It's good that Lois and Clark are talking again. They need someone to reassure them that they're more than what others see and right now they're all the other has for that.
Lois in that position for no reason. To the world she's still a respected award winning journalist. She chose to ignore the accolades and offers that are waiting for her to answer. She still has that to go home to. Possibly even more, because she's been seen with him in hiding now. She has the story of what happened to the family and how the events of the earthquake are going to affect them in the future. She's still the golden girl as far as the rest of the world is concerned. Not only did she destroy Spinelessman's life, she tracked him down and is now in the position to reveal a heck of a lot more.
The clamoring for her next big story must have the powers that be at the DP tearing their hair out over her silence.
Perry White must be hanging on to his job by his fingernails, if he still has it.
Spinelessman is in that position for no reason, too. For his obvious weaknesses.
