Smile.

- Let's get one with you. - I'm good, Jimmy.

You two are the ones nominated for an award tonight.

You are nominated too.

Technically, Superman was nominated.

But it's fine. I'm fine.

Good evening, award co-nominees,

plus Clark.

Which one of you lucky kids gets to ride up front with me?

Uh...

Just kidding.

The back seat's for nominees only.

Come on, Kent.

Make yourselves comfortable, VIPs.

Back there, you've got all weather floor mats,

adjustable protein shake sleeves

and check this. It's a curtain.

It's like Kent and I aren't even here.

So you think Superman's gonna show up tonight?

I'm--I mean, I'm sure he'll try his best to make it.

I mean, he definitely wants to be here.

He probably misses the city as much as it misses him.

Probably.

Poor Clark.

How long does it usually take to open up

after your identity's been shattered?

I'll see if we can talk tonight.

Speaking of tonight,

who's Kara bringing to the gala?

- Oh, you mean like a date? - Yeah, a date.

She's the most eligible bachelorette in Metropolis.

I don't think she's bringing anyone.

She's been full time Supergirl for the last month and--

Wait! Are you bringing a date?

Well, W.O.R.M.S., W.O.R.M.S., W.O.R.M.S.

- reached out to me again. - Jimmy!

And as a man of business,

I have a contractual obligation

to go on one more date, uh, tonight.

You're bringing a date to a gala

where Kara is receiving an award?

Come on. You've seen Kara on the apps.

She's moved on.

I can't wait until your date

turns you into an octopus or a human skyscraper or--

Listen, I have this all under control.

Nothing is gonna happen tonight.

You see, Lois, this is a perfectly normal gala

with perfectly normal--

The "Daily Planet" interns are being featured tonight.

So Mr. White says we're your problem now.

What?

It's okay, Jimmy. I got this.

- But, Clark-- - It's all right.

It's really okay.

I need something to do.

Wait. I'm gonna go find--

She's here.

Kara.

She's moved on.

I don't see a date.

Uh...

Hey, Kara!

Over here!

Lois Lane! Jimmy Flamebird!

Oh, Monsieur Olsen.

Bonsoir, cheri.

Wow! Hello.

You must be Princess Marina Maru.

Maru. And please, James, call me Marina.

Cat Grant, "Daily Planet."

Is James Olsen your date tonight?

Oh, oui, bien sur!

Jimmy brought a date.

Jimmy brought a date!

That's Jimmy's W.O.R.M.S. date.

Well, Jimmy's always had a boyish charm.

Boyish charm.

Anyway, I hope we get a chance to talk tonight, Clark.

The dress is fire.

Uh, sorry, Lois, but I gotta go get those rascals.

Come here, you. Come on.

- Lane. - Vicki.

I can't believe you turned down a job with me

to stay with your deadweight boyfriend.

So much promise wasted.

I don't need to work for you to be a great reporter, Vicki.

And by the way, we're nominated in the same category.

So I think I'm doing just fine.

You mean co-nominated with the Olsen kid?

You can't even win an award

without one of your little boy toys at your side.

Let's find out what you're made of, shall we, Lane?

Whoever walks away with the biggest scoop tonight wins.

Oh, you're on.

You talk a big game, Vicki,

but everyone knows all that really counts

is what you can do.

Vicki Vale!

Can you believe I used to be obsessed with her?

Hey, is everything okay?

Oh, yeah. Great.

Everything's great.

I can help you.

Metropolis has been missing its hero

for over a month now.

Supergirl is expected to be at the humanitarian gala tonight

to accept her award.

But will Superman be there to join her?

Mmm, my friend.

Jimmy, introduce me to your date.

Who you brought to the gala where I am receiving an award.

Kara, I, uh--

Ah, Supergirl.

You and Superman are greatly admired even in Markovia.

Metropolis is fortunate to have you as its guardian.

Thank you, Princess.

But it is Superman who deserves all the credit.

You deserve the credit.

You saved the city.

And I--I know the city's confusing

and doesn't always know how it feels.

But everybody in the city

really, really cares about you, Kara, and--

Ah, James Olsen.

You are so kind to your platonic friend.

Uh, I mean, I'm-- I'm just, uh...

Good evening and welcome

to Metropolis's 10th Annual Humanitarian Gala.

My name is Silver St. Cloud.

And it is my honor to be your host tonight.

Thank you for joining us here at the Natural History Museum.

We have an impressive roster of speakers

and so much charitable service to recognize tonight.

So please find your seat. Thank you.

Fox to vulture. Entryway has been secured.

Uh, Kara, can you believe these are the bones of a blue whale,

Earth's largest living animal?

Flip, why don't you tell--

Uh-oh. Flip?

Hey, Clark, won't you miss Kara's--

Don't worry, I'll be back before Kara's award.

I promise.

Flip!

It's my great privilege to recognize not one,

but two courageous individuals

who put their lives on the line for Metropolis

again and again.

Please, a huge round of applause

for Metropolis humanitarians,

Superman and Supergirl.

Thank you all.

Kal-El--Superman wishes he could be here tonight.

But in his absence,

I humbly accept this award for us both.

I can see why Superman loves your Earth.

Although I am still new to this planet,

it is already full of people I love.

And friends I can count on.

Fox to Vulture. Exits are locked and alarms are disabled.

Local feed redirected.

Ready to broadcast at your word.

- Princess Maru. - Vicki, what are you--

You're so outspoken in your beliefs.

Do you fear public backlash or even persecution

for your endorsement of free expression?

I have received several threats, yes.

But I always take the necessary precautions.

I refuse to be silenced.

Hmm.

Leaving already, Lane?

That's what you sound like.

What's all this?

Who's there?

Uh, I think we need to tell someone about this.

Like who?

Flip?

Kids?

Anyone?

Be really great to have super-hearing right about now.

Flip?

Um, stop being creepy.

What in the--

Flip!

So you have absolutely no opinions

on the growing armed presence here tonight?

Do you have thoughts on anything?

Fine. Who's in charge here?

That would be me.

Oh, hi, Silver.

I--I just wanted to-- Have you seen--

I'm a big fan of your work, Lois.

You're a terrific reporter.

Oh, wow. Thank you.

But these interrogations are kind of bringing down the vibe.

You know what I mean?

The added security is Princess Maru's private detail.

That's all.

I'm sorry, Silver.

I'm just in this stupid competition

with Vicki tonight and--

Tonight's awards aren't enough for you two?

Okay. I guess I'm always in

a stupid competition with Vicky,

but, I mean, what's enough?

I don't know.

But I do know that if you need an award

to tell you that you're enough,

you'll never get there.

Just do your best.

And if you can celebrate whatever that brings you

with the people you love,

well, that's as much as anybody gets.

Wait. Where are the people I love?

Get away from them!

My powers.

Is everyone all right? Anybody hurt?

You're hurt. Clark.

Where's Superman?

I--I'm sorry, I--

- Come on. We have to go now. - Hey, you!

Clark?

Anyone?

This is Vulture. I got another stray.

- Shh. - Clark, there's a man.

Yeah. His friend just shot me.

Vulture to Fox.

I have strays in the hallway. I'll take care of them.

Confirm when you have hands on the princess.

Hands on the princess?

And now please join me in welcoming

our esteemed keynote speaker,

Her Royal Highness,

Princess Marina Maru of Markovia.

Kara.

Jimmy, Princess Maru has a problem.

Armed men have broken in and they're after her.

I am Princess Marina Maru.

But you may call me...

Dr. Poison!

I am here to reverse the Anthropocene era,

curing our Mother Earth of the disease of humankind!

- Jimmy! - I guess I have a type.

And what better place to start this revolution

than here at the mausoleum you've created

for the animals of Le Monde.

Prepare to leave on four legs or not at all!

You! Stop!

Ah, Supergirl.

Such a pity my poison does not work on you,

but you have other problems, no?

At this very moment,

my henchmen are at the Metropolis Dam.

Ready to release my poison

directly into the city's water supply.

Can you be in two places at once?

Kara, go save the city.

Dr. Poison is my contractual obligation.

Open up!

Uh, how are you gonna stop him?

I--

Wait.

Any ideas on how to stop Dr. Poison?

- Uh-- - She's your date.

Wait. Your boyish charm. Use your boyish charm!

I--I don't think it works like that.

Oh, no. No, no, no.

I don't want to be a wolf again.

Uh, what?

This way, kids. We're almost there.

It's over!

The guard.

I thought his name was Vulture.

Back up, kids! Back up!

Get to the chopper!

Wait!

Princess Maru!

James?

Princess, please listen to me.

This form suits you, James.

But sadly, this must be adieu.

But didn't you feel our connection?

Our animal attraction?

I--Well--

Everyone, keep going.

Lois, what are you--

Lois?

Lois!

Lois!

Are you--

Up here, Smallville.

Cat?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Keep going.

James, you beautiful fool.

You were just a pawn in my world-altering game.

A handsome pawn, oui, but a pawn seulement.

I'm sorry. What was that?

I can't understand you because of your gas mask.

Do not think me cruel, James.

But I only arranged a date with you

to gain access to this event.

But now I must shed you like so much snakeskin.

But wait.

Just one more thing.

That's enough!

Shark to Fox.

Operation Make a Splash has been compromised.

Allons-y. Maintenant!

Bad dog.

Huh? Who...

James, I am so sorry to have broken your fragile heart.

Don't worry, you didn't.

There are more sharks in the sea,

my delicious poundcake.

You will forget our restless rendezvous

and someday find true love.

I'm already in love with someone.

I've just been really, really stupid about it.

Of course, c'est moi.

Her name is Kara.

Whatever makes you feel better, James.

Au revoir!

Silver. Hi.

Lois, I wanted to congratulate you

on your award.

I won?

I mean, thanks, Silver.

Enjoy the rest of your night, Miss Lane.

Well, obviously, the work itself is its own reward.

Here, Flip. Do you want this?

Uh, thanks.

Okay, she's gone. Give it back. Ooh! It's so shiny!

Jimmy Flamebird!

Why did you share feelings with Dr. Poison

that you would not share with me?

I thought it seemed like you moved on.

You were on the apps. You--you'd been dating people?

No, I wanted to be together.

You ran away and--and played your stupid Earth games.

Then Kal-El became distant.

And--and you stopped talking to me.

I--I thought you just wanted to be friends.

How can you be my friend

if you hide when I need you most?

I'm sorry, Kara.

I didn't understand how you felt.

You did not ask.

Clark, we did it! We saved the city.

Jimmy and I won the award.

- And you-- - I didn't do anything, Lois.

You saved the kids. Jimmy defeated Dr. Poison.

Kara saved the city.

All I did was get shot and locked in a closet.

Metropolis needed a hero,

and all I could give them was Clark Kent.

Hey, I love Clark Kent.

Well, he's no Superman.

Clark, you can't spend the rest of your life

comparing yourself to someone you might never be again.

And what am I supposed to do?

Who am I supposed to be?

Huh?
