MadDogLane & the Pheromone Perfume

From the Script:
So if the person is still themself but without their normal restraint, why did Lois get all Lovey dovey?

Thank about it, suppose when the pheromone had hit her she had went after Clark the way she normally goes after things she wants, we've all seen MadDogLane on a story, no holds bars.

So what if MadDogLane had gone after Clark? Not sappy lovey dovey Lane?

I think because, way deep down, Lois is a closet romantic (reference her watching of that sappy soap opera, Ivory Tower, in the Pilot episode). So even though she presents a tough exterior to the world usually, that doesn't mean she doesn't secretly want something sappy and romantic--and the pheromone just took away the inhibitions which made her put up the tough exterior.

I like the idea. I agree that Lois' tough exterior is mostly a front, but not all. Her dogged tenacity when after a story is all Lois.

I think a story that mixes closet-romantic Lois from PML with a more aggressive Mad Dog Lane would work really well. For instance, when lovey-dovey Lois didn't work, would she try other approaches to catch Clark's attention, say try to seduce him in her 'Angel' costume?

Applying her work tactics to the situation could be really funny (or angsty) and would probably freak Clark out. Would she stake out his place or spy on him?

I think, in a way, the closet romantic WAS mixed with Mad Dog Lane in PML. She usually goes after what she wants with all the tenacity and energy she possesses. In PML, she went after Clark, and didn't give up when he kept pushing her away from him--maybe a more romantic version of Mad Dog Lane?

I've always been amused to the fact that Clark wasn't affected by the pheromone in that episode, but was by the Space Rat spray. Writer's goof.

Haha, well Intoxicated (in the nfic folder only) addresses this. Both Lois and Clark are BOTH affected by the pheromone spray.

And also in the nfic folder Phero-Moan My Lusty - that harem out fit was NOT from a rental company.
