This was what Lois needed all along. One thing I see here that was also so true from the series is that Lex is a master at confusing Lois. In the series she didn't turn to anyone for help and that is why she ended up in so much trouble.
I loved this section:
Slowly, eventually, she felt herself begin to relax. Flying in Clark's arms paradoxically grounded her. By stepping away from the earth and into the clouds, she could see things much more clearly. And what she saw was that she had been blinded to see all along. She couldn't do this on her own. She needed her partner, her hero.
This is so much what she needed!
I also think that by going to Smallville and getting some time with Martha and Jonathan gives her more confidence that Clark is who she can trust and where she should turn.
I'm glad they got their kiss.
