Really awesome alternative take on that episode. I liked Lois' inner thoughts and her reevaluation of Lex. I laughed at the coffee bit and immediately thought "It might not improve Lex's mood but it would improve Lois' " rotflol

Also liked her interaction with Clark. And I do wonder if Lois had experienced those reservations in canon if she would have investigated Lex before it was too late.

Anyway, enjoyed this a lot. ^_^
