Chloe's working at the Torch when Clark comes back to apologize for the way he acted the past summer, claiming that she has "no reason to stand by [him]." Chloe claims that is what a friend does and turns the topic to him mending bridges with Lana. He says it's for the best and Chloe gets that Clark probably isn't going to stay. She tells him that some times "you have to stop and face your demons." The song in this scene in "Maybe Tomorrow" by Stereophonic.
Chloe approaches Lana the next day to apologize, again. She says she was wrong, but that Clark wasn't himself in Metropolis and as wrong as it was it felt good to be "the one he confided in again." Lana says that Clark was always more comfortable with her, but Chloe admits that is because Clark isn't in love with her.
