The latest Mega Buzz scoop on Oliver & Chloe from “TV Guide”:

How will Smallville deal with having less Chloe this season? — Greg D.
ADAM: As we previously reported, Chloe will give herself up in a trade to save Oliver, who was taken in the season finale. That will keep Chloe off-screen and give Oliver lots to do as he searches for her. Or will it? “Hunting [for her] may not really be a good thing He’s got to weigh that decision,” executive producer Brian Peterson tells us. Adds fellow EP Kelly Souders: “Giving up is maybe not quite the way he would look at it, but letting go might be part of his scenario.”
