The thing is, Lana already took over the how back around early or mid season 2...her narrative has often taken prerogative over that of Clark and Lex(as a unit or individually) since then. They've long since passed the "bittersweet first love" thing with her and Clark...at this point...the only way Lois won't be Clark's fallback is if Lana seriously goes evil and betrays him, and that's not how it's supposed to be. Even if you've never read a Superman comic, you know Lois is supposed to be the love of his life. Similarly, Lex Luthor isn't supposed to care one whit about Lana, but he is supposed to, at least for a time, be fixated on Lois.
The funny thing about Lionel/Martha is that I don't remotely ship them, but I get bouncy over their scenes...I think it's because I like the "hopelessly corrupt man drawn to a good woman he can never have" thing...
