No, I definitely did not see that coming! What a powerful and extremely well-written chapter. Lana has proven to be a dear friend of a very high and rare value. She has known Clark all of her life and is aware he is a good, kind man. The very fact that she (and possibly her mother) have kept this secret is proof positive of that fact. In the world of Lois and Clark, Lana is one character I have never really liked, even in this universe she has been a little hard to take. Now, I understand and appreciate her completely. Bravo!
