Sorry about the punny title. What did you think?

In the back of her mind there was something she felt she wasn't remembering. There was something about water heaters. It was there for a moment, and then it was gone. Lois couldn't imagine what it could have been.
Yep, something about water heaters...

Yeah...I think that water heater thing might be an important detail. 
Still waiting for Lois to find out that there's something unusual about Clark. 
Go Lois...glad she's not just a damsel in distress but a take-charge kind of gal who can hold her own against anyone.

You know, I had two ideas on where the title of this part would go and you went to neither of them. 
Thanks for keeping me on my toes.
I was worried about Arthur. I'm glad that the thug didn't do anything to him. Or to Lois, of course.
When the manager (front desk clerk?) led Clark out of the dining room, in my mind I kept screaming, NO, don't separate! I wasn't sure if the manager was leading him to the fire (had no idea why he would do that) or what was going on.
Yea!
Tough Lois saves her own bacon! 
hee-hee.
Hmmmmm. Bullet hole in closet of the boiler. That doesn't sound all that safe, now does it? Nope. I'm going to go with bad... really, really bad. Or fishy. As in Red Herring. One of the two. But then, again, I'm a bit paranoid since believing that Lois will soon end up in 1960s musical theatre.

Lane and Kent are already working together.
I wanted to go back and check earlier chapters about the water heater reference. Is there a TOC? Not just for reference, but because the story’s definitely worth re-reading!
Since Lois was already in the pictures that she saw in her present, and Arthur already remembered her, that means she was already part of the events that happened back in 1912 before she went back. So it’s possible her and the thug being there is what causes the fire in the first place. There’s already a causality loop going, but not necessarily one either Clark or Lois will get stuck in. Maybe more like a loop-the-loop on a roller coaster.

There was a chance that what she’d done had scarred the thug for life, possibly even blinded him. Despite the fact that he’d been willing to kill her, that was bad enough. She couldn’t bear the thought that someone innocent might have gotten shot and killed because she’d had an only half thought out plan.
Lois did well, stopping that creep before he hurt someone. Look, by his following orders to kill her he's already lost forty years of his life. You might think in all that time he would have wised up and realized his actions were what got him there in the first place.
Anyway, excellent part! Now the next question is uppermost in everyone's mind: what happens next?

I was impressed with the desk clerk, though he obviously hadn't approved of Lois and Clark being seen together (without a chaperone) he still warned Clark about the thug. By the way, the thug should have known better, his experience with Lois had been pretty bad.
