Yes, now that she knows Clark's secret (or the most obvious part of it, anyway), it's hard to see how Chloe can survive much longer.
If this was the old "Superman" series with George Reeves, she wouldn't have survived past the end of that episode (since people who found out that Clark was Superman always fell off of mountains or woke up to find that it was all a dream or got amnesia, or something, within the space of a half-hour episode -- oh, except for the mind-reading burro, but the burro was deemed utterly trustworthy and circumspect, not being human).
Would Clark's guilt over Alicia's death be in any way diminished if he discovered that almost her last act on earth had been to betray the spirit (if not the letter) of her promise to keep his secret, by staging that demonstration for Chloe? Hmmmm. Probably not.
