This is a promising beginning, Em. They both seem to be on the right track. Clark seems more self-aware than he was in the show. He realizes that he's been shutting Lois out and that they need to talk. And Lois knows that the reason for Clark's aloofness is Mayson's death, and also realized that they need to talk.
The trouble is that Lois knows that Clark is over-reacting to a friend's death. She's worried that it's because she was more than a friend. She has no way of knowing that it's because of his guilt. Clark has no reason to feel guilt over Mayson's death except for his Super abilities. So Lois can't really understand his reaction until she understands about Superman.
Of course, given the title, I've got to believe that there's going to be a good bit of angst involved before this all gets resolved. It can't possibly be as easy as "Lois, we need to talk." "I'm so glad you said that, Clark. I've been thinking the same thing." "Let's go the the Fudge Castle ans hash things out." "You're on, partner!"
Please just tell me that Scardino is not going to be part of it.
