 While in Paris , Lana begins a new romantic relationship with Jason Teague . Kreuk believes that Lana did love Jason Teague , but she also still loved Clark at the same time . With Clark , it was the " first love " that she never had the chance to discover , and that lingered with her while she was in Paris during the space between seasons three and four . According to Kreuk , before Lana can experience successful relationships with other people she will need to know what it is like to truly be in a relationship with Clark , because of the " intense connection between [ the ] two " . Allison Mack shares her insight into the relationship between Clark and Lana , believing that the pair should have remained apart until they could finally be honest with each other : " There 's no honesty in their relationship , and there 's no way that they could have a healthy relationship without that honesty [ … ] You can 't be with someone if you 're not honest with them . " Kreuk echoes Mack 's sentiments , acknowledging that Lana is not stupid , and if Clark wants a real relationship then he is going to have to be honest with her .
