Supergirl

Kara: When I was a child, my planet Krypton was dying.

I was sent to earth to protect my cousin.

But my pod got knocked off-course

and by the time I got here,

my cousin had already grown up

and become superman.

And so I hid my powers

until recently when an accident forced me to reveal myself to the world.

To most people

I'm an assistant at catco worldwide media.

But in secret, I work with my

adoptive sister for the deo

to protect my city from alien life

and anyone else that means to cause it harm.

I am supergirl.

Kara: Previously on supergirl...

James?

You've created a force that could take over the galaxy.

And all of it will be ours.

Everyone in the city is affected by this alien signal.

-Catch. -Kara: They're acting like automatons.

No!

Oh, my god.

If you come to national city, myriad will take over you too.

I am going to help her...

...whatever the cost.

I am not going to fight my sister.

Non: You have no choice.

Kill Alex danvers or let her kill you.

Either way...

You lose.

Ugh.

Alex, I know you're in there.

This isn't you. You don't wanna do this.

You left me no choice.

You're reunited with astra in the light of rao,

you tell her her wishes have all come true.

Eliza: Alex, stop!

This isn't you.

The martian's protecting your mind.

Who knows for how long, by the looks of him.

As long as he has to.

If only you could have protected Alex's.

Now her mother has to watch.

Alex, you can beat this.

I know you can.

You're not gonna hurt me. You're not gonna hurt Kara.

We are a family.

Stronger together.

Alex, you are the strongest of us all.

Your father always said that.

I know he's watching over you.

I know he'd be so proud.

Your father believed in you.

I believe in you, too.

You are Alex danvers

and nothing on earth can change that.

So, come back to us, sweetie.

Please, come back.

-Mom? -Yes.

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

-I'm sorry. -It's all right.

I'm so sorry.

So, supergirl's plan is to broadcast a symbol...

-Of hope. -Of hope.

-With a speech. -A speech?

Also about hope.

But how will she cut through myriad and reach the people?

Supergirl is my protege,

reaching people is what I do.

Plus, there is scientific evidence that supports my plan.

-Max? -Maxwell: Myriad works by shutting down

the connection between the amygdala

and the rostral anterior cingulate cortex.

The parts of the human brain that give rise to optimism and hope.

Under myriad, i could see, i could hear,

but it was like i was a complete stranger to myself.

And then my mother said something about my father

and it was like a switch went off in my brain.

I could suddenly feel again.

I could feel hope.

And that's what she's gonna give them

once Max can kick start the connections.

If. This equipment's a dinosaur.

If I can get her speech on TV

and the symbol on computers and phones,

I'm even more of a genius than I thought.

Okay, we're ready.

Okay. She's ready too.

In three, two...

People of national city.

This is supergirl

and I hope you can hear me.

We have been attacked.

Mothers and fathers,

friends and neighbors, children, everyone,

suddenly stopped by a force of evil

as great as this world has ever known.

Your attacker has sought to take your free will,

your individuality,

your spirit.

Everything that makes you who you are.

When facing an attack like this,

it's easy to feel hopeless.

We retreat, we lose our strength,

lose our self.

I know.

I lost everything when I was young.

When I first landed on this planet,

I was sad and alone.

But I found out

that there is so much love in this world

out there for the taking,

and you, the people of national city,

you helped me.

You let me be who I'm meant to be.

You gave me back to myself.

You made me stronger than I ever thought possible,

and I love you for that.

Now, in each and every one of you,

there is a light, a spirit,

that cannot be snuffed out.

That won't give up.

I need your help again.

I need you to hope.

Hope.

That you will remember that you can all be heroes.

Hope.

That when faced with an enemy

determined to destroy your spirit,

you will fight back and thrive.

Hope.

That those who once may have shunned you will,

in a moment of crisis, come to your aid.

Hope.

That you will see again the faces of those you love

and perhaps even those you have lost.

I love you, Kara.

It's working.

Myriad has failed.

I have failed.

But I refuse to let astra's entire life

be undone by that...

That child.

Your only failure was dreaming too small.

There are endless worlds out there to conquer, my love.

Worlds without that bleeding heart blonde Kryptonian.

-What do we do? -We finish off the job.

We kill the humans

and we leave Kara Zor-El behind

as queen of a dead earth.

Thank you.

That's more like it.

-Winn: Kara. -Hi.

Hey.

Hey, listen, um...

Just the things that we said to you...

What he's trying to say is that we're sorry.

It wasn't you. This is you.

Um, and thanks, you know,

-for saving our lives. -Yeah.

Hey, Kara,

nobody could have saved all three of us. Not even Clark.

Well, the deo is working to find non and indigo,

and when they do,

they'll pay for what they did.

James: Yeah.

Well, I'm just happy that you're safe

and the three of us are back together.

Me too.

But I think we should talk about that thing that happened, uh,

right before myriad struck.

The thing.

Yeah, the thing thing.

The thing.

Hmm.

Oh, this thing has nothing to do with me.

All good. I got other things.

-You kissed me. -I kissed you.

You did.

So, I'm sorry if I kissed you when you weren't in control of yourself,

because I am all about consent.

I know. I was myself.

Mostly.

And how did yourself feel about that?

Cat: The morning meeting was to begin 16 seconds ago.

You people were more punctual when you were drones.

-Scurry! -Later?

-Later. -Cat: Today, please.

-Uh, after the scurrying. -Yeah.

General Lane: Lucy.

I'm glad you're here.

Did you have any doubt that I would come?

So, how is it that superman is still down for the count?

We don't know.

We're hoping he regains consciousness soon.

You can re-secure the prisoner j'onn j'onzz now.

You're cuffing him? He's wounded.

He just helped save this whole city. All of us.

What he has done subsequent to his crimes
