Daily Planet. Lois is walking around like a hyperactive chicken. She goes to her desk, sees Clark's nameplate and dodges so she can go the other way. She heads for the elevators. Coming from the other direction, Clark comes to her. "You're not avoiding me, are you?" he asks. Lois says she's just shopping for wedding gifts for Jimmy and Chloe. Clark is pleased that she's finally on board with that. She says it just took them passing a "Madman's electric-Cosmo Death Quiz." Clark gets into the elevator. Lois doesn't follow. "In or out?" he asks. Lois decides to take the stairs. "Statistically, this is the safer way to travel," Clark says. Oh, groan. Yeah, Superman. We get it. Lois goes into the elevator. It's awkward. She says the jeweler confessed. "Five couples?" Clark asks. Lois brings up the test. But she doesn't say anything. "Who'd have thought you were such a good liar?" Clark tries. He says she beat the machine. Lois says it's a Kaiser-era piece of junk. She says that after the first question, she slipped the sensor off her finger. Clark looks surprised. "Pretty crafty, huh?" she says. Clark can't believe it. She says they make a good team, but not to let it go to that big head of Clark's. Clark scoffs. He says he didn't. "Good," she says. "Great," Clark agrees. The elevator opens. Lois gets out. She says they should be glad she was the one under the gun and not Clark. "Why is that?" he asks. She says Clark is a terrible liar. "Who knows where we'd be if you'd answered that question!" she says. She walks away, leaving Clark to really think about that. The elevator doors close on him. More action, please, next time? This episode was boring, man.
Next week: Doomsday! Finally!
