[edit] Season Four
When Chloe Sullivan and her father were put in protective custody, Lex Luthor managed to get General Lane in to shield her from the blast when they got into the "safe" house. He and Lois left the country in order to locate his younger daughter Lucy, but it is unclear if their efforts were successful.
[edit] Season Five
General Lane also provided Chloe with covert surveillance equipment to help Clark Kent infiltrate the LuthorCorp building and rescue his family in Mortal.
[edit] Season Six
General Lane continues his duties as a three-star military general. In Prototype, Lois told Clark and Chloe that he liked Wes Keenan. Wes was the only soldier that General Sam ever respected.
[edit] In the Comics
In the comics, the future General Sam Lane will become Secretary of Defense under Lex Luthor, have Clark Kent as a son-in-law, and eventually be killed by a probe in the Imperiex War. While Lois still mourns him deeply, and Lucy after his death even joined the military in a post-mortem attempt to appease his desire of a son to follow in his footsteps, General Sam Lane finally reveals himself alive drafting Lex Luthor in a operation against Superman and the Kryptonians of Kandor.
