Clip shows aren't suppose to mean anything in the grand scheme of a show's run. Since the home video market wasn't a thing in some circles, and sometimes there wasn't enough time to come up with new scripts, the point is rarely do clip shows add something to the story. But this one, reveals not only heart breaking mental illness. I hate these characters as a whole, but what I hate even more is the fact that they could be redeemable and sympatric, if we had consistent writing and pathos.
Lois admits her frustration with her infant son began when she was separated from him for so long while she was still recuperating in the hospital, only to find he was happy when she comes home.
Fist of this did not in earlier episode where Lois and Hal did take Francis home. Plus it doesn't fit in with the future episode, where it's revealed Lois's iron fist behavior started when she set her son's bear on fire.
But this episode reveals something heartbreaking about the character's mental health. She knows her behavior is wrong, inhuman, and disturbing, but she can't help it.
If this series had course corrected hard, this revelation could have been so much more. Lois is a difficult character to sympathize with, due how unlikeable she is towards everyone. But given how terrible her up brining was, and how her family life (which began in a promising way) devolved into undesirable mediocrity, it's not hard to understand why she is the way she is. The part where she admits that her actions are wrong, but she can't help it, made everything that's come before clearer.
The environment we grow up in is ultimately a reflection of who we will become as a person. We shouldn't emulate the behavior of others, especially if the people co-existing with us, are angry bitter and abusive.
Lois was raised by a horrible mother. And we learn later on that the man she thought she was her father, was not her father.
Abuse is ultimately selfishness, it's evil, no matter what form it takes, it's not love, compassion, or beneficial, it's all done for the exaltation of the selfish and vindictive minds who don't care about anyone but themselves, and basically live a life built on and fueled on hatred.
I don't have children, and I may never have kids, but there is one thing I do know about being a parent that you don't need experience to understand, being you can't live for yourself and live for someone who can't even help themselves.
Life rewards those who helps other with a sense of peace and closure. It can't reward us with everything we've always wanted but never got, nor does it give us the things we think we deserve.
Lois is a complex character, whose anger, rage and frustration, has pretty muted her ability to love. That doesn't me she can't love at all. But rather, she is too self-absorbed and more concern with trying to be right, and control the entire world, because she feels like she's been denied something that everyone has but her.
It's wrong to blame your children for your problems. Life is unfair, but that's only when you don't get what you want. Because in the end, you will receive something better and rewarding. And when you finally stop forcing something to be what you want it to be, and instead try to make something good, (basically everything you weren't given), then you will feel a reward and be given a sense a of closure.
Lois doesn't want to be a terrible person, she needs emotional help and closure, but she can't get it, due to her own issues of trust.
It's a sad comedic moment, when even Lois can't realize that her infant son, (who doesn't even know she exists), is happy without her. Any other mother would be relieved knowing that their child was happy and safe regardless. But Lois own warped and self-absorbed point of view has kept her prisoner, and she's too scared to admit she needs help, even though she won't accept help, or let anything be without her say so.
It's a heart breaking scene, to hear someone admit that they can't change for their kid even when their kid needs help.
