I actually am cautiously optimistic that she's going to be in the finale, too. TW worked his ass off to convince MR to come back for the finale. I can't imagine that he couldn't convince AM to be there, as well. Apart from the fact that her character has been defined by the producers as the "lynchpin" of what makes Clark Superman, I also think that, as AM is one of the few remaining original cast members, the producers would want her to be part of the last episode.

I'm keeping fingers crossed, but if it is her last episode, at least we will now have an ONSLAUGHT of glorious, glorious fanfics of her happily ever after to keep us going for a loooong time! :-)

Don't worry, petal- there are still squeeees to be had! *pats you comfortingly*
