I was a little annoyed that Chloe was the one pushing Clark to trust Lana, since it seems out of character for where she stands now vis-a-vis Lana and the Luthors, though I guess it does echo what she kept telling him last season.
Heh. I actually thought this was interestingly selfish on Chloe's part. If Clark just tells Lana, then Chloe no longer has to be trapped between the two of them in terms of her friendships with them. We know that this is an issue for her; it's why she blew up at Clark the way she did in Hydro. She doesn't like being caught between them on this issue and at this point, she herself has grown past that need to be the only one Clark ever confides in. I think Chloe is probably secure enough in her friendship with Clark and cares enough about her friendship with Lana that she's comfortable encouraging Clark to trust Lana about the Secret. I'm not entirely sure it's conscious on Chloe's part, but I do think there's a part of her that probably believes it'll put her in a more comfortable position between Clark and Lana if Lana knows.
