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.)
