Jonathan is dead. What a blow this is to Clark and Martha.
What *did* Clark do during the games? Is it related to Lex Luthor? Was it hiding Lois's death? Is Lois really dead? Did freezing her help her make it till the poison died away?
President Snow knows Clark's vulnerabilities - Kryptonite, and people he cares about. And he's had Clark flogged. This probably isn't very smart in the long run. I sense rebellion coming. Except that it's always Lois who has those kind of ideas. He's lost without her.
Clark has several theories about what it was he did in the arena, but he doesn't know which, if any, are true. He blames himself for what happened, both for the flogging and for Jonathan's death, but he doesn't know what he did.
Snow enjoys controlling people and using them for his own purposes, but that can backfire -- and does, badly, in Hunger Games canon. As to what will happen in this story -- keep reading.
