"Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to deceive. " This is what I call drama/angst done well by Smallville. Clark is in a hole he dug himself but his intentions were good. If we go back to why the phone conversations started, Clark was trying to do something nice for Lois after the Stiletto incident and it turned out to be something he needed as well. Clark said himself he doesn't have much family left and with his relationships changing (with Chloe in particular) he really began to rely on Lois as the person he could confide in. And Lois in in lock step with him as far as why he doesn't tell people his secret. She understands him. He said it back in season 5 and she's really proving that deep down whether she knows the secret or not she understands him better than anyone. In the end you could feel the pain in what he was losing. Lois' dilemma is so compelling. You have the man she's in love with and the hero she admires. Two halves of a whole. And she's drawn to both. But it's that soulmate thing in these stories where on some level deep down she feels they're the same. She may not know it but she feels it. That's why the image of The Blur was becoming Clark the deeper Maxwell Lord dug into Lois' mind. And she feels like she's not being fair to Clark because she has this connection with someone else. But it is Clark, and in a way it's unfair for him to ask Lois to be okay with just half of him. If they're going to be together eventually something will have to give. Best version of the triangle ever done in live action or even in comics imo. Story arcs are starting to come to a head and culminate into probably the best finale Smallville ever produced. This episode along with the next really set things up for a great ending.
