“So if you only want him back in Metropolis because you miss your friend, then leave him where he is.”
Nice! This is great Perry wisdom. Lois' desire to get Clark back is coming from a selfish motivation - it's about her wishes, not Clark's. Lois needs to consider his advice, analyze her own feelings, and discover if there's more to her search for Clark than friendship.
Of course, Clark didn't do himself any favors by taking off without talking to her (as Clark).

I look forward to the next part.
