This was quite the informative chapter. So, Jack is (likely) Lois' half-brother. OK, I totally did *not* see that coming. Cool twist and makes a lot of sense as a "distraction" for her. Also, would not be surprised if something like that happened to Sam. His and Ellen's relationship really is a mess.
Whether Lois' Jack and the farm Jack are the same or not...hmm, that remains to be seen. There is solid arguments why they are not identical but you never know, I assume. Wel, we might find out.
And we also learn some more about er reasons for leaving. So someone betrayed her with stuff for an article/decepted her over a long time and Perry wouldn't print it. Lex? And the one who abused her trust could be Claude? Hrmm...I get a feel like Perry might take her back if she asks though. Seems mor elike she had a number of bad things happen around the same time and she left, and actually wasn't "forced". the whole destruction of her carreer might also be more of an own mental observation (as in she got cheated/decepted on a story) than an actual pulib carreer crash since Perry didn't rpint the article in queestion but that imght hurt as much anyway.
Yeah, lots of interesting stuff to explore here.
Also, there's Lana who may or may not involved in a relationship with Clark...
As for their realizations: It seems as if Clark has fully accepted he has it hard for Lois, while Lois herself, has not come that far yet. Which, admittedly, could be due to her having so many other things to juggle in her mind right now...
Anyway, looking forward to the next one.
