Does LL think CK loves her because he saved her life?

[galatians221]

I'm really pondering that post traumatic scene in the office when Lois brought Clark coffee and pastry and ignoring the fact that she saved his life by dropping through a skylight and dispatching two armed thugs. Instead she stared intently at Clark in a weird way it seemed as if "he really does love me" was going on in her mind. I wonder if she will confess to the Blur on the phone that she's in love with Clark. Something big happened tonight and that scene in the office was intense and interesting.

[Kevin24]

Well she knows now that Clark definitely cares about her alot since he risked his life to save her. Although, I thought she was pampering him because he risks his life for hers and she felt guilty about that.

[aceofclubs]

It definitely was an intense scene, they always leave it to be interpreted many ways. But the way the last scene went I think she will end up telling Clark she has a thing for RBB and lots of hilarity will ensue with him being jealous of himself all of season 9 lol

[Imzadia]

I mostly agree with what all of you have said, so far. IMO, I don't believe that Lois thinks that Clark 'loves' her because he saved her life, but I think that she now Knows how much he truly 'cares' about her. Yes, she's feeling somewhat guilty about him with the whole 'Stiletto' situation because he'd warned her that it might get her into trouble. She feels some responsibility for things going awry, but at least, she's seeing Clark with a different attitude again. She knows the kind of man Clark really is, but she's been keeping him at arm's length to protect her heart from the hurt she felt after he left her on the dance floor for Lana; and she had begun to admire him before the Lana fiasco. So, what happened in this episode will help her find her way back to where she was with her feelings for Clark... eventually.

[IHeartClois]

I think after this Lois will probably give Clark and herself another chance, she definately knows he likes her (kinda) at this point, but she thinks he "doesnt save lives for a living" and what he did was unusual...she doesnt know that Clark is Superman and does that kind of thing daily...so she might take it too seriously...but I hope she does...go Clois! :-D

[RaniaLovesClois]

No, I don't think so that Lois thinks that Clark loves her... She just knows how much he cares about her...

[Ray Man]

I'm glad that Lois is on speaking terms w/Clark again, and I hope that we see him being jealous of Kal-El/RBB in Season 9!

[KaraClarkfan]

i doubt she thinks that way. i believe that she thinks he's just being clark in my opinon

[roccanater]

No.

I agree. The writers seem to be setting this up real well. I don't compliment them often but this was a good job.

[Ella]

Exactly. We didn't see any signs of Lois analyzing the situation.

[Tebow15]

Love to see him jealous of himself. LMAO

[SparkleforSmallville]

I think Lois was touched that he saved her, and annoyed because she now owes him.
That's why it was cool that Clark said Lois saved him and Jimmy.

[LuckyLois]

I love that Lois turns it around when he thanks her for saving him, and she tells him he was the hero not her. She knows Clark would do that for just about anyone in danger because "he always sees the good in people". She knows he cares, but she doesn't know how much yet!

[drvr8]

I think Lois honestly emotional over Clark taking the bullet and as she said, had Manheim had better aim, Clark would have been dead. The realization that Clark could have died and all the unresolved issues the two of them have together is a scary thought for Lois. I honestly don't think her actions were out of guilt, she wouldn't have stolen the pastry back from him if she was guilty. It was a gesture to remind Clark how much she cares for him without saying the words that go along with it.

My only complaint about the bullet shot was the sound FX for the bullet ripping into flesh sounded way too much like a paint ball gun and the splatter noise made a "SPLAT" sound.

[alma]

I agree with the others. I don't think she thinks Clark's in love with her. She now has no doubt that he cares alot about her.

[SupermanRox]

Agreed. Lois doesn't like to owe anyone. Least of all Clark.

[galatians221]

No, I don't think so that Lois thinks that Clark loves her... She just knows how much he cares about her...

Which in turn shows her how much she cares for him.

I wouldn't be surprised because in Lois' mind, Clark is not a hero and doesn't do those deeds regularly, which I find odd because she did mention his miraculous saves in the past & she has seen Clark show up many times to help those in need.

But since the writers are making her forget & think of Clark as a regular guy as seen in Stiletto, I wouldn't be surprised if taking the bullet will keep Clark a contender in her mind since I don't think they will be having moments like they did in Bride & the barn scene in Infamous anymore. My guess is that we will see Clark doing little things like this throughout the next season.

[ClubXerxes]

Lois is now in love with two men - Clark and RBB (well, one really, but she doesn't know that). Clark will continue to be elusive to Lois (but she won't know why), and she will find herself moving closer to the blur. Clark will however grow closer to Lois - he's falling in love slowly but surely.

It's actually evolving quite nicely, IMO...whereas CLana was all angst and secrecy, Clois is much easier and more natural. Clark rarely smiled around Lana, but it is so much more noticeable around Lois.

Yeah. I said it in another post, Lois moving closer to the Blur will be what makes Clark fall for her, because the Blur is the side of him that allows him to be himself even though he's currently disguising his voice. When he sees how much Lois accepts that side of him, he will see that he will finally be able to have a female who accepts him for who he is without him having to lie or anything.

It will be the opposite for Lois. The things that Clark will be doing for her (like taking the bullet in Stiletto) while keeping her a high priority in his life will make Lois fall for him. So Clark through the RBB will fall for Lois & Lois will fall for Clark (not the RBB) based on the way they're setting it up. Eventually, Clark will tell her the secret and the pretenses will end.

I am not a fan of Lois and Clark but the marriage proposal scene where Lois states "who's asking....Clark Kent or Superman" was the highlight of the entire series. There are so many cool ways to play it. Lois knows but CK doesn't know that she knows or Lois rejects Superman for Clark and ends up with them both or any number of possibilities. I'm excited that at least we've moved off of Clana and Chlark and now it looks like Clois all the way. Hooray!

[xrayvision]

Hmm, never watched that show. I hope they don't do a proposal on the show. I wouldn't doubt that Smallville would do things differently than the comics with Clark telling Lois way before he proposes, but I don't know.

I don't want to see Superman and Lois married. You can't have Lois nagging on him to fold the towels or to quit leaving his cape laying on the floor. It just doesn't fly.

With what the writers did to Jimmy and Chloe we just might see something like that. I hope not. It could end up with "irreconcilable differences". He wants to fly and she doesn't.

That pretty much happened in Superman Returns, though they weren't married. That was one of the several problems I had with it.

While I loved that movie; primarily for the flying scenes the fact that Superman was presented as an adulterer and dead beat dad was not admirable. I understand that he didn't know about the kid but that imho is what cost Bryan Singer the sequal and caused them to abort the movie and reboot. What would they have done with that kid in the sequal. Trying to make Superman super normal doesn't work.

[smallvillerocks45]

I think Lois is confused now, more than ever. She knows she at least had feelings for Clark and maybe even loved him, but after "Bride," she had an opportunity to think, readjust, and in "Infamous" gave Clark an opportunity to talk about it. When he didn't, she set her sights on the "Red-Blue Blur," whom she seems to be completely smitten with, thanks to her chat in the phone booth with him, but - because Clark did take a bullet for her, she feels somewhat endeared to him too.

Lois is lonely. She talks about it two or three times in Stiletto. She has been rejected by Clark and yet is drawing even closer to him. It's a good thing. I'm looking forward to S9 as long as they have Lois on all 22 episodes.

I don't really see how that works out, in your interpretation, on the Lois side of things.

Clark will be doing all of this on the pretence of being a friend. That's just going to let Lois marginalise Clark into the guy who "doesn't save lives for a living". Lois has no motivation to fall for Clark and eventually he will be forced to unveil both sides of himself, which will completely pull the rug from Lois considering that she has no idea there is a lot more to him she's not had access to.

But all this is kind of pie-in-the-sky if we're led to believe that Clark and Lois will have a moment under the stress of the Doomsday episode.

If the focus in season 9 is shifted to the JLA, I can guarantee Lois won't be in all 22 episodes. That is just one of many problems I have with the high possibility of that happening. Another big one is the complete failure of developing Clark's journalism career, which needs to happen away from Lois and the JLA. Otherwise he will never get an opportunity to write his own bylines due to the JLA hogging all the screentime or Lois getting them first while Clark is playing hero.

Well, we know Lois is afraid of falling for any more heroes based on what she said in Siren. She took that back in Infamous, but that scene where she took that back in is no longer part of the official timeline.

Unless they give Clark a Red-Blue Blur costume, something that I doubt will happen since it should have by now & didn't, I don't see Lois & the RBB ever meeting face to face. And that lack of face to face contact will prevent her from ever falling for him.

I think it was Jack-El who said that Lois will view the RBB as the world's hero, but Clark as her personal hero. If the RBB just saves her and she never sees him, then he would fall into the same problem area for Lois as the Green Arrow. Since Clark is always around Lois and is doing things like taking a bullet for her, busting in to free her from the crazed jeweler, and other heroic things that Lois knows he did but isn't admitting to, then I could think Lois will be more attached to Clark than the RBB due to the reason revealed in the Siren conversation.

Good points but somehow the two have to come together. She will love Clark for who he is and be attracted to the Blur for what he does. In Stiletto it crossed her up because she now can admire Clark for what he did. Confusion in Loisville.

[jpfort1957]

She should realize that taking a bullet is reserved for those you love.

[Ray Man]

I hope they stick to Lois being in love with "The Blur" than having her fall for Clark instead.

[galatians221]

She should realize that taking a bullet is reserved for those you love.

True, but Lois also risked taking a bullet for CK when she crash landed from the skylight. They saved each other. Somebody saved him. They should write a song about that.

[Ray Man]

Some dudes DID write a song about that man, I think they called themselves Remmy Zero lol. They song was called "Somebody Save Me!!!!!"

[xrayvision]

She should realize that taking a bullet is reserved for those you love.

I think the main reason she realizes this is because she doesn't know Clark is the RBB. She knows that the RBB would probably do that for anyone, regardless of who they are since he is a superhero. But since Lois doesn't know that Clark is the RBB or any type of hero, she probably thinks he did it because he does have feelings for her. And if that smile he gave her wasn't a sign that he's definitely into Lois, then nothing is.

Yes. The 2 will come together. I don't know how they will do this---if Lois will love both & have to make a choice, or if she will love Clark and consider him her own personal hero yet continue to be the RBB's friend & outlet. If she never sees the RBB one-on-one, then I don't think she could ever love the RBB side of Clark.

I also wonder who will come up with the Superman name. I know Clark will probably design the suit and have Martha make it for him. We know that Lois said that she will put her best men on it and referred to Clark as the only one besides her. Maybe Clark knowing about the S on the "S shield" from the modified House of El crest and having remembered Lana asking him whether he's man or superman will suggest to Lois, "What about Superman?". That would be a great scene because it would bring us back to the Pilot and would clearly show that Clark's choice in life is Superman. I think Lois will love that name and the scene where such a moment takes place could even be the scene where he reveals his secret to her.

[Mr.Magic]

But since Lois doesn't know that Clark is the RBB or any type of hero,

So, all the times he played hero for/with her in seasons 4 & 5 (I repressed the others) were just flukes?

[xrayvision]

That's my same question Mr. Magic. It's weird how Lois didn't mention it. I think that could be something she didn't mention because she is keeping her guard up after what happened in Bride & the last scene in Infamous. But she has to know that he was there for her more than just taking the bullet. He saved her from drowning in Recruit and so many other times, some of which she was aware of & others that she wasn't. I'd say it was the same thing that made her say "anyone but Clark" in the barn scene in Infamous. A subconcious part of her is in denial because of her feelings towards Clark and doesn't want to associate him with a hero that he is since heroes have hurt her in the past whereas Clark hasn't & has always been there.

Let me say it in another way. Lois knows that Clark doesn't do this stuff routinely, but she was probably reminded of the various times he has been there for her. She's not aware of him saving other people's lives like she knows the RBB does. So in Lois' POV, Clark has saved her & only her a bunch of times and even took a bullet for her this time. I think to Lois, this means that Clark feels much stronger for her than he's letting on. And I think Lois is sitting back and waiting to see what happens. She could have easily gone out on another date since it was Saturday night when she spoke to the RBB on the phone but she didn't. She obviously wanted to speak to the RBB, but at the same time knew that the RBB wouldn't reveal himself to her. Given that she knew the RBB was not going to reveal himself, Lois wouldn't prevent herself from enjoying life if she thought that Clark wasn't worth it.

I started a thread about this months ago. I think Lois knows or at least suspects Clark. We remember in Identity when she was facing death she called Clark. Clark. Why? She also knows that she was mysteriously saved in just seconds. I suspect that she knows or at least has strong suspicions. I'd prefer that they not play Lois as a gullible female. I'd like for her to find out on her own and keep it to herself just like Chloe did. She would wait for Clark to tell her in his timing and when he does she is ready.
