Delightful. Now of course Lois will flee and Clark will drift a while more trying to respect her wishes.
I hope this means Claude and Lois won't happen. And thus Lois can chase her gun running story and be trapped and awaiting death and her link with Clark kick in and he can fly to the rescue.
And of course Mad Dog Lane will surface at that point and chew him out for thinking she was some helpless female.
They can follow the trail all the way back to Lex Luthor.
