I love all the impressions the younger Lois receives from Clark, how she feels drawn to him--even actually thinks that she might be able to work with him. But then, of course, trouble must strike, as it always does with Lois, and now she doesn't trust him at all.
How like Clark to come out of that exchange depressed by the thought that she hates him and that it will backfire on him in the future. Clark is certainly not shortsighted in his goals!
Interesting how Barry is campaigning for her, but I only have bad feelings for this meeting between Barry and Tony at such an inopportune time.
