When Lana went to Lex so that he would be the first to know, my thought was that Lex is now her Reserve Guy. Clark seems to have been her Reserve Guy (imo) since season 1, waiting there for her when she wasn't with someone else--Whitney, Adam, Jason, random FotWs. Now that she's an adult, it's acceptable for Lex to be that guy. He has also been presenting himself as someone who will be waiting for Lana whenever she decides it's his turn. Lex, it's your turn. Done with the Clana.

I also enjoye Lex's reaction to the kissing 'revelation.' *g* It was definitely, "I know that already."

Really, the writers did let a bit of Clexy stuff get in there--the kissing reaction, the discussion of how hard it is to have a relationship with Clark. I often wish this show was on Showtime.

Great meta!
