Gosh! Lex has Laura!!!! Oh, no! I'm going to die of worry and curiousity until I know that Laura is safe again with her mommy and daddy. The pictures, as always, were a nice touch. And I loved the picture of Laura! :) You guys did a wonderful job with this story...the Ellen-Lois interactions were wonderful. And I guess we won't be seeing much of Martha and Jonathon this year...but I'm glad they are taking some time for themselves...they never did that before...I think they deserve the rest! Anyway, keep up the good work, and I will be anxiously awaiting the next part!

Oh no!!! We wait months for Season 6, and then you give us a 'To be continued.' This is just torture!
Oh, by the way, Pam and Barbara, great characterisation, continuity is spot on, and I was engrossed from start to finish. Thank you!

I thought this episode was great. I enjoyed how the two parts of the story were weaved together like in the show. I also think the authors/editor did a great job of making it one continuous flowing writing style. I wasn't really a big follower of S5 (still haven't read all of it). However, I am anxious to see what happens in the next episode! Great job to all.

Just wanted to compliment you all (especially Barb, Pam and Laurie) for a job well done with this first episode: glowing waffs, dark moments, and Lois' phone "conversation" with her mother just made me laugh out loud!
Poor Ellen! I look forward to the next installment!

Hi and thanks for this brilliant beginning. It was certainly worth the wait. I loved the interaction between Lois and Clark and their beautiful baby. And the cliffhanger ending! Can't wait to read it, hopefully next week? I just pray for a happy ending.

I have been awaiting the first episode of S6 for a few weeks now. You guys are doing a great job. I have had a few bad experiences with Social Services, or as they are called up here in Ontario Canada - CHILDREN'S AID SOCIETY. I am anxiously awaiting Ep 2.

What a great job! This episode was brilliant. Well done, Pam and Barbara, and others who have been involved in writing, editing, and getting this "distributed"! I am anxiously awaiting the next ep, and it already looks like season 6 is as high-quality as season 5 was! Keep up the good (hard) work!
