Previously on
Supergirl...

My blood is turning you
into a White Martian.

You're Hank Henshaw.
The real Hank Henshaw.

Hank Henshaw is dead.

I'm Cyborg Superman.

- What did they do to you?
- They took my blood.

Hello, Kara Zor-El.
How can I help you today?

Tell me everything you know
about the project you call Medusa.

I will never get tired
of watching you do that.

- I'm gonna tell her.
- Just...

Let me start it out, all right?

I'm gonna casually drop
how badass the suit is...

- Oh, my God.
- Yeah, yeah, it's like,

"Oh! Oh, this is so good!

"It's like somebody from
the DEO must have made it."

Enough with the suit, already.
Okay, it's a badass suit.

But I'm the one in the badass suit,

so, I should be the one to tell her.

- Yeah.
- Tell who what?

Alex, um, okay, so,
we thought about what you said...

- Mmm-hmm.
- About Kara.

Right, about not keeping secrets from her.

We talked about it,

and I'm gonna be the one
that tells her I'm the Guardian.

- No, no, no, no, you're not.
- Yeah.

No, because I have something to say,
something very important.

And I'm not going to have
you two hijacking the night

with your vigilante hijinks.

I'm sorry, um,
I couldn't sleep a wink last night.

- No, I can't wait.
- Can't wait for what?

Eliza's glazed carrots!

- Oh, yeah.
- Yeah, I mean...

Winn was gushing about those
ever since last Thanksgiving.

Family tradition!

Oh, I'll get it.

- Jolly Thanksgiving!
- Thanks!

Thank you, and it's "Happy Thanksgiving."

- Oh, right. Happy...
- What's this?

That? You asked for stuffing.

So, I ripped open my mattress
and pulled some out.

Oh, uh, well,
that's not quite what I meant.

Kara, is this your friend from Daxam
you were telling me about?

Yes!

- Um, this is my adopted mother...
- Dr. Danvers!

It is an honor and a privilege.

- Please, call me Eliza.
- Eliza.

Well, Kara tells me
that you're a brilliant scientist.

That must be riveting.

I have to hear about this science.
What is science?

- Are you okay?
- Yeah.

- What?
- Yeah.

- I think Mon-El is hitting on Eliza.
- No way.

- And, uh... He brought stuffing.
- Oh, boy.

- Ooh! Mmm-mmm.
- No, please.

So, you really hit it off with Mon-El.

Kara. He's chatting me up
because I'm your mother.

- What?
- He likes you!

- Uh, no. No.
- Yes.

He's trying to score points
with me to impress you.

- There's no way.
- Believe me. A mother knows.

Kara, will you do us the honors?

Oh, yes. Okay. Okay.

So, it is a Danvers family tradition
that, before the meal,

we go around, and we say
what we're thankful for, so...

- Ah!
- I like that.

- Whoever wants to go first... Okay.
- Yeah, all right.

I wanna go first.

Kara, I for one, would like to say

how thankful I am to have
such an understanding friend.

- He's right. You are so understanding.
- You are.

- No, she's not.
- Yes, she is.

No, she's not.

Uh...

Yeah, I just wanna say something.

I'm also thankful for you, Kara, um,

'cause not only are you understanding,
but you're also gracious.

Out of everybody who could
have found me in that pod,

I'm the luckiest guy
in the world that it was you.

I'm just going to jump in and say

there are so many things
that I'm thankful for.

And, honestly,
I don't think I've ever really felt

this much like myself than right now,

and so, there's a reason for that.

And that reason...

Well, that reason is...

Does that normally happen on Thanksgiving?

So, last night, the space-time continuum

ripped apart in the middle
of your apartment.

Which only makes it slightly less intense
than last year's Thanksgiving.

Any idea what caused it?

Oh, maybe some extra-dimensional being

just had a craving
for your mom's cranberry relish.

Yes. Ugh.

Okay, time to keep scanning for tachyons
and other reality-shredding particles.

All right, people, holiday is over,
let's get back to work.

Now, question of the day,
what did Cadmus want with Supergirl?

And why did Lillian Luthor
take your blood?

I mean, why not just kill you?

I think she probably has something
a little more nefarious planned.

Oh, yeah, those Luthors do love
an epic criminal scheme.

I just need to know what Lena knows.

Will do. I will tap every phone.
I will hack every computer.

No. I'll do it. I mean, I know her.

I bet you I could get her
to say what she knows.

- How?
- Reporting skills.

And good old-fashioned sneakiness.

- Solid plan. No problem.
- Yeah, absolutely.

You guys!
I can be sneaky when I want to be.

- Definitely.
- Sounds like a plan.

- Hack Lena, anyway.
- Duh.

- So, what is this interview for, really?
- Oh, it's a puff piece.

"Women of Power and the
Mothers Who Molded Them."

Oh, I mean, of course,
I'm happy to help, Kara,

I'm just not sure how interesting
my mother and I really are.

Oh, I'm sure your mother is fascinating.

Listen, Kara,
you can write whatever sounds good,

but the truth is,

as a daughter,
I always seemed to fall short.

- We could never agree on anything.
- What sort of things didn't you agree on?

Was it with the business, or...

Oh, God, no!
My mother couldn't care less about L-Corp.

What about back when it was Luthor Corp?

How did she feel when you
changed the company's direction?

You mean when I changed it from its
"murdering world domination" direction?

Sure, yes.

It's just, you said to me once, you
wanted L-Corp to be a "force for good."

- She has to be proud of that.
- Yeah, I would hope so.

Look, Kara, you know, I'm a complete
idiot. I forgot I had a meeting.

- I trust you will do us justice.
- Yes.

It's good to see you.

Mom?

We need to talk.

- Can I get ya anything?
- No.

Suit yourself.

Wow. You must be a regular here.

So, are you looking for some company?

- I am very good company.
- Yeah, I'm sure you are.

And I actually am looking for company,
but with someone else.

Ah!

I'm sorry, excuse me.

J'onn!

- Hey, what happened?
- They're dead! All the aliens are dead!

Is this really necessary?

I feel fine.
I could do 1,000 push-ups one-handed.

While that's very impressive,

we can't risk you transmitting

whatever you were exposed to
in the bar to the rest of us.

Which begs the question,

what the hell was he exposed to?

- Tell us what happened again.
- I already... I told you guys...

I saw you. But not you,

the real you, the original Hank Henshaw.

I followed him outside,
we fought, and I lost.

And then I heard the screams.

If I hadn't followed him outside,
I could have stopped this.

The only reason you're still alive

is because
you chased Hank Henshaw outside.

I have never heard of a weapon,
bio or otherwise,

that can target only alien physiology.

And that thing killed
everything in that bar,

except human beings.

I would like to bring my mother in
to help analyze the crime scene.

She specializes in astrobiology,
I think she could really help.

That's a good idea.

- Great, let's get going.
- No, no, no.

You and I will remain
quarantined here at the DEO

until we can figure out exactly
what sort of toxin we're dealing with.

J'onn, this is Cadmus.

I know it. They're planning something.

My alien sister is not leaving here

until we figure out how
Cadmus was able to target only aliens.

It's better safe than sorry.

This is quite a depressing sight.

I'm used to celebrating holiday weekends
alone at my desk.

Overworking does run in the family.

Now, I know you're in the holiday spirit.

Usually that kind of thought
is followed by the backstabbing jibe

about how I'm not really a Luthor.

You never let me forget that I'm adopted.

When it comes to your children,
Lex was always your favorite.

- And you always your father's.
- You sound almost jealous.

You shouldn't take it all so personally.

No parent truly loves
their children equally.

And, though, maybe I loved Lex more,
I do love you, Lena.

In my own way.

Well...

Now, that we've got the pleasantries
out of the way,

let me ask, what the hell are you up to?

We've hardly spoken since Lex's trial.

I thought maybe you called me here
to make amends.

It's Thanksgiving, after all.

But I see I was mistaken.

There's a reporter sniffing about.

She's smart.

She knows something about you.

- What is it?
- I couldn't possibly imagine.

- See, I know you're lying.
- And how would you know that?

Because you told me you love me.

And we both know that's not true.

Thanks for stopping by, Mom.

- Oh, crap.
- Aw, sucks for you.

My turn. I mean, please.

- And you're in jail.
- That feels appropriate.

You'll be out of here soon enough.
Both of us will. So, don't pout.

Hey, you don't, uh...
You don't like me, do you?

Of course I like you.

No, I mean, like,
you don't "like me" like me?

""Like you' like you"?
Sorry, English is my second language.

My mom, Eliza,
she thought you were being

extra nice to her on Thanksgiving.

That's like a thing
that boys on this planet do.

They're nice to the moms
of girls they have crushes on sometimes.

"Crush"?

Sorry, I'm not following.

You don't want to mate with me, do you?

Um...

I mean, have you seen the women
that I've been attracting,

earthlings and otherwise,
since I've been on this planet?

Uh-huh, thank you for the clarification.

Mon-El!

Oh, Mon-El!

Warning! Containment breach.

Hey! Hey!

- Warning! Containment breach.
- Hey! Hey!

- Stay with me! Stay with me!
- Warning! Containment breach.

Help!

- He's stable for now.
- Thank Rao.

But he is infected.

Did he pass it on to Kara?

The virus isn't transmittable
organism-to-organism.

You have to come in contact

with a weaponized aerosol
in order to be infected.

- That's some good news.
- There's something else.

I isolated a strand of the virus
from Mon-El's blood.

Based on the protein code, I'm fairly
certain the virus is from Krypton.

A Kryptonian virus?
How did Cadmus even get its hands on that?

My blood.

- That's why they needed it. To get in.
- To get into what?

The Fortress of Solitude.

Kelex, what happened here?

Kara Zor-El, there is
an intruder in the Fortress.

Where? Who is it?

You. You are the intruder.
And you will be destroyed.

What did you want here, Henshaw?

"Project Medusa..."

Dad.

Hello, Kara. What do you wish to know?

Uh...

Um...

What is, uh... What is Project Medusa?

Medusa,

a weaponized virus that I created
for the defense of the planet Krypton.

Wait, a virus you created?

It was a joint partnership between
the Science and Military Guilds.

We bio-engineered the virus
to attack non-Kryptonian physiology.

In the event of an invasion,

Medusa could be deployed
to kill alien combatants,

while keeping our civilians
and infrastructure safe from harm.

Growing up, you told me
your work was saving lives.

I was saving Kryptonian lives.

It was the perfect weapon.

Well, now, your perfect weapon
is in the hands of my enemy.

Henshaw stole the virus' formula
from the Fortress of Solitude,

which means Cadmus can make
as much of the virus as they want.

An unstoppable bio-weapon
that kills every alien except Kryptonians.

The news just gets better and better.

Well, that explains why
Mon-El is still alive.

Kryptonians and Daxamites
share similar DNA.

So, he'll recover?

His immune system is battling
the virus and he is fighting hard.

But without a cure,
the infection will win.

Well, here's everything
I found on the virus at the Fortress.

Mom and I will get to work
on it right away.

We'll find a way to combat it.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah. Yeah, I'll be fine.

So, what is it?

Oh, I've got the mainframe breaking down
the virus on a molecular level.

No, I mean, I know
you've been trying to tell me something.

Oh...

No.

No?

How?

Keeping a secret
disagrees with you, sweetie.

This isn't like that, Mom.

Does it have anything to do with Maggie?

You mention her a lot.

Oh, my beautiful Alexandra,

why is it so hard for you to tell me?

I feel like I'm, uh...

I'm letting you down somehow.

Why would your being gay ever let me down?

You always wanted me
to have a regular life.

Alex, look at the life our family has led.

Look at me, look at your sister.

I don't think you believe I ever
expected you to have a regular life.

You were always gonna be different, Alex.

Because you were always exceptional.

And I love you however you are.

Come here.

I like this view much better

than the stalactites at our last office.

Here, the lives we've been charged
to protect are always in view.

Kind of reminds me of the view
from my room on Krypton.

I could see the whole city
from that window.

All the lights, pods zooming by...

But then again,
I guess I didn't truly see anything.

All my life,
I thought my parents were the good guys.

And now, the more I learn,

the more I see things,
how they really are.

And the more I'm ashamed
to be their daughter.

Kara, your parents
tried to protect a planet.

They tried to save lives.

I'm sure Lex and Lillian Luthor
thought their intentions were good, too.

Is this their legacy?

Death and destruction across the universe?

Your parents' legacy is not
death and destruction, Kara Zor-El.

It's you.

J'onn! J'onn!

What's...
What is happening to you?

M'gann's, uh, blood infusion
saved my life, but...

It also poisoned me.

I'm...

I'm turning into a White Martian.

Oh, my God.

But Alex and Eliza,
they can find a cure, we can fix this.

The priority has to be Medusa.

I don't want them or anybody else
being distracted from the primary mission.

We have to stop Cadmus.

We found out how Cadmus
intends to weaponize Medusa.

They need a dispersion agent,
one not available on our planet,

but there is an analogous element,
Isotope 454.

Which is incredibly rare
because it's made exclusively by L-Corp.

If Cadmus gets their hands on it,

they'll be able to spread the virus
across the entire city.

There's nothing we'll be able to do
to stop them.

Maggie?

Get every available unit
you have to L-Corp now.

Keys, belt, any metal...

Hey, wait!

Stop!

I should have known you'd show up.

Get out of here!

- Back away! Get down!
- Back away! Get down!

All this time, trying to save the world...

Who's gonna come and save you?
No one's coming to your rescue!

Maggie!

Just get the bastard!

He's gone.

Did you secure the isotope from L-Corp?

No. No, but Henshaw didn't get it, either.
How's Mon-El?

He's not getting better, sweetie.
And we're no closer to a cure.

There's got to be something on that
crystal from the Fortress that'll help.

So far, there's plenty describing how to
synthesize and disseminate the virus.

But I... I don't think
they ever even considered a cure.

- What about Lena Luthor?
- What about her?

Lena's mother took the Kryptonian virus
and synthesized it on Earth.

If Lena is working with her...

Lena was shocked to see Henshaw.
He would've killed her, too.

Ah, the Luthors are pretty good actors.
Or, well, sociopaths.

Either way, they know how to fool people.

No, no. I looked into Lena's eyes.

She doesn't know anything
about Cadmus and her mother.

- I know it.
- Would you stake Mon-El's life on that?

You know that
door's not really an entrance.

Yeah, actually,
I just wanted to thank you for earlier on.

Not only did you save the lives of
countless numbers of my employees,

but mine as well.

- Now, I need your help.
- Anything.

- I need help finding your mother.
- My mother?

Your mother is behind Cadmus.

She's their leader.

- You're lying.
- I'm not.

She kidnapped me.

And now, she possesses a virus
that she could wipe out

the entire alien population
in National City.

I need you to help me find her,

so that she doesn't hurt
any more innocent people.

You know, I thought you were different.

You wear that symbol on your chest
and everyone thinks you're good.

How many times did your cousin
put on that high-and-mighty costume

and come after Lex?

My mother is no saint,

but you come in here and accuse her
of being the Devil incarnate?

How long before you come after me?

I know what it's like
to be disillusioned by our parents.

But I'm a pretty good judge of character.

And you are not like your mother.

She is cold and dangerous.

And you are too good and too smart
to follow in her path.

Be your own hero.

You can leave the same way you came in.

- Sorry. You okay?
- Oh, I'm okay.

Just a little nervous,
you're not very good at this.

Oh, well,
clearly the drugs have kicked in,

because you are done.

- Thank you.
- No.

- Thank you.
- For what?

Well, I told my mom.

You did? How did she take it?

Better than me.

You know, when you...

When you first suggested
that I was gay, I, uh...

I denied it.

And then I thought
that it was just about you.

I mean, how could I not like you?

But, you know, deep down,
I think I still wasn't comfortable

that that was my new normal.

But it is my new normal.

And I'm happy that it is.

Because...

I don't know, I finally... I get me.

And now,
I realize that it wasn't about you,

but it's about me living my life.

So, thank you.

Anytime.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Did you learn a new power
where you can duplicate yourself?

- Because I'm seeing two of you...
- No.

And it's really cool.

No, sorry.
No new powers. Just...

I think the double vision is all you.

- Oh, so, I have a new power?
- Yeah.

Your Earth mother, Eliza,
she thinks I'm dying.

I might not have your hearing,
but mine's pretty good.

She's gonna find a cure.

It's okay.

I've, uh...

I've cheated death
more times than anyone should.

It's not okay, you shouldn't be dying.

The only reason you are dying
is because of my family.

- Eliza did her best.
- No. Not her.

My birth father created Medusa.

He's the reason you are in so much pain,

and he's the reason
that I can't do anything about it.

You know, you look beautiful,

with the weight of all these worlds
on your shoulder.

You don't have to make me feel better.

Yeah.

Absolutely beautiful.

Twice in one day.

It's almost like we have a
real mother-daughter relationship.

The Medusa virus.
That's why you sent your goon here.

For Isotope 454.

You're in charge of Cadmus.

Is this the part where you lecture me,
like you'd lecture Lex?

No.

What you said before,
there was truth in that.

Ask me for my help,
and I'll give it to you.

It's that easy?

It's that easy.

I didn't think you believed in the cause.

Then maybe it's time you got to know
your daughter a little better.

- What is it?
- The radiological alarm.

Isotope 454 has a radioactive signature.

So, I set a program to alert us

if it was ever moved
from the stockpile at L-Corp, and...

- Let me guess. It's moving?
- And how.

Looks like Cadmus is preparing
to release the virus

- at the Port of National City.
- But why?

The Port isn't a drinkable water supply.

It's the perfect place to
launch the virus in the air.

To disperse it right across National City.

Tonight, our nightmare ends.

Tonight, every alien who has stepped foot
on our planet will die.

Because Earth is for the humans.

The future is for the humans.

We are Cadmus.

We have to move. Right now.

Call Alex and get a strike team
to meet me at the Port now.

There's no time, Supergirl.
It's just you and me.

J'onn, you can't go out there.

- If the virus spreads...
- I'll die, I know.

But it's a fate I'm willing to accept.

No. I am not gonna let you do this.

I know you're upset
about what's happening to you,

but I'm not gonna let you go
on some kamikaze mission.

Kara, if I die, I want to die as myself.

Fighting for what I believe in.
Not as some mutant horror show.

Let me share the fate of
my alien brothers and sisters,

come what may.

Some mothers wear lockets
with pictures of their children.

You wear the keys to a bazooka.

It's a rocket launcher.

And it's yours. Take it.

Prove you're with me.

Unleash Medusa, and end
Earth's alien menace once and for all.

- Don't do it, Lena.
- Why not?

I'm a Luthor.

Go, I've got this.

- You two are finished.
- You're wrong about that.

You're a monster,
and I'm gonna send you back to hell.

You're finally right, Henshaw.

I am a monster.

Gotcha!

Oh, my God.

You may be an alien,
but I'm Cyborg Superman!

You may be a cyborg,
but you are no Superman.

I'm coming, M'yri'ah.

They should be dead.

All aliens should be dead.

You. You switched out the isotope.

- You made the virus inert.
- I did.

And I called the police.

- You're okay.
- We all are.

He's gone.

My Lords,
we've reached the Well of Stars.

And?

- There is no sign of the Kryptonian pod.
- Find it.

The ion trail has dissipated.
I would not know where to look.

Find it.

I do not care
how much space we must cross.

How many lives we lose,
or how many suns we burn.

Mon-El of Daxam will be found.

- Am I dead? Is this heaven?
- No.

We were able to reverse engineer a cure
from a living sample of the virus.

And when my mother says "we,"
she really means "she."

But Winn and I watched enthusiastically.

While this is good news,
it gets even better.

The Medusa virus was so easily weaponized,

I was able to turn it
against a common enemy,

J'onn's White Martian blood cells.

J'onn!

You look great!

I feel great. Thank you, Eliza.

My pleasure.

- I'm so glad you're okay.
- Yeah. Me, too.

I don't know what
you would have done without me.

So, are we gonna
talk about what happened?

Yes.

Yes, I want to hear all about
how you chased that missile down.

No, I mean, are we gonna talk
about what happened between us

while you were dying?

I... What? What happened? What did I do?

Uh...

You drooled.

I... No.

You drooled all over yourself.

That's bad.

- But that was it?
- Yeah, that was it.

- Okay.
- Well, get some rest.

- Hey. Hungry?
- Yes.

Come in, please. Ignore the pajamas.

Oh, no, they're cute.

You...

It's late. You got a case, or something?

Oh, God. I could really use a good
old-fashioned murder right now.

You know, I didn't come here for work.

I just... I really needed to

see you and talk to you.

- Is everything okay?
- Mmm...

Um...

Well, here's the thing. I...

I almost died.

Uh, yeah. No, I would not have
let that happen.

Wait. I know that, but, um...

It got me thinking that I...

I was so stupid. I thought that...

And I guess I was kind of right,
that you came out for me.

And that scared me.

Um...

But, um...

But life is too short.

And we should be who we are.

And we should kiss the girls
that we want to kiss.

And I really just...

I... I want to kiss you.

I just...

So, you're saying, you like me. That's...

That's what I got.

Of course.
You're not gonna go crazy on me, are you?

Probably. Yeah.

- This better be the right place.
- It is.

'Cause if this isn't the right place,
someone's about to be real confused.

- Barry?
- Hey.

I knew it.

I knew that was you.

I knew it was you

- in that weird space portal thing!
- Yeah.

I'm sorry.
It took a couple of tries to get here.

This is my friend, Cisco.

Well, friend is a loose term.
We work together.

- Hi. Cisco.
- Hi.

I have to say it,
this is a nice universe you got here.

Thank you.

Okay, do you remember last year,
when I helped you out,

and you promised to do the same for me?

What are we up against?
