Okay, it seems like Lois's deja vu is more than passing fancy. It's actual memories. She must have experienced this before to predict what others were going to say or what she shouldn't say. So, why is that? I'm beginning to think that Herb brought Lois back in time and dropped her back before he picked her up to change the past (ala what he did during Tempus Fugitive). But why?
WHERE WAS HERB?! Pops in and out of this story like a fairy godmother and yet he fails to warn the Kents or Clark about the big ol' hunk of green rock in the shed???? 
"No! No, we're not." She hesitated for a second and her visage cleared as the panic left and she turned toward Martha before she concluded, "At least, not yet."
Who is this woman? She didn't act that pandering during his big sickness in "Home is Where the Hurt Is". I doubt Clark would want to be babied, anyway, especially when he's feeling weak and powerless for the first time in his life. S1 Lois's kind of bedside manner is a slap to the chest and the encouraging words of "suck it up, Kent! It's just allergies." You know, 'Tears don't solve anything, Kent. Just stick a bandage on that broken leg, and let's get going.'
I'm really worried about what Herb has done to Lois. Is he trying to jump-start her memories after a botched lobotomy? Because she's acting really goofy.
She was disappointed when Lois shouted after her, "We'll wait."
Memories? It sure looks like that, but I assure you that this is the first time Lois has set foot in Smallville. How could she have memories of a place she was never in before?
No, this is
NOT a future Lois that Herb brought back in time. This is the Lois that belongs here.
There are reasons for everything that Herb does. It may not be immediately apparent what those reasons are, but eventually he explains. Why didn’t he warn Clark and Jonathan about the Kryptonite? Possibly, Clark needed to be exposed in order for events to play out as they needed to.
Why didn’t Clark and Martha pick up on her statement and tease her about it?
Perhaps Clark thought that would be counterproductive. She’s moving in the direction that he desires, deep down. Why rock the boat when it’s going in the right direction?
Rest assured, Revenge is not involved. That’s another story.
The answer to your last question is in the next part.
