Clark and Lois
From Smallville Wiki
"Lois? She's bossy. She's stuck up, she's rude. I can't stand her."
Lois Lane and Clark Kent's relationship began when they met at the beginning of his senior year of high school. (Crusade)
Lois and Clark often bicker but this could be due to the sexual tension between the pair. Despite these disputes, Lois and Clark have been shown to care a lot about each other [1]. According to Warner Brothers, they were not allowed to have any relationship foreshadowing their future romance on the show until the movie Superman Returns was released in June 2006. [1] However, since its release, the show's writers have been given the green light to do as much foreshadowing as they wish. [2]
Although the two have never dated, more than one person has commented on their chemistry over the course of their friendship. When Oliver Queen started dating Lois, he half-jokingly commented that Clark masked his feelings for Lois with sarcasm due to the two of them living under the same roof for so long. Jimmy Olsen set them up for a date on Valentines Day on the grounds that they had chemistry, yet Lois remained unconvinced describing their potential relationship as "hot fudge and halibut". A mystic called Star later cryptically told Jimmy that she had a feeling that Lois and Clark's destinies were more intertwined than anyone realized. Lois has also demonstrated a certain attraction for Clark on the three occasions where she has witnessed him openly using his powers, although she has always forgotten what she saw in the aftermath [2].
The relationship between Lois and Clark is usually called "Clois" by fans of the show.

[edit] Season Four
"I'm glad to see we've moved beyond the 'clothing optional' stage of our relationship" Lois Lane to Clark Kent, Crusade
Once Lois discovered that he was in fact Clark Kent, she was keen to get to know him better to help with her investigation. However, Martha Kent was keen to keep them apart whilst he was under the influence of his Kryptonian persona. After Clark returned to normal, Clark offered to help Lois uncover Chloe's death, and suggested she stay at his house while she was in town. Lois and Clark's personalities wildly clashed during her stay, as she had little respect for his privacy and even barged in on him in the shower, much to his shock. As soon as they began their investigation, and even after finding Chloe alive, they continued to argue and trade insults. However, when Lois revealed that her mother had died when she was little, Clark sympatheized with Lois.
Clark was less than thrilled when he discovered that Lois would be staying in Smallville for a while longer, as she had failed her last semester of high school and had to finish at Smallville High. Lois was also desperate to leave and helped Clark and Chloe write articles for the Smallville Torch for extra credit. Early in the year, she dunked Clark in the school dunk tank. Eventually, Clark asked Lex for a favor and he got Lois enrolled in Metropolis University and out of Clark's hair.
Lois was kicked out of the University shortly after and relied on Clark to let her stay at the Kent Farm again. Lois wound up staying in Clark's bedroom for the remainder of the school year whilst Clark slept on the couch. Although they usually fought, they sometimes had moments of friendship as Lois tried to adjust to small town life and the strange goings-on in Smallville. Lois threw a party for Chloe's eighteenth birthday in Clark's barn. Although Clark warned Lois that he had someone coming from Princeton Univeristy to interview him, Lois showed no concern and went ahead with the party plans anyway, showing a complete lack of consideration for Clark and his future. Lois also showed that she was not impressed with Clark's choice of girlfriend, when he started a relationship with ex-mental patient, Alicia Baker.
A friendship began to develop between Clark and Lois when they needed each other for support. When Clark's girlfriend died, Lois offered Clark her condolences and felt sorry for Clark. Having discovered who the murder was she confided in Clark, however, he was so consumed with grief and rage that Clark almost killed him. Lois was able to reach out to Clark and calm him down. When Lois' little sister Lucy ran away, Lois confided in Clark that she felt guilty about how Lucy had turned out, and Clark tried to reassure her that she was a good big sister.
Despite getting closer, their bickering continued. Lois hit a dog and brought him to the Kent farm. Even though Lois was highly allergic, Clark decided to keep him. In retaliation, Lois suggested they name the dog 'Clarkie' on the grounds that he was annoying and she couldn't come within ten feet of him without feeling sick. Clark was surprised when Lois suggested that she accompany him to the Senior Prom. Seeing how beautiful she looked in her prom dress, Clark agreed. However, he later discovered that Lois was possessed by the spirit of Dawn Stiles and, once Lois was exorcised of her, Lois was not impressed that she was Clark's date.
The day Clark graduated from high school, Clark didn't even try to conceal his delight when Lois announced that she and her father were leaving town to locate her sister. She started to give him a compliment about graduating high school but couldn't resist the opportunity to tease him one last time.
[edit] Season Five
"There are times when I think you don't know me at all. And others when I think you know me better than anyone..."
"Well that's what I'm here for, Smallville. One save at a time."-- Clark and Lois, Oracle, Season Five
The second meteor shower interrupted Lois' plans to leave and instead, she met up with Clark again at the hospital. Clark thanked Lois for being there for his parents while he was trying to save Smallville. He attempted to return the favor when Lois nearly drowned, but Arthur Curry got there first. Thankful that AC had saved her, Lois fell in love with him. However, Clark remained suspicious of AC, as he exhibited metahuman powers in the water. Lois thought that Clark was jealous and got angry with Clark. After the confusion was set straight, Arthur left and Lois and Clark reconciled. Clark comforted Lois as she began to wonder if she would ever find the right guy.
Lois seemed insulted when Graham Garrett suggested that she was Clark's girlfriend. She then started a relationship with Graham but, when Clark discovered that he was a serial killer, Clark warned Lois away from him. Suspecting that Clark was jealous again, Lois got angry with Clark until Chloe revealed the truth about Graham. Lois then realized that Clark only had her best interests at heart and helped save him from Graham, who had discovered Clark's weakness to kryptonite.
After Lois moved out and got an apartment of her own, Clark and Lois became better friends, as they had more space between each other. They had thoughtful conversations about their shared uncertainty of their own futures. Lois believed that Clark kept his feelings bottled up, so she gave him a diary for his nineteenth birthday. She even gave him advice after he broke up with Lana, suggesting that maybe Lana wasn't everything Clark had been hoping for in a relationship after all. She recommended that sometimes it is important to put your feelings to one side until the right time. This made Clark realize that, whilst he sometimes thought Lois didn't know him at all, other times she seemed to know him better than anyone.
[edit] Season Six
"Wow - Whitesnake - I must have really liked you."-- Lois Lane to Clark Kent, Crimson
After Lois was hurt in a plane crash, Clark visited her in hospital. Lois confided in Clark about her experience and he told her that he was glad she was ok and affectionately touched her hand. As both of them noticed that they were becoming closer, they shared an awkward moment and reverted back to their usual banter.
When Oliver Queen came to Smallville and he and Lois started a relationship, Oliver suggested that Clark was a bit jealous and possibly had feelings for Lois that he himself wasn't aware of. When Oliver turned out to be a good guy, Clark told him that if he continued to keep his identity as Green Arrow a secret from Lois, their relationship was doomed to fail, having learnt this the hard way from his relationship with Lana Lang. When Lois began to suspect that he was the Green Arrow, she enlisted Clark's help to prove it. Instead, Clark dressed up as the Green Arrow to help Oliver keep his identity secret. Believing that it was Oliver, Lois kissed Green Arrow, unaware that it was actually Clark. This was Clark and Lois' first kiss. After Oliver showed up, Lois slapped Clark and he sped away. When he took off his disguise, he was surprised at Lois' actions but pleased. Lois later declared the Green Arrow a fabulous kisser, even better than Oliver. Clark seemed embarrassed but pleased at this.
On Valentine's Day, Jimmy Olsen attempted to set Lois and Clark up on a date, reasoning that the two of them had chemistry but, after they were left alone, Lois and Clark parted company. Nevertheless, Lois then tried a red kryptonite lipstick and fell madly in love with Clark. Whilst Clark initially felt uncomfortable with Lois' advances, she continued to pursue him aggressively and, once she infected him as well by kissing him whilst wearing the lipstick, Clark reciprocated her feelings.
During their kiss, Lois recognised Clark as the Green Arrow but he explained what happened. Under the influence of red kryptonite, Clark revealed his powers to Lois and took her on a moonlit leap from the Daily Planet rooftop to Queen Tower. They got very close, ripping each others clothes off, until Clark became distracted by Lois' invitation to Lex and Lana's engagement party. They crashed the party where he dumped Lois to kidnap Lana. Lois tried to convince him that she was his future, but he reminded her that they were in the present. Lois was heartbroken until Jimmy sprayed her with an antidote. She was left with no recollection of what happened and was surprised to discover that she had a "Lois and Clark Forever" tattoo on her clevage. She was relieved to find out that it was temporary but approached Clark to discover what he remembered. She was clearly nervous that they had had sex. Clark attempted to tease Lois, until she discovered a Whitesnake CD she had given him, prompting her to comment "...I really must have liked you", which made them uncomfortable.
[edit] Season Seven
"Talk about sweeping a girl off her feet."-- Lois Lane admiring Clark Kent, Apocalypse
Lois went to the Luthor Mansion to find evidence of Lex's secret experiments at Reeves Dam. Clark had warned her not to go, as he was clearly concerned for Lois' safety, as she made it her mission to go up against the Luthors. Whilst at the mansion, Lois came across Clark's doppelganger, Bizarro. Attracted to her, Bizarro grabbed Lois' bottom, which she did not appreciate. She slapped him and later, believing that it had been Clark, reprimanded Clark for it.
When Clark told Lois that he was going to leave Smallville, she was clearly upset, although she covered up her feelings by making it seem that she only wanted him around to harass. Nevertheless, Clark decided to stay, although he and Lois spent some time apart, as he was busy looking after his newly-arrived Kryptonian cousin, Kara and enjoying his renewed relationship with Lana. Meanwhile, Lois was busy with her job at the Daily Planet and her new relationship with the editor, Grant Gabriel.
When Lois' relationship with Grant fell apart and her subsequent attempt to reignite her relationship with Oliver failed, Clark comforted Lois. She clearly appreciated this and the two of them embraced. She tried to return the favor when he was grieving for Lana after her Brainiac attack. Lois was saddened that she wasn't able to help Clark more and reverted to a 'buddy' relationship by taking him for a drink. Lois was keen to help Clark apply for an internship at the Daily Planet, indicating their growing relationship.
Once Lana recovered, she quickly made a decision to leave Smallville and left Clark a video explaining her decision. Lois walked in as Clark was watching it and offered him a comforting hug. Lois was clearly upset to see Clark heartbroken and Clark seemed to appreciate Lois' support.
[edit] Alternate Reality
In the alternate reality Clark visited a world where he never came to Earth, he rescued Lois - a Pulitzer-prize-winning journalist - when she was abducted by the Department of Domestic Security. Lois appreciated his help and was impressed by his superpowers. Despite lacking any knowledge of Clark as a person, Lois trusted him and offered him help to find out what Lex Luthor and Milton Fine were up to.
[edit] Season Eight
"I don't do too well with fortune tellers. The last one I went to see, told me I was destined to fall for a guy who flies a lot and likes to wear tights. So I'm just waiting for my cross-dressing pilot to make his landing" Lois Lane, Identity
Following Clark's return after he temporarily lost his powers during the collapse of the Fortress of Solitude, he bumped into Lois whilst he searched for Chloe at Black Creek. Lois seemed pleased to see him, although surprised, as he had been missing for several weeks. They greeted each other with their usual banter and, once they had rescued Chloe, Clark took up Lois's earlier suggestion to work at the Daily Planet. Lois was surprised at Clark's change of heart but seemed pleased that Clark would be working at the desk opposite hers, although she kept her feelings hidden from Clark.
Lois greeted Clark on his first day and took him under her wing to teach him all she knew about journalism. She gave him one of her colleagues spare suits to borrow and seemed attracted to his new, smarter look. They began to work on stories together and they seemed to appreciate each others help.
When a superpowered alien queen with mind-altering powers came on to Clark, he was unable to resist her endorphin kiss. Lois walked in on Maxima and Clark making out in the elevator, and was noticeably shocked and upset by what she had seen. Seeing Lois, Maxima's spell over Clark was broken and he rushed after Lois, as he could see that she was upset. She claimed to not care about Clark's love life and quickly rushed off. Perceiving Lois as a threat and jealous of Lois' connection with Clark, Maxima went after Lois with intention to kill her. Lois denied any bond between her and Clark, but Maxima explained that a bond between them is the only way Clark was able to resist her influence. Lois was surprised by this and prepared to defend herself against Maxima's attack. Clark arrived in time to save Lois by super speeding away with Maxima. Once Clark had returned Maxima to her home planet, Almerac, he discussed with Lois what had happened. Maxima had made Clark think about soulmates and he wondered aloud to Lois if he would recognise his soulmate. Lois assured him that he would know when the right woman comes along, but remained tight-lipped about what Maxima had said to her. Clark offered Lois her old room back, but she declined.
Lois got drunk at Chloe and Jimmy's engagement party and took her to the Kent Farm to make sure she was safe. Lois awoke on the sofa wearing one of Clark's shirts and was nervous that they might have slept together. Clark quickly put her mind at rest. Clark then drove Lois back to her apartment and when they arrived Lois listened to an answering machine message that a drunken Lois left talking about how cute Clark is. Lois was clearly embarrassed but claimed it was just the alcohol talking. They then realized that Chloe and Jimmy hadn't been back to the apartment either and discovered that they, along with other couples, had been kidnapped.
Lois and Clark posed as a couple in various shops to try to lure out the kidnapper. Clark was reluctant to do this, but Lois seemed to enjoy it. Their plan backfired when Lois was kidnapped. As Clark went to find her, he was weakened by the kidnapper's kryptonite bracelet. With Lois and Clark both tied up in electric chairs and wired to a lie detector, the kidnapper, Macy went through a series of questions about their relationship. Lois answered that she had never cheated on Clark, which registered as a lie, causing Clark to be electrocuted. Lois was then asked if she loved Clark. Wanting to spare Clark the pain of another electric shock, but keen to keep her feelings hidden, Lois hesitated. Clark encouraged her to tell the truth and was surprised to hear Lois admit that she did love him. This registered as the truth so Clark was then asked the same question. Before he was made to answer, Clark overpowered Macy and escaped with Lois. After this, Lois was clearly embarrassed and keen to avoid Clark. When Clark caught her in the elevator, Lois claimed that she had slipped the sensor off her finger, leaving Clark to wonder about Lois' true feelings.
Clark was surprised when Lois set up a date with Sebastian Kane. She seemed excited when Clark helped her zip up her dress, whilst she was preparing for the date, although she later confessed that it was not really a date, as she was investigating him for his meteor infection. When this put her in trouble, Clark prioritised saving Lois over concealing his identity. Lois was amazed when the red-blue blur saved her and told Clark that she would track her hero down, not realizing that it was in fact Clark.
Lois, later, decided to move out of the Talon apartment and accepted Clark's offer to live with him at the farm. However, Clark was clearly nervous about this and tried to discourage her. Being so close to Lois soon led to trouble when the reprogrammed Crystal of Knowledge sent Lois and Clark to the Phantom Zone. Lois was frightened to discover that she was in an alien world and relied on Clark for comfort. He reassured her that "No one messes with Lois and Clark." Clark was very protective of Lois and, when they stumbled upon Kara, they hatched a plan to open the portal to send Lois home. When Clark and Kara also escaped, Kara suggested that he should tell Lois his secret, as she thought Lois could handle it. Kara reassured Clark that he obviously thought so too otherwise he wouldn't have let her get so close. Nevertheless, seeing the danger that he had put Lois in, he decided against it. Lois was left beleiving that she had just had a very lucid dream, but changed her mind about moving in with Clark when Tess Mercer gave Lois a raise.
During Chloe and Jimmy's pre-wedding preparations, Lois spoke to Jimmy. Having previously tried to get Clark and Lois together, he maintained that she and Clark could have something amazing. Lois seemed reluctant to admit this, but remained thoughtful. Lois and Clark then admired each other's formal attire and, when Clark read out Jimmy's wedding speech notes, Lois thought that Clark was finally revealing his true feelings for her. She was surprised and disappointed to see that this was not the case and Clark seemed to realize the mistake. They continued to share flirty moments during the wedding and almost kissed during a slow dance during the reception. They were interrupted by Lana's arrival, leaving Lois depressed.
Lois confessed to Oliver Queen that she was confused by her feelings for someone and feared that she had misjudged the situation. However, she continued to explain that there had been moments when she could not deny her attraction to this person and she had never felt this way about anyone before and thought that this person needed her. Correctly deducing that Lois was referring to Clark, Oliver assured her that Clark does need her, which pleased Lois.
Lois spent some time away from Smallville and, when she returned, she was disappointed to find that Clark was three hours late picking her up at the airport. Keeping his heroic duties a secret, he was unable to explain his delay. Nevertheless, shortly afterwards Linda Lake encouraged Clark to expose his true identity after she attempted to blackmail him. Clark chose to ask Lois to write his story. Although she didn't believe him at first, once Clark demonstrated his powers, Lois was clearly impressed. She assumed that she was the first to know and was disappointed when Clark admitted that Lana and Chloe had known for years.
Lois' article made everyone in Metropolis look up to Clark, until Linda convinced people that Clark was an alien invader. Chaos ensued and Lois, trusting Clark implicitly, vowed to clear his name. Clark came up with his own plan to put a stop to the situation and wanted to use the Legion ring to go back in time to 2 days before he revealed his secret. Lois was disappointed to realize that Clark would not tell her again, thinking she wasn't special. Clark assured her that the reason why he wouldn't tell her his secret again was because she was special.
In the new time line, Clark remembered to pick Lois up at the airport. Lois gave Clark a chance to talk about the 'almost kiss' that happened at the wedding but Clark said that would be a very complicated conversation. Lois told Clark that she would be at the cafe later and if he decided to come that would be cool, but she tried to remain casual. Clark went to the coffee shop and saw Lois waiting, but instead of meeting her, he sent a text from across the street with the excuse that he was held up at work. Lois looked disappointed but, to save her dignity, she replied that she couldn't make it either.
When Chloe was made to look like Lois due to a magic spell, she went to the Daily Planet to assume Lois' life. Believing Chloe to be Lois, Clark revealed that Lois had called him six times, whilst he hadn't spoken to Chloe once on her birthday. Chloe quickly noticed how Clark was treating her differently as Lois and, once she was returned to normal, they discussed his changing relationship with Lois. Clark said things between them had been a bit uneasy but Chloe believed he was interested in Lois and encouraged them to work things out. However, Lois announced she was going on a date with a guy she'd met while on her trip and Clark seemed a bit crestfallen that she didn't want to spend time with him. Lois, remembering that Clark stood her up at the coffee shop, declared that it would be easier if they just remain coworkers, although she seemed pleased that Clark had kept her rules of reporting from when he started working at the Daily Planet.
Lois became a superhero known as Stiletto to get the Red Blue Blur out of hiding. When Clark met her in her disguise, he knew instantly it was Lois. She was angry that he could see through her disguise and showed resentment that he had stood her up that night at the cafe. Nevertheless, when Clark found Lois in danger, he took a bullet for her, despite being weakened by kryptonite. Lois was clearly concerned for Clark and upset that her irresponsible plan had put him in danger, although he worked, as later that same night, Lois received a phonecall from the "Red Blue Blur". She offered to talk anytime and he told Lois she would be the first to know his secret when he's ready to reveal himself to the world. Lois was pleased with this, whilst Clark's trust in Lois seemed to grow.
When Clark discovered that he would die the next day fighting Doomsday, he wrote a letter as the Red Blue Blur to say his goodbyes. Lois arrived as he was finishing this to express her disappointment that he wasn't helping to find Chloe. When she went to look at his computer screen he shut it down. Frustrated by his secretiveness, Lois became angry with Clark. He then called Lois as The Red Blue Blur to ask her to publish the letter if something were to happen to him. She was shocked that he could die and was clearly concerned for his safety. She then arranged to meet him by a phone booth but, before she could get there, she was accidentally sent to the future via the legion ring.
During Doomsday's attack, Clark went to the phone booth and was shocked to see that she wasn't there. Clark was nervous that she had been hurt by Doomsday and, after Doomsday was defeated, Clark searched for Lois. When this proved unsuccessful, he confided in Chloe that there seemed no hope of finding Lois. He was clearly upset by this, which aided his decision to turn his back on his human persona.
[edit] Season Nine
Although Clark turned his back on his human side after Jimmy's death, he remained distracted by Lois during his training with Jor-El. Clark was told by Jor-El to say goodbye to Lois so he could focus on his training. However, Clark found that Lois was in danger by a mysterious lady from the future. He made it his mission to protect her and look over her, which Alia had predicted he would do, which was why she had targeted Lois in the first place. This made it clear that Lois and Clark's futures are significantly entwined.
Lois missed Clark and seemed excited when she mistook John Corben for Clark, as he tried to annoy Lois by creaking his chair, as Clark had done a year earlier. As the Blur, Clark continued to keep in contact with Lois via the phone. However, this put Lois in danger, as he requested her help to stop Corben after he had been turned into a cyborg. Once she was kidnapped, Clark once again came to Lois' rescue. After defeating Metallo, Clark tended to an unconscious Lois, stroking her brow with affection. When she woke up, she saw the Blur standing in the distance concealing his face in the shadows. Whilst she was overjoyed to see him, she was desperate for the Blur to reveal his face but he supersped away.
The next morning, Clark restarted his job at the Daily Planet and Lois was thrilled to see him. She ran into his arms telling him how glad she was that he was back, but she quickly became embarrassed and backed away. Clark then leaned toward her and whispered that he missed her too. The Blur seemed to come in between Lois and Clark, as Clark began to suspect that Lois wanted to be in a relationship with the Blur, which Lois denied. Meanwhile, Lois remained oblivious to the fact that Clark was leading a double life as the Blur.
Lois & Clark found themselves investigating a Zombie threat that was reported by Tess Mercer. Lois soon had to defend herself against the entire staff of the Daily Planet that had been transformed into zombies. When Clark eventually arrived, he was keen to protect Lois, although she was skeptical that Clark could defend them. They fought off the zombies together, although Clark was torn between maintaining his secret and protecting Lois. As a result, Lois was bitten by one zombie. In a safe location Lois & Clark shared a tender moment where Lois, unsure of their chances of survival, decided to share one of her deepest secrets that her involvement with the blur was for selfish reasons but she felt an intimate connection with him that she had never experienced before and didn't want to be alone again. Clark was very touched by Lois' feelings but failed to tell her his secret when she asked him if he had anything he would like to share. Lois soon turned into a zombie as a result of her bite. Clark was horrified to discover this and, unwilling to inflect any harm to Lois, Clark tried to reason with her. Unaware of her actions, a zombified Lois attacked Clark and pushed Clark into the street. Clark grabbed Lois and held her firmly until the antidote came down as rain and cured her. Relieved to have survived their ordeal together, Lois & Clark shared a romantic embrace in the rain. Later, Lois pays Clark a visit at the Kent farm to thank him for being there for her, she said she's seen a new side to him that of a hero. She also said that he never did tell her his secret but not to worry she'll find out eventually.
When Jor-El temporarily gave Clark the power of telepathy, he was able to hear Lois' thoughts and was pleased to hear that her deep attraction to him. Encouraged by her feelings for him, Clark invited Lois on a date. However, due to Toyman's threat to blow up the Ace of Clubs, Clark was unable to make his date with Lois. She misunderstood Clark's intentions and believed that Clark was chasing a story without her rather than standing her up again so followed him. Keen to keep Lois safe, Clark pretended he was only interested in the story much to Lois' dismay.
In an effort to make amends Clark shared the byline with Lois after asking her help to finish the article. Clark apologized for letting her down and Lois accepted his apology. Clark enquiried how he might get a second date after messing up to which Lois told him, hypothetically speaking, to wait for a slower news day. Clark assured her that hypothetically speaking, he would get it right the next time.
In fear that she would have nothing to fall back on should newspapers have no importance in the future, Lois auditioned to be the host of a new morning show, "Good Morning Metropolis" and takes Clark along. They're surprised though when they find they'll only be hired together since they have amazing chemistry. For their first assignment, they are sent on blind dates. Lois is jealous when Clark's date turns out to be Catherine Grant, or as Lois sad, "Mother Theresa in six-inch heels." Lois wants to have an even better date and that date turns out to be Oliver. Clark watches as Oliver tells Lois he still has strong feelings for her and is visibly hurt thinking Lois feels the same way. What Clark doesn't see is Lois teling Oliver she only loves him as a dear friend which makes Oliver figure out she wants Clark to which Lois agrees to. Still, Clark, only knowing what he saw, saves Lois and Oliver from Oliver's new friend's, Mia's, boss and his cronies. At the Daily Planet, Clark finally shows Lois his true feelings for her when he makes the first move and they end up sharing a passionate kiss.

[edit] In Other Media
In the Superman feature films, Clark and Lois worked together, and Lois likes Clark as a friend, but is in love with Superman. She later extends her feelings to Clark after she discovered his true identity. However, in the storyline continued by the latest film, Superman Returns, Lois has moved on in another relationship although clearly still in love with Superman, while Clark is almost exclusively Superman, fulfilling his destiny to save the world.
In Lois & Clark : The New Adventures Of Superman the relationship with Lois is the prominent relationship Clark has, as the name suggests. She discovers the fact that he is Superman in the end of the second season, shortly before he proposes. They get married and adopt a child sent to them from New Krypton.
Because Smallville is its own continuity and not guaranteed to follow any particular storyline, it remains to be seen if Clark and Lois will be happily married like in the comics, or tragically apart as in the feature films, although since Lana Lang left the series as the main love interest, Lois and Clark have grown closer hinting at a possible romance in the future.

- Lois: Well, if there's a good reason for all the pain and aggravation, I'm dying to know.
- Martha: Maybe you have to get through all the wrong men so you can recognize the right one.
- Fade
- Lois: Look sometimes you gotta tuck your feelings away until it's the right time. Like stuffing dollars into a piggy bank for a bike you can't quite afford.
- Clark: Except, I can't quite imagine there is anyone else out there.
- Lois: Well, you never know, Clark. Maybe when you finally crack open that piggy bank you'll find that all this time you haven't been saving for a bike, you've really been saving for a Harley.
- Clark: There are times when I think you don't know me at all, and others where I think you know me better than anyone.
- Lois: That's what I'm here for, Smallville – one save at a time.
- Oracle
- Oliver: (to Clark about Lois) If I lived under the same roof with such a beautiful woman, I probably would've masked my feelings in sarcasm, too.
- Arrow
- Lois: Well, he [Clark] was holding me in his arms. And Ollie's a good kisser, don't get me wrong, but that Green Arrow [Clark], he could teach Ollie a thing or two.
- Hydro
- Chloe: (to Clark) You never know when the next love of your life is right around the corner. [As she says this, Lois enters - from just around the corner]
- Crimson
- Jimmy: Lois was all alone, and... then it hit me. Lois and Clark.
- Chloe: Lois and Clark?
- Jimmy: You gotta admit, they got chemistry.
- Chloe: So do nitro glycerin and peroxide but you don't hear me suggesting we put them together.
- Crimson
- Bizarro: (to Lois about her) Man, how can a guy [Clark] miss what's been right in front of him all this time?
- Bizarro
- Lois: Smallville, you were there for me when I needed a shoulder to cry on, and I am blowing this big-time. Look, I-I just wish I could make everything all right.
- Clark: You're a good friend, Lois.
- Apocalypse
- Clark: I'm tracking Chloe down. The question is: how did you get here?
- Lois: Feminine charm. (Clark snorts) Yes I do have some.
- Odyssey
- Clark: You don't understand.
- Lois: What's not to understand; you were pulling a nine and half weeks in the elevator! I mean it may not get you a membership in the mile-a-high club but hey, you gotta start somewhere.
- Clark: Just calm down!
- Lois: I am calm! I am perfectly calm! [jabbing at Clark's chest] Why wouldn't I be calm? Dial down the ego, Smallville, I don't care what you do with your love life!
- Instinct
- Lois: There is nothing romantic between Lois and Clark.
- Maxima: You have a deep connection to him; I felt it.
- Lois: Then your radar's on the fritz. ‘Cause even on a good day, we're barely friends.
- Maxima: He never would have been able to pull away from me if he wasn't drawn by his attraction to you.
- Lois: Look, he's about as attracted to me as a Red Sox fan to the Yankees.
- Maxima: Oh, you may not know it yet, but believe me there's a bond. And I could see it on your face when you caught us together, you feel it, too.
- Instinct
- Macy: You must really care about her; storming in here. It's very gallant of you.
- Lois: Yeah, he's stupid that way.
- Committed
- Macy: Deep down, underneath it all, do you love this man?
- Clark: Just answer the question, Lois. Don't over think it. Just tell the truth.
- Macy: Do you love him? (Lois begins to shake and breathe sharply)
- Clark: Lois, just tell the truth.
- Macy: Do you love him?
- Lois: [begins to cry] Yes
- Committed
- Lois: I thought, just for minute, that someone needed me.
- Oliver: Oh I'm sure he needs you Lois.
- Lois: That's sweet of you, but how do you know?
- Oliver: Because I know Clark.
- Bride
- Lois: How can someone with x-ray vision be so blind? I've been down the hero road before. And every time, I made a giant u-turn. But this... this was different.
- Clark: And this time, it will be different, Lois. When I do this, no one's gonna remember who I am.
- Lois: And when you hit your reset button... you're not gonna tell me your secret, are you?
- Clark: I'm sorry.
- Lois: That's okay. Why should I think I'm special? Clark... I understand.
- Clark: Lois, you don't understand. It's because you are special.
- Infamous
- Lois: But I do remember seeing a whole new side of Clark Kent.
- Clark: Which side was that?
- Lois: I'll give you a hint. It starts with "H" and ends with "ero."
- Clark: I wasn't even wearing red and blue.
- Lois: Well, you've got a long ways before you can do that.
- Rabid
- (Clark walks in the Daily Planet bullpen, sees Lois reading something, and nervously walks up to her.)
- Clark: Lois?
- Lois: Did you hear? The brilliant brass over at KZXP have decided to go with someone else for their morning show.
- Clark: Lois?
- Lois: After everything that happened, after Ollie and I almost got killed, guess who they've decided to go with?
- (She shows him a promo picture of Catherine Grant as the new correspondent.)
- Lois: Apparently blondes test better with morning viewers.
- Clark: Lois!
- Lois: I'm sorry, I never should have tried out in the first place, or dragged you with me, and I just--
- (Clark grabs her and passionately kisses her. At first, she is surprised, then she is kissing him back.)
- Crossfire
