Great to see a new chapter! I like that Lois has detached herself from Lex. And The Star's rationale to keep Lois around makes sense too. They know she's got the inside scoop on Superman.

I loved this:
Quote
“On Monday, Sa…. Well, my friend Sal was in the park. She said you two were having some kind of intense discussion. When it was over Kent looked … not good. No one has seen him since. Did he finally tell you how he feels about you?”
With many shows, this wouldn't work, but it makes perfect sense in the L&C universe.

Hope we get to hear more about the disconnect in Smallville soon. What's going on there?
