Catherine: Okay so we’re wayyyyyy behind on these recaps and it’s 1000 percent my fault. My bffs are gonna come in here now and insist that they had a hand in stalling. (M: I had a hand in stalling!) (S: Me too!) (C: Don’t listen! It was all me because busy and also blah.)
Luckily, there’s a previously to remind us what happened. Winn kissed Kara, Kara’s parents died, aliens attacked Maxwell Carlisle’s adult video store and comic book emporium. (S: Lolol.)
The episode opens with Kara being woken up by a shiny robot that calls itself Kal-Ex and says it is her medical attendant. Why would a robot have a traditional Kryptonian hyphenated name? No idea. I guess it’s like on Earth when we name our pets stuff like Doug and Steve.
Marines: They are part of the family!
Samantha: This is Molly!
Catherine: Waaaay cuter than robots, tbh. And she’s not even trying.
Anyway, Kara freaks out before realizing that she in her former room on Krypton. Then she freaks out more. Her mother shows up all like calm down girl, you had Argo fever (S: I didn’t know the movie was THAT popular.) and those were hallucinations you were having about your planet exploding and all of us dying.
Brief fun fact: Argo is not just a Ben Affleck vehicle that got out of hand (SUH-MAN-THA) but also the name of a city on Krypton. Argo City was where Supergirl lived as a child in the early comics and after the city heard about the impending explosion of Krypton, they built a dome over the whole fucking city to avoid it. But hey! The explosion was inside the planet, dummies! So Argo City got blown out into space with it’s little dome looking like an alien science project. It somehow provided oxygen and shit and kept everyone alive until a meteor shower broke it open and Zor-el and Alura had to send Supergirl to Earth to save her. This was about 30 years after the destruction of Krypton and only applies to Silver Age continuity.
That brief fun fact was not that brief!
Marines: It was fun though! My favorite part was where they built a dome in response to planet explosion.
Samantha: And then that it actually worked sorta?
Catherine: Of course! They were super smart scientists and that’s how you science all the time. Neil Degrasse Tyson should be building us a dome right now.
Back in the episode, Kara realizes that she’s still on Krypton and her life on Earth was all a dream.
OR WAS IT?
No, is the answer because we’re immediately taken to CatCo, where Cat and Fucking Winn are ruining any pretense of being Kara’s delusions by existing without her.
Cat asks where Kara is and Winn lies and says that she’s probably not answering her phone because of the solar storm they’re having and how it’s making all the technology all wibbly. Okay. That’s not how solar storms work but okay.
Cat assumes that Kara is avoiding her because she thinks she’ll be angry that she drove Cat’s son away by dating him. But Cat, who is clearly angry, insists that she is not angry and that Kara can come back to work now. (S: I loved thee, Kadam ship!)
Jimmy shows up and Winn asks him if he’s talked to Kara. He says he hasn’t and they decide to call Alex.
All three super friends head over to the super pad where they find Kara unconscious on the floor with a bunch of cupcakes with tentacles growing out of them attached to her chest.
Mari: Would not eat those cupcakes, though the rosette frosting is impressive.
Samantha: All I can think about.
Catherine: This weird plant thing is from the comics and actually, an animated series as well. It’s called ‘Black Mercy’ and it’s a Kryptonian plant that attaches to your chest and makes you live out your deepest desires in your mind in order to put you into a happiness coma and incapacitate superheros. It was originally from an Alan Moore Superman comic in 1985 called ‘For The Man Who Has Everything,’ which is why this episode is titled ‘For The Girl Who Has Everything’.
The Black Mercy has also been featured in the Justice League Unlimited animated series, which is a great series and we should be watching it instead.
They take Kara back to DEO HQ. Alex says that the organism (tentacle cupcakes) is crushing her chest with over 100 pounds of pressure. Which… wouldn’t really hurt her but… okay. (M: This is like when she was like, “oh no! Quicksand is holding me down!” No.)
Hank gets angry that Jimmy and Winn are in the DEO, since it’s still supposed to be the worst kept secret facility ever. He kicks them out. Jimmy says in his manly, deep voice that if anything happens to Kara he’s coming back for Hank. Hank counters that if anything happens to Kara he won’t stop him. Winn drools silently in the corner.
Alex tells Hank that Kara’s brain activity is still normal, like her body doesn’t realize there’s a bunch of tentacle cupcakes on her chest. They decide to ask Carlisle Maxwell about wtf this thing is.
Alex throws a smack down on Carlisle Maxwell and demands to know how to get the cupcake tentacles off of Kara. He does the whole smug villain thing and denies any knowledge of what’s happening to Kara even while Alex is crushing his windpipe. Hank pulls Alex off of him and points out that Carlisle Maxwell is a survivor and if he knew anything he’d tell them to save his own neck.
Alex leaves and Carlisle Maxwell thanks Hank. Hank tells him that if they do find out he infected Kara with the tentacle cupcakes he’s going to allow Alex to come back down there alone and fuck Carlisle Maxwell up. Then he leaves and locks Carlisle Maxwell back up in his toilet-less plexi-glass box.
Over in their villainous lair, Astra and Non are talking about the solar storm and saying that phase one of their evil plan is complete. Astra reminds Non that Supergirl exists and he’s like yeah but it’s cool, baby ’cause she’s out of the game. She asks him what he did to Kara since she apparently gave orders that Kara was to remain unharmed by her Kryptonian posse. Non says that he didn’t hurt her, that she’s at peace and has everything she desires. Astra realizes that he means that he used tentacle cupcakes on her. Non defends his decision and tells Astra that it’s time to implement the next phase of Evil Plan.
Back in the DEO, Alex and Hank are using a giant claw machine to try and yank the tentacle cupcakes off of Kara like a 50 cent Minion toy.
This is it. This is the plan.
Of course, it doesn’t work and the tentacle cupcakes almost kill her. They realize that they can’t remove it by force. (M: I hope they get paid lots of money for their job.)
Back on Fake Krypton, Kara is still freaking out. She realizes that she is being manipulated and that someone is using her memories against her to pacify her. Kara sees a little statue that she made for her father as child sitting in her room. Obviously, he didn’t like it if it’s in her room and not his, but she recounts how she made it anyway. Alura says that this is proof that she’s really on Krypton but Kara says that she also remembers saying goodbye to her parents and Krypton exploding. She says that she doesn’t know what’s happening but she’s gonna figure it out and go back home. There’s a lot of really annoying JJ Abrams-style lens flare on Krypton, btw. Maybe that’s why it exploded? (M: OMG, maybe that’s why they built a dome?) (C: A very SHINY dome.)
CatCo. Winn whines about not wanting to work because Kara is sick. You never work anyway, Winn. What else is new? Jimmy tells him that they need to hold down the fort while Kara is away being mysteriously ill. Winn tells him that he and Kara had a fight before she got cupcaked and he’s worried that she’ll die and he won’t get to tell her he’s sorry. Way to make it about you, Winn.
Jimmy reassures him that Kara will be alright and Winn huffs off back to his fake job. Jimmy looks worried when he knows no one is looking.
Cat asks Winn where Kara is again and he makes up a terrible fake lie about her being bitten by a tick and having an allergic reaction.
Just for fun, here’s a list of lies that would’ve worked better had a normal, not irritating person been the one having to improvise in this situation:
- She’s sick.
- She had a family emergency.
- She’s having a mega period and needs a priest to exorcise her vagina.
- FUCKING ANYTHING WINN GODDAMN.
Samantha: Like. Why didn’t Hank just get like, the most official serious looking doctor’s note ever to give to Cat? Or why didn’t Jimmy and Winn decide what they were going to tell Cat? Or why didn’t Jimmy step in instead of uselessly flailing his arms?
Catherine: Because all of that makes sense and they had to give Winn something to do. Cat gets in his face and tells him that he needs to stop covering for Kara and that she better be back at her desk inside the hour or she’s fired.
Mari: I think we should just change the drinking game to drink anytime Cat threatens to fire Kara.
Catherine: Game? I’m not playing anymore. I’m just drinking.
Back at the DEO, Hank is yelling at people to get the feeds and shit back up and stop the interference from the solar storm. Alex points out that he’s venting and he says it’s probably hard on her, too (yeah, cause like…it’s her sister? So…)
Alex tells him that Jimmy called her and said that Kara is gonna be fired from CatCo if she doesn’t show up for work soon. She says that that would be bad because CatCo is more than just a job to Kara but I feel like this is all a bit back burner? She’s dying. Who cares about her job right now?
Anyway, this is all an excuse to get Hank to shape shift into Kara and go to work for her. Because what this dramatic life-or-death situation needed was a little body switching comedy.
I want to be mad. I do. But Kara bumps into Jimmy and Winn and they get excited to see her and he tells them that he is an agent of the DEO (not revealing that he’s Hank) and when Winn asks if he’s an ‘organic bio-compound’ and tries to touch the Kara face he grabs his arm and says:
And it’s EVERYTHING I’VE WANTED. SOMEONE FINALLY SMACKED WINN.
Mari: All it took was tentacle cupcakes and body switching comedy. I hope you are happy.
Catherine: I’m so happy it’s embarrassing.
Samantha: Meanwhile I’m stuck on, is this really the BEST plan these super geniuses could come up with? And I know that Jimmy and Winn have seen some shit but they were way too chill about the “exact Kara replica technology” that marched through the door.
Catherine: Jimmy asks Hank!Kara if he is prepared to deal with Kara’s job and Hank!Kara says that he’s a DEO agent and he’s can deal with little old Cat Grant.
Of course, the moment he steps into Cat’s office she starts verbally shaving off bits of him. Saying that she’s dealing with the worst solar storm of ever and she needs 80 gillion interviews and is rapid fire giving out instructions as well as telling Hank!Kara to hold Hamilton tickets hostage if it comes to it. Which is just HARSH.
Samantha: I screamed at the Hamilton shout out. Obviously. Here’s some Ham love that I don’t have to force in too much!
Catherine: I knew you wouldn’t let me down. Hank!Kara is daunted by Cat and mutters about missing his alien prison as he walks out of her office.
Back at the DEO, Alex is asking holomom about Kara’s condition. Holomom robots about not having any information about the tentacle cupcakes but she’s probably just mad that no one has come down to visit her in like, 6 episodes. Alex gets upset and talks about how Kara is depending on her and she’s always depended on her and how she wishes she’d been a better sister to her. She asks holomom to give her information to help her ‘little sister’.
I’m thinking this is less the creepy basement of holomom and more the chamber of emotional monologues since all that ever seems to happen in here.
Holomom still gives her the same line about not having sufficient information and Alex gets sad and leaves.
Samantha: Holomom is like, “These jerks, I am literally a hologram program, I do not have infinite knowledge, I’m not Google, and yet every just yells at me.”
Catherine: Fake Krypton. Kara argues with real fake mom about how she’s supposed to be back on…um, what’s the name of that place again? Oh yeah, Earth. She realizes that she’s starting to forget her real life and starts freaking out even more.
Alura points out that Earth is super far away and ‘why would I ever send you to that primitive planet’. Alura must be a solar eclipse ’cause she just threw shade over our ENTIRE PLANET. Wow.
Mari: WHATEVER ALURA. At least we haven’t blown ours up yet, damn.
Samantha: Is this plant sentient and acting out the parts of Kara’s family? Or are they played by Kara’s brain?
Catherine: The latter, I think. It’s all a one woman stage show inside her cupcake-infested noggin.
Kara, still in her weird alien hospital dress thing, runs out into the hallway and tries to escape while dramatic music plays.
She bumps into her father and her mother again, even though she just left her. Kara turns around and goes back to her room where they are both waiting for her. Her father says that she’s hallucinating from the fever. Astra shows up and Kara accuses her of putting her into her hallucination coma. She says that Astra and Non are behind it. Zor-el tells Kara that Non was banished to the Phantom Zone forever ago. Kara argues that she just fought both of them a few days ago back on… um….
Nope, she can’t remember Earth anymore. But she can still feel it and remember glimpses of flying. She remembers that she has friends there who need her.
Anyway, THEN PRE-TEEN SUPERMAN SHOWS UP AND HE’S JUST AS MUCH OF A DORK AS YOU HAVE GUESSED BY NOW.
Zor-el, Astra and Alura all smile down at him like they think they’re part of Taylor Swift’s posse or something. Pre-teen Superman, or Kal-el, whatever, hands Kara a little hologram maker thing and asks her if she remembers how to open it. When she does an image of Krypton’s solar system shows up and Kara says that it’s beautiful.
Samantha: Kara only get facetime from Supes in her literal dreams.
Catherine: And even then it’s only the kid version of him.
Back at the super pad, Alex is looking at a picture of her and Kara as kids, sadly. Astra shows up and Alex shoots at her like that is something that would work. Astra disarms her and puts her in a choke hold before she’s all like, “I’m not here to fight. I’m here to help Kara.”
Alex asks why she should trust her. Astra whatevers about how she’s only there to help Kara because she saved her from an dishonorable death and not because she still has gross feelings about her. She tells Alex about the cupcake tentacles and how to stop them. Apparently Kara has to reject the fantasy herself. Krypton was a science-driven society, btw. IDK where this shit is coming from.
Mari: Lens Flares and Magic.
Catherine: Astra notices yet another picture of Kara and Alex as tweens and notes that if Kara and Alex are sisters and she is Kara’s aunt than what does that make her and Alex? Alex is like, um nothing? But she agrees to listen to Astra’s idea to help Kara.
Back at the batcave in CatCo, Hank (regular Hank) is arguing with Alex, Jimmy and Winn about taking Astra up on her offer.
Apparently the DEO has a virtual reality test thing that Alex is gonna use to enter into Kara’s mind and convince her to reject the fake Krypton.
I thought this couldn’t get any dumber guys. Sorry.
Samantha:
Catherine: Also, they know waking up from her greatest desires or whatever is gonna be hard on Kara so they want James and Winn there by her side when they pull her out. Sure. Fine. Whatever at this point.
Hank agrees to let the boys back into the DEO even with the security issues because he sees why Kara values them so much now. Because they put up a reflexive defense for their friend? I guess? They’ve literally done nothing else. (S: I know, I thought I missed a scene where they assisted him with Cat or something.)
Hank shapeshifts into Kara again and goes to ask Cat for the day off. Cat is understandably like no, you were 3 hours late today and a lot of shit is happening. I’m not giving you the day off.
Then Hank!Kara starts to fake cry to convince her. I get that this was supposed to be funny but I feel like it says something kinda shitty about what Hank thinks of Kara. And maybe women in general. (S: Word. Cat is too smart for this shit, which makes it extra annoying that she doesn’t know Kara is Supergirl.)
Back at cupcake tentacles, Winn is standing by Kara’s side and talking in a soft voice and I want Satan to just take me away. I can’t do this. I can’t watch them have a moment.
Luckily, the camera shifts to Alex who is watching from outside. Hank comes in and she asks him how it went with Cat and he says they should handle one disaster at a time.
So, Hank shapeshifted into Kara in order to make sure she keeps her job and he… just made it worse? Is that what’s happening here? He didn’t help at all. Now Cat just respects Kara less. And it’s all Winn’s fault.
Hank asks how it’s going with the magic VR thing and Alex says that the process is way beyond their lab techs abilities (because it’s not a real thing and not how VR works) and they are gonna need days to get it going. I’d say days is pretty fucking generous. They are literally inventing impossible technology so ‘days’ is reasonable.
Mari: I mean, one million days is still days.
Catherine: It’s just a lot of them. Makes sense. But Kara just doesn’t have that kinda time. Also Hank thinks that the Kryptonians are using the solar storm to hide their next move in the Evil Plan.
Enter Carlisle Maxwell, who is still handcuffed and escorted by two guards. They tell him they need help with Kara and he’s like no. After spending however long in an airless cage in a basement I’m kinda surprised he’s even sane and showered. I would be covered in shit and screaming. Just like I usually am in real life.
But Alex convinces him by saying that the aliens that attacked his lemonade stand are back now. This enrages him for some reason and he agrees to help.
Evil lair. Astra and Non are telling their soldier guys about the Evil Plan. We still don’t get to hear what it is, just that the humans are unsuspecting. Also, all of their soldier guys are dudes. Which is kinda weird? Where are the lady soldiers?
Samantha: WHAT IS THEIR PLAN? I seriously have NO IDEA what exactly they want.
Catherine: I don’t know either but I know that it is EVIL and unitards are involved.
DEO. Alex tells Jimmy to make sure not to let Hank pull her out of Kara’s head before she saves her. Even if she starts dying or whatever. Jimmy agrees because he’s barely knows her so whatever.
Carlisle Maxwell explains the helmet thing they’re using to project Alex’s subconscious into Kara’s. Honestly if he invented that in a few hours he deserves to be rich, evil or not.
Mari: Still don’t know what his company actually does, but sure! Super genius is rich off the strength of his mind.
Catherine: Fake Krypton. Alex is there now. She does the whole ‘Omg I’m on Krypton’ thing before a commercial break because this show enjoys chipping bits of my life away. (S: I literally said out loud, “Ugh, you KNOW YOU’RE NOT.”)
To prove this, the next scene begins with Winn telling the SUPER SMART DEO guys that instead of the solar blackout coinciding with the Kryptonians next move the blackout might just BE the next move. Jesus Christ. It took them half an episode to figure that out and WINN had to be the one to tell them. If Winn is seeming smarter than you you are fucking a monkey, my friend.
Fake Krypton. Alex is walking through the halls in Kara’s unconscious mind. It took everything I have to type that so I hope you appreciate it.
She comes upon Kara talking with her parents and pre-teen Superman (whose parents are nowhere to be found). Kara is also wearing a different dress now but it seems like she just changed and it’s supposed to be the same fake day.
Alex comes in and Kara doesn’t remember her. She gets defensive and her parents gather around her in a creepy alien way. Not in a ‘lets call the police because there’s an intruder in our home way’. Alex tries to remind her about Earth but Kara’s not having it. She knocks Alex in the face with the metal statue she was talking about earlier.
Back in the real world, Alex’s vitals start going haywire and Hank says to pull her out. Carlisle Maxwell starts to only to be stopped by Jimmy. A bunch of dudes come in and point guns at Jimmy. He tells Hank that Alex told him to do this and convinces Hank to leave Alex in.
Fake Krypton, Alex wakes up standing and handcuffed. Just like I usually do in real life. (M: I’m really starting to worry about your life.) (C: You shouldn’t ’cause I’m living it real good.)
She’s being sentenced to Kryptonian execution and shit. (S: This escalated quickly.) She pleads with Kara to stop them and reject her fake life.
Alex keeps begging her and saying that she knows regular life is imperfect but this fake Krypton isn’t real. It’s pretty funny because these two big guard guys are struggling with Alex the whole time but she’s not actually fighting them or really moving. The actors are just trying to make it seem like she is. Poor actors.
Kara finally realizes that none of this is real and remembers her life on Earth. She starts toward Alex but Alura stops her. Kara tells her she needs to leave and that Krypton will be in her heart forever. She hugs her mother and tells her she loves her and Alura suddenly goes all black eyes and says they will never let her leave. Whoops! Surprise body snatching.
There’s another fight and Alex and Kara reach for each other. Blinding flash of light and Alex wakes up in the real world.
She sees that Kara is still cupcake tentacles and gets mad at Jimmy. She actually starts to fight him with Hank holding her back and telling her that they didn’t pull her out she woke up on her own. She asks how that’s possible and then Winn comes in and notices that Kara’s waking up.
Wow. Maybe wait 3 seconds before accusing everyone, Alex?
Mari: Like damn. Give a lady a few seconds to wake up from magical cupcake tentacle sleep. Rude.
Catherine: There’s a really (and I mean REALLY) terrible special effect of the cupcake tentacles climbing off of Kara. It just sort of climbs into the middle of the room and no one does anything. It looks faker than the last 8 Saw movies.
Samantha: Also, Alura Plant just told Kara it wouldn’t let her leave? But then it did with minimal resistance?
Catherine: Kara wakes up and freaks out. Winn is there assuring her she’s alright and it’s funny because she doesn’t even look at him. Haha. I hate Winn so goddamn much.
Alex tells her it was Non what did it. Bother!
Back in the main nightclub part of the DEO, Hank asks his team and Winn what they figured out about the Evil Plan.Winn tells them he found hidden servers or something and a bunch of fake techie stuff and what’s this? The Kryptonians are using Lord Tech servers for Evil Plan.
Maxwell Carlisle didn’t know because when Non broke into his lemonade stand a few weeks ago he left behind a virus that is working on Maxwell Carlisle’s satellites to do something. What? They don’t know. Something evil, though.
Carlisle Maxwell says that he has 6 other satellite farms in the area and they are mostly likely the next target. They all head out and Kara tells Hank that Non is hers to fight. They all are, Kara. No one else can fight Kryptonians.
Mari: You have infinite dibs on the bad guys. We promise.
Catherine: At the satellite farm, which is not, as I’d hoped, a place where they milk satellites and watch them frolic in green fields with other satellites, Non is plugging a motherboard into a satellite which is on its own and sad.
Kara shows up and dick punches him. She’s all mad because he made her lose her family again. Fair.
Nearby on A Rooftop, Astra is plugging something or other into another satellite. Alex shows up and there’s another terrible special effect of her repelling from a helicopter. I’m starting to think that they blew the special effect budget for this season a few episodes ago and are scrounging now. (M: Pull from Supergirl’s Super Hair Budget.) (C: NO! She needs that shiny gloss to fight the bad guys!)
Anyway, Alex tells Astra that she knows that she loves Kara and that’s why she helped her and her heart isn’t in the way anymore. Astra gets pissed and starts strangling her. Alex keeps saying that she’s had plenty of chances to kill Kara and she hasn’t so maybe she should just give it up and help them.
Someone superspeeds in and knocks Astra back. She get’s all hopeful that it’s Kara but it’s Martian Manhunter. Astra tells him that she thought all of the martians were dead. The Manhunter tells her that he’s the last one and Earth is his home now and she can’t have it.
Lol you and 5000 other last survivors of deceased alien races, brah.
Back to Supergirl. She’s fighting Non and telling him that Earth is her home now and he can’t have it. See?
Non tells her that she has the ‘hubris of the House of El’. Again, fair.
A Rooftop, Astra gets away from The Manhunter long enough to plug in the motherboard virus thing into the satellite. It disappears (???) and then Hank goes back to fighting her. She almost kills him before a glowing green sword comes through her back, killing her.
Green Lantern? Green Arrow? Green… Beetle?
Nope, it’s Alex with a Kryptonite sword. I guess Astra’s glowy broach of protection doesn’t protect her from swords. Oversight. (M: If she weren’t dead, I’d say look into getting her money back.) (S: I know I’m alone but I’m kinda bummed she’s dead.) (C: I’m kinda meh. Astra, I forgot you existed most of the time but sorry about your death.)
Non gets away from Kara by heat visioning the satellite so it will fall and she has to catch it. Not sure why she had to catch it. No one else was around. Guess her real Kryptonite is tidiness.
Kara hears Alex’s voice calling for her from A Rooftop saying that Astra needs her. Kara sees Astra all stabbed and asks what happened. Alex starts to say that she killed her but Hank butts in and takes the blame for her. It always good to end a ‘family is important!’ episode with a huge lie between sisters.
Kara goes to Astra’s side. She tells her that she saw her in her hallucination all happy and family again. Astra is touched and tells her that Non is going to kill her and Evil Plan is already in place. It sounds sinister but she says it regretfully. The Kryptonians show up to get Astra via a ship? Tractor beam? I can’t tell. It was a bunch of freaky blue lights in the sky. Alex, Kara and Hank run away.
Back in Evil Lair, Non is mourning over Astra’s body when a soldier (who I guess is second in command now. Great day for that guy!) tells him that her death will not be in vain and they’re gonna ice Supergirl.
DEO. Hank hands the motherboard thing that Non had to a tech and tells her to get it to the lab.
Alex tells him that two of their squads never reported in and are probably dead now. They take this pretty fucking easily for an announcement that a bunch of their dudes died horribly. Then they say this:
Mari: My best guess would be beginning of next episode, solved by the end, but only because I have no faith in this show.
Catherine: I think that’s actually a lot of faith. I feel like it’s gonna be solved in about 3 seconds when Kara just forgives Alex like she always does and moves on.
Super pad. Alex, Jimmy and Winn are waiting for Kara when she gets home after having cleaned up her apartment. She tells them they didn’t have to do that and Winn makes another lame joke take me to the underworld I can no longer live like this.
Kara tells them she needs to talk about why she almost succumbed to the fake Krypton. She says that it because even though she loves them (except Winn) she has been feeling lost for the past few weeks. But she chose to come back because she realized that she belongs on Earth and these nerds are her family.
I thought she chose to come back because she remembered that Earth was even a thing but okay.
Mari: Right. It was kind of like remembering just destroyed the cupcakes. Not a very active choice at all, but okay family.
Catherine: Then she says ‘There’s no place like home’ and they all start laughing. She couldn’t say, ‘We’re not in Kansas anymore’ because Superman doesn’t let her near his family.
Winn says that her quoting a movie a whole new level in their friendship and she laughs and it gets awkward because he keeps talking and wants to confirm that they are, indeed friends. They high five. Which is a thing that people who consider themselves friends haven’t done since the 90’s.
Jimmy reveals that he brought pot stickers and ice cream and wine, which sort of completes the fantasies I’ve been having about him.
Alex stops Kara and tells her that there’s something she should know. She looks like she’s going to tell her about killing Astra but instead chickens out and tells her about Hank covering for her at CatCo. They joke around a bit before Jimmy says they can talk about CatCo tomorrow. Ya know, when Kara has to go and grovel to keep her job because she pissed off her boss so much.
I mean, it wasn’t her fault but it was her family’s so…
Anyway the episode ends with them all eating and laughing.
Wow. I can’t believe that Winn almost destroyed the universe like that. What a butt.
Mari: I think this is how you’d end an episode without Winn even in it.
Catherine: That is absolutely correct.
Next time on Supergirl: Cat hires a new assistant and the Master Jailer is on the loose in S01 E14 – Truth, Justice and The American Way.
