Good instalment. Lots of intriguing things going on.

The intro was suitably creepy and chilling. Will be interested in seeing this psycho's motivations for his actions. One question, if this nutcase is enamored with (we assume it's Lucy's) hair and thinking it's so perfect, why is he cutting it off? Perhaps to preserve it? Or is it some sort of trophy? Will be interested to explore this troubled mind some more. Am curious as to which Lucy you are using since you never described her in you earlier parts. Is this the season one Lucy, or the one from Metallo, or (like I tend to do) is she your own creation since you don't think the series provided us with very viable sisters.

Lois certainly has a lot on her plate. Her confusion over Clark and Superman is understandable, but, as she said finding Lucy is the most important thing right now. I'd think she'd be much more worried that Lucy might be dead. All the other complications just make things more interesting. And now someone's shooting at Lois? Good cliffhanger, but with Superman there, we all know that Lois wasn't hurt, but it does provide an added element of tension.

Tank (who wonders about the phone number, but does think that Jimmy would be an exellant candidate for a serial psycho killer... it would be the first time he actually had a personality)
