Supergirl

Previously onSupergirl...

I'd do anything to just know my mom.

You know, my Phantom Fear Vision was about her.

Facing that Phantom allowed me to break through and finally let go.

I'm gonna go home.

-To Luthor Mansion? - No.

To where I was born.

I'm free.

I haven't forgotten our deal.

You will have your mother back for one day, as promised.

But this will sap the last of my power.

My darling, what have you done?

You've unleashed a force of hell on earth.

We picked up an energy signature coming from the Ormfell.

It could be residual from my heat vision.

-Nyxly. -Miss me?

No!

You're bound by magic now.

And only magic can beat magic.

Mr. Mxyzptlk!

Nyxlygsptlnz? Supergirl?

Mxy, get me out of here.

No, you don't.

He's mine.

What is she talking about? I summoned you.

Unfortunately, you both did.

Although it is lovely to see you again, Your Highness.

Really?

Better than 300 years ago when you stood before a judge

and called me... crazy.

You were trying to destroy most of the Fifth Dimension.

Only those that betrayed me.

But not to worry.

Now you'll get what you deserve.

I thought you two were friends.

Long story. Just know imps can track each other when they use magic.

So when I snap you out of there,

be ready to fly us away like our lives depended on it.

Three, two, one!

Her name is Nyxly?

Officially, the Princess Nyxlygsptlnz.

Whatever it is, she is the reason that my father and I

almost stayed trapped in the Phantom Zone forever.

And the reason I wouldn't be here if Mxy hadn't saved me.

And before anyone says anything,

I know I should have told you guys about her sooner,

but I really didn't think I would ever see her again.

She must have hitched a ride on the Tower ship

when we portal-jumped back to Earth.

The Coluan is right.

But she was going to escape the Phantom Zone sooner or later.

What do you mean?

What she'd learned from her father.

You're kidding?

Wicked King Brpxz?

Doesn't ring a bell? Wow, okay.

I can explain everything.

-Whoa! Whoa! -Wait, wait.

You told Supergirl that you could sense each other's energies.

That means that even with the Tower's cloaking shields,

Nyxly can track your magic here.

Okay.

I can explain everything

with words.

Unless this place has a decent sound system?

But hold on, I'm confused.

Because she told me that her brother was dead.

That her father killed him.

She was probably speaking metaphorically.

I mean, since they both rebelled and she was banished

and the golden son was rewarded, he's probably dead to her.

Okay, fine. But what are these totems?

And what's this AllStone?

Thousands of years ago, there was an evil imp named Jyrryd,

and he created an all-powerful AllStone

to give him mastery over... everything.

"Everything," as in...

Everything. Energy, matter, magic, even life and death.

The other imps found out about it.

They banished Jyrryd and they blew up the AllStone,

scattering the pieces throughout the known universes

where they became the totems of truth,

destiny, love, dreams, hope, humanity and courage.

Pretty much every planet has a set.

I'm sorry, but what does any of this have to do with Nyxly

showing up to put you in a crystal?

Nyxly needs the totems... to make a new AllStone,

but the totems can be disguised as literally anything,

so she needs a magical orb to find them.

Jyrryd's crystal.

So it's like a homing beacon?

She had a crystal ball at the Ormfell and in the Phantom Zone.

To give power to the crystal, the orb needs to have an imp

with the blood of Jyrryd inside it.

And guess who has two thumbs and is Jyrryd's last descendant?

It's also why I had to testify against Nyxly.

King Brpxz made me, by the way.

Nyxly wants to capture you in her crystal,

which she can use to find the seven totems

that will give her ultimate power.

Or we could say it...

-From the bridge, everybody. - Stop.

No.

We can still fix this.

It's all my fault.

That's not true.

It's not like you consciously chose

to bring an insane imp to terrorize the Earth.

Still, if things are as you say with the Ormfell Building bomb,

Nyxly used Dr. Raab's plans to build a device

that could transform Kryptonian powers into Fifth Dimensional energy.

If that's how she repowered herself, couldn't we reverse the plans

to build something to depower her?

We can still do this.

Wow.

You would do all this just for me?

That and to save the universe.

Don't worry.

Nobody puts Mxy in a crystal on our watch.

Nia, are you all right?

Nia?

Hmm?

Yeah, just trying to track down where the police are keeping Mitch.

He may know something, too, but their system is just so slow.

We swore "no more secrets."

All right. Follow me.

So you brought Nyxly out of the dream realm

in exchange for seeing your mother?

I know.

My mother made it perfectly clear what a bad decision it was.

-It's horrible. I'm horrible. -No.

Nia.

Nyxly used you.

That doesn't matter.

Now I'm dreaming of Mxy, dead in some awful imp ice cage.

I let Nyxly out with no way to stop her.

Do you remember when Lex used me?

When he did, I was certain we were all going to have

an awful future which I couldn't stop.

And then you and the rest of our friends helped defeat him

and changed the future for the better.

So what should I do?

Focus on stopping this imp with the rest of us.

And tell Kara.

No, I can't.

I did the exact opposite of what a real hero would do.

She would lose all respect for me.

She'll understand that Nyxly manipulated you.

She's on the same team as you are...

As am I.

Then just help me figure this out, myself.

Please?

-Andrea? - Lena!

How's Newfoundland?

Full of charming coastline.

And an easy journey, thanks to the CatCo jet.

It was my pleasure.

You know, I have to say, I think the last time you sounded this good

was back in boarding school.

For so many years, thoughts of my mother caused me so much pain.

But... you know, to finally have moved past that,

to be in the town where she grew up...

Frankly, it's a relief.

By the way, did you get that picture I texted you?

I did. You are your mother's spitting image.

But who are the others?

Based on the letters I found in Maine they're her childhood friends,

Florence Abbott and Margaret Bishop.

If my research is correct, Margaret still lives in Fortune Bay.

There's so much I don't know about my mother.

I'm hoping she can fill in the gaps.

Promise you'll let me know if there's anything else I can do.

Actually, there is.

The other woman in the photo on the right,

Florence, I haven't been able to locate her.

If having a media empire is good for one thing, it's digging things up.

I'll call you if I have something.

Until then, happy hunting.

Thanks. Bye.

-Ms. Luthor? -Hello.

It is you!

I'm Dee-Dee, your innkeeper.

And may I say we are honored to have you in our town.

In our inn!

-Do you have bags? David! -Yeah.

Hello, ma'am.

So what brings you to our corner of the island? Luthor business?

It's not business at all. It's personal.

My mother grew up here.

Your mother? How wonderful.

Six degrees of separation and all.

-What was her name? -Elizabeth Walsh.

She was just a dirty witch.
