I loved the birthstones necklace that Clark gave to Lois! And I liked Lois's gift to Clark, too. Ah, but I wish he would trust her. Lois is no xenophobic, unless you have changed her completely, and I really don't think you have. Looking forward to him working up his nerve to come clean with her!
I liked seeing Lois with a nice Ellen. Lois deserves having a nice mom for once, poor girl.
This story echoes of past stories of yours in certain ways. Ellen got pregnant early with another guy - Claude!!!! - and Ellen tells Lois that she and Clark are too serious when they are still so young. Hmmmmmm. Last time it was Martha who told Clark that he was too serious with Lana even though they were still so young. You're not planning a nasty surprise for us, are you?
