I think that we'll know what exactly when wrong in Clark's interview by the next chapter. Lois and Clark can simply ask Kent and Lane. Of course, that's assuming they're going to be cooperative.
Poor Jimmy. I have a feeling that he's going to stick his nose into this mess later on as well. Or maybe Perry gets involved now? I'm wondering how long Jimmy can go without telling anyone. Anyway, I guess at least some questions will be answered in an hour and a half, right?
