Yeah, it bothered me that her ending feel a bit tacked-on. I'd expected more than just the one one quick reference to Chloe deciding on being a reporter in Star City. Seeing as it was something that many of her fans had been waiting for since Chloe first lost her job at the end of season 7, I was disappointed that the line was almost throw-away and we didn't get more of Chloe talking more of those future plans, with a more celebratory feel perhaps (like Clark being pleased she's getting back into reporting and saying it's how he's always seen her as a reporter at heart, something like that?)
In terms of the relationships I had no problem with how they handled her final scenes with Clark and Ollie though, so the blink and you'll miss it reference to her future plans was the only part that bugged. Chloe talking about planning to inspire heroes as she once did Clark was kind of eh to me because it seemed like it was mostly there so they could have the shout-outs for the comic book fans tbh. I mean it was fine, but the reporting was what I really care about for Chloe, and so that reference was not what I'd hoped for after all these years of waiting for Chloe to get back into journalism. I would have liked the show to spend a few scenes on her departure, instead of the way they did it in a big group episode with Chloe slipping off quietly at the end
