I like seeing this more personable version of Faora compared to the evil Faora who's in the Phantom Zone. It's nice to see this side of her. I know Chloe continuing to be controlling and secretive, even from Ollie, isn't exactly helping her reputation amongst the audience here, but I'm honestly surprised how quickly many people forgot a crucial event from Pandora. As the audience, we want to side with Clark in appealing to the Kandorians' personal natures and convince them that they can live on Earth without taking it over. The thing is when you really think about it, Chloe's actually kind of right to be skeptical and cautious. In the alternate future Lois went to, what was her and Clark's saving grace? Chloe and Oliver's kryptonite weapons. Is it safe to assume that even if Clark knew about it, their secret stash might not stay so secret? Even her showing it to Oliver caused Tess to find out about it. If it was Clark she was showing it to, the whole thing would've been compromised. Because even if she was able to convince Clark of her reasoning, there's no way he would've prepared for Tess finding out about it. This episode did a pretty good job of showing that just one other person finding out this secret almost exposed it, and she was lucky it was Oliver because if it had been anyone else it almost definitely would've been exposed. Of course it's not fair to assume that all of the Kandorians would want to take over Earth anyway (Vala doesn't seem to), but Chloe knows all too well that she can't just bank on Clark winning over their good sides. It's a valiant effort but it's a pretty smart idea to have a backup plan in case that terrible Kandorian future does come to pass.
