I think volunteering to help Lana get Chloe medical help was a genuine desire to help Lana,
Yes I was thinking, it was like. At first, Lana asks something, and he agrees just because he can. Same as he often does with Clark, he doesn't *care* at all and he doesnt have any emotional investment, he *enjoys* being the guy that people turn to. Then after Lana leaves, Lex is thinking, 'this could totally work for me, Clark is *way* closer to Chloe than he used to be and *way* further away from Lana. There *has* to be a reason for this. And its then that his motives come in to play, which is why he is a little creepy at the hospital.
I love that he mentions Lana *twice* in that scene. Telling Clark that Lana told him all about and the 'Lana thinks so too' jab. I loved that scene so much. I *love* that Clark didnt say anything, and just *stood there* and I thought he was going to let him do it too and I was so pleased when he didnt, but he didnt shout at Lex or rant and rave he just waited til he was gone and then took her out. And he didnt bother denying it later on either. I loved that.
I'm not counting the previous Clana breakup, they held hands at the funeral and his dad has *just* died, there really isnt an appropriate time to have the 'so are we still together' conversation. It would have been better, I think, if Lana had hesitated before saying 'couple' but she didnt, never mind. And maybe if Clark had *looked* a little suprised when she said it, but whatever. I really did see todays scene as a breakup though, just a resigned 'we are never going to work' thing, and Clark has more important things now, he seems to really be growing into that, scoobying on his own, helping Chlow out and the lessons he learnt in Vengeance. Lana doesnt have *any place* in Clark's life anymore and I *think* he's coming to realise that. Which pleases me as I have great hopes that this means the Rift will be about something that isn't Lana, that its about *Lex* and *Clark* and their rapidly diverging paths and goals.

Okay, sorry I rambled there. My bad.
