 2x4 reference! And, come on, Lois has to know what a rolling pin is. She's watched TV and movies!

Thank you for the make-up. Very nice! My heart can stop racing now.

Come on, Clark, really? You were thinking this?
PARTIALLY? Partially? Good thing Clark caught that when he did. And kissing Lois as a cover... didn't she suggest something, somewhere <<cough, crush>> to Clark about using kissing as a cover the next chance he got? Maybe he's got Faraday leaks too. When danger strikes, the adrenaline rushes, and he can push past his lunkheadedness... like, like... Nah, I won't go there.

No, the worst of the CK=S isn't over yet. You know that someone is going to do something stupid, like kidnap the Kents and tell Clark to kill Lois or something. :rolleyes: Or kill Mayson and CK and LL are going to get blamed.

Oh, Lois. Oh, Clark. How are you going to get out of this?

Haha- good joke. Except that Lois is always right. Clark should have learned this by now. If she says the worst is yet to come, then that means that the worst is yet to come.

Glad they made up- and a HUGE sigh of relief over the Scardino situation. Best line:

/sighs in relief. Thanks for the small reprieve from all the angst. I'm feeling nice and WAFFY and ready for all the drama to come... cause we all know Lois is right... duh!

Also, how many episodes are there?

Glad they are back together! I'm gonna have to take Lois' side on this one too. I'm thinking we have not seen the end of the digging and trouble following him being outed.

Interesting comment. I'd never actually put voice to the different ways they tend to respond to problems, but I'd have to agree with your summary.

I got a good chuckle out of that one.

There are three episodes. As for how many parts there are in episode three... I don't know. I keep fiddling around with where to break parts and that tends to change the number of episodes.

Anyway, thanks for all the comments. Glad you're enjoying it.

Definitely Lois.

I'm glad that she sent Dan packing and that she and Clark have made amends. I always much prefer stories where the conflict is L&C against the world rather than Lois vs. Clark. (One of the things I loved about the first couple of parts of this trilogy was how you managed to have such interesting and lengthy stories with very little A plot and, after the initial part of the first story, with L&C being together and mutually supportive.)

The bluntspeak (to use a neo-Larryism) was and just what they needed to clear the air.

Did they have a camera pointed at the ceiling?

I'm glad you had Lois think of this, since the thought had occurred to me, as well. But somehow, I suspect that even if the bugs had been omitted from the bedroom, she would have found some rationalization to avoid equating the two. I somehow can't see Lois being content to be the target of a bug, no matter how willing she is to do the bugging.

On to read the other part 4 comments, and then I get to enjoy part 5.

Thank you - thank you - for nipping the Lois/Dan scenario in the bud, right away! Whew!

Glad that Clark found the bugs. I wonder... during their romantic episode, did Lois ask him if he knew about the bugs before or after the kiss? Does it matter after the make-up sex?

I agree with Lois - the worst is still to come.

Cooking attempt? Or is Lois trying to heat up his side of the bed?

She's heating chocolate to be applied to her date?

Didn't he move out?

Ooooh, is he going to use his fingernails, like Henderson did in Supercop?

Hmm... now she's got the means to accidentally lock him out the next time he's a doofus!

Great. Spies. Erm... Paparazzi.

Samantha?

That would have been kind of fitting, hmm?



Lois is *sooo* adorable!

Oh, look at that! "Superfight - Did Superman already tire of the Ice Queen?"

Wow. That was blunt.



Helloooo? Somebody home?

Finally!

Oh boy.

No suit...

/imagines Lois to jump up and scream, trying to swat the cockroaches supposedly crawling over her shoulder/

Oh boy.
