Aside from the, ahem, reminder about the blue arrow... (I almost missed this, Shayne. What would have happened then?)
At some point Clark needs to give himself permission to be Clark again and not simply Superman. He needs to eat, sleep, rest and smile, or he won't be able to do other things. I am glad that he finds safety just in being with Lois, but he needs to truly rest for 8+ hours, regardless of what people think of him.
One thing you didn't tell us was whether or not the baby survived in the real-life version of the texting mom.
