Perry knows that he doesn't need to retire, but he can't say that to Alice. Clark knows that Mayson is behind Perry's retirement, but he can't say that to Perry, because Perry can't say that to Alice. And because Alice won't tolerate that Perry defies her, Clark is forced to leave Lois so that Alice won't leave Perry. frown

It's almost as if this is the story of Clark and Lois versus the Three Witches, where Mayson is of course the Main Witch who draws other women into her sphere of witchiness and make them back her up.

Looking forward to much more Lois and Clark interaction and some thrilling Hawthorn developments!
