Two weeks' worth of work...

Clark: Earth to Lois. It's like you've been on another planet for
the last 15 minutes.
Lois: Easy, Armstrong. This space case is buried in research.
I've got like two weeks' worth of work (She has to work 2 weeks?)
to catch up on.
Clark: It was a sort of last-minute vacation, wasn't it?
Lois: Yeah, well, I've got a pretty tightly wound bolt reflex. She runs when
she feels danger?

Clark: Is this about what happened? (They kissed in the last episode.)
