I like the Tank solution but it seems kind of drastic.

Glad to see that Chad realizes that Lois is miserable. It's hard because that means he's not a total jerk. If he was such a bad person, Lois could dump him with no qualms. But he's an OK guy.

Of course, maybe in this case, the good is the enemy of the best. Lois needs to stop settling for less.

But it's going to be messy.
