Although I was sad to see Aunt Louise die, perhaps now Lois and Clark can take a breather and reconnect. Of course now that the one adult who really looked after their relationship is gone, it is possible that things will get even worse for them.

And it's too bad that Lois hasn't really opened up to Clark about some of her family dynamics yet. Perhaps if she did, Clark would understand some of her needs and be able to provide better emotional support.
