Its Andrea in a mask and catsuit!
But she doesnt want to kill their prisoner; she wants to save him.
Hes important to me.
Now its five years ago, and Lena and Andrea meet to commiserate about their family woes.
For Lena, its Lex firing her for refusing to help him kill Superman.
Since theyre both at loose ends, Lena proposes a trip to Costa Rica.
Spooky coincidence, right?
Off to the jungle Lena and Andrea go in their safari-chic khakis and button downs-over-tank tops.
She shoves the medallion into her pocket just as Lena climbs down into the cave.
Now, four years ago, Lenas boyfriend Jack (welcome back to the show, Rahul Kohli!)
tries to cheer her up following Lexs arrest by taking her to a function in London.
There, she bumps into Andrea, whos wearing the medallion as a necklace.
At first, shes super (ha!)
Honestly, friendship goals.
Andreas horrified to learn that her orders are to kill someone.
Afterward, we see Russell have the why so many secrets?
conversation with Andrea that William told Kara about, and then we learn what really happened to him.
I never needed them, she announces to herself.
But that doesnt mean they cant be useful.
And her plans start to form.
Eight weeks ago, Lena offers Andrea CatCo as an Obsidian advertising platform.
UGH FOREVER TO THAT.
They celebrate with a drink.
In the end, they agree to work together to rescue Russel.
You jump, I jump, right?
Our favorite Luthor has a plan, of course.
Andrea takes Lenas newest tech and incepts everyone at the DEO with the thought, Do no harm.
From there, she moves unhindered to whisk Russell to safety.
Alas, Jonn feels the psychic attack and believes it to be Malefic.
He alerts Alex, who puts on her psychic inhibitors, although she cant get through to Supergirl.
As an incepted Brainy slows Alex down, Jonn arrives to help.
Ice cold, baby.
Andrea hands it over, and Lenas unmoved when she says that everything she did was for love.
After all, Andrea chose love for her father over love for Lena.
Awww, RIP, Russell!
You seemed like a good dude who fell in love with the wrong person.
They spell out Leviathan, at which point she requests access to all of Eve Teschmacherss memories of Leviathan.
