No, you missed nothing with Fred. He just kind of pops up every now and then. Whit probably thinks he doesn't *know* know. Silly Whit.

Lana, on the other hand, is picking it up,and she's not liking Clark interfering in her plans. She's got her future penned in and it includes being Mrs. Fordman, football wife. I'm definitely being negatively influenced by what her character is going through on the show, I find her even more shallow now than I did before. (If all they did was rip each other's clothes off, I'd be fine with it.)

They met back in the beginning of the story, when Lex blew through town instead of taking over the plant--Clark 'saved' his life. :)
