After the party, Oliver's walking down an alley when he sees a "wanted" poster bearing a sketch of his face. They didn't have a photograph of this famous dude? [He held a press conference like, three episodes ago! - Z] Oliver gives the poster a mild look of annoyance. He should probably go into hiding, but he hears a woman screaming for help. He springs into action and finds the damsel in the clutches of some foul miscreant. Oliver yanks the guy off her and she flees to safety. Oliver throws the guy to the ground. The guy gets up and runs for it, Oliver hot on his heels. He tackles the thug to the ground, right in the middle of the suddenly crowded street. "That's Oliver Queen, the outlaw!" someone shouts. Oliver tries to point out that he's not the bad guy, but the actual bad guy claims that Oliver attacked him. Someone punches Oliver and that's all the signal the angry mob needs to join in. In moments, they have him down on the ground, kicking him. Carter and Courtney show up to break up the fight. People start picking up rocks, so Courtney summons her staff and zaps them away from the mob.
LuthorCorp building, night. A VRA SWAT team descends on Oliver's office. That distractingly huge and obvious jar of lemons and limes is still there, just being distracting and huge. That's really all that happens before we cut to...
...Lois and Clark, returning to the Kent farm the next morning. They're carting armloads of presents. Do you really get presents at an engagement party? And then also later at the wedding? I clearly need to rethink my anti-marriage stance. Apparently, the happy couple are just now getting in because they decided to watch the sun come up on the Daily Planet building's roof. That's one way to avoid the street curfew. They reminisce about the party and how nice it was not to have to hide anything from anyone for a while. Lois lets Clark know that she's fine with taking a back seat to his responsibilities as a hero when the need arises, but Clark says they'll handle the responsibilities together. "I promise we will," he says, giving her a smooch. "Then nothing can stop Mr. and Mrs. Kent," Lois says. She heads for the kitchen, thinks about it for a second, and wonders if she should keep her name or hyphenate. Take his alien name! That'll confuse everyone. She digs into some ice cream for breakfast, which earns her a silly look from Clark. "Hey, I signed up for a double life," she defends herself, "you signed up for news with ice cream." This is their clunky segue to Lois turning on the TV and seeing a news report about Oliver's attack on an "innocent man." Lois hands Clark his fugly red leather jacket: "Guess the honeymoon's officially over." You didn't even get married yet. What a dumb thing to say. Clark whooshes off while Lois watches her man with pride.
