Wherein it is STRONGLY implied that Lois spent the night at Clark's apartment. How that got past the Comic Code Authority, or the powers that be at DC editorial, I'll never know.

According to many staffers at DC at the time, this was more than an implication - Clark and Lois did have sex. "Beef bourguignon" became more than just Clark's favorite meal; whenever he or Lois would mention it to each other it was their version of "Netflix and chill."

Unfortunately, at the time, the Clark and Lois relationship never really progressed. By 1983, when Lois had been replaced as the love interest in the film Superman lll, DC editorial decided to follow suit and have Lana Lang take her place as Clark's love interest in the comics.
