Thank you! It isn't a surprise that I agree with all of that, and I totally agree with the bit about her helping even when she didn't knowing that was what she was doing. I didn't want to get too shippy but I did like how because Lois wasn't investigating him, Clark could be more himself but at the same time, deep inside, he wanted her to see him as more than just a farm boy. I know people, including myself, wondered if it was too soon, but I think it was done well and worked, as you said, for his arc. :)
