I wouldn't say he's forgotton about her. I don't think he ever will but Clark closing the book shows that he's moved on. He's no longer living in the past anymore. He is falling in love with Lois and that was evident through out the episode.

His closing the chapter on Lana and it's about time. I'm so happy she's not on the show anymore.Comment

I was surprised they addressed it at all. I was shocked when he smiled at the picture, no sad gaze, then removed it from his wallet and put it in the album and closed it.
And following that moment, Lois walked in, tried to punch him in the arm like she used to do, to try to take them back where they used to be, and he stopped it. He sees both women differently and, mho, this scene captured it really well.
I also thought it was an interesting contrast to Ollie who carries Lois's picture around with him coupled with his confession to Lois in the elevator.
Clark let go of his past, Ollie has yet to do the same.Comment

My belief is the moving the picture from his wallet to the memory album is symbolic of the fact she was a very important part of his past, but the picture to replace the one out his wallet is yet to be put in. It is very ironic that Oliver had Lois pictures in his wallet and it was taken out symbolism that their relationship is of the past as well.

It was basically Lois "just friends" gesture and he stopped her doing it.
I have to be honest, i think TW has had ALOT of say within Clarks direction this season and its paying off.Comment

Clana and Lollie - Pictures
This episode didn't seem as cheesy as I had feared and one of the things I liked best was the imagery the episode used of how Clark and Oliver handled feelings of the women that they had at one time been in love with.
Oliver kept Lois' picture hidden in his wallet, not wanting anyone to see that he still thought about her. He wanted to think about a happy past with her, but almost appeared troubled by it.
Clark had a picture of Lana, and he smiled and placed the photograph in an album (something that is usually shared with visiting friends and family, not hidden.) He set her successfully in his past while still cherishing those memories.
Clark was able to move on without losing Lana’s importance to his past, while Oliver remained haunted by his past with Lois and might only attribute it to another failure.
I can admit that I loved Lollie and I appreciated how both of them seemed to have moved on, but still cared about each other. In that, this season I fear that Oliver would come out looking like he couldn't let go. Right now he is holding on still, but I think he is simply reflecting on happier times, and is so mired in his own downward spiral that he is clinging to them as a life line. Which I have hope will turn out alright in the end, and I think it will.
But for now, I loved that 'versus' imagery. Clark lovingly preserved his past and faced the future in the sunlight of his home, while Oliver burned part of his, and hid the other part away, falling into the future he sets for himself in a dark alley.
What are everyone else's thoughts on this?

well as anyone would know by now from me..i did not like the fact that Oliver still keeps a picture of Lois..let alone has these feelings for her still...which is why I hope he moves on as soon as possible..honestly his pining is one out of two things i didn't like about this episode.Comment

I was shocked. Dignified closure to Clana? That is what they deserved and I actually got to see it!
Not a bitter or wistful Clark. Not a sad or angry Clark. This was a Clark that took a picture of his former love, one he carried everywhere, and put it a scrapbook of past memories. Clark has closed the chapter on Clana and has moved on. Wow.
And they paralleled that to Loiver who can't let go of the past. Neat.
Then you had Clark refusing to let Lois and himself go back to the same old routine.
SV writers are doing symbolism? And making it work?
I can't believe how excellent that moment was.Comment

I agree. There was a definite parallel there. I dunno where in heck this writing has been hiding but this year is MILES above anything we've gotten THIS CONSISTENTLY in a very long time, if ever IMO.
I was surprised too and GOOD CATCH on the symbolism of the arm punch!Comment
