I have to agree, I think Lois outright rejecting Clark is the worst part.
Although, it never made sense that Clark did not just call 911 the second Lex showed up. That is what he should do. This attempt to work with Lex made no sense at all.
Also, why does he not actually listen to Jimmy and the talk of the story, and introduce himself as Kent?
The letting Lois go with Lex made no sense. Lex is a wanted criminal. It does not matter is Lois wants to go with him. There is no way that Clark should do anything else but detain him. By letting Lex go he is breaking the law. Lex was serving multiple life sentences for his crime, there is no way Clark should have let him go.
