My guess is there are is at least another twist to the plot before it ends. (6 more parts to go)
Lois is showing how much she loves Clark, but I'm not at all sure she realizes it or will accept it. This could be an interesting flip of what happened in cannon if Lois decides to break up with Clark "for his own good."
I do think they'll eventually end up together, otherwise Wells would be more involved, and possibly asking for cannon Lois and Clark's help. Of course, I've also been accused of being a hopeless romantic.
