I think it's easy for viewers to simply think this is just dramatic irony because we already know how the future turns out, but if we actually take Lois' life as it is, her fear of being "left behind" is very real. She knew her dad did care for her and she loved him back, but the fact that he had never put his daughters first before the world brought on a lot of heartaches for both of them while growing up.
Yes. I really liked that they grounded her fears in her backstory, because SV is not always careful like that *Cough* See: the suggestion that Lionel needs Lana's wisdom and protection in this episode *Cough*.
IMO he just had been bottling up his feelings regarding the whole thing, and the moment Lana started tearing into him again, it broke the last straw.
Oh, for sure. And really, intellectually I have sympathy with him in that scene, which is why I was surprised that emotionally I ended up being more on Lana's side--and that's directly because of his comment about loving Lex & Bizarro (even though I basically agreed with most of the rest of the points he made).
