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...

My whole life I've been a sidekick.

Watching my dad's camera get destroyed
reminded me of something.

He gave his life protecting this country.

And if I do this, I can honor him.

Mother? Father?

My son.

To new friends.

The portal would help
your planet immensely

and it would help me get home to mine.

Ready to change the world?

You have no idea.

What's the hurry?

Are you okay?

Stay back!

I'm here to help.

Don't hurt me!

James?
Police are on their way, buddy.

You good?

James?

Let's call it a night.

Okay, I mean, I love him. I do.

I love him, but come on!

JT has got to be the only one
holding up the reunion right now.

Oh, obviously.

Here, but let me ask you this, right.

Would you rather have an NSync reunion
or JT and Britney back together?

Oh! My OTP!

That's an impossible question to answer,
and you're cruel for asking.

Yeah. Yeah, well, you know, sometimes
my Luthor genes just shine through.

Hey, thanks for catching lunch with me.

Yeah, well, since I canceled
on you the last three times,

and you said you couldn't get away,
I figured you were worth the extra effort.

Yeah, what's keeping you so busy?

Top secret.

Intriguing.

As soon as I can tell anyone anything,
you will get an exclusive.

- I'm working with a new partner.
- Mmm.

Yeah, she... She's fantastic. It's...

It's like having a mentor, you know?
You... You'll love her. I promise.

You gotta give me something.

I have to have something
to look forward to.

Okay, something to look forward to.

What do you know
about quantum entanglement?

Quantum what?

Polyatomic anions?

Well, when you see what we're doing
with them, it will blow you away.

Well, I can't wait.

Oh. Oh.

Actually, this... This is her.

- All right, I'm gonna have to go...
- Oh. Okay.

...'cause we're doing
our first test today.

Oh! It was so good to see you.

Next time, lunch is on me.

Okay, cool. Bye.

Thanks, brother.

Hey! Hey! Look who it is.

You know what,
I love these falafels, do you?

Because they're like the best
in the city, I gotta say.

Yeah, they are the best in the city.

You know that because
I told you about this falafel stand.

Oh, yes. Yes, you did.

And I'm totally stalking you
because, dude, what happened?

Last night, you were just...
You were just like "one and done"?

That's not like you.

In all honesty,

that woman was more afraid of Guardian
than she was of her attackers.

That can't be true.

No, dude, you didn't see her.

I'm sure she was in shock.

Yeah, but it's... It's bigger than that.

It's... It's happening a lot.

Some people see this
big guy in a scary mask

and they freak out, they run away.

Just like Clark's friend.

Oh, you mean...

I feel like they're more frenemies.

You know what I mean.

It's just that Guardian is not...

He's not this beacon of hope
that I thought he would be.

I mean, basically,
all I'm doing is beating people up.

No! Dude, we are...
We are doing a lot of good here.

We... We're making a difference.

I mean, Supergirl, Superman,
they're making a difference.

They're changing hearts and minds.
They inspire people.

Guardian inspires fear.

Ma'am?

Whoa! Was that an earthquake?

Ma'am, stop what you're doing.

Everybody get out of here!
Go, go, go, go, go!

Get out of here. Get out of here. Go!

This is Agent Schott.

We have a hostile telekinetic
in Simmons Square.

Let's go! Get out of here!

Watch out!

Move, move, move, move,
move, move, move, move!

Hey, where'd the alien go?

She's gone.

I don't know.

Authorities are investigating
a targeted alien terrorist attack

that occurred earlier today.

Law enforcement has no leads
on the identity of the alien or motive,

but tensions are on the rise
as fear of another attack...

If the news keeps stirring up fear,

there's going to be a witch hunt
for whoever this alien is.

Things could get out of hand very fast.

Okay, so we figured out
what kind of alien she is.

- She is a Phorian.
- A what?

I never realized any had taken
refuge here on Earth.

Historically, they're
a peaceful race of aliens.

Today, not so peaceful.

Well, thank God Supergirl was there.
Hundreds could've been hurt.

Normally, their
telekinetic powers are benign.

I've never heard of a Phorian
doing so much damage.

And they're also
telepathic, like Martians.

They're connected through their thoughts.

Do you think more of them will attack?

For now, let's just treat this
as a lone-wolf situation.

So how do we find her?

Supergirl and Mon-El
are out surveying the city

to see if they can come with anything.

I'd be happy to help.

I can get out there and see
if there's any leads.

Mr. Olsen, you've been very helpful,
but this is a DEO matter.

We'll let you know if we need
Guardian's skill set, but for now...

I got it.

Today was just our first test.

You can't expect it to be perfect
on the first attempt.

I quadruple-checked
my calculations on this.

Okay, the reaction
of the polyatomic anions

was supposed to be strong enough
to spark the core of the generator.

Neither of us has gotten
to where we are without persistence.

If I can't make this work,

we won't be able to power
the portal that we're building.

This was supposed to revolutionize
the way everything was transported,

eliminate famine,
the need for fossil fuels.

I wanted to help my planet.
And get you home to yours.

And you will.

You're making advancements in science

that most people on Earth
could not even dream of.

No one said it would be easy.

What if I can't make it work?

What if I can't get you home?

I have confidence in you, Lena.

I am going to go to the test facility
to check the progress of the portal.

I know you don't believe it yet,
but you are going to make this work.

Oh! Dude!

That'll be $20.

Where do you people come from?

Please don't shoot me.

Oh! Come on!
It's just a little bag of weed.

It's for my anxiety.

I was kidnapped recently.
I'm very, very tense!

But wait,
you know the attack on Simmons Square?

Yeah, what about it?

That woman.

The one with all the crazy powers?

Everyone's looking for her, right?
I know where she lives.

Wait.

It's okay. I'm not going to hurt you.

It's all right, see?

I'm not going to hurt you.

We've been in here a long time.

You must be hungry.

Mmm. This a really good burger.

Okay.

I know you don't want to be here with me.

I'm just trying to help you, Marcus.

I'm trying to help you and your mom.
I promise you that.

But the authorities are after her
because she did a bad thing.

And if you help us find her,

then we can protect her
from doing something bad to somebody else.

So do you have any idea
where she could be?

Maybe she should give him, like,
some action figures.

Right?

Like if somebody
had given me action figures

when they interrogated me
about my dad, when I was 10,

like, I would've sung
like a canary. I'm just sayin'.

Look, this kid is completely shut down.

And pulling him into an interrogation room
like some criminal off the street,

I don't think it's the best way
to get him to open up.

So, you're not only a masked vigilante
and a photographer,

you're also a child psychologist now.

I'm just saying, this kid's life
has been upended badly.

Okay, first he's a refugee.

Then his mom ends up missing.

And if he's turned on
the TV at all since yesterday,

all he's seen are adults
yelling about her, calling for blood.

I wouldn't trust anybody either,
if I was this kid.

James is right.

I've been in there for hours, and
all he does is just stare at the camera.

He's looking at you.

At... At me? Through a wall, Alex?

He's an alien with telekinetic
and telepathic powers.

Look at that. It's like the...
It's like the Mona Lisa.

You said that he connected with you.

He thought the Guardian was a monster,
and then I took my helmet off.

I guess he saw someone
who looked like him.

He identified with you, James.

Are you saying you want Mr. Olsen
to question the boy?

Well, Marcus doesn't trust me.

Okay, but he could trust James.

I mean, out of here.
In a more conducive environment.

We have to find his mother,
before she attacks again.

If I can help this kid, I'd like to.

All right.

Take the day and see if you can find out
where the boy's mother is.

We'll check in with you later.

Hey.

You'd be good with him.

- Hey, buddy. Uh...
- Hey!

Hey, scanning is a thing
you like, you do here, right?

Yes.

Yes, here at the DEO,
we scan for many things.

Mmm-hmm. So, you could, like,
you could, like, press a button

and it would scan the Earth's orbit
for, like, my parents' ship.

I certainly could, but I already did that
when they let us back to Earth.

I tracked their progress
as they went out of Earth's atmosphere

and flew away to Daxam. Bye-bye.

Can you show me how you did that?

Yeah!

See? Look.

It's a bunch of satellites.
The skies are clear.

Yeah, good.
That's what I thought. That's good.

Still isn't working?

Was it me throwing it down in disgust
or the sparks that gave it away?

Can you give us a minute?

Failure is a part of the process, Lena.
I told you this was going to take time.

It's not about time.
I'm just not getting it.

You know, maybe we should
pay a visit to Stryker Island.

Get Lex Luthor to come in
and save the day.

You think he could get this working?

Lex was the genius
who was supposed to save the world.

You know, I...
I just thought if I could make this work,

I would prove to the world

and to my mother that
I was as good as the golden boy.

I think most of all,
I just wanted to prove it to myself.

You don't have to prove anything.

You're smarter than Lex.

No, I'm not saying that
to make you feel better.

I'm saying it as a scientist.

As someone who knows.

But you need to stop
trying to think like your brother.

From what you've told me about Lex,
he's a man who's concerned with power.

And that's how
you've been trying to fix this.

Give it more power,
you think it will work.

Yeah, but it just keeps blowing.

But you're not a person
who's consumed with power, are you?

So, if you weren't trying to do
what Lex would do,

what would you do?

I'd try to find a way
to increase the anion input

without overloading the energy output.

All while maintaining the element
synthesis rate at a constant.

Not power. Balance.

All right, just to the right, buddy.

- James!
- Hey!

Marcus, this is my friend Kara.
She's a reporter here at CatCo.

Hey, Marcus. How you doing?

How are you doing?

I'm good. This is... This is good.

Good. Bye, Marcus.

Eve, would you mind clearing my afternoon?

Absolutely, Mr. Olsen.
And who do we have here?

We have here... We have here...
My nephew. Marcus.

Marcus.

Is there anything I could get for you
or your nephew?

Yeah, you know what, actually,

a couple of milkshakes and some
curly fries from Noonan's would be great.

- Sure thing.
- Thank you.

You're going to love the curly fries.
Have you ever had curly fries?

Well, you're gonna love them. This way.

You ever seen one of those before?

You take these two knobs

and you try to get this metal ball
from one side to the other.

Ah!

Wanna try?

Okay.

Well, I guess that's one way of doing it.

That's the same model

that Spider Martin used to document
the Civil Rights Movement.

You know what
the Civil Rights Movement is?

Never mind.

Anyway, I... I bought this with my
first paycheck I got from selling a photo.

Here.

There, try that.

It's cool, right?

That one? Yeah, I've had this one forever.

My dad got it for me.

It's the one that inspired me
to be a photographer in the first place.

He gave it to me
right before he passed away.

He was a soldier.

My father was a soldier, too.

Marcus, where is your father?

He died when we were escaping our planet.

I'm really sorry to hear that.

I know how that can be.

It can be beyond hard.

Hey!

Do we have a date?

No, no, no, no.
No, I just thought I'd surprise you.

We've got egg rolls
and potstickers, shu mai...

- Oh!
- It's a veritable pu-pu platter.

- Ooh!
- I love saying that. "Pu-pu platter."

Surprise.

Did you rip the seat off
the toilet in my loft again

and now you're just bringing Chinese food
so you don't get in trouble?

- That was once. That was one time.
- Mmm-hmm.

And in my defense, you can be pretty scary

when it comes to enforcing
bathroom etiquette.

No, I, um...

I thought I saw my mother last night.

I didn't. Don't worry.

Winn checked and my parents' ship
definitely left for Daxam a few weeks ago.

But thinking I saw her,
I thought it would make me feel anger.

But I felt other... Other stuff.

I just... I hate...
I hate that I still care about her.

Hey.

We can't will ourselves
to not feel anything.

Life doesn't work like that.

Well, on Daxam,
that's exactly what we'd do.

We'd drug ourselves
so we literally didn't feel anything.

You're allowed to miss her.
She's your mother.

Well, she's gone forever. So...

If my mother had given me
pep talks like you,

imagine the things I could've done.

I'm happy to have mused you.

But trust me, it isn't always easy
being the parent we aspire to be.

Shall we test it again?

Let me just plug in the algorithm
and fire it up.

All right, so what you wanna do is
twist that and lock it in.

There you go, you're a natural.

Can I take a picture of you?

Of course.

My mother would never
hurt anybody on purpose.

Do you know where she is?

Hey, hey!

Hey. Marcus, give me one second.

Well, here goes nothing.

You didn't say what flavor
for your nephew,

so I got chocolate and vanilla.

- I'm sure that'll be fine.
- Okay.

What is your nephew doing?

Marcus...

Marcus!

James!

Someone help!

Power's running smoothly to the core.
Anions are reacting at a steady rate.

Go!

There you go. Go, get out of here!
Come on! Go, go!

The building's coming down.

How do we stop him?

It's working.

We did it.

You did it.

It's okay, I've got you. I've got you.
You're gonna be okay.

He wasn't in control of himself.

It was like something
was in control of him.

Do you think the same thing
happened to his mother, too?

Maybe she's not the perpetrator
we thought, but the victim.

Just like Marcus.

Either way, we'll need
to keep him in that cell for now.

It's equipped with a telekinetic dampener,

which should prevent him
from having another episode.

Well, he's safe,
but his mother's still out there.

We need to get him
to tell us where she is.

Well, our best chance
at that now is Mr. Olsen.

James?

I spent the entire day with that kid
and all I got was a couple sentences.

You were right, J'onn.

This is a DEO matter.
I should not have involved myself.

James!

Look, I know what I said earlier on,

but we could really use your help here.

It has to be you.

Why, because I'm black?

But you look the same as he does, too.
Why don't you talk to him?

It's more than that.
He sees something in you.

I brought him to CatCo
and I risked everybody's safety.

Yeah, Supergirl had to
come save everybody.

Me, him.

She kept everybody safe
and I had no idea what to do.

You know, I remember that feeling.

On Mars, we were encouraged
to decide our line of work

when we were very young.

Everyone had no problem
pinpointing their futures.

I didn't know what I wanted to do.
Was just waiting for a sign.

Did you find one?

My first daughter.

When she came along, I finally realized
I had a mission in life.

I had someone who relied on me.

Having her gave me direction.

Protecting her made me realize
I had a gift for keeping people safe.

So I joined the law enforcement on Mars.

I became the Martian Manhunter.

And you think me talking to Marcus
would give me that kind of purpose?

I saw a reflection of myself
in my daughter.

I think you already see
a reflection of yourself in him.

You want to find out
what kind of hero you can be?

Right here is a great place to start.

We've been searching
the city for signs of another attack.

Nothing yet.

Have you two found anything?

We looked into the Phorian's physiology.

Turns out that a major shift
in atmospheric energy

- can cause a change in their mental state.
- Yeah.

Well, what causes a shift like that?

Okay, so this measures
electromagnetic activity around the city.

There was a large spike around the time

of the first fight
in the street yesterday.

And let me guess,

another spike during
the attack on CatCo today?

Hey, good guess.

But that spike was about
five times the size.

Have we determined what caused the spike?

Yes. High levels of polyatomic anions
released into the atmosphere.

Wait, I saw Lena and she said
she's working on a new project.

She mentioned those anions.

That can't be a coincidence, can it?

Definitely not.

I'm gonna call Lena.

Hello, Supergirl.

Rhea?

You sound surprised.

Trace the call.

If you've done anything to Lena, I...

You'll what? Lecture me?

We will find you.

You have no idea where I am
or what I'm doing.

How does it feel to be powerless?

If this is about Mon-El,

you have to come to terms with the fact
that he chose to stay here.

No, he made a choice to come home,
to be king to his people.

And we would have been happy to go,
but you were too selfish to allow that.

What's she saying?

Everything I do, I do for my people.

Everything you do for yours
is to bolster your broken ego.

You need this planet to worship you,

the last daughter of a failed world,

because otherwise,
your survival means nothing.

You're delusional.

No, on the contrary,
I see everything clearly.

I came here in peace, which you refused.

And all of the ugliness that's transpired

is because of your
righteousness, Kara Zor-El.

Everything that happens
from now on is your doing.

Every city that burns,
every nation that falls,

for every child of Earth that cries out,
"Why is this happening?"

The answer is Supergirl.

Kara has done nothing, okay?
This is all you.

Ugh. Of course, you're there with her.

The Kryptonian girl who bewitched you.

Mother, you're mad at me here, okay?

Don't take it out on this planet.
You're better than this.

Anger has nothing
to do with what I'm doing.

Then why? Why are you still here?

I'm here to wake you up, Mon-El.

Did you manage to trace the call?

No, there's too much
electromagnetic interference.

Was that my phone?

Yeah. Telemarketer.

Hey, Marcus.

Look, I know that
you didn't mean to attack everybody

the way that you did before.

Okay?

Neither did your mom.

Look, all I'm trying to do

is make sure that everybody
who saw her picture in the news

knows that's not the real her, right?

Every planet we go to,
they make us go away.

What do you mean?

They always try to hurt us.

They think we're bad.

I thought it'll be different here.
I liked it here.

When I was a kid, I used to get bullied.

You see, I went to a school

where there weren't a lot of people
who looked like me.

And then when my dad died,
it just got a lot worse.

You see, he was... He was my Guardian.

Yeah, he was the guy
that made me feel safe.

So after he was gone, I just...
I put up this wall.

And I didn't let anybody in.

Until I moved to Metropolis,
and then I made a new friend.

And this guy was different, too.

And I didn't realize how different he was,

I just knew that he understood something
that most people didn't.

And because of that, I trusted him.

And eventually, I let him in.

Do you know what happened?

That wall came down.

You see, Marcus,

sometimes you can meet somebody
and they can become your friend.

And by trusting them,
everything in your life can change.

I can see her.

My mom.

Can you?

But I don't know where she is.
It's somewhere I've never seen before.

Can you take me to her?

You'll protect her?

I will protect you both. I promise.

Okay, we're now monitoring

all electromagnetic activity
within the region.

If anyone powers up this device,
we're gonna know exactly where they are.

Good. Then we can strike.

Marcus knows where his mom is,
but he's gotta take us to her.

I'm afraid I can't let him out of here.

Mon-El's mother created
some sort of device with Lena Luthor.

She could set it off at any moment.

It's just not safe for Marcus
outside of containment.

But his mom is still out there.

I could go with them.

I have a mobile version
of that telekinetic dampener.

It should have plenty of juice to keep
Marcus and his mom from going all Carrie.

I'm sorry, guys, it's too risky.

J'onn, you said that you found
your mission with your daughter.

This is mine.

Be safe, James.

Thank you. Let's go.

Marcus, be careful.

Mom?

- Whoa! Whoa!
- Marcus!

Mom?

Marcus?

Mom!

No, no, Mom, these are my friends.
They helped me find you.

Thank you.

Look, we know that you did not attack
the Square on purpose.

It's okay, you're safe now.

How?

This bad boy is gonna protect you.

All of us?

All of you?

Tomorrow we can begin the material trials.

I keep forgetting that success
means that you're leaving.

Working with you has meant so much to me.

Me, too.

Whatever happens next,

I want you to remember
never to doubt yourself again.

You are a marvel, Lena.

Any mother should be proud
to call you daughter.

Wait, wait, what are you...
What are you doing?

We got something!
A huge release of anions.

- Where?
- San Isidro Valley.

- You got a satellite image for that?
- Yeah.

- What is that?
- Let's go.

Right on.

My mother...

I know this is going to be hard.
You don't have to do this.

No, I have to. I just...
I need to grab something first.

Marcus?

I don't think it's working, Winn.

Oh!

There's too many of them.

This isn't working.

- What's wrong with it?
- It's made for two, not 12!

We gotta get out of here!

This much telekinetic energy
between these Phorians,

the entire city is in danger!

I am not leaving him!

Well, what do you wanna do?

Well, they're linked
telepathically, right?

Yeah.

So if I break through to him,
maybe he can break through to them.

Okay, go!

Why won't it shut down? What did you do?

What I had to do for my people.

I want you to know
the affection I have for you is real.

Turn it off!

I can't.

- Why won't it turn off?
- I don't know.

She must have made it
self-sustaining somehow.

What did you do, Mother?

Marcus!

I need you to look at me!

I told you I would
keep you and your mother safe

and I am not breaking that promise!

You're bringing something here.

What?

You'll see.

Marcus! I need you to hear me!

I need you to let me in
like you would let a real friend in.

James, it's not working!
We have to get out of here!

I'm not leaving him!

You don't mess with my family.

What is that?

A White Martian gave me this.

What are you doing?

The White Martians
developed this technology

in order to keep
the Greens under their control.

It traps the Martian in his own mind.

A never-ending nightmare.

Pretty savvy, if you ask me.

J'onn! J'onn!

You've learned a lot of things
about this world, Mother.

I've had to.

And did you learn that
we're not bulletproof here?

James!

You just have to look inside of yourself

and see the strength
and the courage that I see in you!

You're not alone.

You are not alone!

That is a hero without a suit.

Put the gun down, Mon-El.
You don't want to hurt me.

Shut up!

The Kryptonian girl was right.

You are a hero of Earth.

Would a hero kill his own mother?

When you were a boy,
and I would put you to sleep at night,

you used to say to me
that you would always love me.

And even though
you've turned your back on me,

I know you love me.

Where's Father?

Where is my father?

Your father was so hurt
when you abandoned us

that he took his own life.

No.

Mon-El,
you are not going to kill me.

Whatever you think of me,
I'm still your mother.

We were not the only people
to escape the destruction of our planet.

Thousands of Daxamites survived.

Hundreds of ships
spread across the galaxy.

They just needed a way to get here.

- Agent Danvers.
- Yeah?

We have multiple bogies
heading into National City.

- How many?
- Twenty-five...

No. Fifty. A hundred. Maybe more.
What's happening?

Welcome to New Daxam.
