Supergirl (2015) s04e12 Episode Script
Menagerie
Previously on Supergirl So this is your new business Yeah, this feels about right.
- Mom, what's happening? - It was your destiny to be my daughter.
- To be Dreamer.
- I have to be mind-wiped, too.
Happy to help, Alex.
I would really appreciate it if you would address me as Director Danvers.
Oh.
See you soon.
[CROWD CHANTING.]
Liberty! Liberty! [MAN ON RADIO.]
Police are on the lookout for a couple masquerading as partygoers who robbed the attendees at an event in an upscale enclave of Oaks Bluff.
No one was harmed but the couple appears to have absconded with several hundred thousand dollars in jewels and cash.
[CHUCK.]
We're getting famous.
You know the one they stole from Kim K looked just like this.
But these bracelets are way nicer than her Cartiers.
Hey, Bling Ring.
How about you stop admiring the loot and start paying attention to me, huh? I'm the one who got the shiner making our getaway.
That's because you're too slow, Chuckster.
Always underestimating how much rich people like holding on to their stuff.
What's this? Rich people's ball tomorrow night.
Could be another big score.
[SCREAMS.]
[CHUCK LAUGHS.]
You're a real idiot.
[CHUCK CONTINUES LAUGHING.]
Hey! Come around and help me out, Pamela.
Door's jammed.
What the hell did you almost crash us into? [WHISPERING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE.]
[SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
[YELPS.]
[KARA.]
Marshmallow roses are so good.
You should save one of those for J'onn, you know.
This one's for me.
You want one? They're delicious.
[ALEX.]
No.
- Hey! Happy Valentine's Day.
- Hey! Thank you so much.
And, oh, my gosh, this place is awesome.
I can't believe it's taken you weeks to finally have me over.
Well, I just wanted to get the place fully set up before you saw it.
Oh, I am so proud of you.
And I see we're not the only ones who gave you a Valentine's gift.
Well, most of these are from the aliens in my support group.
This box is from members of a Crime Watch I helped set up to catch taggers who were spray painting "Free Ben Lockwood" up and down the block.
And these flowers are from a Toomian whose lost family I found.
Well, it is amazing how many clients you've already helped.
I mean, you left the DEO with the goal to change your life, and you have.
I sense discontent in your voice.
How are things with Haley? Better? Um, she's been in Washington, so that's good, I guess.
It's just seeing how much you've accomplished, it reminds me of how little I've done since I took over the DEO.
You have not done little.
Mercy and Otis Graves.
Agent Liberty.
I mean in my personal life.
I took over the DEO to use that stability to finally be able to pursue the things that I want.
And I did, you know, at first.
- And I dated a lot.
- Oh, we know.
- [LAUGHS.]
- [ALEX.]
Yeah, well You know, and I was also working on my adoption portfolio but, you know, when President Marsdin got exposed, it kind of all just fell to the wayside.
It's weird because I feel like I have this capacity for so much more lately and I'm doing nothing.
Thank you.
Well, if you feel like getting back out there, I know Nia and her roommate are throwing a very happening Valentine's party tonight.
We could go together.
I could be your wing-woman.
- Why does that scare me? - [SCOFFS.]
- [CELL PHONE BEEPS.]
- [ALEX.]
Hold on.
Well, police found a car that apparently crashed trying to avoid an asteroid.
So, I'm gonna go.
Yeah.
Good to see you.
Yeah, you too.
- I love you both.
- Love you.
Now you're looking discontent.
I just miss her.
Being her partner in crime.
Thank you.
And now I need to get out of here before I eat all your Valentines.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh.
Excuse me.
Go ahead.
Uh, Mrs.
Stuart.
Glad you found the place.
- Please, have a seat.
- Thank you.
So how can I help you today? I didn't know who else to call.
I think my husband's been kidnapped.
- [NIA.]
Brainy? - It is I.
And I'd like to make myself clear, since I did not last time.
I am not here for a date.
Happy Valentine's Day to you, too.
I sense sarcasm, which I find confusing in this context.
You see, I am here because Kara told me about your mother's passing, which I was very sorry to hear.
But having run simulations, I've deduced that there's an 87.
4% chance that you would now wish to train as a superhero.
And I have brought my most complex mind mazes to help you hone your skills and interpret your dreams.
Brainy, I know it's my destiny to have these powers.
But I'm still grieving, Brainy.
My mother passed away so suddenly.
Have you ever considered putting your grief into tiny boxes? That doesn't sound very healthy.
It could be.
Besides, then it would free you up to train and then join mine and Supergirl's crime-fighting family.
I would love to join your family someday.
But I'm just not ready to train right now.
Very well.
I shall take my mind mazes and go.
Brainy.
Brainy.
My roommate Yvette's having a Valentine's party tonight to try to cheer me up.
If you wanna come? Actually, I would I would love to attend.
Great.
Then it's a date.
[DOOR ALARM BUZZING.]
[DOOR CREAKING.]
Don't look so troubled, son.
Why not? You're locked up and you're the only one who's brave enough to stand up for humanity.
It isn't right.
Listen, the movement that was created, I have to believe will create the circumstances of my release.
But I wanna do something for you now.
Well, then be a man.
A man of action.
Be the man that your grandfather wanted me to be, but at your age.
[INTERCOM BUZZING.]
[MAN.]
Visiting hours are now over.
We should go.
We'll see you next week.
Hey, George.
Come here.
Uh [WHISPERED, INDISTINCT CONVERSATION.]
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER.]
Colonel Haley? I didn't expect to see you so soon.
Yeah, well, I came back early to help my daughter.
- You have a daughter? - Don't look so surprised, Director.
I do have a life outside the service.
She was having trouble on a school project so I came back to help her.
You'd be impressed by what I can do with a glue gun.
It must've been nice for her to have some time with her mom.
You know, working with her was much more pleasant than my time at the Oval.
I take it that part didn't go over so well.
The president wanted answers I couldn't give him about the rage drug you dealt with the other week.
He's also dismayed that Ben Lockwood is polling better than he is.
Well, we're all dismayed by that.
Ma'am, you need to see this.
NORAD misidentified this as an asteroid, but it's some type of ship.
And whatever came out of it seems to have eaten this man's heart.
And nothing else.
Happy Valentine's Day.
It's like the creature extracted his heart perfectly.
There's minimal tissue damage.
There's no blood loss.
It's like it cauterized itself.
- A sophisticated killing.
- [GASPS.]
Much like its ship, which presented as solid rock.
Also, what's interesting is this creature's shed skin suggests it underwent some sort of metamorphosis quickly after arrival.
Which I do find comforting.
I would much rather face that than anything snake-like, which I do have a deep phobia about.
As any rational being would.
- You hate snakes? - Yes.
Much like the hero of the Spielberg epic, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
A terrific picture.
In any event, I analyzed the DNA from the creature's skin, and made a composite of what the beast might look like now.
Two more victims were just discovered.
They lived in a mansion a mile from where that pod landed.
Same exact cause of death.
We need to find whatever killed these people before we have a panic on our hands.
If my interpretation of the data is correct, this is what we're looking for.
What is it? Unknown.
I've updated the president.
He wants this kept out of the press.
Humans are already feeling so vulnerable.
We'll do whatever we can.
I'll be back in a few hours.
Update me with any progress.
Yes, ma'am.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
I love what you've done to the place.
- Looks like an actual newsroom now.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
Like The Washington Post.
So what do I owe the surprise? Uh, well, the lady who came into my office as you were leaving, her husband is the Director of Alien Affairs.
- You mean, Anthony Stuart? - That's right.
That's right.
- He helped draft the Alien Amnesty Act.
- Right.
He and his wife have been getting a lot of threats ever since Lockwood was imprisoned, and last night he never made it home.
She thinks he was kidnapped? I imagine CatCo has a lot of research on Stuart.
I was hoping that I could give you the scoop, and in return, you could help with my investigation.
Whatever you need.
Sounds like it's an important story.
This is something I think the DEO might be interested in, too.
And if that's the case, per our conversation this morning, you can't work with Alex as Supergirl, but maybe you could team up with her on this.
It's Valentine's Day and you're being a matchmaker.
[CHUCKLES.]
Everything okay? Well, now that you're here with a very large present I took this on our last morning at the lake house together.
Open it, please.
This is how I see you when we're away from everything else and it's just you and I.
When it's perfect.
Let's go to Paris.
- Tonight.
- [CHUCKLES.]
For Valentine's weekend, away from everything else.
- You're serious? - Have you ever known me to joke? No.
Um, no.
But I've never known you to offer spontaneous trips either.
Are you sure everything's okay? James, we never just live in the moment.
You know, we should do that more.
Because we never know what tomorrow's gonna bring.
Come on, all right, listen.
If your billionaire girlfriend cannot whisk you away for a romantic holiday, then there really is something wrong with the world.
The lady has a point.
- The lady usually does.
- Mmm.
[KARA.]
Here's something.
Fred Roberts, a known member of the Children of Liberty.
He sent hate mail to Stuart after the Alien Amnesty Act was signed.
And then he was arrested and convicted for stalking him.
He was released from prison last week.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
No release address listed in the records I have access to.
But I think the DEO might have it.
Any luck narrowing things down? I am working on it.
Then why are you looking up Valentine's Day gifts? I am 85% focused, which is the equivalent to a very capable CSI team.
Now, I just have one other matter of importance to take care of, and once I do, I guarantee you 100% of my mind.
Unless, of course, you'd like to help out? In which case, I could stop multitasking sooner.
- I'm sure of it.
- I hate Valentine's Day.
[BRAINY.]
Hmm.
Hmm? Two minutes.
Today, Nia Nal invited me to attend a Valentine's Day party.
She said, "It's a date.
" Yet, her intentions were unclear.
"It's a date" does not sound unclear.
It never occurred to me that someone as amazing as Nia Nal would be interested in me.
Well, then, I guess the bigger question here is, what do you want? I want her to be my Valentine.
Well, then bring her a gift that expresses that.
What a bold idea from a very bold person, Alex Danvers.
Ugh, if only.
I mean, here you are, in the middle of a crisis, carving out time - to figure out your life.
- Multitasking.
Yes, can we get back to the search now, please? Absolutely.
In fact, I've just finished analyzing the police reports for the two additional victims.
It appears that beyond the deaths themselves, every piece of jewelry at their house was taken.
I understand the car where we found the first victim was involved in a jewel heist.
Those jewels were also taken.
Jewelry.
Gems and precious metals could be an additional source of nutrition for this alien.
Or potentially the alien requires the jewels as a resource for its planet.
In any event, it would suggest how this alien is choosing its victims.
If it's traveling on foot, that would give us a radius and a profile of victims for which to search by.
Well, triangulate and send me the addresses.
Hey, J'onn, is everything okay? I have a client whose husband, the Director of Alien Affairs, might have been the victim of a hate crime.
I could use your help tracking down a potential lead Kara helped me come up with.
I'm sorry, I've got an unidentified alien threat that I'm trying to track.
But you should call Brainy, I'm sure he could help.
He's great at multitasking.
She re-directed me to Brainy.
So much for my matchmaking skills.
Well, the lead was bad, anyway.
There's no release address for Roberts because he's already back in prison.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
Stuart's phone records.
It appears he made consistent calls to a number belonging to Madison Sinclair.
Nia wrote an article about her.
She's a diamond broker.
One of the people who invested in the East City project.
It appears he frequented a restaurant right by her house several times over the past couple of months.
And again this morning.
I don't think this was a hate crime.
I think he's having an affair.
And on Valentine's Day.
We still need to make sure he's safe.
[FEMALE REPORTER ON TV.]
A series of alien attacks has the citizens of National City in a place of deep unrest.
- I'm Colonel Lauren Haley.
- Yes, I'm aware.
to combat the alien menaces.
You're not surprised to see me in your office.
I'm a Luthor.
I've learned to expect the unexpected.
Now, what can I help you with? I'm here on behalf of the President of the United States to offer you a government contract.
For what purpose? People are terrified after the turmoil created by that drug that gave humans super strength.
The president understands your research is exploring this arena.
Ms.
Luthor.
We need to make the US military as powerful as our alien adversaries.
This is not what I had in mind when I started my research.
[FEMALE REPORTER ON TV.]
National City on high alert after reports of an unidentified alien feeding on human hearts.
Sources put the death toll at three already.
This is precisely why we need you.
I need to go.
I'll email you a proposal.
Please think about it.
[FEMALE REPORTER.]
Children of Liberty are calling for the immediate release of Ben Lockwood, stating that he is an American hero and not a terrorist.
Meanwhile, the Children of Liberty continue to grow their membership with new chapters arising throughout the city.
[MACHINERY WHIRRING.]
[GEORGE.]
Agent Liberty needs us to find this alien killer.
Let us be the ones who kill it in his name.
Then we can demand that he be set free.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
He's here, that's his car.
[KARA.]
Should we knock? Well, what if they're You know Well, I can't use my X-ray vision.
Ms.
Sinclair? Mr.
Stuart? He's right here.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
I found Ms.
Sinclair.
His heart's missing.
[GUN COCKING.]
[FEMALE AGENT.]
Freeze! Right there.
[MALE AGENT.]
Don't move! Hands in the air! - Everybody down! - Wait, hold your fire.
What are you two doing here? Kara, you don't need to be seeing all of this.
You should go.
I'm fine.
I've been to plenty of crime scenes, covering it for CatCo.
In fact, since I'm here, maybe I could help the investigation.
She is the one that helped find the lead that got us here.
You said you thought Ms.
Sinclair was being targeted by this alien because she was a diamond broker? Mmm-hmm.
Huh.
Whoa! It's a hidden door.
That's a good find, don't you think, Alex? Nice work, Kara.
This looks like this could be, I don't know, like, an acid, or maybe even venom, given the alien we're looking for.
Could you run it for trace radioactivity? Perhaps to track it? How did you know we could do that? Winn, always bragging about how he did things.
Off the record, of course.
Couldn't you get Brainy to scan it? Uh, yeah.
- Agent Dox.
- Yes, Director Danvers? - [LOUD MUSIC PLAYING.]
- Is that music? Where are you? I am at the party we discussed.
It was called for happy hour.
And I haven't yet conversed with the person we spoke about earlier.
Hey! This is my jam.
Stop talking to yourself and dance.
Also, it might be difficult for me to extricate myself at the moment.
Okay, well, stay put.
We're coming to you.
Hurry.
Why are you smiling like that? You said "we.
" Of course you did, 'cause Brainy's at Nia's and J'onn will fly us there.
[NEWSCASTER.]
Anthony Stuart, the Director of Alien Affairs was murdered today.
You have an update from Haley about this alien menace that killed him? The DEO's following all leads.
Please remind the colonel this is why our new initiative is so important.
And these Lockwood protests, they're starting to become a nuisance.
I think it's time we did something about him.
I'll bring you options tonight, sir.
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING.]
Brainy? You guys see him? Mmm-mmm.
That's a negative.
Alex? How've you been, stranger? It's Becca.
We had drinks.
Twice.
Becca.
Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry I never called you.
I My life has just It's been so crazy.
It happens.
Wanna grab a drink? Um, you know what? Actually, I have to Come on, don't tell me you don't have time to at least catch up.
- Uh - Go, go, catch up.
We'll find him.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
It seems like she didn't need a wing-woman.
Paris, here we come.
And not a moment too soon.
[DOOR ALARM BUZZING.]
[BEN.]
Hey.
I heard your call to arms and, uh, I'm really proud of you, George.
The Children of Liberty are out there searching for that alien killer.
I'm just not sure what to do next.
You gotta take care of it publicly.
People have to know that it's us.
I don't know if I can.
George, I know what it's like to be scared.
All of us do.
But then, then an opportunity can present itself, and like a switch, your whole world changes.
And you find clarity and focus, and strength like you've never known.
So what I need you to do is just look out for that opportunity and trust it.
And you will take it.
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING.]
I don't think he's here.
[BRAINY.]
I am right here.
[GASPS.]
Brainy? What are you doing in the closet? I just escaped Yvette, Nia's roommate.
Apparently, every song is her jam.
Do you have the samples? This will take a few minutes.
[KARA SIGHS.]
Well, you go.
I'll stay here.
You okay? Yeah.
Come sit.
You're gonna get through this, you know.
Just go easy on yourself.
And you have me.
You don't know how much I appreciate that.
Just think about how much your mother loved you.
And what she would've wanted for you.
And try to honor that.
She would want me to dream.
But my sister You can't let her stop you from embracing your destiny.
I hid who I was for far too long because of my family.
Even Alex didn't think it was a good idea at first.
At least now she knows everything and supports you.
Actually, um, Alex doesn't know I'm Supergirl anymore.
She had her mind wiped to protect her.
Yeah.
But I can't let that stop me from helping the people that need my help and doing the good that I can do.
And you could do a lot of good, too.
You're part of my family now.
And all heroes are welcome.
So catch me up.
The FBI must be crazy with all the stuff that's happening.
And your adoption, tell me you have a kid and that's your excuse for not calling.
A kid? Um, not yet.
Sorry.
I know how excited you were about it.
Yeah, I was.
I, uh, guess I kind of dropped the ball.
Then, pick it back up.
Um, will you excuse me? My friends, they need me.
I really am sorry that I didn't call.
- What did you find? - No radiation signature.
But I did find human DNA in the sample.
- It's another victim? - I would assume.
I found a match for the DNA in CODIS.
Pamela Ferrer.
But according to NCPD, she's yet to be reported as missing.
Do you have an address? Is a Klaramarian yellow? I, uh, think that means yes.
Yes, obviously.
Her home is actually just a few blocks away.
We should move out.
No, no, no, no.
Brainy and I will move out.
But that was so fun, seeing you in action at the crime scene.
Kara, it could be dangerous.
Think of it as a ride-along, the press tagging along to see how the government protects the city.
Yeah, I'll come along, too.
- All right, well, just stick together.
- Sure.
Pamela Ferrer, are you here? This is the FBI.
Pamela? I'm Pamela Ferrer.
Is there a problem? Yes, there is very much a problem.
- Brainy! - Pamela Ferrer's DNA was co-mingled with the alien venom we found.
They were linked.
Mandating contact.
She should not be alive, let alone unharmed.
With Valentine's Day, I must've been more preoccupied than I thought.
Because the only logical conclusion is that snake didn't morph into that creature I showed you, but rather it merged with that woman.
- The alien is a symbiote? - Yes.
I am 98.
9% certain that she is the beast we're looking for.
- [GRUNTS.]
- Whoa! [GASPS.]
Make that 100%.
Pamela, we just want to help.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
There is something inside you making you do this.
- If you try to fight it - Fight it? Why would I fight it? This is the most powerful I have ever felt.
And I am not Pamela.
We are Menagerie.
[SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
Whoa! [GRUNTING.]
- I hate snakes.
- Kara, run! [SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
[ALEX.]
Kara! No! [MENAGERIE.]
Come.
- Are you okay? - It's totally fine.
She missed me.
I'm fine.
I told you it just ripped my jacket.
I found these.
Full of jewels and money.
It would appear Pamela Ferrer is a jewel thief.
Likely accomplice to our first victim.
Okay, so the hearts were for the symbiote and the jewels were for her.
Now that we know the symbiote's human counterpart, we can track her.
Okay, Brainy, you get back to the DEO, use your facial algorithm to find her and then I'll meet you back there after I take Kara home.
I told you, I'm fine.
I am tougher than you think I am.
Look, I would never forgive myself if something happened to you.
Kara, you're the most important person in the world to me.
Hey, your safety is my number one priority.
Nothing comes before that.
Uh, you know what? You're right.
I do feel a little shaky.
- I'll take her home.
- Okay.
Thanks, J'onn.
[SIGHS.]
All right, sweep this place.
Leave a patrol.
If she comes back, I wanna know about it.
[CELL PHONE BUZZES.]
The government wants to partner with me in my research into making humans super.
Lena, I know how much your research means to you, which is why I can't fathom why you would want to share it with the government.
I thought you supported my work.
Look, I know that I said that I understand this moral gray area that you're treading on.
But if you share your research with the government, they're gonna militarize it.
And who knows what kind of chaos that can create.
I know I said that I'd try to understand your point of view.
But I don't know if I can on this one.
Are you saying that forgiving me and us trying again was a mistake? No, no, no, I'm No, no, no.
There's no mistakes.
No, I love you.
And you love me.
But I also know you and I know that you're better than this.
I will not allow you to judge me for my using my science for the betterment of humanity.
That's fair.
Okay.
You're right and I don't want to judge.
But to be straightforward, I am never going to agree with you sharing your research with the government.
And I think that that could destroy us.
You're probably right.
I think you should leave.
So that's it then? It was always inevitable, wasn't it? Frank, stop the car.
[WHISPERING IN ALIEN TONGUE.]
[WHISPERING GETS LOUDER.]
[GASPS.]
Girl, are you okay? Yeah.
Just a bad dream.
I liked it better when you stayed up all night.
Now help me clean this up.
I'm not doing this work by myself.
We tried, but I can't work with Alex.
Not as Supergirl or as Kara.
She got spooked.
That doesn't mean she didn't enjoy working with you before that.
When she thought I was bit by that snake I've seen that look in her eyes a million times.
It's love, but it's also deep fear.
That's the depth of love we have for the people we care about the most.
But it's a problem when that love stops someone from going after what they want for themselves.
And you think that's what Alex does for you? Remember when she said she felt like her life was on pause and she didn't know why? And she couldn't figure out what was holding her back.
It's me.
I'm what's holding her back.
[SIGHS.]
She was doing so well this summer, she was dating again, she was moving forward with the adoption, and then that Kryptonite bomb hit and she dropped everything to take care of me.
Look, please don't blame yourself for that.
That wasn't your fault.
Alex isn't pursuing her dreams because she's so focused on protecting me.
And now that her mind is wiped, now that she doesn't remember her sister is Supergirl, she's finally free of that.
But not if I work with her as Kara.
Oh, man.
I feel like this mind wipe has hurt our family in so many more ways than we could ever foresee.
Maybe this is what's best for her.
Alex wants a baby, she wants a partner and now she's finally free to pursue that.
And no, I won't get to work with her, but I'll still have my sister.
And I'll still have you.
Got it! [MAN.]
The tip was right.
Oh, my God, all these agents are dead.
Spread out.
See if that alien's still here.
[MAN 2.]
I hope it's not still here.
[SCREAMS.]
All the loot is gone.
They took everything.
[SYMBIOTE.]
That's what humans on this planet always do.
Heart Association's Masquerade Ball.
It's time for me to start rebuilding my net worth.
She's heading to the Heart Association's Masquerade Ball downtown.
I'll send the video.
I'll send this out to my father's networks so they can get there and kill that thing.
Okay.
[PEOPLE CHATTERING.]
[STRING QUARTET PLAYING.]
I've always had a thing for a man with a diamond watch.
[SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
[GASPS.]
Love your necklace.
Hey! Every human, get out now! We're gonna kill that alien.
You know it's rude to yell at people.
[PEOPLE CLAMORING.]
You found her.
Not me.
The Children of Liberty.
They just uploaded footage of Menagerie at the National City Heart Association Masquerade Ball, which I must say is ironic.
Have a team meet me at the van.
Last thing this city needs is a live slaughter.
Girl, that Ball is right around the corner.
Hmm.
This neighborhood has really gone to the pits.
Where are you going? Move! Move! Children of Liberty, stand down.
Stand down! [SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
[SUPERGIRL.]
Menagerie.
[STRAINING.]
You should have better taste than to protect those people.
I protect everyone.
Your loss.
Literally.
[GRUNTS.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
[GASPS.]
[PANTING.]
- That was amazing! - I saw it in a dream.
[GRUNTING.]
Probably should've seen that, too.
Alex could use your help inside.
I'll deal with her.
[SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
However many symbeasts you unleash, I have the power to stop them.
You Kryptonians think you're so powerful on your own.
You know nothing of the symbioses that comes from being part of a team.
[GRUNTS.]
[SCREAMING.]
- There she is.
- Let's get her.
[SUPERGIRL.]
Don't kill her.
She's disabled.
I can bring her in.
No! We protected the humans of this city by killing a monster.
[MAN.]
Yeah! Not even Supergirl could do that.
- Liberty! - [ALL.]
Liberty! - Liberty! - [HALEY.]
Director? These officers will take it from here.
Colonel? The alien inside her was killed, so she no longer poses a threat.
The president wants her made an example of.
Sent to prison, instead of some black ops site where no one can see her.
Should the FBI be making a statement to the press? Let them know that the Children of Liberty actually made this whole thing harder? We spent more time protecting them than stopping her.
Well, then we'd have to give credit to Supergirl.
Oh, you think that would make things better with that crowd? It should've been us, Director.
Without any assist.
Supergirl is not the enemy, Colonel.
Yeah, but we have to start handling these aliens on our own.
I'll update you tomorrow on the president's plan to get us there.
Yes, ma'am.
[DREAMER.]
I thought we were done with the Children of Liberty.
[SUPERGIRL.]
They took credit for this win but the truth will prevail.
[DREAMER.]
I'm sorry you can't be down there with your sister.
We're still on the same team, just from a distance.
Nice suit.
It was my mother's.
And you were right, you know.
I honored her by fighting tonight.
You do realize you could've gotten yourself killed.
- Absolutely.
- Okay.
Yeah, there was, um, there was a lot that I should've seen coming.
Your powers give you the potential to be a great hero.
But you still have to learn how to control them.
So get to work.
So [GASPS.]
- Brainy.
- Yes, it is.
Look what he brought me.
Uh, yes, well, technically, I did give Yvette that heart-shaped box.
- It wasn't actually meant for her.
- It's fine, Brainy.
I don't need chocolates from you.
What I need is for you to help me train.
Oh, try the coconut.
It's the best one.
So, it seems all Valentine's candy goes to 80% off after midnight.
Whoa! You shouldn't have.
But I'm glad you did.
Hey, I, uh I wanted to apologize about before.
I just felt like this trigger went off when I thought I saw you get hurt.
I'm sure it was scary.
But all it did was just tear your jacket.
And look, I know this is the first time that you and I have been in a situation like this before, but I think my go-to response is just protect anybody that I see that's in trouble.
Whether they want me to or not.
But I realize that, you know, the person that I most often forget to protect is me.
Well, trust me, I won't be tagging along for any crime scene investigations anymore.
No, no, no, it's not you.
I need to start trusting that people can also protect themselves.
You know, that way I can just start focusing my energy into the things that I want.
And I'm finally ready.
Well, good.
'Cause I got that girl from Nia's party's number for you.
Oh! Becca, that's her name.
But I'm gonna call her.
And then I'm just gonna start pushing play on all the things that I wanna do.
And I'm gonna finish that adoption portfolio and submit the forms.
I can cheers to that.
Oh, yes.
I'm in.
[PRESIDENT BAKER.]
Did you find something? Yes, sir.
The Patriot Act only protects human life from acts of terrorism.
Lockwood can't be charged under it.
Get the White House counsel to sign off now.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
I wasn't afraid.
[BEN.]
Today is a good day.
The Children of Liberty protected the citizens of National City against a murderous alien, and the President of the United States finally understands that our one mission is to safeguard human life.
So I stand before you now, a free man, ready to continue to serve this great nation.
Thank you for your support.
[MAN WHOOPING.]
[DOOR ALARM BUZZING.]
Letter for you.
- From who? - Manchester Black.
[SLITHERING SOUND.]
[THEME MUSIC PLAYING.]
- Mom, what's happening? - It was your destiny to be my daughter.
- To be Dreamer.
- I have to be mind-wiped, too.
Happy to help, Alex.
I would really appreciate it if you would address me as Director Danvers.
Oh.
See you soon.
[CROWD CHANTING.]
Liberty! Liberty! [MAN ON RADIO.]
Police are on the lookout for a couple masquerading as partygoers who robbed the attendees at an event in an upscale enclave of Oaks Bluff.
No one was harmed but the couple appears to have absconded with several hundred thousand dollars in jewels and cash.
[CHUCK.]
We're getting famous.
You know the one they stole from Kim K looked just like this.
But these bracelets are way nicer than her Cartiers.
Hey, Bling Ring.
How about you stop admiring the loot and start paying attention to me, huh? I'm the one who got the shiner making our getaway.
That's because you're too slow, Chuckster.
Always underestimating how much rich people like holding on to their stuff.
What's this? Rich people's ball tomorrow night.
Could be another big score.
[SCREAMS.]
[CHUCK LAUGHS.]
You're a real idiot.
[CHUCK CONTINUES LAUGHING.]
Hey! Come around and help me out, Pamela.
Door's jammed.
What the hell did you almost crash us into? [WHISPERING IN ALIEN LANGUAGE.]
[SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
[YELPS.]
[KARA.]
Marshmallow roses are so good.
You should save one of those for J'onn, you know.
This one's for me.
You want one? They're delicious.
[ALEX.]
No.
- Hey! Happy Valentine's Day.
- Hey! Thank you so much.
And, oh, my gosh, this place is awesome.
I can't believe it's taken you weeks to finally have me over.
Well, I just wanted to get the place fully set up before you saw it.
Oh, I am so proud of you.
And I see we're not the only ones who gave you a Valentine's gift.
Well, most of these are from the aliens in my support group.
This box is from members of a Crime Watch I helped set up to catch taggers who were spray painting "Free Ben Lockwood" up and down the block.
And these flowers are from a Toomian whose lost family I found.
Well, it is amazing how many clients you've already helped.
I mean, you left the DEO with the goal to change your life, and you have.
I sense discontent in your voice.
How are things with Haley? Better? Um, she's been in Washington, so that's good, I guess.
It's just seeing how much you've accomplished, it reminds me of how little I've done since I took over the DEO.
You have not done little.
Mercy and Otis Graves.
Agent Liberty.
I mean in my personal life.
I took over the DEO to use that stability to finally be able to pursue the things that I want.
And I did, you know, at first.
- And I dated a lot.
- Oh, we know.
- [LAUGHS.]
- [ALEX.]
Yeah, well You know, and I was also working on my adoption portfolio but, you know, when President Marsdin got exposed, it kind of all just fell to the wayside.
It's weird because I feel like I have this capacity for so much more lately and I'm doing nothing.
Thank you.
Well, if you feel like getting back out there, I know Nia and her roommate are throwing a very happening Valentine's party tonight.
We could go together.
I could be your wing-woman.
- Why does that scare me? - [SCOFFS.]
- [CELL PHONE BEEPS.]
- [ALEX.]
Hold on.
Well, police found a car that apparently crashed trying to avoid an asteroid.
So, I'm gonna go.
Yeah.
Good to see you.
Yeah, you too.
- I love you both.
- Love you.
Now you're looking discontent.
I just miss her.
Being her partner in crime.
Thank you.
And now I need to get out of here before I eat all your Valentines.
[CHUCKLES.]
Oh.
Excuse me.
Go ahead.
Uh, Mrs.
Stuart.
Glad you found the place.
- Please, have a seat.
- Thank you.
So how can I help you today? I didn't know who else to call.
I think my husband's been kidnapped.
- [NIA.]
Brainy? - It is I.
And I'd like to make myself clear, since I did not last time.
I am not here for a date.
Happy Valentine's Day to you, too.
I sense sarcasm, which I find confusing in this context.
You see, I am here because Kara told me about your mother's passing, which I was very sorry to hear.
But having run simulations, I've deduced that there's an 87.
4% chance that you would now wish to train as a superhero.
And I have brought my most complex mind mazes to help you hone your skills and interpret your dreams.
Brainy, I know it's my destiny to have these powers.
But I'm still grieving, Brainy.
My mother passed away so suddenly.
Have you ever considered putting your grief into tiny boxes? That doesn't sound very healthy.
It could be.
Besides, then it would free you up to train and then join mine and Supergirl's crime-fighting family.
I would love to join your family someday.
But I'm just not ready to train right now.
Very well.
I shall take my mind mazes and go.
Brainy.
Brainy.
My roommate Yvette's having a Valentine's party tonight to try to cheer me up.
If you wanna come? Actually, I would I would love to attend.
Great.
Then it's a date.
[DOOR ALARM BUZZING.]
[DOOR CREAKING.]
Don't look so troubled, son.
Why not? You're locked up and you're the only one who's brave enough to stand up for humanity.
It isn't right.
Listen, the movement that was created, I have to believe will create the circumstances of my release.
But I wanna do something for you now.
Well, then be a man.
A man of action.
Be the man that your grandfather wanted me to be, but at your age.
[INTERCOM BUZZING.]
[MAN.]
Visiting hours are now over.
We should go.
We'll see you next week.
Hey, George.
Come here.
Uh [WHISPERED, INDISTINCT CONVERSATION.]
[INDISTINCT RADIO CHATTER.]
Colonel Haley? I didn't expect to see you so soon.
Yeah, well, I came back early to help my daughter.
- You have a daughter? - Don't look so surprised, Director.
I do have a life outside the service.
She was having trouble on a school project so I came back to help her.
You'd be impressed by what I can do with a glue gun.
It must've been nice for her to have some time with her mom.
You know, working with her was much more pleasant than my time at the Oval.
I take it that part didn't go over so well.
The president wanted answers I couldn't give him about the rage drug you dealt with the other week.
He's also dismayed that Ben Lockwood is polling better than he is.
Well, we're all dismayed by that.
Ma'am, you need to see this.
NORAD misidentified this as an asteroid, but it's some type of ship.
And whatever came out of it seems to have eaten this man's heart.
And nothing else.
Happy Valentine's Day.
It's like the creature extracted his heart perfectly.
There's minimal tissue damage.
There's no blood loss.
It's like it cauterized itself.
- A sophisticated killing.
- [GASPS.]
Much like its ship, which presented as solid rock.
Also, what's interesting is this creature's shed skin suggests it underwent some sort of metamorphosis quickly after arrival.
Which I do find comforting.
I would much rather face that than anything snake-like, which I do have a deep phobia about.
As any rational being would.
- You hate snakes? - Yes.
Much like the hero of the Spielberg epic, Raiders of the Lost Ark.
A terrific picture.
In any event, I analyzed the DNA from the creature's skin, and made a composite of what the beast might look like now.
Two more victims were just discovered.
They lived in a mansion a mile from where that pod landed.
Same exact cause of death.
We need to find whatever killed these people before we have a panic on our hands.
If my interpretation of the data is correct, this is what we're looking for.
What is it? Unknown.
I've updated the president.
He wants this kept out of the press.
Humans are already feeling so vulnerable.
We'll do whatever we can.
I'll be back in a few hours.
Update me with any progress.
Yes, ma'am.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
I love what you've done to the place.
- Looks like an actual newsroom now.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I know.
Like The Washington Post.
So what do I owe the surprise? Uh, well, the lady who came into my office as you were leaving, her husband is the Director of Alien Affairs.
- You mean, Anthony Stuart? - That's right.
That's right.
- He helped draft the Alien Amnesty Act.
- Right.
He and his wife have been getting a lot of threats ever since Lockwood was imprisoned, and last night he never made it home.
She thinks he was kidnapped? I imagine CatCo has a lot of research on Stuart.
I was hoping that I could give you the scoop, and in return, you could help with my investigation.
Whatever you need.
Sounds like it's an important story.
This is something I think the DEO might be interested in, too.
And if that's the case, per our conversation this morning, you can't work with Alex as Supergirl, but maybe you could team up with her on this.
It's Valentine's Day and you're being a matchmaker.
[CHUCKLES.]
Everything okay? Well, now that you're here with a very large present I took this on our last morning at the lake house together.
Open it, please.
This is how I see you when we're away from everything else and it's just you and I.
When it's perfect.
Let's go to Paris.
- Tonight.
- [CHUCKLES.]
For Valentine's weekend, away from everything else.
- You're serious? - Have you ever known me to joke? No.
Um, no.
But I've never known you to offer spontaneous trips either.
Are you sure everything's okay? James, we never just live in the moment.
You know, we should do that more.
Because we never know what tomorrow's gonna bring.
Come on, all right, listen.
If your billionaire girlfriend cannot whisk you away for a romantic holiday, then there really is something wrong with the world.
The lady has a point.
- The lady usually does.
- Mmm.
[KARA.]
Here's something.
Fred Roberts, a known member of the Children of Liberty.
He sent hate mail to Stuart after the Alien Amnesty Act was signed.
And then he was arrested and convicted for stalking him.
He was released from prison last week.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
No release address listed in the records I have access to.
But I think the DEO might have it.
Any luck narrowing things down? I am working on it.
Then why are you looking up Valentine's Day gifts? I am 85% focused, which is the equivalent to a very capable CSI team.
Now, I just have one other matter of importance to take care of, and once I do, I guarantee you 100% of my mind.
Unless, of course, you'd like to help out? In which case, I could stop multitasking sooner.
- I'm sure of it.
- I hate Valentine's Day.
[BRAINY.]
Hmm.
Hmm? Two minutes.
Today, Nia Nal invited me to attend a Valentine's Day party.
She said, "It's a date.
" Yet, her intentions were unclear.
"It's a date" does not sound unclear.
It never occurred to me that someone as amazing as Nia Nal would be interested in me.
Well, then, I guess the bigger question here is, what do you want? I want her to be my Valentine.
Well, then bring her a gift that expresses that.
What a bold idea from a very bold person, Alex Danvers.
Ugh, if only.
I mean, here you are, in the middle of a crisis, carving out time - to figure out your life.
- Multitasking.
Yes, can we get back to the search now, please? Absolutely.
In fact, I've just finished analyzing the police reports for the two additional victims.
It appears that beyond the deaths themselves, every piece of jewelry at their house was taken.
I understand the car where we found the first victim was involved in a jewel heist.
Those jewels were also taken.
Jewelry.
Gems and precious metals could be an additional source of nutrition for this alien.
Or potentially the alien requires the jewels as a resource for its planet.
In any event, it would suggest how this alien is choosing its victims.
If it's traveling on foot, that would give us a radius and a profile of victims for which to search by.
Well, triangulate and send me the addresses.
Hey, J'onn, is everything okay? I have a client whose husband, the Director of Alien Affairs, might have been the victim of a hate crime.
I could use your help tracking down a potential lead Kara helped me come up with.
I'm sorry, I've got an unidentified alien threat that I'm trying to track.
But you should call Brainy, I'm sure he could help.
He's great at multitasking.
She re-directed me to Brainy.
So much for my matchmaking skills.
Well, the lead was bad, anyway.
There's no release address for Roberts because he's already back in prison.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
Stuart's phone records.
It appears he made consistent calls to a number belonging to Madison Sinclair.
Nia wrote an article about her.
She's a diamond broker.
One of the people who invested in the East City project.
It appears he frequented a restaurant right by her house several times over the past couple of months.
And again this morning.
I don't think this was a hate crime.
I think he's having an affair.
And on Valentine's Day.
We still need to make sure he's safe.
[FEMALE REPORTER ON TV.]
A series of alien attacks has the citizens of National City in a place of deep unrest.
- I'm Colonel Lauren Haley.
- Yes, I'm aware.
to combat the alien menaces.
You're not surprised to see me in your office.
I'm a Luthor.
I've learned to expect the unexpected.
Now, what can I help you with? I'm here on behalf of the President of the United States to offer you a government contract.
For what purpose? People are terrified after the turmoil created by that drug that gave humans super strength.
The president understands your research is exploring this arena.
Ms.
Luthor.
We need to make the US military as powerful as our alien adversaries.
This is not what I had in mind when I started my research.
[FEMALE REPORTER ON TV.]
National City on high alert after reports of an unidentified alien feeding on human hearts.
Sources put the death toll at three already.
This is precisely why we need you.
I need to go.
I'll email you a proposal.
Please think about it.
[FEMALE REPORTER.]
Children of Liberty are calling for the immediate release of Ben Lockwood, stating that he is an American hero and not a terrorist.
Meanwhile, the Children of Liberty continue to grow their membership with new chapters arising throughout the city.
[MACHINERY WHIRRING.]
[GEORGE.]
Agent Liberty needs us to find this alien killer.
Let us be the ones who kill it in his name.
Then we can demand that he be set free.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
He's here, that's his car.
[KARA.]
Should we knock? Well, what if they're You know Well, I can't use my X-ray vision.
Ms.
Sinclair? Mr.
Stuart? He's right here.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
I found Ms.
Sinclair.
His heart's missing.
[GUN COCKING.]
[FEMALE AGENT.]
Freeze! Right there.
[MALE AGENT.]
Don't move! Hands in the air! - Everybody down! - Wait, hold your fire.
What are you two doing here? Kara, you don't need to be seeing all of this.
You should go.
I'm fine.
I've been to plenty of crime scenes, covering it for CatCo.
In fact, since I'm here, maybe I could help the investigation.
She is the one that helped find the lead that got us here.
You said you thought Ms.
Sinclair was being targeted by this alien because she was a diamond broker? Mmm-hmm.
Huh.
Whoa! It's a hidden door.
That's a good find, don't you think, Alex? Nice work, Kara.
This looks like this could be, I don't know, like, an acid, or maybe even venom, given the alien we're looking for.
Could you run it for trace radioactivity? Perhaps to track it? How did you know we could do that? Winn, always bragging about how he did things.
Off the record, of course.
Couldn't you get Brainy to scan it? Uh, yeah.
- Agent Dox.
- Yes, Director Danvers? - [LOUD MUSIC PLAYING.]
- Is that music? Where are you? I am at the party we discussed.
It was called for happy hour.
And I haven't yet conversed with the person we spoke about earlier.
Hey! This is my jam.
Stop talking to yourself and dance.
Also, it might be difficult for me to extricate myself at the moment.
Okay, well, stay put.
We're coming to you.
Hurry.
Why are you smiling like that? You said "we.
" Of course you did, 'cause Brainy's at Nia's and J'onn will fly us there.
[NEWSCASTER.]
Anthony Stuart, the Director of Alien Affairs was murdered today.
You have an update from Haley about this alien menace that killed him? The DEO's following all leads.
Please remind the colonel this is why our new initiative is so important.
And these Lockwood protests, they're starting to become a nuisance.
I think it's time we did something about him.
I'll bring you options tonight, sir.
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING.]
Brainy? You guys see him? Mmm-mmm.
That's a negative.
Alex? How've you been, stranger? It's Becca.
We had drinks.
Twice.
Becca.
Oh, my gosh, I'm so sorry I never called you.
I My life has just It's been so crazy.
It happens.
Wanna grab a drink? Um, you know what? Actually, I have to Come on, don't tell me you don't have time to at least catch up.
- Uh - Go, go, catch up.
We'll find him.
Oh, yeah.
Okay.
It seems like she didn't need a wing-woman.
Paris, here we come.
And not a moment too soon.
[DOOR ALARM BUZZING.]
[BEN.]
Hey.
I heard your call to arms and, uh, I'm really proud of you, George.
The Children of Liberty are out there searching for that alien killer.
I'm just not sure what to do next.
You gotta take care of it publicly.
People have to know that it's us.
I don't know if I can.
George, I know what it's like to be scared.
All of us do.
But then, then an opportunity can present itself, and like a switch, your whole world changes.
And you find clarity and focus, and strength like you've never known.
So what I need you to do is just look out for that opportunity and trust it.
And you will take it.
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING.]
I don't think he's here.
[BRAINY.]
I am right here.
[GASPS.]
Brainy? What are you doing in the closet? I just escaped Yvette, Nia's roommate.
Apparently, every song is her jam.
Do you have the samples? This will take a few minutes.
[KARA SIGHS.]
Well, you go.
I'll stay here.
You okay? Yeah.
Come sit.
You're gonna get through this, you know.
Just go easy on yourself.
And you have me.
You don't know how much I appreciate that.
Just think about how much your mother loved you.
And what she would've wanted for you.
And try to honor that.
She would want me to dream.
But my sister You can't let her stop you from embracing your destiny.
I hid who I was for far too long because of my family.
Even Alex didn't think it was a good idea at first.
At least now she knows everything and supports you.
Actually, um, Alex doesn't know I'm Supergirl anymore.
She had her mind wiped to protect her.
Yeah.
But I can't let that stop me from helping the people that need my help and doing the good that I can do.
And you could do a lot of good, too.
You're part of my family now.
And all heroes are welcome.
So catch me up.
The FBI must be crazy with all the stuff that's happening.
And your adoption, tell me you have a kid and that's your excuse for not calling.
A kid? Um, not yet.
Sorry.
I know how excited you were about it.
Yeah, I was.
I, uh, guess I kind of dropped the ball.
Then, pick it back up.
Um, will you excuse me? My friends, they need me.
I really am sorry that I didn't call.
- What did you find? - No radiation signature.
But I did find human DNA in the sample.
- It's another victim? - I would assume.
I found a match for the DNA in CODIS.
Pamela Ferrer.
But according to NCPD, she's yet to be reported as missing.
Do you have an address? Is a Klaramarian yellow? I, uh, think that means yes.
Yes, obviously.
Her home is actually just a few blocks away.
We should move out.
No, no, no, no.
Brainy and I will move out.
But that was so fun, seeing you in action at the crime scene.
Kara, it could be dangerous.
Think of it as a ride-along, the press tagging along to see how the government protects the city.
Yeah, I'll come along, too.
- All right, well, just stick together.
- Sure.
Pamela Ferrer, are you here? This is the FBI.
Pamela? I'm Pamela Ferrer.
Is there a problem? Yes, there is very much a problem.
- Brainy! - Pamela Ferrer's DNA was co-mingled with the alien venom we found.
They were linked.
Mandating contact.
She should not be alive, let alone unharmed.
With Valentine's Day, I must've been more preoccupied than I thought.
Because the only logical conclusion is that snake didn't morph into that creature I showed you, but rather it merged with that woman.
- The alien is a symbiote? - Yes.
I am 98.
9% certain that she is the beast we're looking for.
- [GRUNTS.]
- Whoa! [GASPS.]
Make that 100%.
Pamela, we just want to help.
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
There is something inside you making you do this.
- If you try to fight it - Fight it? Why would I fight it? This is the most powerful I have ever felt.
And I am not Pamela.
We are Menagerie.
[SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
[J'ONN J'ONZZ.]
Whoa! [GRUNTING.]
- I hate snakes.
- Kara, run! [SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
[ALEX.]
Kara! No! [MENAGERIE.]
Come.
- Are you okay? - It's totally fine.
She missed me.
I'm fine.
I told you it just ripped my jacket.
I found these.
Full of jewels and money.
It would appear Pamela Ferrer is a jewel thief.
Likely accomplice to our first victim.
Okay, so the hearts were for the symbiote and the jewels were for her.
Now that we know the symbiote's human counterpart, we can track her.
Okay, Brainy, you get back to the DEO, use your facial algorithm to find her and then I'll meet you back there after I take Kara home.
I told you, I'm fine.
I am tougher than you think I am.
Look, I would never forgive myself if something happened to you.
Kara, you're the most important person in the world to me.
Hey, your safety is my number one priority.
Nothing comes before that.
Uh, you know what? You're right.
I do feel a little shaky.
- I'll take her home.
- Okay.
Thanks, J'onn.
[SIGHS.]
All right, sweep this place.
Leave a patrol.
If she comes back, I wanna know about it.
[CELL PHONE BUZZES.]
The government wants to partner with me in my research into making humans super.
Lena, I know how much your research means to you, which is why I can't fathom why you would want to share it with the government.
I thought you supported my work.
Look, I know that I said that I understand this moral gray area that you're treading on.
But if you share your research with the government, they're gonna militarize it.
And who knows what kind of chaos that can create.
I know I said that I'd try to understand your point of view.
But I don't know if I can on this one.
Are you saying that forgiving me and us trying again was a mistake? No, no, no, I'm No, no, no.
There's no mistakes.
No, I love you.
And you love me.
But I also know you and I know that you're better than this.
I will not allow you to judge me for my using my science for the betterment of humanity.
That's fair.
Okay.
You're right and I don't want to judge.
But to be straightforward, I am never going to agree with you sharing your research with the government.
And I think that that could destroy us.
You're probably right.
I think you should leave.
So that's it then? It was always inevitable, wasn't it? Frank, stop the car.
[WHISPERING IN ALIEN TONGUE.]
[WHISPERING GETS LOUDER.]
[GASPS.]
Girl, are you okay? Yeah.
Just a bad dream.
I liked it better when you stayed up all night.
Now help me clean this up.
I'm not doing this work by myself.
We tried, but I can't work with Alex.
Not as Supergirl or as Kara.
She got spooked.
That doesn't mean she didn't enjoy working with you before that.
When she thought I was bit by that snake I've seen that look in her eyes a million times.
It's love, but it's also deep fear.
That's the depth of love we have for the people we care about the most.
But it's a problem when that love stops someone from going after what they want for themselves.
And you think that's what Alex does for you? Remember when she said she felt like her life was on pause and she didn't know why? And she couldn't figure out what was holding her back.
It's me.
I'm what's holding her back.
[SIGHS.]
She was doing so well this summer, she was dating again, she was moving forward with the adoption, and then that Kryptonite bomb hit and she dropped everything to take care of me.
Look, please don't blame yourself for that.
That wasn't your fault.
Alex isn't pursuing her dreams because she's so focused on protecting me.
And now that her mind is wiped, now that she doesn't remember her sister is Supergirl, she's finally free of that.
But not if I work with her as Kara.
Oh, man.
I feel like this mind wipe has hurt our family in so many more ways than we could ever foresee.
Maybe this is what's best for her.
Alex wants a baby, she wants a partner and now she's finally free to pursue that.
And no, I won't get to work with her, but I'll still have my sister.
And I'll still have you.
Got it! [MAN.]
The tip was right.
Oh, my God, all these agents are dead.
Spread out.
See if that alien's still here.
[MAN 2.]
I hope it's not still here.
[SCREAMS.]
All the loot is gone.
They took everything.
[SYMBIOTE.]
That's what humans on this planet always do.
Heart Association's Masquerade Ball.
It's time for me to start rebuilding my net worth.
She's heading to the Heart Association's Masquerade Ball downtown.
I'll send the video.
I'll send this out to my father's networks so they can get there and kill that thing.
Okay.
[PEOPLE CHATTERING.]
[STRING QUARTET PLAYING.]
I've always had a thing for a man with a diamond watch.
[SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
[GASPS.]
Love your necklace.
Hey! Every human, get out now! We're gonna kill that alien.
You know it's rude to yell at people.
[PEOPLE CLAMORING.]
You found her.
Not me.
The Children of Liberty.
They just uploaded footage of Menagerie at the National City Heart Association Masquerade Ball, which I must say is ironic.
Have a team meet me at the van.
Last thing this city needs is a live slaughter.
Girl, that Ball is right around the corner.
Hmm.
This neighborhood has really gone to the pits.
Where are you going? Move! Move! Children of Liberty, stand down.
Stand down! [SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
[SUPERGIRL.]
Menagerie.
[STRAINING.]
You should have better taste than to protect those people.
I protect everyone.
Your loss.
Literally.
[GRUNTS.]
[BOTH GRUNTING.]
[GASPS.]
[PANTING.]
- That was amazing! - I saw it in a dream.
[GRUNTING.]
Probably should've seen that, too.
Alex could use your help inside.
I'll deal with her.
[SLITHERING SOUNDS.]
However many symbeasts you unleash, I have the power to stop them.
You Kryptonians think you're so powerful on your own.
You know nothing of the symbioses that comes from being part of a team.
[GRUNTS.]
[SCREAMING.]
- There she is.
- Let's get her.
[SUPERGIRL.]
Don't kill her.
She's disabled.
I can bring her in.
No! We protected the humans of this city by killing a monster.
[MAN.]
Yeah! Not even Supergirl could do that.
- Liberty! - [ALL.]
Liberty! - Liberty! - [HALEY.]
Director? These officers will take it from here.
Colonel? The alien inside her was killed, so she no longer poses a threat.
The president wants her made an example of.
Sent to prison, instead of some black ops site where no one can see her.
Should the FBI be making a statement to the press? Let them know that the Children of Liberty actually made this whole thing harder? We spent more time protecting them than stopping her.
Well, then we'd have to give credit to Supergirl.
Oh, you think that would make things better with that crowd? It should've been us, Director.
Without any assist.
Supergirl is not the enemy, Colonel.
Yeah, but we have to start handling these aliens on our own.
I'll update you tomorrow on the president's plan to get us there.
Yes, ma'am.
[DREAMER.]
I thought we were done with the Children of Liberty.
[SUPERGIRL.]
They took credit for this win but the truth will prevail.
[DREAMER.]
I'm sorry you can't be down there with your sister.
We're still on the same team, just from a distance.
Nice suit.
It was my mother's.
And you were right, you know.
I honored her by fighting tonight.
You do realize you could've gotten yourself killed.
- Absolutely.
- Okay.
Yeah, there was, um, there was a lot that I should've seen coming.
Your powers give you the potential to be a great hero.
But you still have to learn how to control them.
So get to work.
So [GASPS.]
- Brainy.
- Yes, it is.
Look what he brought me.
Uh, yes, well, technically, I did give Yvette that heart-shaped box.
- It wasn't actually meant for her.
- It's fine, Brainy.
I don't need chocolates from you.
What I need is for you to help me train.
Oh, try the coconut.
It's the best one.
So, it seems all Valentine's candy goes to 80% off after midnight.
Whoa! You shouldn't have.
But I'm glad you did.
Hey, I, uh I wanted to apologize about before.
I just felt like this trigger went off when I thought I saw you get hurt.
I'm sure it was scary.
But all it did was just tear your jacket.
And look, I know this is the first time that you and I have been in a situation like this before, but I think my go-to response is just protect anybody that I see that's in trouble.
Whether they want me to or not.
But I realize that, you know, the person that I most often forget to protect is me.
Well, trust me, I won't be tagging along for any crime scene investigations anymore.
No, no, no, it's not you.
I need to start trusting that people can also protect themselves.
You know, that way I can just start focusing my energy into the things that I want.
And I'm finally ready.
Well, good.
'Cause I got that girl from Nia's party's number for you.
Oh! Becca, that's her name.
But I'm gonna call her.
And then I'm just gonna start pushing play on all the things that I wanna do.
And I'm gonna finish that adoption portfolio and submit the forms.
I can cheers to that.
Oh, yes.
I'm in.
[PRESIDENT BAKER.]
Did you find something? Yes, sir.
The Patriot Act only protects human life from acts of terrorism.
Lockwood can't be charged under it.
Get the White House counsel to sign off now.
[CROWD CHEERING.]
I wasn't afraid.
[BEN.]
Today is a good day.
The Children of Liberty protected the citizens of National City against a murderous alien, and the President of the United States finally understands that our one mission is to safeguard human life.
So I stand before you now, a free man, ready to continue to serve this great nation.
Thank you for your support.
[MAN WHOOPING.]
[DOOR ALARM BUZZING.]
Letter for you.
