What a great premise! To see Clark and Lois actually communicating in this episode is delightful.
Lex breaking up their partnership by sending Clark to Miami is so sneaky, and well just so Lex! Separating Lois and Clark isn't enough, he has to control Clark's trip to the airport too. I just hope Owen doesn't travel all the way to Miami, or send Clark elsewhere. Clark's self-control here is amazing. Most adults would chafe at being treated like a child, let alone the silent threat by the giant Owen.
