This episode is one of those that I love every single solitary second of it. From how Clark is skeptical of Lois' change of heart about playing hooky to his attempts to pull back from her at work (very professional) to how she ultimately makes her way to his apartment in the harem outfit. I find it kind of curious that Luthor doesn't react more to Lois's assertion that only Clark is the one for her. I also found it curious that she even agreed that dinner was still on with Luthor in the first place considering her mindset at the time.
I think that Lex thought the spray had the power to create attraction. He seems to assume that Lois being in love with Clark proves it is very, very powerful. This however leaves unexplained why Lex did not prevent Miranda from spraying him. Maybe he assumed she was not that sneaky, I don't know.
On Lois not cancelling dinner, I would agree it was out of character. It would have made a lot more sense for her to cancel and then reschedule the next day. It would have created one more incident where Lois totally ignores Lex knowing too much about nefarious plots, but so what, they had a huge number of thise.
Come to think of it, does Lois ever confront Lex about how he got sprayed? Does he have a good explanation for that? Also, why does Lois not get a bit suspicious that Lex knows enough to tell Clark to tell Superman that Miranda has kidnapped her? It seems that Lois should have confronted Lex more. He probably would have explained that he did not realize the negative effects of Miranda's work, but Lois often does not seem to live up to her reputation as a top investigative reporter.
