In "Rabid," the title of the Smallville episode airing Friday, October 9, Clark finally asks out Lois:
"I was hoping that we could grab something to eat tonight. Not that I'm saying that we should go on a date."
And, evil Kryptonian Zod releases a virus that will turn humans zombies. After Lois is infected, the only way Clark can save her is by giving her an antidote made from his own blood!
