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.
Good point--Clark's getting a lot savvier in his dealings with Lex, which is a good thing, I think.
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 read Clark's total nonreaction to the "couple" comment as a sign that they've had some sort of offscreen conversation in which they are not officially broken up. Or something. Because otherwise I think he would have said something then.
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.
I think it's still too much to hope that Lana's not going to have any role in the rift, though. They are actually doing a good job of showing CLark and Lex moving in different directions--last night was a painful indicator of that, I thought--but even though Clark is going to have to eventually acknowledge he can't have Lana, he's not very good at letting people go. And now that he thinks Lex is dangerous, he's *really* not going to be happy with the Lexana.
