This is driving me crazy. I read it semi-recently, too. It takes place at the end of Season 1 ... Lois realizes Lex is bad ... there is a scene where Superman goes to LNN for an interview and it's a trap, and Lois says she will marry Lex to save Superman ...

Clark: "You don't even know the meaning of the word 'humility,' do you?"

Lois: "Never had a need to find out its meaning."
