Dr. Groll bails and gives the box to Lana, saying he doesn't want to fuck with it anymore, and Lana decides to draw the line in the sand and makes Lex choose between his obsession with the box and her. The box is destroyed before Lex has to choose but he assures her that he would have chosen her over it. Lana starts having fainting spells and the doctor confirms that she's pregnant. She tells Chloe before telling Lex or Clark. When Lex gets trapped on a separate frequency by a meteor freak, Lana confesses that she's pregnant and wants him to be there to raise it with her and when he returns, he proposes. Lana tells him she isn't sure and then later confides in Chloe that it's because she still has lingering feelings for Clark. Her lingering feelings wind up on the front page and Lana blames Chloe, betrayed and hurt. When it turns out to be Linda Lake, Lana apologizes to Chloe for suspecting her. She goes to speak with Clark who wants to talk to her in regards to her feelings, and Lana tries to push him to tell her his secret. When he doesn't, she decides to accept Lex's proposal. Lana asks Chloe to be her maid of honor, and she accepts.
Lex and Lana throw an engagement party that's more like a formal dinner than anything. Clark and Lois show up on red kryptonite and ruin everything, including Clark outing Lana's pregnancy to the whole room when she'd been keeping it a secret because she didn't want people to assume it was why she was marrying Lex. Clark kidnaps Lana to his loft and tries to force himself on her, bullying her into admitting that she still has feelings for him. Lex comes to save Lana and stabs Clark with a chisel, which of course gets jacked up instead of jacking Clark up. She kept the chisel in her vanity after Martha came to stop Clark, hiding it from Lex. Lana gets stalked by one of Lex's security guards and nearly killed, but thanks to Clark is saved -- though she doesn't know it's Clark. She has her bachelorette party as a girl's night with Chloe in a bowling alley, which leads to how they meet Tobias Rice -- a meteorfreak who can detect other meteorfreaks. Lex lies to Lana when asked and says he doesn't know who Tobias is, even though he works for a secret LuthorCorp division. Lana confronts Tobias and tells him that she knows Clark is a metahuman, but that he can't tell anyone. Tobias tells Lana that Clark registered normal on his freakdar. Lana tells Lex that if there were a secret division, 33.1, that were harnessing metahumans and studying them and keeping them contained, she'd understand why. Lex all but confirms its existence once he knows she's on his side.
On the day of her wedding, Lana sets up a horrible messed up Luthor-esque scenario to force Clark out into the open at least in front of her. She locks Chloe in the wine cellar and hides behind some racks of wine bottles while Clark busts in to let her out, displaying pretty much all of his abilities at once. Lana calls Clark to the mansion to tell him to meet her later at the same time as the wedding in his loft, and then proceeds to write a letter to Lex about how she intends to leave him because she still loves Clark. Lionel, however, blackmails her. He tells her that he knows Clark's secret and his weakness and if she leaves his son, he'll kill Clark. Lana goes through with the wedding to protect Clark, though they cancel their honeymoon. A week after the wedding, Lana "miscarries" the child. In a state of mourning and depression she becomes determined to find out what she did wrong in her pregnancy to cause the miscarriage. After further tests and extensive, dragged out emotional torture, Lana learns she was never pregnant. The doctor accuses her of faking it to get a billionaire like Lex to marry her, but Lana knows the truth. She puts together that Lex had been injecting her with hormones to make her believe she was pregnant and give her a reason to want to stay with him.
