Thanks for the lovely feedback, FoLCs. I'm glad to read that you all liked seeing Spike and Angel show up, as well as Henderson. Also, thanks for laughing in the right places. laugh

Just a couple of things...

seems like this event begins the countdown clock
True, Amber. From here to the end, things really start moving pretty quickly. Hang on tightly.

This part was A-plot heavy
Sorry, Ann. Although the a-plot supported the b-plot through much of the story, that changes now to get things concluded in a (hopefully) satisfactory manner.

How will Lex react when he realizes she's "betrayed" him?
Mwah ha ha!

I'm just hoping that Lex still takes a dive, otherwise I don't think anyone will be safe.
Quite right. Stay with me to find out...

This seemed awfully casual of Henderson. The secret that Lois was actively working against Lex should have remained a "need to know" secret.
Hmm. Thanks for the comments, Bob. It just seemed like such a 'Henderson' thing to say, so I had him say it. Without giving anything away, I can say that it doesn't negatively affect Lois & Clark.

Stay tuned for the next part.
