Chloe watches him in disbelief, his words should hurt, but they don't. They don't because what he is saying isn't true. It isn't true and it angers her that he is hurting himself with this blame, when the blame is all hers.
"You're not the reason Jimmy got involved the in the first place, I am! I should have told him to stay away, should have told him to be safe! I should have believed him when he said Davis was a monster! He knew it before all of us and I didn't listen to him! And then I chose to protect Davis, Clark! When you, Oliver, Jimmy, everyone, everyone I should be trusting instead warned me against it!" She's yelling now, her voice is shaky, angry, her words are sharp. She knows all she's saying is true. There is no one to blame but herself.
Now she needs to make Clark understand this.
"I. Killed. Jimmy. I will not let you blame yourself, hurt yourself over this when it's my fault, do you understand? So don't stand there and take the blame, don't shoulder everything like you always do. Do what is right and blame me!"
