-- Continuation of Response to John's FDK --
Lois:What? Then how am I going to find my partner?
Pretty much.
Hmm, I guess this makes sense at some level. However it is probably overly caustious. Although, maybe Lois is still being tailed. Actually, probably not if Luthor does not realize she is looking for Clark.
Lois is not currently being tailed.

This might be quite difficult for her.
Who is she going to tell?
I was hoping she would totally ignore the message from Joe. Now I have to fear she might go see Luthor which would be really bad.
I am surrpised she admits that so soon. It is a key bargaining chip.
There might be another reason for this.
Another false assumption.
LOIS: Hey, you don't have to sleep in that apartment.
She seems to know more about that than Clark ever did.
The robbery happened while he was busy with EPRAD the night before (the night of the eclipse), so he didn't hear about it. Then he went to deal with Nightfall. After hearing the message on Clark's machine, Lois did more research into the robbery.
Maybe she will think it was Luthor looking for his past. OK, I doubt it, but I can hope.
Nope. No reason to tie Lex to this.
Well that is one point where Lois is wrong. Clark is clearly doing an investigation on his own, although it has not made any progress lately.
Hence the "as far as she knew" disclaimer.
I can see why he might not want to tell Lois this. They still have absolutely no evidence.
Yep. And the fewer people who know about it, the better.
Well he never said he was robbed around here.
No, he didn't.
So Henderson really does think SM=CK, even though he is hoping it is not so.
He's trying not to believe it.
Henderson is going to try to doge that question. If Lois knowns CK has amnesia she will really want to go see him.
HENDERSON: I plead the fifth.
Anything that might suggest such she has managed to dismiss.
LOIS: That would be... whoa!
Well there is a connection, but it is actually all Lois' fault.
LEX: <<raises hand>> I'm sorry, John, I'd like to claim victory for this one.
I don't think Clark ever wanted her to tell Perry that story.
Maybe not ALL the details...
Actually she is majorly downplaying how much she cares about Clark. I don't think the story is really what she wants at all, just an excuse.
And yet it still comes shining through.
No, the story is just an excuse.
she has outmanovered Henderson.
HENDERSON: Hasn't happened yet.
she did not figure out a way to go see Clark. I was so hoping.
LOIS: Oh, ye, of little faith.
Clearly, Henderson hasn't learned what happens when you tell a bad... er... Mad Dog 'no'.
Plus, if they detected it, the whole process would have failed.
That too.
Actually there are lots of things he is not telling her.
HENDERSON: Like she was fully honest with me, either.
Although how is she going to outmanover the officer?
LOIS: What am I? An amateur?
Well, I guess we do not have to bring out the wildguys since Lois and Clark are in the same building. I was hoping she would figure out a way past the gaurd sooner, but I guess I have to wait.
Sorry, I did need to leave some story for the next part.
