Yeah, he definitely said "You too, Sullivan", which to me? Was the perfect thing to say to her. After all of Chloe's concerns about losing her own identity, defining herself against Oliver, and figuring out what her next steps are, I think it's totally fitting that she *not* take Ollie's last name.
Chloe *Sullivan* is how she came into the Superman mythos...Chloe *Sullivan* is how she should depart the show and move on into comics lore. These two have a bond so strong, it trandscends antiquated traditions like giving up your name, IMO. They are both heros in their own right, and I think Oliver referring to his wife as "Sullivan" was acknowledgement on his part that he recognizes they are two separate people, with two separate ways of doing their hero-thang, who will always come home to each other in the end.
Also? That kid is so amazingly beautiful...what a fantastic casting job they did.
