KARA: When I was a child,
my planet Krypton was dying.

I was sent to Earth to protect my cousin.

But my pod got knocked off-course

and by the time I got here,

my cousin had already grown up
and become Superman.

I hid who I really was until one day,

when an accident forced me
to reveal myself to the world.

To most people, I'm a reporter
at CatCo Worldwide Media.

But in secret, I work with
my adoptive sister for the DEO

to protect my city from alien life

and anyone else
that means to cause it harm.

I am Supergirl.

Previously on Supergirl...

We salvaged you
and resurrected you.

And who are you?

I am a member of an organization
called Cadmus.

Thanks for stopping by, Mom.

- And I called the police.
- (SIRENS WAILING)

I'm not so sure we're a good match.

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, no.

I'm just glad
we're on the same page, you know.

Okay, good.

Checkmate.

Very good.

Now let's see how you defend
against the Alekhine Variation.

Lionel?

Keep setting up.

I thought
we had discussed this.

We did.
And this is what we're doing.

Lena.

This is your new mother.

I'm Lex.

I'm going to be your new brother.

Wanna play?

Thank you.

I think having a sister
will be good for Lex.

The trial of Lillian Luthor
continued today.

Luthor, the suspected head of the
anti-alien terrorist organization, Cadmus,

has been charged
with a host of crimes,

including the use
of a bio-weapon

in an attempted extermination
of all aliens in National City.

That woman is bad news.

NEWSCASTER: Luthor claims
that she is a victim...

I hope once she's
convicted, they...

They put her out on the town square
for public shaming.

On Daxam, it really
seemed to cut back on recidivism.

Well, that kind of punishment
actually went away

a long time ago.

That's too bad.

Yeah, I haven't seen you in a while.

I've... I've been busy.

- Yeah?
- Just chasing bad guys. (CHUCKLES)

Uh, how are you?

- How's Eve?
- Oh, great.

Great, we are...
We're great. Eve is great.

- Things are great.
- I'm so happy for you.

- More drinks for you guys?
- Yeah, please, I would... We would love...

Yup. Um, yup.

Another round's on its way.

- You okay, J'onn?
- Yeah, yeah.

It's just the first time
I've been in this bar since...

M'gann left.

Hey, I'm... I am very excited to
meet Alex's new mystery man.

Hey, do we know
what he does for a living?

Alex's guy?

Cop.

- Oh!
- Yeah, no way Alex Danvers

dates someone
who doesn't own a firearm.

Hey, you guys.

You all remember Maggie, right?

Hey, yeah.
Good to see you again.

Alex! (CHUCKLES) I... I didn't know.

- Did you know?
- Of course I knew, I'm psychic.

How come you
never said anything before?

It's not for me to say.

Good for you, Alex.

Yeah.

- Drinks up!
- Hey.

Here we go, bubbly club soda for the lady.

Thank you.

And for you, sir. All right.

- Hi.
- Hey, hi.

- What's up?
- Um, well, I just wanted to let you know

that Maggie and I are dating.

Oh, that was the thing. Okay.

Okay, that's...

Is that like a problem
here on Earth or...

Well, on Earth, you know, not everybody
supports ladies loving ladies.

Oh, on Daxam
it's the more the merrier.

Okay.

- Drinks for you guys? Awesome.
- Yeah.

Hey, do you play pool?

- Yeah.
- No, you don't.

- What?
- It is geometry with sticks, folks.

Pool is easy.

Let's go do it.

JAMES: Alex.
ALEX: Yeah?

Congrats.

- Thank you.
- Yeah.

Alex, my money's on your girl.

- Yes, thanks, me too.
- (JAMES CLEARS THROAT)

Hey, that cop doesn't know
I'm the Guardian, right?

No.

Lucky her.

NEWSCASTER: Testifying today
against Luthor is her adopted daughter...

KARA: Oh, what an awful thing
to have to do.

Well, the Luthors have never shied
away from doing awful things.

Yeah, but she's not like them.

She knows Lillian is evil,

she's doing the right thing,

even though she still
loves her mother.

What she did was brave.

If you say so.

I should go see her.
She could probably use a friend.

Using her friends,
that's exactly what I'm worried about.

Whoa!

- (GLASS SHATTERS)
- Whoa, buddy, come on.

Sorry!

NEWSCASTER ON TV:
Lillian Luthor's defense attorneys

tried to downplay
Lena Luthor's testimony,

characterizing her statements as

"the angry rant
of an estranged daughter."

Everyone in National City
has got an opinion about me.

Ungrateful daughter,

heroine, bitch.

- Ugh.
- And they've all called for a quote.

Not you though, Snapper Carr hasn't
sent you here to shake me down.

No, no. I'm here as a friend.

I thought you could use some
fried sugary goodness in your life.

You eat donuts, right?

Um, well...

- I am human.
- (LAUGHS)

Thank you, Kara.

So, was it awful?

It actually
felt good to testify.

I got to say my piece and finally distance
myself from the Luthor name.

And then I came back here
to 12 calls from her lawyers.

Yeah, she wants to see me.

What do you think she wants?

Probably to tell me
that my outfit in court was horrible

and that I need a makeover.

I don't know and I don't care.

I just thought
I was done with her, you know.

I'd finally shut the door
on being a Luthor.

And then there she was,
back on my phone sheet.

Twelve times.

You don't think I should feel guilty for
not wanting to go see that monster, right?

Well, do you think
you would find peace of mind

by visiting her
and telling her how you really feel?

Even if I did,
it wouldn't make a difference.

You know.

She's been the same way
since the day I met her.

I've spent most of my life wishing I could
talk to people that are no longer here.

She's still here.

And she's still your mom.

Yeah.

(LOCK UNLOCKING)

You really did
a number on me in court.

Measured, succinct, believable.

The jury ate it up.

I can just call
the guard back and go.

No.

I'm sorry.

I promised myself
I would be better.

Please sit.

Old habits die hard.

I don't want to fight.

I asked you here because I wanted to
let you know that I forgive you.

That I still love you.

The only time you ever tell me you love me
is when you need something from me.

I know I wasn't
the greatest mother,

but I did
the best that I could.

By making me feel unwanted.

- Like an outsider.
- You don't want to believe it,

but I always tried
to protect you.

If Dad could hear you now.

After all the things
you've done and justified.

You hold Lionel up
as some saint, but he's not.

Don't disparage him.
He was a good man.

If he was a good man,
he would've told you the truth.

But he hated me
too much to do that.

Told me the truth about what?

When your father
and I first got together,

it was the happiest time
of my life.

But after Lex was born,

Lionel started having

an affair.

I was clueless,

until I went to surprise him
on a business trip,

only to find that he was
with your mother.

My mother?

She was already pregnant
with you by then.

They paid her off.

Your father came back
to try and rebuild our marriage.

Then when you were four,

we heard your mother
had died.

The state was going
to put you in foster care.

Your father brought you home
and we adopted you.

But he didn't like me
spending time with you.

I think it made him
remember what he'd done.

He felt guilty.

He'd lash out.

So, I stayed away.

Gravitated to Lex.

To protect myself.

And you.

But seeing you with him...

You look so much like her.

It was like ripping
a Band-Aid off every day of my life.

So, I really am a Luthor.

We're the only two
Luthors left.

And we need
to be there for each other.

(CHAIN RATTLING)

I want a second chance with you.

(EXHALES)

Please, honey.

Mail call, Mr. Corben.

Not interested.

Mr. Corben, will you tell the
court how you know Lillian Luthor?

She's the doctor
who saved my life.

WEBB: By turning you
into a weaponized cyborg?

LILLIAN'S ATTORNEY: Objection.

Calls for speculation.

Objection is sustained.

WEBB: Okay, we'll move on.

After Lillian Luthor
saved you,

did she order you
to work for Cadmus?

She didn't have to
order me to do anything.

I believe aliens should be
wiped from the Earth.

Starting with Supergirl and her cousin.

(WHISPERS) I hate him.

(SOFTLY) He literally has no heart.

And what, if anything, did Lillian Luthor
tell you about the Medusa Project?

Earth is in crisis.

Aliens threaten
our safety and way of life,

bringing violence and disease.

She wanted to save the human race.

- That's enough, thank you.
- It is not enough!

Lillian Luthor is not a criminal.

She wanted to save you.
Until Supergirl silenced her.

This trial is a conspiracy to condemn the
one person who wants to save your lives.

Your children's lives!

- JUDGE: Order.
- (GAVEL BANGING)

Settle down.
We must have order in the courtroom.

Counselor.

Get control over your witness.

Mr. Corben has become antagonistic

and clearly is not willing to
answer the questions as directed.

Permission to treat
the witness as hostile, Your Honor.

Allow me to treat you as hostile.

(PEOPLE SCREAMING)

MAN: Don't move. Don't move.

Stop.

Go.

The job's not done yet, Luthor.

You're right. You're still alive.

But not for long.

You can stop me,
or you can save them.

(CREAKING)

Make your choice, Supergirl.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

I flew over the whole city twice,
they're gone.

Lillian and Metallo have disappeared.

I should've stopped them.

What... Hey.
You saved everyone.

- That was the right choice.
- (PHONE RINGING)

Sawyer.

Look, we're gonna find Metallo

and we're gonna get him
back into custody.

I know, I know. It's just...

I can't figure out

where he got all that Kryptonite.

Clark was supposed
to have taken all of it.

What's wrong?

I had the jail check
all of Corben's visitors

to see how the Kryptonite
might have gotten smuggled in.

But he hasn't had any visitors
since he's been there.

And when they swept his cell yesterday
there was nothing out of the ordinary.

Which means he must have
gotten the Kryptonite last night.

That seems
to narrow down the window.

Why do you look
so concerned?

Because there was
only one visitor to the jail last night,

but it was to visit Lillian Luthor.

Who?

Her daughter, Lena.

You know I was at the jail
to see my mother last night.

- You're the one that told me to go.
- I know.

It's just...

People are losing it
because of your mother's escape.

And I wanted you to know
so that you could be prepared.

Okay, so...

Tell me.
What are people saying?

That you may have
also visited Metallo.

And you think that's
something I would do.

I...

You know, Kara, you are
starting to sound a lot like a reporter

and not a friend right now.

I don't mean to.

- Maggie, did you find Lillian?
- No, we didn't.

We're actually here
on official business, Kara.

I think it would be better if you waited
outside while I talked with Ms. Luthor.

LENA: No.

I want her to stay.

If it's okay.

The police were sent some surveillance
footage I wanted to ask you about.

That's not me, okay?
I don't know where you got that,

- but it's not me.
- You're under arrest

for aiding
and abetting a felon,

accessory after the fact, conspiracy...

Hold on, Maggie, slow down,
just let her explain.

Stay out of it, Kara.

- LENA: It's okay.
- You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be
used against you in a court of law.

You have
the right to an attorney.

If you can't afford one,
one will be provided for you.

Where's my art?

What's going on?

JAMES: We're crashing the cover.

But our pub date's today.

The cover's set.

Yeah, that's
why they call it a crash.

SNAPPER: We're the fourth estate,
not Reddit.

Copy can't wait
another second.

Yeah, yeah.

I sent it down to layouts already.
This is for you.

Wait, you're putting
Lena Luthor on the cover?

She doesn't need
to be a front-page story.

She's arguably the most famous
name in National City, Danvers.

Her notorious brother's
in prison.

Of course I'm putting her
on the cover, she's a Luthor.

But she didn't do it.

Have you seen the video?

Or are you letting a budding
friendship corrupt your reporting?

Who's got
confirmation bias now?

She told me, on the record,
she didn't do it.

She said, she said.

This time we need
more than just a quote.

Otherwise, it's just another
conspiracy theory for Twitter.

Well, I'll keep digging then.

Your gumption
annoys me to no end.

But keep gumptioning
for tomorrow's cover.

Tomorrow?

But that'll be too late.

By then everyone will
think she's guilty already.

Everyone will think
she's guilty today.

- Tomorrow's another story.
- But once it's out there, it's out there.

I mean, people still think
Macaulay Culkin's dead.

(SIGHS)

James, come on,
you know we can't print this.

(EXHALES)

I can't believe I'm saying this,
but I agree with Snapper.

And I think you should, too.

Kara.

- Kara, come on, wait.
- (EXHALES)

No, no, are you kidding me?

The only thing
Lena has done is help.

She called the police
on her own mother over the Medusa virus.

That's exactly my point.

If she can betray
her own mother,

what is to stop her
from pulling a long con on you?

Okay, I know she's your friend,
Kara, but Lena's bad news.

Why, because she's a Luthor?

No, because she's guilty.

And if you don't see that,
I'm gonna prove it to you.

(SIGHS)

Seven...

- Oh!
- Oh, gosh!

Oh, Eve, I'm so sorry.

- EVE: I'm sorry, no.
- I got it, I got it.

Thanks, Kara
It's just so busy here today.

With the trial
and the daughter.

Yeah.

Oh, hey! Are you okay?

You look like me the day I forgot to get
Ms. Grant's coffee and she made me call

the Dean of Yale to admonish him for
having given me a diploma.

- (CHUCKLES)
- Sad.

- And disheartened.
- No, I'm fine, it's just...

It's just James and...

Lena Luthor and...

It's fine. Hey!

Hey, how's
everything going with Mon...

Um, with Mike?

Actually, it's not going.

I thought you two were going out.

You mean, went out.

Uh, he's so dreamy
and handsome and funny,

so you can imagine
how shocked I was

when it turned out to be
the worst date of my life.

What did he do? Did he look at
other women the entire night?

No.

Oh, did he chew with his mouth open
and tell those inappropriate jokes?

No, all he did was talk
about you the entire date.

(SNICKERS)

So he talked about me?

I told him, I said you
have to get over your ex-girlfriend

before you put yourself
back out in the field.

Ex-girlfriend? (LAUGHS)
No, no, no, no.

Eve, Mike and I never dated.

Mmm-hmm.

Mike told me the same thing.

(DOOR OPENING)

The prodigal daughter.

You think she'll lose her hair
like her brother?

(LAUGHS)

How'd you get in?

GUARDIAN: If Lena was bad,

I knew it was only a matter of time
before you showed up to free her.

I do work for the Luthors,
after all.

(GRUNTS)

(BOTH GRUNT)

Hello, Ms. Luthor.

Sorry for the delay.

Metallo's strong,
but something's off.

His Kryptonite isn't right.

I think it's hurting him.

Well, you're lucky you
didn't take a direct hit.

Very lucky.

I had my shield.

I love that shield.

And I know what I'm doing, Kara.

Even if Metallo's weakening, though,

he still is a fanatic follower
of Lillian Luthor.

We have to find out where
he's taken Lena, and help her.

What is it going to take for you to
realize that Lena is a criminal?

She's not the victim.
She got the Kryptonite.

- He broke her out of prison.
- Lena's not a member of Cadmus!

She's not!

She stopped the gang
with alien weapons.

She saved Alex's life
when Corben tried to kill her.

She shot Corben and then her
crazy mom turned Corben into Metallo.

So, that could have been
the plan the entire time.

We have to start treating
Lena Luthor like a hostile.

The evidence
is too overwhelming.

(SIGHS)

Winn?

If you watch that video,
I know you'll find something.

I did.
It's... It's clean.

Then find something
to prove her innocent.

Everything we've seen so far
says the exact opposite.

Well, she's my friend.

And I believe in her.

I'm your friend.

Which is why I don't understand why
it's so hard for you to believe me.

People don't
remember this, Kara,

but Clark and Lex Luthor
used to be best friends.

For years.

And Clark believed
in Lex for the longest time.

No matter what people said, no matter what
kind of proof he saw with his own eyes.

No, Lex was his friend.

- But Clark was wrong.
- Lena is not Lex.

But they grew up
in the same house, Kara.

I don't understand
why you keep defending her.

And you have so much faith in
her, but none in me, as Guardian.

That's entirely different.

I am trying to protect you.

I do not need your protection.

I need your trust.

You have mine.

I don't understand why it's
so hard for me to get yours.

(SCOFFS)

(KARA GRUNTS)

(CONTINUES GRUNTING)

That was good.

Is there a technique
to that or were you just

giving it a swift kick
in the caboose?

Because if there's
a technique, I wanna know it.

(CHUCKLES) I've missed
training with you.

- Yeah, I've just been...
- Busy.

I get it.

Chasing bad guys.

And with what's
going on with Lena I'm sure it's...

I'm sure it's extra busy.

Are you going to tell me
not to believe in her?

You believe
in a lot of people that others don't.

Oh, did you talk to James?

No, I'm actually talking
about myself.

You know, you believing in me,
it meant a lot.

You're right.
I have been cold.

- And distant.
- Mmm-hmm.

And I'd like
to apologize for that.

Hey, I'm just glad to know that it's not
me adjusting to Earth's chilly climate.

I was mad at you
because I thought you were dating Eve.

(EXHALES)

Ah.

"Were," as in past tense.

Right? As in, she told you that the
date didn't actually go well.

Yeah, she mentioned it.

Yeah.

You know,
I'm not super hip on earthly social cues,

but why would you be mad
if I was dating Eve?

(SCOFFS) I'm not mad.

You literally just said you were mad.

- No.
- Two seconds ago,

you said, "I am mad about..."

Yeah, I'm surprised.

- Oh, not mad, surprised.
- I'm surprised that

you'd just date someone else,

when you were serious about me,
because I mean if...

How could you
be serious if you did that?

If you don't like me,
why do you... Why do you care?

I'm gonna go check
and see if they've found Lena.

(KARA CLEARS THROAT)

- Are you okay?
- Don't.

You're still angry
I had Metallo liberate you from that jail?

It makes me look
more guilty when I'm not.

Even if they found out
the truth about you,

no one would
change their mind.

(CHUCKLES)

The public wants to believe the
narrative they expect from us.

That Luthors are evil.

We don't get second chances.

Look what they did to me.

Stripped me
of my medical license

without even a hearing.

Or worse, what they did to Lex.

He could've fixed
this planet for generations.

But Superman twisted what he was
doing, and they all turned on him.

Lex went insane.

Exactly.

And if they could take
the brightest mind on Earth

and drive him
crazy defending himself,

imagine what they
could do to you.

Stop the van. I'm going back!

To what?

You have no life anymore, Lena.

You have no one on your side.

You're guilty, just like me.

You're on the run, just like me.

Join Cadmus.

And together we can do all the great
things you ever dreamed of.

And with no Luthor men
to divide us,

I can finally be
the mother you always wanted.

Because I do love you.

Let me prove it to you now.

(BEEPING)

What is this place?

One of Lex's facilities.

A giant satellite receiver
embedded in the top of this mountain

monitors outer space
for signs of intelligent life.

To warn of alien invasion?

Bingo!

Because we know
more are coming.

Which makes me glad
I joined the cause.

There's enough here to sustain
us for a long time if we need it,

but I suspect we won't.

Why not?

We're fugitives,
we can't go back.

Not yet.

But your brother didn't only keep
rations for times of emergency.

He also kept an arsenal.

Vaults around the world loaded with all
the things he'd collected to level

the playing field and defeat
Superman once and for all.

And one of those vaults
is right here.

AUTOMATED VOICE: Ready for authorization.

All we need

is to open it.

It's a biometric lock.

It scans for Luthor DNA.

Tell me you don't have
a bit of Lex frozen somewhere.

I didn't say Lex's DNA.

I said Luthor.

Any Luthor can open it.

And you, my daughter,
are part of that family tree.

You didn't have your green goon
liberate me from prison

because you loved me.

Because you
wanted to help me.

You did it because I'm the only one
who can open this vault for you.

While it's true I need your DNA,

one doesn't negate the other.

I still love you.

I still want to help you.

I promise it won't hurt.

The only person
you want to help is yourself.

I'll take my chances on my own.
(GASPS)

I think you should
listen to your mother.

You're hurting me.

He doesn't want to, Lena.

Put your hand on the pad and we
can all start getting along again.

I promise.

No.

I'm trying to play nice.

(LENA GRUNTS)

(GASPS)

(CLANKING)

See?

That wasn't so bad, was it?

You know,
the backseat driving, not helping.

Sorry. But have you
found anything yet?

I promise I will tell you.

Haven't you ever heard the phrase,
"A watched pot never..." Oh.

Whoa, wait a second,
I might be simmering.

What is it?

Okay, so I hacked into
L-Corp CCTV to get a copy

of the raw video footage
of Lena taking the Kryptonite.

But, ha! It looks like
somebody already hacked into

this system
a couple of days ago.

I know this code.

This is the same code
the real Hank Henshaw used

the day he broke into
L-Corp to take the isotope.

Okay, okay, if the video was
corrupted by Henshaw's cyborg signature,

then I can
reverse that signature

and decrypt it

and separate the raw video
file from the corrupted one.

And...

- Ha!
- Lena didn't do it.

You were right?

- I mean, you were right.
- Yeah.

You were right.

COMPUTER: Kryptonite signature detected.

What is it?

J'onn's been having me scan for Kryptonite
signature, so we could find Metallo.

Have you found it,
Agent Schott?

Yep! Fifty miles north
of Mount Whitney.

What? Wait.
It's strange because

either something's wrong with the
signal, or the source isn't pure.

ALEX: The ionizing
radiation signature is breaking down

at an exponential rate.

Kryptonite is normally
the most stable of elements.

Well, James said Metallo's
Kryptonite seemed off.

It could be synthetic.

That'd explain how they
had it in the first place.

And it wasn't with Clark.

Whoa, whoa.
If these numbers are right,

then it's not just unstable,

it's going to blow.

- Blow?
- Like, go nuclear.

Have you finished repairing
the anti-Kryptonite vest

Supergirl wore the last time
she fought Metallo?

- They're in pieces, I have to rebuild...
- No, there's no time.

I have to go now,
or Lena's dead.

Kara, we calculated
the rate of radioactive decay.

- It's faster than we thought.
- How fast?

Minutes. I mean, its half-life
is decreasing exponentially.

Kara, you have to turn back.

When the Kryptonite explodes,
it's gonna send out a radioactive cloud

of Kryptonite gas.

If you are anywhere near it,
it'll kill you.

Then I'll make sure
I'm not there when it goes off.

(SIGHS)

Well, this should
make you feel safe.

Lex's warsuit, an Atomic Axe,

a Black Mercy.

Everything we need to rid
this planet of Kryptonians

and every other alien invader,
once and for all.

You're worse than Lex.

I promise you,
I will be on the right side of history.

Maybe then you'll believe
that I was looking out

for your
best interests, after all.

Whether you like it or not,
I'll always be your mother.

Oh, my beautiful boy.

I had no idea...

You finished it.

(CRASHING)

Supergirl, I can't
believe you're here.

Kara Danvers believes in you.

Supergirl,
you're just in time.

I've been
wondering if these worked.

(HIGH-PITCHED WHINING)

(GROANS)

Supergirl?

Well, that was easy.

You want to try
more of these toys?

Don't hurt her!

Sorry, she's gotta pay
for what her cousin did to your brother.

(GROANS)

Lock Supergirl in the vault.

WINN: Supergirl, if you can
still hear me,

Metallo's Kryptonite heart,
the rate of decay is ticking up.

Metallo's heart
is going to explode.

You all need to leave.

You have to get
the Kryptonite out of him.

You're lying.

I'm not.

(WINCES)

He's going to die.

The only one
about to die is you.

Listen to me, the more Metallo
uses the synthetic Kryptonite,

the faster it's decaying.

Get out of there! Now!

It's time to leave.

(GRUNTS)

Kara, the Kryptonite
is almost critical.

(GRUNTS)

(GROANS)

Metallo, that pain
in your chest.

Take it out, let me help you.

You're a liar.

Martian.

Get Lena, let's go.

Kara, please!

Supergirl,
get out of there now!

Kara!

(RUMBLING)

- Kara!
- Kara!

(EXPLOSION)

I'm not one to usually gloat

or say,
"I told you so." But...

It doesn't seem
like I was the one with confirmation bias.

(CLICKS TONGUE)
Yesterday she was guilty.

Today she's not.

It's not confirmation bias,
Danvers,

it's just the news game.

And since you've got enough
time on your hands

to stand around and look up at that TV,

how about you get out there and
get an exclusive on Lena Luthor?

This time,

try to
spell "exclusive" right.

Hey.

Any, um, any word
on Lillian Luthor?

A satellite feed
from the mountain

showed a helicopter
before the explosion.

But, uh, no sign
of her afterwards?

Lillian and Henshaw got away.

Yeah.

You were right.

About Lena Luthor.

I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

You were
just trying to protect me.

Yeah.

Just like you're
always trying to protect me.

Can we just stop
trying to protect each other

and go back to being friends?

Because I really miss
being friends.

Me, too.

Haven't had
a game night in a while.

A game night sounds great.

Are you ever going
to let me win, though?

- Never.
- Sounds about right.

(CHUCKLES)

Deal.

It's a good article.

- You flatter me.
- I only wrote the truth.

I'm learning to keep digging
even when all the evidence points one way.

There's always another side.

Even when it's hard to find.

Especially when it's hard to find.

So, my office is
overflowing with flowers.

- Really?
- Yeah.

You didn't have to do that.

Yeah, I did.

Supergirl told me that
it was you who sent her.

I don't know
how to thank you.

Well, that's
what friends are for.

I've never had
friends like you before.

Come to think of it,
I've never had family like you.

No one has
ever stood up for me like that.

Well, now you have someone
that will stand up for you. Always.

Well, Supergirl
may have saved me,

but, Kara Danvers,
you are my hero.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

- Thank you.
- Anytime.

- Bye.
- Bye.

Check.

Checkmate.

I really like this game.

Maybe you are a Luthor after all.

(KNOCK ON DOOR)

- Hi.
- Thanks for coming.

Yeah, Yeah, I was, um, surprised
you called after how you dashed out.

Yes, I wanted
to apologize for that.

Because I should've
answered your question.

Yeah, could've.

Could've, should've, would've.

It's a... That's a thing
I heard at the bar.

It's not...

Yeah, but I don't
want to do that anymore.

With you.

See, uh...

(CHUCKLES)

I can be strong,

and stand my ground when
I'm protecting someone else,

but when that someone is me,

it's a lot harder.

'Cause I don't
like being vulnerable.

We're really different.

Yeah.

I'm, uh, super fun.

And you're hyper-critical.

More like, you're
an arrogant dude-bro

and I'm the personification
of the American way.

I'm sorry, and I'm arrogant?

That's not the point.

It's just...

Last year I thought I could have it all,
and then I thought I couldn't.

Then I had to pick.

So, I chose being Supergirl
over having a relationship.

And then, you came along,

and I thought you were

thoughtless and selfish.

And I kept writing you off.

And you kept proving me wrong.

And it just got me thinking,

maybe I can have it all.

Hi.

Hi.

Darling!

Who the hell are you?

My name is Mr. Mxyzptlk.

And Kara Zor-El, I love you.
