Like everyone else I am on pins to find out why Clark needed alone time with his parents (if it wasn't just for quality time). Given the talks from M&J, I would think that Clark would realize that any withdrawal on his part now would make Lois feel worse. His actions could be completely innocent, but mix hormones with a lack of communication, and things become suspect. Even if he wanted to tell his parents the truth, that would be something that Lois should be in on.
The idea of progress along the space-time continuum makes me excited!
