Don't be too sad for Lois. Her feelings are totally requited. Clark basically dragged her into a dance and eye-contacted her into an almost-kiss. Lois didn't kiss him. They kissed each other. IMO, Clark was sending out major vibes, they just weren't the typical type of vibes he usually feels or sends out.
I agree that the Clana was strong in the episode. Wonderfully so. To my mind, Clark seemed a bit angry to be jerked back from the brink of something new with Lois. Almost like Chloe's feeling of a weight lifted. Clark was in uncharted territory with Lois and I loved seeing how it played out for them.
I wasn't icked out by the rose because I feel S8, AM and TW have made it clear that they aren't romantically interested in one another. It also is consistent with how Clark treats the memory of Lana is canon. Clark is probably the only man around who can stay friends with his exes;)
If it can make you feel better, my sense is that Lois didn't misinterpret anything. Clark was febrile and 'needing' her. Plus, major UST. Oliver even says to Lois that if she thought Clark was sending out that vibe he probably was.
Isn't it amazing how little of Season 8 is actually from Clark's POV? Especially compared to previous seasons. There are moments where we get huge reveals, but no long, heart-on-the sleeve scenes like Lois had with Jimmy and Oliver. It makes sense to play him as less emotionally unsure. It is more heroic, more contained. Superman cannot mope, cannot waffle.
Also, it would be slightly obscene for Clark to fall for Lois in the same matter he fell for Lana. None of us want Clana x 2. *god!*
BTW, have you seen the TV Guide online interview with Erica Durance? It might go a long way to making you feel less... how you feel;)
