The discussion of RFSH reminded me of something. Sometimes Season 1 Lois gets credit as the toughest. However it is actually in season 2 where we see her save Superman by digging a kryptonite bullet out of his shoulder, and with the Prankster and goon subdue them before Superman arrives.
Your Lois is doing much better at being a tough as nails reporter than Canon Season 1 Lois. She even figured she could escape from Bain's chains.
