Phil, in question 3 you had an option about Clark's and Lois' bond. Maybe have him contact her through that link, but accidentally. When it first happened in HIWTHI, I don't think either realized at the time what they'd done. And of course, it was never mentioned again on the show. Even when the New Kryptonians came and the perfect intro for it was there, the show still didn't mention it. So maybe he sends out his distress to her without knowing it until she shows up.
That could also give Lois quite a lot to think about. Suddenly having Clark's voice fill her head would be enough to send her into fits. But it could also make for some good scenes.
Just some more thoughts.
