As promised, my comments:
She nodded in understanding and said, “That’s why I didn’t remember everything at once. I understand and I guess I thank you. I’m not too happy about you messing with my memory, but, you’ve been doing just that most of my life. He’s in his office, right this way.” She led him into the office where CJ was studying.

Having someone mess with your memories, no matter how noble the reason is a massive invasion of privacy. Lori handles the whole thing with aplomb, but Lois? CJ is a *very* focused young man! It is a pleasure to meet him all grown up.

Lois looked at Herb and said, “Thank you Herb. This is a tremendous gift you have given us. It makes it a lot easier to give him up now that I see the young man he has become.”
After all the stress Lois and Clark went through, this parting is awfully easy....
The remaining parts are wrap-up?
