*jumping in* Hey Becky! *waves* I got to see ep and it's great to hear your thoughts on it too.
Then after Lana leaves, Lex is thinking, 'this could totally work for me, Clark is *way* closer to Chloe than he used to be and *way* further away from Lana. There *has* to be a reason for this. And its then that his motives come in to play, which is why he is a little creepy at the hospital. Yes--that's a really interesting point. As you and norwich36 point out, he's got very self-interested motives now as well as the surface level 'concerned friend' one. That was something I didn't get a chance to include in my review but I think it's really interesting.
this means the Rift will be about something that isn't Lana, that its about *Lex* and *Clark* and their rapidly diverging paths and goals Yes. For me the Rift is about their growth. Lana plays a part in their growth, for both of them, and she often functions as a symbol or reflection of where they are on that road, but Lana's certainly not the only instigating factor. I found Clark's development in this episode very interesting. He's maturing on his own now. He's devloping more subtle ways of acting (like in the hospital where he doesn't react with anger to Lex) and that's leading him off into his future. I do see them on diverging paths now. It's interesting, huh?!
