Clark was right to refuse and Chloe was human to ask.
THIS. SO MUCH THIS. I was trying to explain because I know a lot of people were like WTF Jimmy sucks, why would she ask that of him. But I felt like is was so INCharacter of her. You can see here a huge glimpse of how destroyed she is, the fact that she would even mention it to Clark shows that she has some equally giant guilt issues.
Also, I feel like while Lois's disappearance was tough for her, her coming back and telling Chloe she speaks to the Blur was a bigger blow. I didn't think they could kick her down anymore but ALAS! It... just, Lana never replaced Chloe, sure she was always beating Chloe in the battle for Clark's love but she could never, ever take her place in the BFF department and Lana knew that. The fact that Chloe's not even his "sidekick" anymore is possibly the worst thing ever. Now, not only has the job she ever wanted slipped from grasp, but the role she ever knew is gone too.
Spoilers about Chloe becoming all "ends justify the means" is believable. She's literally got nothing left.
