A DEO trap for Malefic fails when he phases through their Phantom Zone generator and overpowers their psychic inhibitors.

A frustrated Alex wants to pull out the Green Martian-killing blaster.

Jonn is (understandably!)

It pains him, but hes willing to try.

Lena and Brainy were adorable together, but guys, I want her to be good again.

This cuddly-Lena in public and shifty-eyed-Lena in private hurts my heart.

She yells at him for stepping aside and letting his found-family suffer the consequences.

I mean … wheres the lie?

Jonn continues to marinate in the guilt and shame hes been feeling all season.

Its all thanks to the new prison at the edge of town.

But James has places to be, kid!

Senate seats to run for!

The third plot of the night uncovers the mystery of William Dey.

This is starting to get a little international assassin, Nia says.

Dreamers a fan ofThe Leftovers!

This is canon now, dont @ me.

Furthermore, Elenas linked to an offshore bank account with ties to an anonymous person with an encrypted address.

Alas, shes missing, and she took all the DEOs anti-Martian tech with her.

Jonn reaches out psychically and answers Alex-fics challenge to come to the planetarium.

His pleas stall Alex enough that hes able to put a psychic inhibitor on her.

Oh, and also, Malefic strapped a bomb to Alexs chest.

Thankfully, Supergirls there, too, and James and Kelly also show up.

Guardian provides cover while Supergirl shores up the about-to-crumble planetarium and Jonn removes the bomb from Alexs torso.

Ah, but not so fast!

Kara awards Lena super friends status, but Lena turns down the offer to join them for drinks.

Instead, she returns to her lab, where she secretly transported Malefic for further mind-control experiments.

Dang it, Lena!

Again, that is NOT how noncompetes work OH MY GOD.

He begins his tenure by authorizing a story on the overcrowding and over-sentencing at the prison.

Okay, lets end this week with the truth about William.

He tells Kara it killed him to be rude to her and asks for forgiveness.

I have craft, you have art.

Then he asks her to let it go so she doesnt get hurt.

She assures him she can take care of herself, and he agrees that she can.

Its still not clear whether he knows her secret identity, although Im leaning toward no at this point.

Snaps of the cape
