I would burn my press pass if I thought it came between us.

No, you wouldn't. It's too much of who you are.  And right now, I need it.

Chloe, Pete, and Clark walk out from their test on Greek myths, and Chloe explains the dynamics of Heracles' birth and family dynamics; Chloe warns that "hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."  Shortly there after, Clark meets Rachael Dunleavy, a woman claiming to be his mother.  He points out to his parents that he knows from Chloe's past looking (in Zero) that he was the only child placed through Metropolis United Charities. 

The next day, Clark reads Chloe's email and accused her of continuing to dig into his adoption; she clarifies that she posted a few notes about the charities - not him - looking for hits.  Clark gets angry and says he's not offering her an "exclusive on [his] life" and telling her if she's  so interested in finding mothers to find her own.  Chloe says that she knows where her mother is and that her mother isn't interested in her.  Before Clark storms out, she tells him that Lionel Luthor funded the adoption agency that he was adopted through.

Lana approaches her to help with finding information on Henry Small; Chloe calls her a friend and admits that she has a "massive" blow out with Clark about "his secrets, privacy, [her] pathological inability to curb her curiosity." When Lana explains that Henry might be her father and her want to dig up information on him, Chloe tells her that she's "flattered" that someone trusts her.    She mentions that she can pull up his college transcripts, his auto insurance, and even his dental files but it won't tell them what kind of person Henry is - that only meeting him in person would.

Clark hunts down Chloe the next day, apologizing; Chloe says she'd burn her press pass if she thought it would come between them.   He disagrees saying that it "is too much of who [she is]" and that he needs it.  He apologizes again and she shrugs it off claiming that everyone has "family secrets."  She explains how her mom just up-and-left when she was five and admits that it's hard to think that "[she wasn't] good enough for someone to love."  Clark refutes that as the search of housing in Smallville had no match for Rachael.   Clark suggests trying 'Lucas Luthor' which Chloe tells him he'll have to explain later; they get a hit and Clark runs off and leaves her alone yet again.
