Hi Mike,
Thanks for the FDK!
I loved this chapter and I hadn't expected the GGGOH tie in. I loved Clark getting Lois to get down on her knees and ask him nicely to marry him. This is probably the beginning of them getting to be much closer. Lois had not respected Clark before because he never pushed back and she actually likes someone to not just give in every time she dictates (or bellows)...
This will be interesting.
Mike
As we have seen, there are some similarities with canon. As you pointed out this section has been a lot like StP, but in canon it came much later. No we are moving into something like GGGoH, but don't expect
it to go the same way as canon either.
In canon they were sent because Clark had a call from his father about the 'Feds' on Wayne's farm. In this case L&C are going because it is Martha and Jonathan's anniversary.
We'll just have to along and see how things turn out.
