Original subtitles

My name is Kara Zor-El.

I'm from Krypton.

I'm a refugee on this planet.

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 adopted sister

and my friends to protect my city from

anyone that means to cause it harm.

I am Supergirl.

Previously on Supergirl...

We're in a race against Nyxly to find seven Totems

before she can use them to wipe us out of existence.

Courage, Humanity, Truth,

Destiny, Love, Dreams and Hope.

We now have three of the seven Totems in our possession.

Humanity, Hope and Courage.

And Nyxly has none.

Nia hasn't had any luck in Parthas finding the Dream Totem.

Supergirl destroyed the Hope Totem.

Now the AllStone will never be whole.

"A secret admirer"?

You didn't choose to be the sister with powers.

They're supposed to be passed down from mother to daughter.

So how did someone like you get them?

You're not even a real woman.

- And she took everything? - Mmm-hmm.

But what my dad didn't tell me was that

apparently he and Maeve

got into some big blowout fight over

what she said to me at Mom's funeral.

In other words, he took your side

when she denied your identity.

Of course he did. So she skipped town,

took all of Mom's books and journals and research with her.

So my search for the Dream Totem was a bust.

I'm back to square one.

Then perhaps we should consider a fresh start.

You've been so focused on finding the Dream Totem,

maybe you should cast a wider net.

Simply open yourself to whatever the Dream Realm shows you.

Hmm, seems kind of vague.

If you doubt me,

try my spinach pancakes.

Hmm?

Taste my genius.

Fine.

You okay?

Yes, it worked.

I saw an address.

Um... Crippen University.

- What do you think it means? - I don't know.

But whatever is there is going to help me find the Totem.

Hmm.

I know you went green full-time because William's been at the Tower

but, um, you should stick with it.

It makes you a better cook.

Hmm.

Interesting frock you got me.

Who are you?

Your secret admirer sent you more than a frock.

He sent me.

Can't you tell, Princess Nyxlygsptlnz?

I'm you.

Me?

That's impossible.

Is it?

When you were in your tenth year,

you had a crush on Mxyzptlk's cousin,

Duke Nzykmlk.

You'd whisper his name to your pillow.

Never told anyone, did you?

How did you...

I can't tell you yet.

For now, let's simply say I know you think all is lost.

But you can have everything you want.

All we have to do is claim the Dream Totem.

And I know how.

So are you ready to believe in yourself?

Okay.

I come bearing gifts.

This is for you.

This for you.

And of course, last but not least, Supergirl.

Oh, my gosh.

My niece is one heck of an artist.

I think you mean my granddaughter.

Oh, is that her and you?

When do Esme and Kelly get back from Calvintown?

After the weekend.

Kelly wants to give Esme the full Olsen family experience.

So catching fireflies, climbing trees, the enormous chili bowls.

So, if things stay as calm as they have been,

I think I'm just gonna go back and join 'em.

Yeah, I guess destroying the Hope Totem

and having Brainy hide the rest was the right move.

And now I even have time for my interview.

- What interview? - Well, you know, Kaznia

and Corto Maltese agreed to a truce last week.

Well, now, Prime Minister Perez and President Zakharov are in town

negotiating the official treaty.

Yeah, and my sources have told me that things are getting tense.

But then I remembered this interview Larry King did years ago

with three Middle Eastern leaders.

Yeah, that was Arafat, Rabin and King Hussein of Jordan.

They called it "World Diplomacy Live."

I remember that. Were you on Earth back then?

No, I was actually in my pod, but I saw it.

I just remember being so moved that a reporter

could be a part of something so momentous.

So I went out on a limb and asked Cat if she'd be willing

to introduce me to the president and prime minister

and she said, "Yes."

And now CatCo has the chance to do something just like that.

A once-in-a-generation interview

that will show that even in these contentious times,

two enemies were able to cross the divide

and come together and help the Super Friends,

by eliminating both countries' threats and, most importantly,

how when people really set their minds to it,

real peace is possible.

Wow.

That is inspiring.

But not really interesting, is it?

What?

Well, this could be historic.

Oh, I know.

We'll hype it as our version of Oprah and the Royals.

"Kara Danvers and the heads of state."

We'll put it on all the platforms. Our foreign markets will boom.

Okay, but I-I really think you're not getting this.

Oh, but I am. Tomorrow at the Civic Center,

we will have a full crew to support your broadcast.

Anything you need before then, you let me know.

Okay. Bye.

All right, Doctor Revee. Let's see what you can tell me.

Maeve?

You tracked me down?

Don't flatter yourself.

I didn't know it was you.

The name change made sure of that.

A dream led me here.

Well, since you're here...

I've been thinking about things and...

Look, I owe you an apology.

- What I said to you at Mom's funeral... - Don't.

Um...

I'm not here to talk about that.

My dream showed me that something here

would lead me to the Fifth-Dimensional Totem of Dreaming.

The Dream Totem?

- It's real? - What do you know about it?

Allegedly, it's a relic from another dimension

that can bestow Dream power to whoever wields it.

- Do you know where it is? - It's in the Dream Realm, supposedly.

But why are you looking for it?

The fate of the universe depends on me finding it before Nyxly does.

I need you to tell me everything that you know about this.

Really?

Yeah, that's like me asking you to tell

me everything you know about journalism.

Okay. Is there a book I could read?

Sure.

Right here.

Great.

Which one?

All of them.

I think that is the fastest I've ever seen anyone watch a video.

Yeah, it's 1.5 speed.

It gets easier to follow once you're used to it.

- What's up? - Well, I heard about your scoop

and I wanted to offer my services as a partner for mock interviews.

Back in London, I was The Time's point man on Kaznia,

but I also did a big piece on the corruption in Corto Maltese.

Yeah, that'd be great.

And I will take you up on as many practice interviews as I can get.

Starting this afternoon.

Because right now I'm researching.

That is the cardinal rule of interviewing.

Research, research, research.

Right.

Hmm.

What does a sleeping man have to

do with me getting the Dream Totem?

Dr. Pavoni has created a machine to get into the Dream Realm.

All you need to do is access the machine

and you can use the gauntlet to access the Dream Realm.

All right.

No rest for the wicked, Nyxly.

Use the gauntlet.

Now use your Dream energy hand to create the portal.

Get into the Dream portal.

Hear that? Sounds like something's coming.

Nyxly's gone.

Supergirl, J'onn. Brainy just updated us.

You're chasing a "Nightmare monster?"

Yes, and it's headed toward a nuclear plant.

Bringing up the coordinates now.

If it attacks the plant and the core is compromised,

that entire area will be exposed to radiation.

J'onn, can you calm the creature?

Nothing I can do is stopping it.

It's almost at the power plant.

Lena, what about something from your mother's book of spells?

Magic doesn't work that way. It's a process and I'm still learning.

I could try something old-school.

When Lex was at the DEO,

he developed a satellite-based force

field that could wall off an entire city.

If I could bypass the satellite's security

and re-route Dreamer's adaptors to the feed,

I could put up a dome that not even that creature could get through.

Okay, but that'll trap that thing in with half the city.

Do we have a choice?

Supergirl?

Do it!

We did it. We trapped it.

But now it's invisible.

Writings on the Minoan Oracle of Delphi suggest the Dream Totem was housed

in their main temple.

When the Dorians invaded in 1100 BC,

the Oracle hid the Totem in the safest place she could think of.

Dream Realm.

Is there anything in there that says what the Dream Totems might be?

None that I'm seeing.

But since the Totem was housed by the Minoans,

the gauntlet may have been replaced with a kind of maze.

Lucky for us,

Mom was infatuated with how Earth's cultures

depicted the Dream Realms.

Which led her to uncover this.

It's a medieval tapestry that supposedly depicts

the Oracle's original instructions.

Allegedly, it can be deciphered only by one of pure heart,

mind and sight.

And you understand all this?

I've been studying these things my whole life.

Like this.

It's a Naltorian symbol for purity.

Same as this.

Where'd you get it?

Mom.

She said it would help light up my dreams

back when everyone thought I'd be the Dreamer.

It didn't do that, but it did help spark my interest in all of this.

Must be nice.

Having something to guide you during unknown times.

It is.

Especially when your whole world gets flipped upside-down

because someone's keeping secrets.

So what does the tree mean?

Given its position,

probably that the journey to the Dream Totem

starts in a forest somewhere.

Lately, when I've been entering my dreams, I start in this forest.

- Could that be it? - It could.

And what about these other symbols? What do they mean?

To decipher the tapestry,

you have to be able to see the Dream Realm.

So it's difficult for me to say, but there are some books

that can help...

You kept news clippings about me?

I might be furious with you,

but you are still my sister.

I have to take all of these?

Plus a few more.

Or you could come with me.

Really?

Look, like it or not,

I can't decipher this tapestry without you.

And if I can't do that,

then there's no way I'm going to find the Totem.

Just wanna text Brainy and let him know the plan.

My boyfriend, he's a twelfth-level intellect.

Are you coming?

I crisscrossed the dome a dozen times

and couldn't find that thing anywhere.

- Please tell me you had better luck. - Unfortunately not.

It appears that when the creature goes invisible,

its energy signature does, too.

My sense is it's either scared or hiding.

Better that than terrorizing the locals.

And people seem to be staying inside,

but who knows how long that'll last?

- We need to fix this now. - Right.

- How's it going over here? - Very slowly.

When Brainy took Dr. Pavoni from the sleep lab to the hospital,

he discovered that his device actually allows you

to look into people's dream spaces.

So Nyxly was able to piggyback on

that to get back in the Dream Realm.

I'm hoping if we combine the doctor's device

with our portal technology,

we can create what Nyxly did so we can go in after her.

Nyxly tricked Nia to get out of the Dream Realm,

why would she want to go back in?

Because that's where the Dream Totem is.

Nia had a dream flash that led to her sister, Maeve,

who told her the Dream Totem is in there.

She texted saying that they're entering

the Realm now to go look for it.

If Nyxly gets her hand on that Dream Totem,

she could access Dream Powers even without the other Totems.

That could make her unstoppable.

We need to get that portal up and running fast.

Uh, hey, William. Yeah, of course

- we're still on for the mock interview. - Go. Go.

Lena and Brainy can handle the portal.

Alex and I will handle the creature.

We'll call when we have something.

Okay, William, I'll see you soon.

This forest reminds me of that camping trip

Mom took us on in middle school.

She forgot all the flashlights so we had to sit in the dark all night.

The trees kept scratching the tent and you were terrified

because you thought it was some witch coming to get us.

How much further do we have?

I think we might have to go beyond the forest.

Beyond?

There is an entire Dream Expanse out there.

You've never accessed it?

Haven't you read Of Dreams Beyond or anything M.K. Nessler?

You know, it wouldn't kill you to

crack open a book every once in a while.

Okay, Maeve, if you're such an expert,

how do you access the Dream Expanse?

Don't turn this around on me.

- Stop. - You stop.

Your necklace is glowing. Go back to the tree.

It's never done that before.

What do you think it means?

We found it.

The Dream Expanse.

Mr. President...

while some feel Corto Maltese is

to blame for the recent hostilities,

others say it's Kaznia's economic

sanctions that started the tension.

Will you admit there's some truth to that?

My opinion is not the issue.

What matters is the actions of the countries involved.

Next question.

- Uh... Okay. I guess... - Don't let them duck the question.

Make them confront it.

William is absolutely right.

Especially since I just arranged for an off-the-books meeting

between you and the chief Kaznian treaty negotiator.

- What? - His other plans got canceled

because of this ridiculous dome.

Meeting's at 2:00 this afternoon at Noonan's on Main.

Yeah, of course. Yes, I will be there. Thank you.

- You really are having a day of days. - Yeah.

The governor is demanding

Supergirl and the Super Friends take down the dome

they've constructed in National City.

What they did with that dome was madness.

- What who did? - The Super Friends.

I know they mean well and they're dealing

with Nyxly on top of everything else,

but, they did erect a dome over

half the city without consulting anyone.

But there was no time to.

That creature was going to destroy a nuclear plant.

Of course. I'm not arguing that.

But now I'm hearing stories that

employees are being cut off from work.

Parents separated from children.

I just hope the Super Friends' recent success hasn't gone to their head.

No, it hasn't. It hasn't. They can handle this.

Like I can handle you, President Zakharov.

The spires of light represent the dreams of everyone on Earth.

But only one houses the Dream Totem.

The lit path will lead us there.

Right, where is this bloody path?

We'll come to it soon enough.

We've passed these spires before. I'm heading back.

- What was that? - I don't know.

I suppose you could go investigate and face a nightmare.

Or you could go back the way I told you to.

I know trust is hard, but maybe take a look around the corner.

- Is that... - Nia Nal and her sister.

Huh.

Maybe you're not so bad after all.

Like I said, Governor, we didn't have a choice in this.

And like I said, if you won't take your dome down,

the National Guard will.

This situation is above the National Guard, okay?

This creature is from the Dream Realm. Bullets can't harm it.

And from what we can tell, Dream energy

is very similar to nuclear energy.

So if you take that dome down,

it's going to go straight back for the plant

- making matters even worse. - Worse?

Than trapping thousands of citizens in a bubble

with some other-dimensional terror?

My phone is ringing off the hook with people locked indoors,

sheltering in place, not knowing when

they're going to see their family again.

Governor, I assure you, we're working on a device

that will allow us to transport the

creature back to where it came from.

And when will that be ready?

- Twenty-four hours. - You have 12.

Alex, we're not 12 hours away from completing this.

- How long then? - Uncertain.

Restructuring Dream tech requires massive concentration.

Brainy's just distracted because there's no word from Nia yet.

I'm not distracted. I'm appropriately concerned.

Ah!

Brainy...

Is that the creature?

No, that is a mob trying to escape the dome.

- Supergirl, we have a situation. - Where?

I think I've figured something out.

Do you see these small diamond shapes here?

Little ones around the big one?

I always assumed they were decorative, like a frame.

What if these small diamonds represent these spires, here?

Guess it's possible.

And if that's true, then maybe this big diamond in the center

isn't just a symbol of the Dream Totem.

It's the actual location.

I know looking for a giant Dream

spire in the middle of this place

is like looking for a big tree in an endless forest.

At least it's something.

Just wish we could get a better view.

I may have a way.

Wow.

That was amazing.

- Did Mom teach you how to do this? - No.

I figured it out by myself.

So, do you see any spires that look bigger than the others?

No.

There's one that's more...

gold.

- Maeve, that's it, we found it. - We did.

We should get moving.

Supergirl calmed rioters at the dome last night

but tensions are still rising as people try and get out.

Our government is calling for people not to intervene,

remain indoors as our National Guard averts the crisis.

Hey. What are you doing here?

Your interview's in less than an hour.

I know. But that riot broke out last

night because people are furious

at being trapped inside with the monster.

After I broke it up, I couldn't not search for it.

And?

Still nothing.

Where are Brainy and Lena with the Dream portal?

Well, they figured out the interface,

and they think activating it

might function like a beacon drawing the creature to it.

The question is, will they be done before the Guard moves in?

Did Governor Pena say if she would grant an extension?

I haven't heard anything back yet.

It's Andrea.

Kara, you didn't show up for the meeting I arranged yesterday.

I know. I know, I, uh...

Something came up and I had to

cancel, but I let the negotiator know.

No, no, I don't wanna hear excuses.

Kara, you're one of the most talented reporters I have ever seen.

So often I give you leeway.

I don't ask where you go

when you leave the office in the middle of the day.

I don't get upset when you disappear for weeks on end

saying you're working on a huge story with Cat Grant

only to return empty-handed.

Because your work is usually flawless.

But lately, Kara, you're not here and it's beginning to show.

You told me that an interview showing these two leaders

coming together peacefully could inspire the world.

- It... It can. It will. - Then start acting like it.

I'll see you at the Civic Center in 30 minutes.

Don't be late.

Hey. What's going on?

Is everything okay with the interview?

Uh...

I just...

Um...

It will be.

I just feel like...

ever since I got back from the Phantom Zone,

ever since Nyxly arrived,

I feel like I have been one step behind on everything.

And the stakes are so high, like, if we make one wrong move,

it could mean literally the end of everything.

We are not going to let that happen.

We just have to take things one step at a time.

And step one is you need to get your butt to that interview.

We will take care of the nightmare creature.

And step two, we need to take this freaking imp down.

Governor, you're making a big mistake.

If you breach the dome, the creature might run.

And then we may never find it

until it does who knows what sort of damage.

We are on the verge of being able to send it back.

Governor?

What's up?

Apparently, the governor has been liaising with the Air Force.

In one hour, the Luthor Corp satellites

that have been sustaining the dome will be shut down.

A group of National Guardsmen will be charging in.

Okay, well, one hour is within the time frame

that Lena said she and Brainy would be done.

- So we can still do this? - Yeah.

But first, I think you need to do something.

William, what are you doing here?

My contact at the Capitol told me about the governor's plan

so I thought I'd come here to get a statement that might help

bring down the heat.

The governor is scared.

The people are scared.

In the past few weeks, this city has seen buildings explode,

giant cats, mass riots...

And now a dome, with Nyxly and a nightmare monster.

What everyone needs is to hear a calm and clear voice.

William.

J'onn and I are more than happy to make a...

Supergirl was there when the dome went up.

The people need to hear from the Girl of Steel herself.

I don't have time to make comments. I'm sorry.

This is it.

The Dream Totem should be in this spire.

Maeve, wait.

If the Oracle put the Totem in this spire for protection,

we need to be ready for anything.

So what do we do?

Let me take the lead.

There it is.

The Dream Totem.

I'll grab it, then we can get out of here.

Maeve?

You're not pure, Maeve Nal.

You're a traitor to your blood, to

try to take her power for your own.

It was supposed to be mine.

I worked my entire life towards becoming the Dreamer.

Studying, preparing... Every decision I ever made was for that.

It was my purpose, my identity.

- And you took it. - I didn't have a choice.

I tried to transfer the powers to you, I told you that.

But I couldn't.

So what do you want me to say?

That...

That you should be the Dreamer?

That I don't know what I'm doing most of the time?

That I'm in over my head?

- Honesty, finally. - Oh, you want honesty?

Okay.

I have no pity for you!

I'm sorry that you wasted all of those years

reading all of those books,

assuming with no cause, by the way, that you'd be the Dreamer.

But look at yourself, Maeve.

You were willing to put the entire universe at stake

so you could take the powers.

Are you really that selfish?

Do you think that's what the Dreamer would do?

You don't think I deserve these powers?

You don't think I'm a real woman?

Well, I don't care.

I know who I am.

I am the Dreamer.

The question is who are you?

Because you are clearly not the sister that I thought you were.

Am I interrupting a family fight or something?

I'll make this quick, then.

Wow, nice move. Who taught you that one?

Your mama, or your sister?

No!

Well done. Now take the Totem.

Aren't I supposed to be pure of heart and mind, or some such?

That's to get past the Oracle's ward.

If, however, the Oracle is no more, we can be just us girls.

That thing is breaking down the Oracle's ward.

If it does, she can take the Totem.

I'll tell Supergirl you died nobly.

Mom said it could light up my dreams.

Maybe it can give you the extra power you need.

This is for using me.

And this is for hurting my friends.

Princess, we can't win this.

I guess it's time to go then.

Miss Danvers? Miss Rojas wanted me to let you know that

the prime minister and the president are running late.

- Oh, okay, no worries. Thank you. - Thanks.

- Alex, any update? - All good.

We will have the portal powered up

at the northernmost point of the dome.

As soon as it's up, it should draw the monster here

and then we'll get it home before the dome goes down.

Well, that's a problem because the dome is coming down now.

Hey, don't worry. We got this.

Not without me. I'm coming.

Now that the portal's up, the monster should be drawn here.

You see anything up there, J'onn?

No trace of the monster, but the National Guard is on its way.

Any sign?

I believe that is the creature.

It's working.

No!

Stop this now! You're drawing him away from where it needs to go.

- The columns. - Yeah, I've got it.

I'm getting the portal back online. It's now or never.

Now!

You did it.

I'll go talk to the National Guard.

Oh, no, I gotta go.

- The interview. - We'll talk to the governor.

What happened? I thought you said they were late.

Not that late. When they couldn't find you, they left.

Miss Rojas said she tried calling you.

- Brainy? - Supergirl.

Nia just called.

Her and her sister made it out of the Dream Realm in one piece.

But Nyxly got away with the Dream Totem.

I messed up, William.

Big time.

Having a dome over half the city has a way of disrupting plans.

What can you do?

I just feel like there's never enough

time in a day to get everything done.

And then when I am able to check everything off,

I still... I wake up the next day and realize there's more to do.

It just never ends and...

I'm drowning.

And I'm worried I'm bringing everyone around me down.

No.

Today was a bad day.

But you are allowed those once in a while.

I don't know that I am.

May I remind you of something you told me Cat Grant once said?

"You can have it all.

You just can't have it all at the same time."

So maybe ask yourself...

What does Kara Danvers want right now?

When you figure that out,

all you need to do is not stop until you get it.

Andrea?

I'm so sorry.

Your contrition isn't important right now.

What is important is that I was able to salvage your faux pas

and convince President Zakharov and Prime Minister Perez

to extend their trip by a day.

Tomorrow, 12:30 at the Civic Center.

Do not be late.

William should do the interview.

- What? - I've given him my interview packet.

He has background on both leaders

plus the deal points of the peace treaty.

I've delegated all my other articles to Franklin and Mackenzie.

- Kara, what are you talking about? - You were right, Andrea.

I'm not here.

Not fully.

And there's too much at stake for that right now.

So, uh...

I quit.

William, I should have taken you up on

your offer to talk directly to the people.

Maybe it's not too late to fix that.

Will you help me?

Nia?

You have to understand.

I was so wrapped up in my own pain.

I never even thought about you or our family or...

the ramifications my words could have on any of us.

And I'm sorry.

I'm sorry for trying to steal the Totem.

For abandoning you.

I never thought you weren't a real woman.

I just...

I wanted you to be in as much pain as I was.

But seeing you today,

your abilities, your selflessness.

You are the Dreamer.

You always have been.

Forgive me?

No.

Maeve, you may have spent your life studying to be the Dreamer,

but I spent mine trying to make you happy.

You were my best friend.

And you tore me down like it was nothing.

Then you ran away.

You changed your name. You pretended like nothing ever happened.

You can't erase what you did, Maeve.

Because of your actions, we both had to grieve Mom alone.

And I had to learn these powers that I didn't ask for alone.

I needed you!

I needed my big sister.

If it wasn't for Kara and Brainy, I

would have been completely lost.

So, no, I can't forgive you.

But I can offer you a second chance.

A final chance...

for us to be sisters again.

Thank you.

Hey, you should have this.

And you should probably call Dad.

He misses you.

Brainy and I re-fortified the hiding place

for the Courage and Humanity Totem

using Coluan science and Earth magic.

So even with the Dream Totem,

she won't be able to create the AllStone.

Well, that's good. That helps on one battlefront.

Now, if we could just do something about the negative press.

People just disagree with us sometimes.

Well, this is true,

but if we're going to take on a threat as powerful as Nyxly,

we're going to need the public on our side.

Speaking of.

Citizens of National City, I come to you tonight with an apology.

I know you have always placed your hope and trust in me.

But now, as we face the alien you know as Nyxly,

I fear I haven't always been able to deliver.

And for that, I am sorry.

But I give you my word...

Nyxly will be stopped.

No matter the cost.

Because for me and my friends, failure is not an option.

If only I had my bloody magic.

Before it's too late, please give me the Totem.

Why?

To guarantee your... future.

There's one last thing for me to... To do.

What are you?

The key to your success.
