Not Miss Rose, but here goes. The something that grabbed Chloe was Doomsday, aka Davis Bloom, who is secretly a Kryptonian bioweapon created by Zod to kill Kal-El. He non-fatally ripped the living crud out of Jimmy at the wedding, and Jimmy spent the last six episodes in a hospital that is neither in Smallville nor in Metropolis, missing out on the Legion of Superheroes, Ollie's takeover of Luthorcorp (backed by Tess), and Lana's 4 ep "How I Became a Superhero" arc (season was going fairly well, I thought, until it went back to being Lanaville for the middle fifth). And while Tess Mercer, who may be Lex after a brain transplant, was faking a plane crash to try to get Clark to admit to being The Red-Blue Blur (and I never thought "Superman" would sound like a sensible thing to call yourself until they started calling Clark TRBB), Jimmy was having pain (med) management issues which led to nobody, not even Chloe, believing him when he said he saw Davis kill a guy (which Davis totally did because he's killing "evildoers" to try to keep control of his rampagey urges just like the priest told him-WTF?).
Basically, if you're confused, at least you have the excuse of having missed a bunch of episodes. :)
Chloe's averageish when she's not possessed by Brainiac, which she isn't anymore. Well, above averageish--she has a healing power, which just about kills her to use. But she grew up with Clark, and she's been his info-gal since the start, and she's known his secret since S3. And she's been hanging with the SV JLA since they got their start (or before with Impulse), so going full time as Watchtower was sort of in the cards ever since Green Arrow got the team all organized. :)
Jimmy's kind of strung out on morphine and Davis's Gaslight plot, and the way he was looking at those pills, he's not likely to be big on rational thought for the foreseeable future.

I don't actually watch Smallville, just the last five or ten minutes before Supernatural comes on.
But i had the impression that Chloe was just your average chick, so her being all superhero-y-adjacent was confusing me.
As was Jimmy hating on her, as they seemed awfully snuggley before.
