Does Lois know?

[LimeArrow]

Or should know. I mean, why else did she call Clark and not the police? Even if she still hasn't put the pieces together, she should have figured it out. I mean, c'mon!

"Clark! Clark! Help!"
*She finds her date knocked out a moment later*
"Must be my mad army skills"

[redkryptoniteisthebest]

True, true. You have a very good point. I think she is putting the pieces together!

[roccanater]

Hmmm. Very interesting. She may have a hunch.

[Rhaspodel]

Well at least we know this episode starts her crusade to get that interview with the "mystrey hero".

[LimeArrow]

Hmmm. Very interesting. She may have a hunch.

I think it's more than a hunch.
Towards the end of the episode she told Clark about her new goal in life to see his reaction. She definably knows.

[minerva73]

Well the police would've gotten there rather late too seeing as how it'd take them a while to process her request and all and give her address. She'd be dead by then because Sebastian was willing to shoot her immediately and Lois would have to give the situation to the police as well as tell her address, but by just screaming "HELP!" to Clark, she knew that he'd at least know more than a regular operator would.

She assumed that Clark would be the closest friend to call. She thought that Chloe (as brave as she is) would've been caught up with Jimmy or at least not have been able to save her, so Clark was probably the ideal person.

I don't think that she has a hunch at all.

[davidbrenton]

I think she's going to get WAAAAYYY more pieces of evidence beyond that. It will be very interesting and fun to see how she handles all the bits of info coming her way as the show progresses.

I hope they keep moving along so by the season finale she knows.

[oldblackmagick]

just like lana in that one ep season three where there was the weird time travelling call from lana 24 hrs in the future when we got to see her get shot:D...aww that was a good day...oh but my point was she called clark and when he asked her why...she said "Cause I knew you'd be there." Plain as day cause thats basically what jimmy said too. they all know its just a matter of believing what they know...ya know:p

[colibri]

I think she knows just like she knew about Sebastian. I also think that bit where she makes sure Clark does NOT touch Sebastian is telling. The way she did it is interesting. I've been thinking she knows for a while.

[lovinredkclark]

of course lois calls clark when she in trouble, she really likes him now. he's probably #1 on her speed dial:rotfl:

[minerva73]

^ITA. Lana was close with Clark then, so she trusted that he'd be able to save her (without calling the police and giving her long drawn out story before Adam killed her). Lois is close with Clark, so she trusted that he'd get there quicker than the police would.

Other's opinions may vary.

[6-Super-Man -5]

Yeah, I was like why is she calling Clark? :p
But if you saw her smirk well Clark was zipping her dress, she likes him. :D

[LimeArrow]

How would she explain Seabass knocked out in front of her?

[HotStudsSuccess]

Yup, as she puts the pieces together and has a hunch that it is Clark she is protecting him.

Lois is Clark's Knight And Shining Armor

Lois is so cool!!!

[mayumi]

lets not forget the reference lois made about her so called destined one who flies around and wears red. she told sebastian guy this, does she actually believe that the caped guy might be her destined guy?

[susangail]

Great question. But would anyone imagine this Clark in tights? As a cross dresser? :rotfl:

[roccanater]

I think it's more than a hunch.
Towards the end of the episode she told Clark about her new goal in life to see his reaction. She definably knows.

You are right. I believe she may know about Clark.

[minerva73]

How would she explain Seabass knocked out in front of her?

Maybe something random happened and since Lois is now starting to believe in miracles, maybe she felt that something happened. She believed Clark when he said that he was sorry that he got the call afterwards and she had no clue that Clark had come around to save her either.

So she has no reason to connect the dots IMO. She just wants to get an interview with the hero (not discover his identity like Jimmy).

[WickedJenn]

Or should know. I mean, why else did she call Clark and not the police? Even if she still hasn't put the pieces together, she should have figured it out. I mean, c'mon!

"Clark! Clark! Help!"
*She finds her date knocked out a moment later*
"Must be my mad army skills"

This reminds me of some of the comics, where she said to Clark, after he told her his secret, that she knew all along but was waiting for him to tell her on his own.

I'm not quite sure if Lois is connecting it's Clark YET, but she could be on her way.

[OneShotClois]

I was definitely thinking about this after that scene aired.
I mean, she calls Clark, and a second later Sebastian is thrown away.
And then she sees the picture of the red/blue blurr and she can't put the pieces together? Then doesn't she ever wonder how Clark always disappears?
She knows Clark a lot more than Jimmy does and Jimmy still managed to put the pieces together way faster than her.
Maybe she does have an idea who it is, maybe she doesn't. I don't think we'll find out for a while.

[Ragius]

First off, what does ITA mean?

And second, I think she called Clark simply because he is obviously a protective and caring guy and from that speech he gave her when he was zipping up her dress she knows she can count on him.

[individuall]

Still doesn't explain how Seabass was knocked out.

[hyped4lnc]

Still doesn't explain how Seabass was knocked out.
Lois credited that to the Superdude.

[galatians221]

This is the first time Lois has been in peril and she called Clark. That's a huge breakthrough and I'm wondering if she secretly suspects that Clark is the blur. I mean she calls Clark and then seconds later she's safe. This would be perfect if TPTB go on this line. Perhaps she just suspects but I like the fact that this LL isn't going to be fooled by a pair of glasses. Let her know and play it just like Chloe did for two seasons before Clark finds out that she knows. I love the way this is going.

[LimeArrow]

Lois credited that to the Superdude.

Still. Seabass was knocked out RIGHT after calling Clark.

[ChronX4]

Clark = guy that's most likely going to be in Smallville since he lives there, and also stronger than Jimmy.

That's why he was called.

[LimeArrow]

[Kel-El09]

What if she really has an idea about Clark...I didn't pick it up during the episode...but she knows that Sebastian can touch people and see their memories...that's why she goes on the "date" with him. Well, remember when they're (Seb, Lois and Clark) in the talon apartment, and Seb is going to shake Clark's hand, but Lois pushes him away. What if it was because she thinks Clark has a secret.

[galatians221]

Also, the fact that she wouldn't let Sebastion shake hands with Clark is a tip that she knows. This is how I was hoping it would come down.

[SnowBird]

I was surprised she called Clark for help but I don't think she has any idea about his secret. Clark is a big strong guy even without powers and he saved her in Commitment so I believe she is starting to realize that Clark is more than a farm boy but rather a man to be counted on.

[Blue Orange NY]

She basing it on the fortune teller from the the Crimson epi, right?


lets not forget the reference lois made about her so called destined one who flies around and wears red. she told sebastian guy this, does she actually believe that the caped guy might be her destined guy?

[miks]

She doesn't know, and it was stupid of her to call Clark. If you're in danger...you call the cops. It's different if you are Chloe/Lana and know Clark can be there in a blink of an eye but Lois had zero reason to call Clark. She can't know because if she did then she would have had him on back up when she went on her "date" with crazy psycho killer.

Even though Clark is a big strong guy, what does that matter? Weren't they in Metropolis? Clark could have been anywhere!

[Baron Karza]

No... It's because she luuuuvzzz Clark and sees him as her hunky knight in shining armor.

Umm... anybody seen the heart-shaped emoticons?

[GottaLoveHotSuperHeros]

Also, the fact that she wouldn't let Sebastion shake hands with Clark is a tip that she knows. This is how I was hoping it would come down.

or she was just being nice.... :p


I don't think she knows yet. I think she just called Clark because her life was in danger and she loves Clark so he was the first person she thought of at that time.

[Blue Orange NY]

I doubt Lois knows anything...

[galatians221]

Yes but her attitude in that last scene sitting across from Clark wasn't much different than her attitude towards Sebastion when he hit on her. She remembered him and showed great insight. This is no dumb blonde. I think she either knows or suspects.

[wallyK]

In Superman tradition, Lois Lane does not figure out that Clark is Superman for quite awhile. The piece of the puzzle are there, and if she would compare notes with Jimmy, she would start suspecting Clark. As far as calling Clark, that has to happen so that he can rescue her. Calling 911 would be the most reasonable thing, but we have to make allowances for the plots. I'm willing to accept that Lois feels that she can count on Clark to help or at least get help. As Jimmy said, Clark is the kind of guy that people feel they can depend on.

[eas]

No, I don't think she knows. I think she's gotten very close to him and trusts him... she knows he's always there for her. That's why she called him instead of Chloe.

[minerva73]

She doesn't know, and it was stupid of her to call Clark. If you're in danger...you call the cops. It's different if you are Chloe/Lana and know Clark can be there in a blink of an eye but Lois had zero reason to call Clark. She can't know because if she did then she would have had him on back up when she went on her "date" with crazy psycho killer.

If you're in danger and you're about to die in like 5 seconds, then calling the cops won't help either. The police couldn't have done anything if she screamed "HELP!" to them because they'd need to know where she was and what was going on with her. Sebastian would've killed her by then. But by calling Clark, she knew that just by screaming for his help, he would've at least known that she was in danger and he probably could try to get there as quickly as possible without having to talk for a long time. The same thing happened in Crisis. Lana asked Clark for help and she didn't need to know his secret, but just that Clark could be there for her without having to give a long drawn out story.

I agree with your second part about calling Clark to back her up or at least calling for backup from someone else.


No, I don't think she knows. I think she's gotten very close to him and trusts him... she knows he's always there for her. That's why she called him instead of Chloe.

But I also think that she didn't call Chloe because she knew that she wouldn't be able to do much and the next best person that she'd call would be Clark. She could've came and fought off Sebastian, but she may have gotten hurt as well. Calling Clark was her best option (besides Jimmy, but she probably wouldn't know how Jimmy would react when he arrived).

[Mischael12]

Everyone calls Clark, its the motto. Shoot if I was in trouble I would call Clark.

[Kel-El09]

Actually, now that I think about it, I don't think her not letting Sebastian shake Clark's hand means anything. I don't think she specifically new his powers, because remember in the flashbacks her computer screen flashes Powers Classified. Besides, if she knew he could see people's memories..while would she let him "read her palm".

[Routh]

I was so surprised that she called Clark and not Chloe. I love it, actually. She thought he, of all the people in her life, could save her. She only had half a second to decide who to call, and she chose Clark. :) Yay.

[SteveS]

No, lois is clueless and it is clear from her last statement to ClarkMan about the hero, she has no clue that it is Clark Kent.

[mistaguitarmasta]

Yeah, she doesn't know it's him. She apparently just likes calling her friends when she's in trouble. Remember when she called Chloe at the end of 6x22 "Phantom" ?

[xrayvision]

I asked the same question in the Committed forum.

[pizzahead2490]

that is kind puzzling me as well. i dont think lois knows but i do think if jimmy was smart to put two and two together then lois aint that far behind.

[Deana]

Or should know. I mean, why else did she call Clark and not the police? Even if she still hasn't put the pieces together, she should have figured it out. I mean, c'mon!

"Clark! Clark! Help!"
*She finds her date knocked out a moment later*
"Must be my mad army skills"I don't know if I believe it is true but it is interesting to think about. We see the awful excuses she comes up with when she thought that someone was getting close to Oliver's secret. The "I got a better hit in then I thought" screams Lois trying to protect someone with one of her lame excuses.

[ShadowoftheBat]

lois doesnt know yet. She knew about sebastains power thats why she didnt want him to touch clark and she is obviously infatuated with clark so thats whats on her mind in time of panic so she wants him to save her

[svtwamedfan05]

Oh yeah she's definitely putting the pieces together. Plus her growing love for him is making her want to protect him more.

[cygnusx1]

I think she knows just like she knew about Sebastian. I also think that bit where she makes sure Clark does NOT touch Sebastian is telling. The way she did it is interesting. I've been thinking she knows for a while.

i noticed this also, but it could of been as simple as cks memories scaring off sebastian and lois' story is gone

[Bre723]

Well lois isn't stupid, that's for sure.
and she is a reporter.
i think ms. lane might be hot on the trail.

[Khyla]

She's clueless.

[4Clana]

I think she called Clark because he's her partner of sorts, like Chloe said they're joined at the hip or as Lois said, they make a good team. So when you're in trouble you call your partner. Plus Clark was the last person to see Lois before her "date" so would be able to know what's up and ID Sebastian.

[LCforever]

Shoot, maybe she called Clark because she thought she was going to die! Maybe she thought "This'll be the last chance I'll be able to say 'i love you'!". :\

[morrigan01]

Everyone calls Clark, its the motto. Shoot if I was in trouble I would call Clark.

Lois has never called Clark before when she's been in trouble. Because she's never thought he could help her if she was in trouble - not really. Because she's more or less been unimpressed by him until now.

If she's ever been able to get to her cell phone, she's usually called Chloe (like she did in Arrow). In fact, when she pulled out her phone and began to call someone in this episode, I fully expected it to be Chloe she was calling.

This was the first time she's ever called Clark when she's been in trouble like this. It was a subtle, yet significant way to show how Lois' opinion of Clark has grown and changed.

[lane06]

hhhmmm i think Lois called Clark because he was the one who knew that she's on a date with the sebastian guy that time.

[abbaspice1]

Let's look at the episode:

1) She won't let Clark shake the bad guy's hand.
2) When she is in trouble she called Clark.
3) She treated Clark in the same mannerism as she did the baddie during dinner.

She knows he has a secret. She may not the extent of the secret, but she is putting the pieces together.

[NoSupeForYou]

She knows Ollie is GA, but she didn't call him for help, she called Clark. She didn't even say where she was.

Remember, Lois lived with the Kents, so she wouldn't need to see the picture to know of Clark's infatuation with red and blue. It was also never revealed whether she saw what he did in Committed or not.

At the end, she didn't tell Clark that she wants to out who Superdude is, but get the first and exclusive interview with him. I think what we are seeing is what the difference between her and Lana is. Lana was always wanting to know what he was hiding, Lois respects him enough to wait until he's ready to tell her and is not being as pushy.

If Jimmy can figure it out, then Lois already has.

[ColdPlay3r]

i dnt think she knows yet

[LoveHurts38]

Lois has a feeling about it.

[smom-el]

Correct me if i'm wrong but that's the way i see it.

1) It's clear that people are aware that Clark is hidding something. So was Lana, Chloe, Pete, Lex, Lionel, and etc. More, the better they know him, the more questions they want him to ask. It's not realy hard to figure out that something is not fitting well in 'the Story of Clark Kent'.

2) As Lois previously stated - Clark isn't a good liar! Everyone knows it.

3) We all know that Lois is a very clever, independent and strong. But what's more important she has a reporter's instinct. There were a couple of episodes that Clark worked on some case (alone or \w Chloe) and at the end he was surprised that Lois had been there before him :) At the same time there is a part of Lois Lane that is sensitive and wise. That's why we love her. In one situation she can be taugh women kicking someone's ass. In second she can be telling funny stories and in third she can be giving wise and mature advices.

Do you remember when Chloe was discovering Clark's secret and asked Lois for advice? Lois said something like that:

"If your friend is not telling you the truth he has to have a good reason for keeping the secret. If i were you instead of telling him that i know i would rather supports him and wait until he'll be ready to trust me."

So let's try to make some conclusions.
There is no way that Lois isn't susspecting something! But for now it's hard to tell what she knows.

Maybe she has already put all the puzzles together?:cool:

Event if she had known the Clark's secret she wouldn't have told him!!! She would help him keeping the secret and wait for him to trust her. And as some of you have said here she is acting like that right now.


abbaspice1
1) She won't let Clark shake the bad guy's hand.
2) When she is in trouble she called Clark.
3) She treated Clark in the same mannerism as she did the baddie during dinner. But on the other hand she is definitly falling for Clark so it's obviouse that

1) cause she dont want Clark to get hurt.
2) cause she is thinking about him a lot
3) maybe because she is thinking that what Clark is hidding from her is his feelings?

That uncertainty causes that i can't wait to watch the next episode! Believe me it's not that bad cause if we have known all the answers would have we been interested in a show...

[leroj]

I really think Smallville should end with Lois getting into the helicopter. The helicopter crashing, her hanging out of the door and falling. They should replay that whole scene where Clark flies up grabs her and the helicopter. The classic line “I’ve got you” “but who’s got you”. Then he drops her off on the roof, she faints, he flies toward the screen and 8 great seasons come to a climax. That’s just what I would consider a fantastic ending to a fantastic series.

[Isabel14]

I think she's suspecting Clark, and she will keep this secret for herself, and she will observs Clark and will find another proof that will confirm her suspicion. I think they want to change a bit the original story. Maybe at the final she secretly did know all this time that Clark was that guy. You could see from the Daily Planet that she was looking implicit at Clark when she told him she was going to be the first to have an exclusive interview from this hero.

[galatians221]

She knows Ollie is GA, but she didn't call him for help, she called Clark. She didn't even say where she was.

Bingo. She also said something like "I didn't let you know the truth because I wanted to protect you" to CK and the only thing missing was a little wink. She knows.

[SupesComicFan]

Lois doesn't know. That doesn't make Lois dumb, that makes Lois, Lois. It took her what, 50 years on the comics and she didn't figure it out herself, Clark told her AFTER they were engaged? Lois, in another version of the comics, though, tried to PROVE it is Clark, like Jimmy did, but Superman and Clark keep thwarting her.

Lois doesn't know. It is what makes the triangle of two, and it doesn't mean that Lois is dumb.

This is a different time and era. Just as Lois caught on to Sebastian and pretended to be clueless, I believe she is on to Clark as well. I believe she became convinced when they were strapped in the chairs and he lasered the steam pipes so that he could take care of the villain and unloose Lois. Of course, she was staring right into his face which had seconds before been filled with cuts and blood and was now perfectly clean. It's assuming a lot that she didn't see anything or conclude anything. Further proof is that her whole demeanor changed after that incident and she now treats CK in a totally different manner. I love what they are doing. Don't rain on my parade!!!!!!!!

[SupesComicFan]

I know. I might like that Lois knows, that is an interesting twist.

She keeps saying she is good at keeping secrets, but we have no proof of this, but we would if she knew about Clark.

[Digitalsteel]

I think that they did this to show Lois' true feelings for Clark. He is the one person who is always there for her and it really shows how much trust she puts into him to be the one she calls. Think about it, as tough as Lois claims to be, who does she call when shes at her weakest? Her Knight n Shining Armor....Clark. We all now Lois wouldnt have called any one else....and she knows the Green Arrow!

[morrigan01]

I know. I might like that Lois knows, that is an interesting twist.

She knows Ollie is Green Arrow, but hasn't spilled to anyone that she knows it. She hasn't even confronted Chloe and Clark about if they know Ollie is Green Arrow, and I half suspect that she knows that they know. She just wont confirm it with them, because that would be talking to someone about a secret she said she'd keep.

[Iluvgreen]

She called him because she realized that he always has a knack of saving people. and she loves him. :D

[Iconic-Clois]

*drinks her Hawaiian Punch* dude, I literally gasped in delight when she called Clark first, it was squeeable.:o

i could not put it better as you did it right there.
one things 4 sure lois has some inclination about something, and thats what make the show so intresting. we want to know hats going to happen next.

[baltazor]

She might be unconsciously aware of him. But i think she called him because he is the first person that popped into her mind...

[galatians221]

She might be unconsciously aware of him. But i think she called him because he is the first person that popped into her mind...

Remember that she didn't tell him on the voice mail where she was. How many times would you be facing death and call someone and leave a VM and not tell them where this is taking place? She knew Clark had the powers to find her.

[madcloisfan]

yes without a doubt

[wattowatta]

Don't think that she knows-knows, but I think she knows that something up with him. She just saw him beat the tar out of their hostage-taker two episodes ago, so she knows he can be trusted to protect her rather well.

If we take the episode as-given, that Lois knew all along who Sebastian was, then it's plausible to say that she was protecting Clark by limiting the amount of people that Sebastian would be able to mind-read.

I have absolutely no idea what it means for a woman to ask a guy to zip her up, so I can't comment on that front.

[dalbajr]

I think that Lois may suspect that Clark has powers.
I am sure she was surprised that he was able to free himself from the Mad jewelers shackles in Committed.
Also if you remember in Bizarro she was surprised that he was able to pull the roof down.
Also she has seen him wear the red jacket more than Jimmy and if he was able to put the pieces together than Lois definitely will. Especially next week.
I want to hear Clark's explanation for her going to the PZ.

[Serynarpc]

It had to be something- either Jimmy's right and everyone thinks Clark is some super Friend or she knows that Clark is someone special. Whether Special Green special or Alien super hero special, we'll have to wait and see.

[1april1]

I'm positive that Lois knows something about Clark.

1. As everyone noticed Lois calls Clark when she's in trouble instead of the cops. So its obvious that she knows that Clark will some how come to her aid. (Plus this has nothing to do with my theory, I loved the way Clark abandoned the whole plan and went to Lois' rescue.:))

2. She makes sure Clark doesn't shake hands with that guy(whatshisname?) Its obvious she's protecting him.

I hope she's already connecting the dots like Chloe did and she'll stay silent. I don't want her to be like the comic Lois who gets fooled by a pair of glasses.

[HotStudsSuccess]

Or the evil Chloe that offed that guy in the hospital room told Lois off-screen about the secret during this season already.

[zorasuperman]

i think lois knows clark is special, but not special in that sense where he is "superman" special, just special to her, somewhere special in her heart.

[wolverine316]

Lois knows. Why else would she not allow Clark to shake the guys hand?

[galatians221]

Lois knows. Why else would she not allow Clark to shake the guys hand?

Bingo.

[Sweetie]

I'm sure she knows his secret since Committed but,plays the clueless girl.She saw him using his powers right in front of her.He was right there with blood in his face,the next,was totally fine,nomore blood.The way,she looked at him when he was saving her say it all.Didn't she say that she is good lier and secrets's keeper :cool:

[NoSupeForYou]

I think you also have to take her relationship with Ollie into account. She tried to out him as a the Green Arrow and that hurt their relationship. She's coming into this with that whole experience, so there is a logic to having her know but not say anything. Lois understands that Clark will tell her if, and when, he is ready to tell her and not any sooner.

Agreed and we need to remember that no one including Clark knows the full extent of what he can do. Chloe is the only one who knows what he currently can do (Lana & Lex are irrelevant) but while I agree that Lois knows that Clark is "the blur", what exactly does that mean? There's a lot for the inquisitive Lois to learn and we will all enjoy that process immensely. Only when Superman reveals himself to the world, requiring a disguise, will Lois know what she has in her desk mate at the DP. This is going to be the best part of Smallville and I hope that it continues into S9 and beyond but we need at some point to see Superman. If they can't do that then it may be best to just shut it down. We don't want Clois to be dragged out for three seasons of soap opera drama like Clana was.
