Ironically, Chloe's discovery of Clark's powers were the result of a completely outside influence: Alicia Baker. In early 2005, Alicia arranged a demonstration in which Chloe witnessed Clark's superspeed and super strength and instantly realized why her friend was so secretive. Chloe's discovery of Clark's powers served to change her own character as well. She began to regret ferreting out meteor freaks. She learned of Clark's other abilities when he was struck with amnesia. For the rest of the school year, Chloe tried to drop obvious hints that she knew the secret, to get Clark to tell her himself, but it wasn't until they were transported to the Arctic and Clark had to speed to save her from hypothermia that Chloe admitted knowing, thinking he was meteor-infected.
