You know, I think you're right about this. I think it wasn't really manipulative until right at the end.
I did really like Lex's sober apology. I thought that was wonderful and so genuine. His enquiry about her relationship with Clark was a little too fast for me, but that's Lex--he's direct. So I don't think it was necessarily manipulative. I guess I'm just finding it painful watching Lex put his foot in it with Lana! He needs to ease off if he's to have any chance with her. A simple apology would have been nicer.
