Okay, that went pretty much as expected. Lots of emotional hand wringing and angst only to be rescued at the last minute by their overriding love and concern for each other.
And, of course, the tender and waffy ending.
I have to admit that a little evil part of me (I think some of Kaethel has rubbed off on me) considered that it would be pretty funny if Lois pulled a Clark and denied her feelings of love and just admitted to being best friends in order to save what she could of their relationship when the opportunity presented itself. It would have been somewhat, ironic?

)
