I, too, really liked this conclusion. Now we finally know why Mrs. Donovan did everything in her might to ruin things for Clark and Becca.

Your description of that night when Lily died was truly harrowing. You painted a gripping portrait of a young Clark Kent who had not yet learnt to be cold and calculating in his pursuit of doing the maximum amount of good. He should have turned down the woman who asked him to walk her home - but oh, it's so easy to sympathize with him for not doing it. And he should have stayed so much cooler at the horrible accident scene - but who can blame him for failing?

Clark has had to be strong all the time after this horrible tragedy, for Becca's sake, but he really needs someone to hug and comfort him. I hope and think that Clark, Lois and Becca will be a happy family.

That's a great ending, Barbara!
