This idea was brought up on my FDK thread for Wrong Clark, but why exactly is Lois so desperate to show up at Lex's Orchid Ball with a date? If it was so important for her to have a date, why did she then ditch him shortly thereafter to stalk Lex Luthor? Jimmy, Perry, and Cat all seemed to be there without dates (although, I'm sure Cat was planning on leaving with one). If it's a business function (or for a story), why does she need a date? Any theories?
