Hi Virginia!
I had to dig up this gem given Mary's
hair-themed May 2025 FDK Scavenger Hunt:
I'm not going to re-FDK the entire story, but if you FoLC want to check out the earlier FDK, it's all up there and in Parts 1 and 2 in pages and pages of screen real-estate.
This is just the last hair pieces!
LOIS:

“No, Clark!” Lois said, trying to speak calmly. She grabbed hold of his shoulders. “Stop chasing after blondes and try a brunette for once. I’m not a blonde!”
“Oh, thank God!” Clark exclaimed, embracing her. “It’s a wig, then?”
Lois is so adorable when she argues for being the "something new"

I never did see that particular quip coming

“I had forgotten I had this, so when I decided to get you to see the error of your ways in only falling for women with a certain hair color, I… I bleached my hair blonde first.” She slowly brought the wig down to her lap. “And I messed up.” She took a gulp of air, her eyes filling with tears again. “You know what they say, if at first you don’t succeed, dye and dye again.”
Clark stared at her in wonder, his head falling to the side. “Oh, Lois,” he murmured sympathetically. He knelt back down, giving her a soft kiss. “When I said polka dotted earlier, I never knew that it was actually possible.”

Most funny!
