Brilliant chapter and the ending as well as it sets up the perfect "exit" for Lois to go to Metropolis with Clark; however, she would have to say her goodbyes first to Hawthorn and accept that the Hawks have merged with Melbourne.
So, I am guessing that it might go a little down hill and that Lois might push Clark away a little?
OK, now I also googled it, but I'll stick to my previous assumptions so that my new theories don't spoil the story.
