I adored Lois playing the part of the damsel in distress on the phone -- it's a role that fits her poorly and I'm pleased that the show recognizes that.
This is such a good observation. Even her delivery of the "lines" was kind of awkward and stilted in a way that was clearly deliberate (on the actor's/director's part), as if Lois doesn't even know how to "play" the role of DiD. I was like, "Lois, boo. That is so not convincing!" It was a really nice touch to underscore the idea that Lois isn't a DiD. She gets herself into trouble plenty, but she can handle herself despite that fact.
