Should Chloe have told Lois about the framed "rules"?

[xrayvision]

Do you think Chloe should have told Lois about Clark keeping Lois' "rules" in that picture frame, or should that have remained between them since they were speaking privately?

[eas]

Well, Clark himself showed it to "Lois" so Chloe probably thought it was fair game to tell the Real Lois.

[xrayvision]

^^But didn't he have to show it at that point?

[JennyMoon]

I don't know but I'm glad she did!

[IHeartClois]

LOL i thought it was funny that Chloe told Lois, she should have also added how Clark always gives her the puppy dog eyes, cuz I dont think the real Lois has noticed...I mean she still thinks that Clark is so not into her...

[Kevin24]

I like how he looked around the room before he pulled it out and handed it to Lois!:lol:

Anyway, I thought Chloe told Lois just for a laugh. They are all close and he knows they were just teasing him.:D

[borednow]

Exactly.

[prodigykane]

He showed it to the Chloe-Lois so why not the real Lois

HAHAHAH yea I noticed how he looked around before taking it out...that was ADORABLE!

[Vergon6]

HAHAHAH yea I noticed how he looked around before taking it out...that was ADORABLE!
Yes it was haha. Anyways, like others, I believe that it was fair game since he showed them to Chloe thinking that she was Lois at the time.

[Lilah]

Heck yeah! I'm glad she did! Clark Kent is a NERD! But we love him anyways lol

[smallvillerocks45]

Well, Clark himself showed it to "Lois" so Chloe probably thought it was fair game to tell the Real Lois.

Yes, but he wasn't himself then either...

Honestly, I'm not even sure it was intentional. Chloe could have been talking to Lois about her experience and let it slip that Clark has her "rules" framed in his desk.

By the way, did anyone notice that Lois spelled beginning wrong in rule number 7? I loved that!

[kiariclois]

The rules being framed, it's a bit telling isn't it, that she's special to him... but I didn't see Lois thought so... *shrugs*

[SGuthrie27]

Even though it obviously shows how much Clark's affection for Lois has grown, I think it was okay for Chloe to mention it to Lois since Clark had originally showed it to "Lois" in the first place. Sure, it was actually Chloe, but Clark didn't know that at the time. Besides, the two are cousins; why WOULDN'T Chloe have mentioned something like that?

--SGuthrie ><>' :)--

[Krypton935]

She had the right to tell her. After all clark thought he was showing them to Lois in the first place of his own free will.

[superpal1]

Chloe was just giving the relationship a little boost in the right direction.

[skylar]

I'm glad Chloe told Lois it was sweet for Clark to frame the rules just show he feel
something for Lois.

[DGirlLois4Clark]

Heck yeah.lol

[Mickey_Bickey]

The rules being framed, it's a bit telling isn't it, that she's special to him... but I didn't see Lois thought so... *shrugs*

Oh, I did. She said "who would have known you were this sentimental". The look on her face when she walked away shows just how much she cares for him.

Actually, I loved the look on his face when she walked away. He's definitely not writing down that rule!:D;)

[stenochick]

Well, how could she not? It was so adorable. Maybe a guy could keep that one to himself, but two female cousins or best friends, no way.

[chlo-el]

I was really surprsied that both Chloe and Clark told Lois what had happened. They usually keep her out of the loop with stuff like that. But I'm glad they talked to her about it. And I'm glad Chloe told her about it. It shows that there is no hard feelings between Chlo-Lo. And it gives Clark a little push. Chloe was always pushing Clark. And even though I've been a Chlarker I 've always thought eventually Chloe would push Lois and Clark together. She seems to be the catalyst in pushing them both into their destiny. In the process accepting her own.

[xrayvision]

I think that Clark will be more careful what he tells Chloe in the future about Lois after that. Both Lois & Clark will be more guarded in my opinion.

[Blugolds22]

It seemed like something a best friend would have kept secret for him. But I'm glad she didn't. I wonder what little momento Lois is keeping in her desk drawer that Clark gave her? You know she's keeping something there.

[xrayvision]

It would have been cool if Clark x-rayed her desk and saw something he gave her.

I was afraid that they wouldn't have Lois know later, and I'm glad that they made it so she does. It would have been wrong, imo, to have Chloe walking around in her shoes for a day and Lois to never find out. Chloe did the right thing by telling her.

[ClumsyGRL]

well,
considering that they are cousin who share pretty much everything, that clarky himself showed to chloe thinking she was lois and he didn't ask her to make it another secret when he discoverd the true. well...... HELL YES!!!!!!!!
everytime i imagine chloe and lois having this conversation, i just lmao.

chloe: " lois, i was bored with my live so i took yours"...
lois: " mine what?"
chloe:"ahhh.. ok don't interrupt me, a crazy hot magician turned me into you, fisically and i was living your live for like the first 30 minutes of the show, so then..."
lois:"no offense cuz, but are you on crack?or an hungover?i know i made that little cake i gave you, but i tasted it and it wasn't that bad, besides don't remenber putting anything on it..."
chloe: "no lois... i just wished... i wished to be you and then a hot zatanna hexed me..."
lois:"sure you.... wait?why would you wish to be me?were you watching frikky friday again?chloe i told you not to watch that without me since it gives you nightmares remember? and besides.."
chloe. hum....ahhhh...lois...hum... lois...did you know that clark framed your rules of repporting?"
lois:"smallville??"
chloe: yes, i found out...lois???were are you??lois?wow, i didn't realized she had superspeed too!!oh, clarky will kill me!!

[kg1507]

Clark needed the push. Chloe is the only one who sees how much they like each other, and I think any little bit she saw that could be used to further their relationship, she would've used. i loved it.

[supes0]

I thought she was very moved. Durance did a good job jumping from teasing to momentarily touched ('who knew you were so sentimental?") back to teasing (pretending to look for a spot to hang the frame, just to rattle him).

That was a great scene, it wasn't too angsty, but there were tender moments and painful conversations (the 'let's just be friends' talk Lois initiated).

I'm very impressed with Miller and the actors knocked it out of the park.

[MegasaurusRex]

Alright, maybe I'm the only one geeked out enough to notice this . . . not only did he have her rules framed . . . but he knew the order they're in! He said "that's rule number 4"

Hahaha, he's got it and he doesn't even know it.

[Tompouce]

I don't know but I'm glad she did!
I was honestly surprised but as you said, I am glad she did :D

I thought it was wonderful seeing the cousins are still close, even if it is in Offscreenville. It reminded me of the last scene in Hydro where Chloe teases Clark through Lois :D

[Iluvgreen]

That was a little rude. :lol: Oh well. It's not like a bad thing. I'm glad that she told Lois. We had the coolest end scene with Clois. Well one if the coolest.

[tyson08]

This is even a thread?! :lol:

Of course it was alright! Chloe is obviously going to tell her cousin the experience and 'gossip' about Clark!

[Kschreck]

I'm not sure where I stand on this but it is also possible that Chloe brought it up to Lois expecting Lois to already be aware of this.

[Jaderoyale]

Clark showed the rules to Chloe/Lois when he was under the spell and thought she was the real Lois. So no harm done.

Chloe and Lois are cousins, they're bound to gossip and share things. And tbh, i think its sweet they did. A nice hint of ChloLo, that we haven't had in a while.

[Sarevokcz]

why do i have the feeling Chloe will be playing matchmaker in Stilleto? :)

[Deana]

Yes, if I were her, I would have done it to get back at him for missing my birthday. ^___^

[redeyes]

cute scene. very cute.

[llk6165]

Yeah, I'm glad she told Lois b/c cuz gotta stick together. Plus, Clark showed it to Chloe when he thought she was Lois anyway. Plus, it made for very cute scene.

oooo, good point, especially considering Clark showed it to her thinking she was Lois.

[liana]

What really surprised me was not the fact that she told Lois about the rules. I was surprised she told her everything that happened. Once she did that, it is no wonder that she would gossip with Lois about Clark's feelings. After all, they are cousins, they love each other, and Chloe obviously knows about Lois' feelings for Clark.

Choe will always protect Clark's secret. The series showed it more than once, but I like to know that, in everything else, family comes first. ;) This wasn't about Clark's heritage: this was about his feelings for her cousin, and she thinks Clark is wrong not to act on it, and she saw her cousin in pain because of it. Why would she not tell her? Besides, as far as I know, Clark didn't ask her not to tell.

It is a nice reversal, when you think about Hydro. Lois told Chloe that Green Arrow was a great kisser, and Chloe knew she was talking about Clark. So, she asked Clark to come to her appartment, so that Lois could tell him, right to his face, 'Oliver is a great kisser, but that Green Arrow... He could teach Ollie a thing or two...' ;)

IMO, it was exactly the same thing. *shrugs* It is very in character, actually.

[marcella]

Definately

I'm glad she told her about it, but I don't think Chloe really had the right to make the judgement on whether or not Clark was wrong not to act on it. What if Lois ends up getting hurt because of Chloe pushing them (we all know this won't happen, but Chloe doesn't)? For all Chloe knows, they could end up just like her & Jimmy. I want Smallville to show that Clark & Lois are both adults who agree on their own volition to fall for one another. It shouldn't be because of Chloe or any other character that this happens.

This is why I liked Jimmy's way of getting the 2 together better than Chloe's. He's not forcing them together or putting them in uncomfortable situations. Instead, he gives his advice/opinion and then steps back for it to naturally happen. This is what he did in Bride when he told Lois that he thinks they would be great together. They would have gotten together in Bride without being forced by Chloe has she not alerted them of Lana's presence.

Plus, Clark showed it to Chloe when he thought she was Lois anyway.

My problem with this is that Clark was confident at that point (when he thought Chloe was Lois), and later on they made Clark be a wimpy fool again by taking away his confidence. I want Clark to be confident when he pursues Lois & not guilted into doing it, or not shown being needy. That's what I'd like to see---Lois throwing her usual lines at Clark but Clark not backing down or being embarassed as he so obviously was when he realized Lois knew about the framed rules. The mood in the Chlois-Clark scene at the beginning was totally different than the mood in the Clark-Lois scene at the end.

[Meteror Freak]

I was surprised when I realized Chloe told Lois about the rules, but it's not that big of a deal. It's not like Clark is keeping her clothes in his desk. lol

[xrayvision]

Clark showed the rules to Chloe/Lois when he was under the spell and thought she was the real Lois. So no harm done.

The thing is, that when he was under the spell, he had no idea that he was an alien along with his secret---the very thing that I know has in the past kept him from pursuing things with Lois. This was confirmed by Clark in Infamous when he said that he wouldn't tell Lois the secret when he went back because she was too important to him to risk in case things went bad like they did with Lana & Chloe.

This is what makes me think that showing the rules when he was under the spell doesn't count, because he was acting in a way he wouldn't have (free of any secrets & worries about hurting Lois by getting close to her).

[BULLITT]

Chloe making matchmaker = a nice light, cute touch.

[malcrew]

No. Family, if there close tell each other almost everything. I'm glad Chloe told Lois, after Clark stood her up. That tells Lois that Clark is interested in her.

I agree with you.....Chole was the one that wanted Clark to hear Lois say.. what a great kisser...Clark as Green Arrow was...if Chole was jealous of Lois or still harboured some romantic feelings for Clark..she would not have invited CK over...

lol Chole also brought up the fact in Hex...that she noticed CK giving Lois..."puppy dog eyes".....Clark looked kinda surprised & embarrassed to hear Chole say that....but he didnt deny it or protest to Chole...that she was wrong or imagining things....and that he ONLY saw Lois as a friend......

[superjude]

I am kind of glad that she told her just because it made for a fun scene between Clark and Lois. Besides, Chloe and Lois are women and they are cousins. Of course, they would get together (offscreenville) and discuss such things. That is what most, generally speaking, girls do- especially close friends or relatives.

[sunset]

The framed rules wasn't a private matter because just like what the others have posted, Clark showed it earlier to Lois/Chloe.

Question: Was it Clark who wrote the rules? Because I've read 2x (or was it 3x?) about a wrong spelling...

Clark should have been his regular self giving consideration to everything before showing her the rules.

Basically, I wanted Clark to show her the rules completely on his own free will as a sign that he would be willing to take a chance so he could show interest in Lois.

I could be wrong but I though the rules came out before he was under Zatanna's spell. If that's the case, then Clark told Lois beforehand and shouldn't be an issue.

I could be remembering wrong. Can someone confirm this?

[BadToad]

Personally, I don't think Chloe should've told Lois, and I'm not even sure why she did. But I also don't think its a huge deal. Clark was embarassed, but obviously not upset.

He showed her while he was under the spell. It was while Chlois was trying to convince him she was really Chloe and then he said something like "Something that seems to wierd to be true usually is thats rule number 4" and then he shows it to her.

[Jack-El49]

[xrayvision]

Exactly, Jack! Hopefully we see that sooner than later! I'm hoping the finale!!;):D

Nah, I'd rather have Lois lose interest in Clark & gain interest in the RBB as a result of Clark being MIA after his Doomsday battle and coming back later on (after healing or perhaps after death, if he dies) without any angst because he knows Lois has fallen for the RBB.

But for this to happen, they need to give him an RBB suit so Lois can talk to Clark as the RBB. The only problem is, would Lois fall for him, or even Superman for that matter?

This is a rather interesting question. Smallville's Lois has been written very well, but at the same time, she is at the point where she refuses to be with someone whose destiny is so great that she will be #2. This is what she said at the end of Siren, and it has been proven again in Infamous. Would this mean that Lois' perception of Superman is that his destiny would always leave her as #2? We know Superman saves Lois a lot & helps her out in bad situations. Would that be enough to convince Lois that Superman isn't leaving her behind? Or would Smallville's Lois mind that he is always out saving people?

This may be why this Lois will know that Clark is Superman before he becomes Superman. In Infamous, she said "this time it was different" because it was Clark, not some random hero she didn't know. If Superman shows up without Clark telling her his secret, then it's possible that Lois may not go for him because she doesn't know him, but she does know Clark because she spent years being his friend.

It's interesting to see how they will address this.

[supes0]

It will be interesting. I think she will, because he has the same qualities which drew her to Clark. The goodness, the caring, seeing the best in others.

That she doesn't know him as Clark, I think, is going to be the icing on the cake for Clark. Acceptance in a way he's never experienced (exception being his parents).

Hah, you are so right. The Kents took him in when they had no idea what could happen and Lois would be the next in line in placing trust in him. Too bad Jonathan isn't around to see that Clark ends up with someone worthy.

It reminded me of the scene in Hydro when Chloe forces Clark to listen to Lois talk about kissing "Green Arrow".

[drvr8]

Did anybody else catch what Chloe as Lois says to Clark just before she falls into his arms? "Anything else you aren't telling, Chloe...?"

Chloe still is naturally curious and wants to know as much as she can about pretty much everything.

[xrayvision]

I realized that many of the rules on that list were mentioned by Lois to Clark in Plastique. I wonder if there are deleted scenes with the rest of them being said. At least 3-4 of them were heard in Plastique. I guess Lois wrote them down later on since Clark didn't. I noticed a classic Lois spelling error in the 7th rule.

[SupermanRox]

Did anybody else catch what Chloe as Lois says to Clark just before she falls into his arms? "Anything else you aren't telling, Chloe...?"

I agree that is a good catch. I think that Chloe would love to know everything that is swirling around in Clark's head.
