Previously onSupergirl...

Look what
they did to Lex.

He could've fixed this planet
for generations.

Lex went insane.

The Staff of Kalar.

The staff of
your god H'ronmeer
is a psychic weapon.

I was just informed
that you're refusing
to test my volunteers.

I want this serum
as quickly as you do,

but I refuse to rush anything
that may kill your agents.

I just need more time.

Where are you, Manchester?

Today I find you
like a Manhunter.

"Against other things,

it is possible
to obtain security,

but when it comes to death,

we human beings all live
in an unwalled city."

Do you know who said that?

Please, Lex,

you don't have to do this.

I'm doing this for us,

for the entire human race.

Listen down below.

They're already cheering.

And it was Epicurus,
by the way.

An aphorism 230 years old,

and yet still
as apt as ever.

You sound like a freshman
philosophy major

and you're gonna kill
millions of people.

The world can't live
under a red sun.

Neither can Superman.

You see, Sis,
we as a people

have become soft and fat,

-and stupid.

This is the Metropolis
Police Department.

Surrender!

Where was I?

My God, Lex,
you killed them.

Oh, that's right.
We must put faith
in ourselves,

but instead,
we look up to him,

with big glassy eyes
because we think
he's invincible.

It's my duty to dispel
the world of that notion.

And when he dies,

they will finally wake up

and see him
for what he really was,

a false god.

At least he's a good man.

He is not a man!

I was the Man of Tomorrow,
not him!

Not him!

So it's all ego, then?

No, it's science.

I want to see
if the Kryptonian
pretender can bleed.

-Even gods can die.

You'll see.

Everyone will see.

And then,
they're gonna thank me.

A stroke, huh?

You wanted to see me
in person that badly?

What can I say, Sis?

I missed you.

James! Oh, my God.

James.

James.

They call this
a mercy furlough.

Thank you, Officer.
That'll be all.

They never let me
out of their sight.

As if I'd run away
like a dog set loose
from his leash.

Well, you would.

Of course, I would.

But I can't.
I'm numb top to bottom.

My guts are in knots,
there's blood in my--

Okay, that's enough.

I'm dying.

I know.

That's it. You know?

Well, you've only mentioned it
at the start and the end

of every phone call
for the last six weeks.

I'm not used
to needing help.

It's weak, pathetic.

I'm pathetic.

Your white blood cell
count has stabilized.

You're not gonna die today.

I won't die tomorrow either
if you finish
the Harun-El serum.

I'm not risking human lives
on an experimental
untested drug.

What was the point
of pulling strings
to get you DEO resources

if not to test
your drug on humans?

I didn't ask for that.

And if Colonel Haley
knew you were behind it--

She doesn't.
No one does.

Except the person
whose strings you're pulling.

But now I wonder if you
didn't wanna just pull up

a front-row seat to watch me
wither away and die.

I'm not the one
who accidentally poisoned
myself with Kryptonite

in a quixotic attempt
to kill an invincible man.

And while I do find the irony

that you now need black
Kryptonite to cure yourself
just delicious,

you are my brother, Lex.

I do want to save you.

Besides, how can you pay
your debt to society
if you're already dead?

Hmm, now there's my sister.

Lena, Mr. Luthor,
I'm sorry to interrupt--

That's okay, honey.
I'll take a flat white.

And you can call me Lex.

It's easier to write
on the cup.

What is it, Eve?

It's James.

Oh, Kara, thank God
you're okay.

I heard what happened
at CatCo, and I wasn't sure.

No one else was hurt,
just James.

-Is he all right?
- They're
about to operate,

but his, um, his spine
was badly injured.

We don't know
what's gonna happen.

Okay, where is he?

He's upstairs, but they said
he can't have visitors yet.

Well, I'm not a visitor.
I own this hospital.

Little boxes, comrade.

What exactly transpired?

All I know is that
he was shot in his
own office from behind.

They used
a hollow-point bullet. It...

splintered.

Who would so
something so horrible?

Someone without a soul.

This has to be
Manchester Black.

At the march,
he threatened me.

He swore to come
after me and my family,
everyone I care about.

Seems he started with James.

We have to find him.

Stay with James.

He needs his friends right now.

I'll find Manchester.

This ends today.

Lena, I'm so sorry
this is happening,

but you and I both
know the limitations
of modern medicine.

I mean, even
best case scenario would
leave James paralyzed.

Your serum could
heal him entirely.

Or it can kill him.

I can't summon a breakthrough
through sheer force of will.

Then how is it that
every time I've seen you
work under pressure,

you have done exactly that?

Lena, you have
all of L-Corp,

and you have the DEO
at your disposal.

I mean, there must be
some resource that
you're not utilizing.

Keep me updated.

I found Manchester.

He's done something terrible.
I can sense it.

-I'm coming with you.
-All right.

Hey. Where are you going?

After Manchester Black.
He's the one responsible.

Well, be safe.
Kara and I can
hold down the fort.

No, I, uh...

I... I have to go to CatCo.

Now? I mean,
James is your best friend.

He would want to know
that someone could be there
if he couldn't.

What if something happens?

I'll be back soon.

What is this place?

This is where my father died.

-Supergirl!
- I'm on it.

Hello, J'onn.

How are you capable of this?

When you broke into my mind
to stop me from killing
the Lockwood brood,

you opened up a motorway.

It goes both ways.

So, whenever you poke
around in my mind

I can poke around in yours.

So, I did.

And lookie what I found.

Your peoples
most powerful weapon.

You don't know
what you're toying with.

Oh, but I do.

I dug deep into your mind.
And the ground.

You call yourself
a man of peace, Martian,

but your god
was one of wrath!

You burned my father's grave
to teach me a theology lesson?

You forget
H'ronmeer's punishments.

You're a hypocrite.

Wake up, man!

It's time you followed
the true righteous path.

And we can put a stop
to the hate that's burning
this world up,

just like it burned up Mars.

We can stop it together.

I heard everything.

J'onn, what did he mean
when he said "the punishments"?

Have you ever noticed
that her eyes seem to
follow you everywhere?

Lex...

Lex, it's worse
than I thought.

If we don't help him,
James is gonna die.

Why do you
even care about Jimmy?

I thought you two broke up,
and good riddance.

I pushed James away

because if he found out
about us working together,

it would destroy
our relationship.

And now, you're asking me
to work with you
to save him?

You were right,
the irony is delicious.

Help me fix the Harun-El,

and I can save
both you and him.

I haven't been able
to separate the drug's more
curative properties from its...

extra-normal ones.

Super powers.

Sounds less silly
the more you say it. Try it.

Its super powers is what
makes this drug so lethal.

Okay? The powers need to be
isolated and dosed out.

And you have more experience
working with Kryptonite,

in all of its forms,
than anyone else.

So, please help me.

You trust me?

Would you trust me if I did?

But I need you,

and that's enough.

Lex and Lena Luthor,

teaming up to save
Superman's best pal.

What would Mother think?

My dreams are failing me.

I should've seen this coming.

What good am I as a hero
if I can't even protect
the people that I love?

What about my powers?

Of deduction.

It should've been I
that predicted this.

A backlash always follows
a political success
like the march.

And Manchester
is still in possession
of my Legion ring.

He could use it
to fly into CatCo undetected.

I am to blame.

Are you guys all right?

Mr. Olsen is stable.

We were able to remove
a significant amount
of shrapnel

from around
his cervical vertebra,

but I have never seen
a normal bullet
cause this much damage.

We've placed him
in a medically-induced coma.

To reduce swelling, of course.

There are going to be
some decisions to make.
Who is next of kin?

Well, there's...
There's no family present,

but I can act
as next of kin.

We need a family member.

Look, I'm FBI, and I have
extensive medical training--

-Sorry, without a court order--
- I'm next of kin.

Sorry, I just got off
a red-eye.

I'm Kelly Olsen,
James' sister.

Did you say FBI?

Are you Kara's sister?

Yeah, um, I'm Alex.

It's nice to finally meet you.

I wish it was
under better circumstances.

I'd like to see James,
right away.

-Absolutely.
-Okay.

And these people
are family, too.

Make sure they have access.

It really is
a remarkable substance.

-It started with mice.

Sure,
a supraprimate.

It's like your're
running a lab out of
a Wikipedia handbook.

No wonder you're
so behind schedule.

Are you going
to taunt and provoke me
the entire time?

This is how
we've worked together
ever since we were kids.

You propose a theory,
I tell you how wrong you are,

and it drives you to be better.

And you call that
working together?

You're...

You're brilliant and driven

and defiant.

Always were. You just
needed someone to defy.

Wait. Are you actually
taking credit for my success?

You were always driven
to impress me. Always.

And if I
would've given you an inch,

if I would've thrown you
a "good job"

or cried out
"that's wonderful" every time
you showed me one of your toys,

do you think you would've
been as successful
as you are--

Oh, well, that's unfortunate.

We need some water in here.

Lex, just breathe, okay?

-Thank you.

-He can lap it up
like a dog.

-How dare you!
-It's okay, Sis.

I'm used to it.

I'm not very popular in prison.

What I was trying to say is...

you were...

wonderful.

You always...

wowed me. Always.

Look at you.
You made Kryptonite.

Even I couldn't do that.

I'm proud of you.

Let's get back to work.

This sentimentality
will kill me faster
than the cancer.

H'ronmeer tested
the Martian people
in many ways.

And when they failed him,
they were punished.

A god of wrath.

We can't just
track Manchester.

We'll have to find him
another way.

The sacred symbols.

Your Bible.

Maybe they can tell us
what Manchester is
planning to do next.

The symbols are full of tales
of H'ronmeer's vengeance.

When he would use violence
to enforce moral law.

Manchester can use the Staff
to recreate the punishments,
one by one.

All because I let him
into my head.

All to force me into violence.

You told me yourself
you thought Manchester
was a test.

Don't let him bait you.

Let's find him
and let's stop him.

Yes.

Alex, it's me.
I'm just checking in on James.

Call me back, okay?

Eve, what's wrong?

I understand you wanting
to save your dying brother,
no matter what he did.

But now we're giving him
full access to everything
in order to save Mr. Olsen.

Look, I care about James, too.

But I just wanna make sure
that you're not gonna
let your sympathy

jeopardize everything that
you've been working toward.

Eve, I know what my brother's
capable of more than anyone.

But I truly believe
his lone scheme right now
is just to live.

I don't think he can imagine
the world without him in it.

Okay?

Come on,
let's get back to work.

What's going on?

He's making a mess
of your floor.

I'll have you arrested!

Don't blame him.
He knows not what he does.

He's on a government salary
after all.

Give me the keys.

-You can't be serious.
-Give me the keys now!

It's your funeral, lady.

Eve.

How's he doing?

Still unconscious
but that means he's healing,

so I'll take it.

Thank you for
giving us access.

James means the world to us.

Of course. James has always
been more of a "chosen family"
kind of guy.

Speaking of,
where is your sister?

We need help in here!

He's coding.
Get them out.

Pressure's dropping.

Bring in the crash cart.
He needs to be intubated.

Your brother's
bleeding internally.

Surgery poses a great risk
to James' spinal cord,

but if we don't operate,
he'll continue to bleed out.

-He might die?
-Correct.

-Yeah, let's do the surgery.
-We'll prep him right away.

Look, there is another option.

It's a better one.

Lena's working with
the government
on an experimental drug

that could heal James entirely.

Okay. Why does that
sound too good to be true?

Because it's not ready yet.

But I spoke to her,
and she said that she just
needs a few more hours

to render the drug non-lethal.

You're proposing
that we hold off
on James' surgery,

risking his life for hours,

only to administer a drug
that might still kill him?

The operation
is gonna be invasive,

and it's gonna be traumatic
to James' entire system.

He will be lucky
if paralysis is his
only after-effect.

You haven't seen Lena work.

I have watched her
do incredible
and impossible things.

I understand
that you trust this woman,

but I don't know her.

All I know is that
she and James
had a messy break-up,

and that her family
has done some terrible things,

many of them to my brother.

Those things have nothing
to do with Lena.

That doesn't mean
I'm willing to put my brother's
life in her hands.

I just want
what's best for James.

So do I.

BPM's 92 and rising.

What was that tutor's name?

-Krinick.
-Yes. Yes, that's right.

Okay, injecting now.

If I misquoted my Salutati,
124 and rising,

she would make me stand
in a corner and repeat,

"I do not like myself"
in perfect Latin.

No wonder you became
a sociopath.

If the Latin fits.

143 and rising.

Pull back on the drip
just a touch.

No, that's how
we lost the last one.

-That was a tad, not a touch.
-You call that scientific?

Do you want this
to succeed or not?

Pulling back a touch.

165.

162.

152.

-It's dropping.
-The tumor's reduced by half.

BPM's still a little high.

No, the heart's still beating.

We've almost got it.

- It's Alex.

You should take that.

Alex. Is James okay?

No, Kara.

James' life is at stake

and you left me here alone.

And he's heading
into surgery again.

What? Why?

He's bleeding internally.

And his sister wanted
the doctors to operate--

Hang on. Kelly's there?
What is happening?

You would know
if you were here.

We all need you here, Kara.

He's headed into
a very dangerous operation,

and you may never
get to say goodbye.

Where are you, exactly?

CatCo? Because I called there,

and they said that you
haven't been there all day.

I'm... I'm helping J'onn
with a lead.

J'onn needs a reporter
to help fight Manchester Black?

I mean, what are you
gonna do exactly?
Gonna interview him?

No, it's not--

The operation's
about to begin.

I have to go call Lena.

Good luck with
your investigation.

We're so close.

At this point,
it's 99% non-lethal.

It doesn't matter now.

James is in surgery.

So, why are you still here?

I can't help James now.

Did I ever tell you

about my dog, Ignatius?

Before you joined our family,

he was my closest companion.

And when I was seven,

he had to be put down.

If you're gonna continue
to compare James
to your dying dog,

I'm not sure I'm gonna
be amenable to your point.

I wanted to be there
for the procedure.

But Mother insisted that
I go on a business trip
with Father.

She thought I was being
too sentimental.

That's our mom.

That's my mom.

A trip with Father,

that sounds like something
that ordinarily
would've pleased me.

But on this particular trip,

he brought a woman with him,

and insisted that she go
everywhere with us.

So, here I was,

seven years old, dog dying,

Father ignoring me.

Is there a point to this story?

At first, I swore
to loathe this woman.

How dare she take
my father from me at the
moment I needed him most?

But I couldn't
keep my promise.

Because she was wonderful.

She was so kind to me.

On the day they put
Ignatius down,
she embraced me,

and sang me this
beautiful Irish song.

By the end of the trip,

I wished that
she was my mother.

But she wasn't your mother.

She was yours.

I want you to know
with certainty

that while I came from poison,

you came from love.

And if the rest of this family
stands steadily in darkness,

you will always
fall into the light.

I knew that from
the moment I met her.

Jimmy needs you now, Lena.

It's James.

You can send the guard back in.

J'onn.

Kara, how is Alex...

Dead, like me.

You stood idly by, J'onn.

You just sat there,

and you waited.

And you prayed.

And you just sat there.

While they came for us!

You're not real.

-We are.
-So real.

Manchester, show yourself!

We're the ones
you couldn't save.

Who you wouldn't save.

Just like your own daughters!

Alex! No!

Alex!

Kara!

No!

-J'onn? J'onn?

J'onn! Hey! Hey, I'm here.

It's me.
You're okay, you're safe.

Manchester was trying
to show me what could happen

if I continue to sit idly by.

I have left you and Alex
alone to face dangers.

Is choosing the path of peace

worth it if it means
I could lose

everyone I care about?

After what happened
on Krypton,

the way my mom
stood by and did nothing,

I've always sworn
that if I can act, I will.

But until you took
your vow of peace,

I didn't truly understand

that simply by standing
with someone you can
make them feel braver.

J'onn, the only reason
Alex and I can face
danger the way we do

is because we know
you're standing by us.

In whatever way you choose.

Thank you.

What should we do now?

Well, clearly,
Manchester wants you
to hunt him,

so he can exploit
your psychic connection
and attack you,

and we've just been
playing into his hands.

So, maybe the best
thing to do now

is let him come to us.

It's a peace offering.

I'm sorry about before.
I was out of line.

You care about James.

That's nothing
to apologize for.

Well...

But I will take it.

-Oh.
-Yes. Thanks.

Oh. Jell-O really is
the perfect hospital food.

It's a metaphor for trauma.

If you shake it, it wobbles,

but it still holds its form.

If you dig in too deep,
it's never the same.

You don't seem to be
wobbling very much,

given the circumstances.

-Military?
-Psychologist, yeah.

Mmm.

I have pretty much seen it all.

Plus, this is the 12th time

that I have visited James
in the hospital.

-Wow.
-You know my brother,

he's always running off

and diving into
something dangerous.

It was the way he coped
when things

got hard at home.

If you just keep running
then you don't have to stop

-and feel how much
you're hurting.

That sounds familiar.

-Kara!
-Hi.

Oh, it's been forever.

Sorry it took me
so long to get here.

You were where
you needed to be.

-I am now.

I am going to go
and find more snacks.

Yeah, I'll come with you.

-Okay, cool.
-J'onn, by the way.

Oh, cool name.

-French?
- Close.

So, you came.

I did, and I brought a whole
bunch of excuses with me.

But deep down,
I think I just...

couldn't bear standing by
doing nothing.

It's scary, feeling helpless.

-It's terrifying.
-Yeah.

But being here
with you isn't nothing.

It's everything.

Come here.

Kara, Alex.

-Where is he?
-Um...

-He's this way.
-Yeah, this way.

Okay.

Are you okay?

I would be better
if I could just get a Choco!

I usually get along
so well with machines.

He's gonna be okay.

It's not just James.

Only months ago,
Supergirl nearly died.

And don't even get me started
on the AI plate that has
forced me to...

just give up
my entire existence!

Have I mentioned that
every single one of
my ancestors is evil?

And Mon-El, well,

he was always
a bit dismissive.

Microaggressions are
their own form of trauma.

I'm...

I'm sorry. I think...

I think this event
has forced me to process

every difficult thing
I have ever experienced.

And I still can't even
get a Choco--

Power surge?

Manchester's at the dam.

It powers the whole city.

With the Staff,
he can wipe it out.

Let's go.

James! He's in
the middle of surgery!

Where are
the backup generators?

Should be on right now.

We can't finish
without power. He'll bleed out.

Manchester!

Well, well,
it's about time.

Come and get it,
Martian of peace!

The dam's cracked.

He's gonna flood
the whole city.

Go. This war is mine.

I picked
the safe option.

This isn't supposed to happen
when you pick the safe option.

Kelly, look, no one
could've predicted that
this was gonna happen.

You made the best decision
that you could
for your brother,

and Lena's drug
wasn't ready then.
But it's ready now.

Now, look, I know you have
1,000 reasons
to not trust Lena Luthor,

but I'm not asking you
to trust her.

I'm asking that
you trust me.

-Let's do it.
-Okay.

Hi. Sorry, didn't mean
to eavesdrop,

nasty habit, but I heard
what you just said.

I brought the drug,
just in case.

We have to find Lena now.

Damn it!

Stop this madness!

You'll kill thousands
of innocent people.

This world is already
tearing itself apart.

If you want to stop that,
don't fight me.

Join me.

Never.

What I'm about to do
is absolutely illegal.

Any witnesses will be
considered accessories
to a crime.

- Miss Luthor.
-Leave now before I fire you.

If you don't
stand up and fight,
you'll lose everything.

Again.

K'hym.

T'ania.

No.

Run. Run!

No. No!

Hey.

You're beautiful.

J'onn.

Where's Manchester?

Let's go see James.

I only got shot once.
You didn't have to
come all this way.

Aw, you never
invite me to visit.

How else was I
gonna meet your friends?

They're pretty great,
by the way.

One of them
even saved your life.

Yeah, about that...

-Thank you.
-I'm just glad you're okay.

Besides, Supergirl was
the one that found you.
You should be thanking her.

Yeah.

Oh. I know you just
came back from the dead,

but you're about to wish
that you didn't

because I called Mom.

I think that's our cue.

No, she...
Don't leave me alone. Guys.

-Good luck, honey.
-You've been there for me.

Hey, Mom.

You should give that ring
back to Brainy.

He'll be happy to see it.

I'm not ready to explain
how I got it.

James is okay.

The whole city is okay

because of you.

Yeah, but at what cost?

Manchester is dead.

I know you're trying to follow
your father's code,

but what happened today

doesn't change who
you're trying to be.

But I don't know
who that is, Kara.

One thing I do know,

I am not a man of peace.

If I may...

-We don't need
to talk about it.
-I must.

Even if it hurts.

A wise man once said,

"Relationships based on
intense experiences
never work."

What are you...

The wise man is Keanu Reeves.

A truth-teller
is there ever was one.

It pains me to say,
you and I...

we can never be together.

All right, well,
if Keanu Reeves says--

Don't speak. It only
makes this more difficult.

Whatever you say, wildcat.

You know, most bad kids
burn ants using
a magnifying glass.

But not you.

No, you would build ant hills
out of mud and twigs, to scale.

It would take you hours,
sometimes days.

And then, you would
trick the ants into thinking
they were going home.

They would follow
the maze you laid out

and walk right
into an open flame.

I'm sorry, exactly what
are you accusing me of?

The power in the hospital
didn't go off because of
the attack on the dam.

You did that.

And I know because
the L-Corp foundation
has its name on every scalpel,

bench, and backup generator
in the place.

Hmm. Quite the philanthropist
you've become.

There were children
in that hospital, Lex.

You took advantage of
the attack on the dam

to kill the power,
while James was on
the operating table.

You risked his life
and the lives of
countless others

just so I would be forced
to test the Harun-El.

Aw, you figured it all out.

Well, mostly.
You missed one big thing.

Yeah, the story about
my mother was just another
lie to manipulate me.

No, that was true.

That's what made it
so effective.

But I also had Jimmy shot.

Unfortunately, that wasn't
as effective a cattle prod
as I'd hoped.

You are sick.

Exactly.

I'm dying.

This horrible cancer
is eating me up

and you are sitting pretty
on the very thing
that could cure me,

and you wouldn't even test it!

God knows I'm not going to
test an experimental,
lethal drug on myself,

so you needed a nudge,

and a test dummy.

Well, it worked.

James is gonna live,

and you're gonna rot.

'Cause I will never,

never give you the cure.

Take him away.

Lena... Lena, I...

I'm disappointed that
this is your reaction,

but I'm not surprised.

Which is why I had
someone give me the cure

ten minutes ago.

-You're dead.
-No, you're dead.

No. No. No!

Image inducers. I have to say,
I was skeptical,

but they really do
come in handy.

Miss Tessmacher!

Eve.

Sorry, not sorry.

-How long?
-Forever.

-It's nothing personal.

- Mayday, Mayday.
Individual one--

Mmm. That won't be
necessary, Miss Tessmacher.

My sister may be happy
to let me die,

but I have no intention
of killing her.

Are you sure
about that, boss?

She's a real smarty two-shoes.

It's like food in your teeth.

You're gonna thank me one day.

Everyone will. I'm sure of it.

Stay here and take care of her.

Yes, Mr. Luthor.

Freeze!

Indeed.

Supergirl.

Nice to finally meet you.
