A thoroughly enjoyable episode. I believe that tied off J’onn’s story. The only possible thing I can see left for him is to decide to live on Mars with M’gann and his brother part time, I don’t see him giving up being grandpa.


I guess we’ll find out some of what Lex was doing in the 31st century and I think it will tie into the bad news Brainy gets in the next episode. I wonder if Brainy’s going to have to go back to the 31st century and part ways with Nia. Remember he was only supposed to be in the 21st century until it was safe for him to go home. But where is his home now. Lena faced off with her abuser and won, good for her. I loved Nyxly’s initial attitude toward Lex but understand by his actions why she agreed to be friends. But Lex’s actions can never be trusted, even Otis was stumped. Esme continues to be adorable, the little actress did a great job. Esme’s got the whole secret identity thing down, even in a crisis she remembered to shout for Supergirl not aunt Kara.


Good to see Kara’s PZ trauma wasn’t forgotten. My gut says once the finale credits roll we will be able to look back and see hints to Kara’s ending were sprinkled throughout the season.
