Excellent chapter, it puts a lot of things into perspective. I don't think Clark can consider that Lois cheated on/lied to him during the investigation any longer. Once he figures out what she knows, when she knew it about the torture and the Luthor non-death it will become crystal clear that she has and will continue to protect him regardless of its impact on her. In her view his well being comes first which is very telling. Nice to see this version of Lois back.
Again nice long chapter that covers a lot of ground and sets things up for Clark's return from Las Vegas if he doesn't kill Jimmy first and get arrested there...
