I was having trouble with how timid she has been throughout the back half story but can finally maybe understand her confusion since this is season 1 and she had never seen Superman incapacitated before. She saw him as Clark be incapacitated by the Kryptonite but did not recognize that. But she had never before seen him powerless as Superman. Her perfect hero wasn't so perfect after all. He lies when he needs to and is vulnerable to this green rock. It probably was quite a bit to take in in such a short period of time.
I still kept waiting for the Real Lois Lane to appear and yell "Shut your mouth and keep it shut until I tell you to open it again!" at all of Clark's interruptions of her trying to get her feelings out there. I guess it kind of happened between Chapter 7 and 8.
