Wow, I didn't realize this was such a disliked episode. I'm glad you all liked the story anyway.
And I'm glad I could possibly make the episode more enjoyable for you now.
I was really hoping the end would be enough to tie all the scenes together and show us that despite all the troubles they encountered, Lois and Clark really did have a happy ending.
And thanks for the encouragement on nailing Clark--if I ever get it wrong, please tell me. I don't want to ruin these two; they are my favorite characters, after all.
Thanks to everyone who read and commented.
