The anticipated flashback episode has an official description:

ESCAPE DOWN MEMORY LANE — Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Alex (Chyler Leigh) head home to Midvale for a little R&R. While there, Kara recalls a painful memory of a childhood friend’s death and how that traumatic experience brought the Danver sisters closer together. Izabela Vidovic plays Young Kara and Olivia Nikkanen plays Young Alex in flashbacks. Rob Greenlea directed the episode written by Caitlin Parrish and Jess Kardos.

Airs Monday, November 13.

Out of the first few episodes of Supergirl's 3rd season, this is one I'm looking forward. The other is the mega-crossover that happens to be her 50th episode.

 

[Osiris-Rex]

I wonder how far Midvale is from Riverdale? Be cool if Kara did have lunch with Betty and Veronica. Course Kara could have lunch in New York and be back in time for the 1:00 pm meeting at CatCo.

 

[vantheman77]

A crossover between Midvale and Riverdale is the best way of doing it.

 

[Dark Raven]

So this is where we get to see the young Kara actress who looks like Melissa Benoist. But what about the young Chyler actress? Does she look like Chyler Leigh?

That's the old one. Young Kara and Young Alex have both been recast.

 

[Humbugged]

And hey her and Chyler have both worked with Matt Czuchry

 

[Dark Raven]

That's the old one. Young Kara and Young Alex have both been recast.

The old Chyler looks a good match. Why did they recast her?

They are playing older high school versions of Alex and Kara

But they had the new actress that plays young Kara in the pod in the new opening sequence. When supposedly Kara was only 12 or 13.

Extended promo:



Looks a bit like filler, tbh, but potentially good filler, imo. I'm always here for a Danvers sisters-centric ep.

So J'onn's ship is just...their car now. That's one way to save money I guess, lol.

 

[Kelly]

Alex has a motorcycle, Kara doesn't have a car so......borrow dad's....

 

[Dark Raven]

I hope it still is his ship and not that they just think no one will notice or remember.

I don't think there's a chance of that, lol.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I feel like i'm watching a completely different show and I kind of like it.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I wasn't a fan of emo Kara in the first episode but I don't mind it so much here. It feels more natural. I just wish the reasoning behind her being this way was better.

 

[Primal Slayer]

Young Kara 2.0 looks so much like Melissa.

 

[NotNickFury]

So now it's Alex's turn for a pity party.

 

[Thome216]

She's right though. Kara gets to run away from being 'human' when things start to hurt and lock everybody out, but Alex has to get better on a time table.

 

[Primal Slayer]

That was some bad cgi...guessing they had to reshoot the scene.

Is Kenny gay.....

 

[flickchick85]

Young Kara 2.0 looks so much like Melissa.

She's got the expressions down, that's for sure.

I feel like there's some retconning happening in this ep. Clark took down Lex Luthor 10 years ago? All last season they were talking about it like a very recent development. I mean, Lena supposedly took over L-Corp when it happened, and she would've been 14 at this stage.

Alex and Kara being in the same grade/classes?

Eliza reading Cat Grant's book was a nice touch, though.
