Once again this episode it seems like most of the attention focus' on Ollie. So why the picture at the right? Well . . we'll get to that later. Last episode Chloe helped Ollie overcome his downward spiral. She really put him through hell. But, in the end, he realized how much he still savored life, and renewed his appreciation for his friends, his 'gift' and his heroic ideals. So he decides to use that lust for life to help another. His intended target? A street girl named Mia. He sees her in a 'fight-club'. She's a good fighter, but . . she's under the thumb of a major street-urchin. In the comic book, this would be Speedy. Most of the episode is spent on them building their relationship and trust. However, while this is going on, Clark is trying to figure out how to balance his new-found feelings for Lois, with his sense of responsibility for Metropolis and the world. The good news is, with Ollie's revival last episode . . he's no longer in the fight alone. During all of this, Tess introduces her plans for a new solar-powered skyscraper in Metropolis. Luthorcorp is in league with RAO on this project. Basically, it's a self-sustaining building that would generate enough power from the sun to power all of Metropolis. What she doesn't know, until the unveiling, is that Zod is the man behind RAO. She also doesn't know that Rao is a Kryptonian god. Which is probably how Zod chose the name. I'm guessing that the link to the solar power is also a bid for Zod and his people to obtain their powers . . 'The powers that we were promised, but have as yet eluded us.' Anyways, Lois drags Clark into this interview for a morning talk-show, and they have to set up faux-dates for their interview story. Lois' ends up being with Ollie. When Clark sees them together, plus when he has to save them from Mia's gun wielding pimp . . he gets jealous. Kind of. They're both his friends, and he wants them to be happy. So he doesn't want his feelings to get in the way. What he doesn't know is that Lois has pledged her undying . . . friendship to Ollie. She's feeling those same feelings for Clark, as is he, and I think she also wants to explore it. Anyways, the episode ends with Clark talking to her in the bullpen, and . . he finally kisses her. The spark has been lit. The good thing about this show . . there's enough characters here that this isn't going to turn in to Lois & Clark. I liked that show. At the time. But that's not what I expect here. There's enough stuff coming down the pike this season that I think their relationship will be building slowly. At least I hope so. And please . . no big 'reveals' this season. Anymore, it seems like everybody knows Clark's secret. Anyways, great show. I watch it every week. Obviously! I can't believe we're almost half way through the season already. Where does the time go?
