[edit] Season Six

"I had a feeling this was coming. Look, Clark, despite our differences, I think you're a decent guy. Chloe obviously thinks you can walk on air, so... who am I to stand in the way?" Jimmy Olsen to Clark Kent. Trespass

Four years later, Jimmy got a photography job at the Planet during Dark Thursday and reunited with Chloe there. After they survive Dark Thursday, Jimmy wanted to reconnect with Chloe, but she was initially reluctant. However, when they are staking out a "good story" at the local make-out point, she agreed to rekindle their relationship, but wanted to take it a little slower this time.

Jimmy went to Chloe´s apartment to take Chloe on a romantic dinner, but his plans are scuppered as Chloe had to look after Javier Ramirez. Jimmy wanted Chloe to move to Metropolis, as he felt Smallville was strange and dangerous, but Chloe told him that she likes living there.

When Jimmy tried to set up Lois with Clark in a Valentine's Day party, Lois infected Clark with red kryptonite. Then Jimmy brought up Clark's irrational behavior and was upset when Chloe defended Clark. He argued that Chloe would probably rather be with Clark if she had the chance and suggested they take a break. Eventually, Jimmy decided to believe Chloe when she told him that she would rather be with him and they made up.

They continued dating, and one night Chloe disappeared after she was identified as being meteor infected. She kept this fact secret from Jimmy, making him believe the kidnapping was because she witnessed a crime. This incident made Jimmy realise how much Chloe meant to him. Aiming to rekindle the romance between them, Jimmy invites Chloe to a private screening that he set up in the empty basement of the Daily Planet, but their romantic moment ended abruptly when they heard a gunshot. Chloe helped Jimmy investigate who shot Lana Luthor at the Daily Planet office. At the end of all this, Jimmy confessed to Chloe that he he accepted an out-of-town assignment, and she was excited for him. Then, Jimmy and Chloe parted on optimistic terms.

[edit] Season Seven

"Wait a sec...is this because of Kara? Because, after all the times that you left me on hold to go run off and help Clark, I hate to think that you're gonna' give me a hard time for helping Kara once!" -Jimmy Olsen, Cure

When Jimmy returned to Smallville, Chloe chose not to tell him about her meteor rock infection because she was worried what Jimmy would think about her new "meteor freak" powers and started to become less open with him. After nearly being frozen to death by a meteor freak, Jimmy declared that he would help Chloe get rid of the meteor freaks but did not notice Chloe's unease at the subject.

After Chloe abruptly canceled an elaborate evening Jimmy had planned in order to secretly undergo a radical treatment, Jimmy was upset and annoyed. Fearing the treatment would cause memory loss, she wrote Jimmy a note asking him to "remind her why they should be together." After she saw Kara and Jimmy spending time together, she threw the note away instead of giving it to him. Jimmy read it anyway and was unsure of its meaning. When Chloe returned without having had the treatment and with her memory intact, Jimmy expressed optimism that from now on, their relationship would only be "normal." Chloe was unable to promise him this and refused to tell him what was bothering her. Frustrated at her persistent lack of explanations, Jimmy admitted that he couldn't be the patient boyfriend anymore and they broke up.

Chloe still keen to remain friends, but Jimmy was more interested in pursuing his relationship with Kara. Their subsequent relationship remained awkward and at Christmas they bumped into each other at the elevator. Jimmy was keen to avoid any awkwardness and went to take the stairs but Chloe encouraged him to get in. However, they then became stuck in the elevator with a bomb. Thinking they were about to die, Chloe confessed that she pulled away from him because of her meteor infection. Relieved that she had finally shared her secret, Jimmy kissed her. After they were rescued, Chloe displayed her power and Jimmy hugged her and said it didn't change how he felt about her. They were then slowly able to build bridges in their relationship, starting with a close friendship. But when Jimmy realised that his relationship with Kara was fizzling out, he asked Chloe if she wanted to go get a cup of coffee, to which she agreed.

Jimmy continued to put a lot of effort into their relationship weeks later, but Jimmy continued to display the same insecurities and was upset that Chloe seemingly blew him off. An agent of the Department of Domestic Security convinced Jimmy that Chloe was part of a terrorist sleeper cell and forced him to spy on Chloe. The two attended to the Ace of Clubs opening and ended up fighting Department of Domestic Security personal with Chloe being tortured by Special Agent Vanessa Webber. He rescued Chloe and took her home and demanded the truth. Thinking they are about to get arrested anyway, Chloe challenged him to ask her whatever he wanted. He asked her if she wants him more than she wants Clark. Chloe didn't answer, but kissed him back. Jimmy was pleased and admitted that the government won't be coming after either of them. Unbeknownst to Chloe, it was actually Lex that prevented her from being arrested and continued to blackmail Jimmy with Chloe's freedom.

After recovering from a Brainiac-induced coma, Jimmy realized how much Chloe meant to him and decided to propose in the Talon with a plastic wedding ring. Before Chloe could answer, she was suddenly arrested for terrorism by the DDS.

[edit] Season Eight

"And what I've lost... I've lost so much, the only thing I really miss is you" Chloe Sullivan to Jimmy Olsen, Doomsday

A month later, Chloe returned to Smallville and Jimmy found her at the Talon. He tried to retract his proposal saying it might risk what they have between them, but she accepted his proposal after all. Jimmy moved into Chloe's apartment and found Chloe's letter to Clark that she wrote when he was sick and became angry about it and wondered why she had never said those things to him. Jimmy tried to see another woman to make Chloe jealous, and collapsed from an endorphin overload. At the hospital, Chloe convinced Jimmy that he is the one she loves.

Chloe and Jimmy have a party to celebrate their engagement and after they leave, are abducted by a psychotic jeweler that subjected them to a lie detector. He began asking questions about Jimmy's infidelity and finally asked if Chloe was in love with anyone else. When Jimmy told her not to answer, the abductor shocked him and repeated the question, to which she replied "no". The lie detector proved she was telling the truth so they were released. When they wake up in their bed, Chloe says she couldn't have survived with anyone else across from her. This made him realize that they cannot have secrets between them so he revealed a secret about his family. Chloe hugs him.

Brainiac began removing Chloe's memories, and she forgot her fiancé. Jimmy showed her photographs of them as a couple to try to help her recognize him. Jimmy found this very traumatic, but with the help of Clark, Chloe recovered and excitedly continued to plan her upcoming wedding.

In late 2008, Chloe and Jimmy were married, but the reception was interrupted by Davis, who had transformed into Doomsday, who was clearly influenced by Davis' growing feelings for Chloe. Doomsday killed numerous people and seriously injured Jimmy, who was later sent to a hospital in Star City. Chloe traveled back and forth between Smallville and Star City to care for Jimmy. He recovered five weeks later and was transferred to Metropolis.

He and Chloe reunited and seemed happy, but one night Jimmy awoke to find Davis killing a man in the hospital elevator. He tried to expose Davis, but Chloe didn't believe him as she thought it was a drug-induced hallucination. This angered Jimmy and despite Chloe later trying to express that she loved Jimmy with all her heart, he had an angry outburst and admitted that he felt that marrying her was a terrible mistake on his part due to the lack of trust she had in him. He left Chloe heartbroken and alone.

They finally reconciled after Jimmy discovered Clark's secret and understood why Chloe had been with Davis. However, as Davis overheard this discussion he went into a murderous rage and killed Jimmy. Before he died, Jimmy saved Chloe from Davis and then passed away in Chloe's arms.

Chloe: Thanks, Jimmy but I can't exactly run out to Smallville for frozen sweet corn. I've got stories I've got to file.

Jimmy: What's gotten into you? Chloe, someone set this girl's dial to deep-freeze. This has "meteor freak" written all over it. It's exactly the kind of story that your new editor ordered.
