I don't know how far ahead the writers were planning but I think they came across as sloppy attempts to allow them to continue to use the same plots rather than take the opportunity to explore new aspects of Lois and Clark's relationship. (Parts of Soul Mates were like nails on a chalkboard to me for the same reason.) I agree with your Shallowford about the "Soul Mates" ep. It grated on me in a way at times.
CLARK: No. I'm just worried I'm a jinx.
JONATHAN: A jinx?
CLARK: Yeah. Let's face it, ever since she's known me, Lois's been kidnapped, frozen, pushed off buildings, almost stabbed, poisoned, buried alive and who knows what else, and it's all because of me.
