This has certainly given them a setback from all the progress which they had made since Clark's return, so much progress in communicating with each other and trusting each other. They really need to talk to each other and hold each other and help each other get through this. It sounds like Clark is trying to turn around his wrong thinking, but he also needs to talk to Lois and show her his love is constant, despite this, and hopefully he will very soon. What they need is some serious smooching!
