I prefer Lois in the river to Lois out the window for a couple of reasons: It gives her character arc time to build, and she isn't publicly humiliated. Also, Clark's heroics don't take place in front of a crowd. There might be a way to keep her drawing glasses on the picture at the beginning-- let's say she keeps her hunch to herself until they're away from the Planet offices.
