Supergirl (2015–…): Season 5, Episode 15 - Reality Bytes - full transcript

Nia's roommate is attacked by a man targeting Dreamer; Dreamer refuses to give into men's threats and puts herself in the line of fire to stop him; Alex, J'onn and Kelly attempt to rescue a man stuck inside a virtual reality game.

What do you think it's gonna do?

[ALL] Whoa!

[CHILDREN LAUGHING]

- Shall we?
- Yeah.

[BOTH GIGGLING]

End simulation.

- End simulation.
- [BEEP]

End simulation!

End simulation!

[LOUD GASP]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]



Why didn't you end simulation?

Yeah, I tried. It didn't work.

And the failsafe button?

What, you mean that giant red
thing that screams "Push me"?

It's tied to your biometrics.
It appears when necessary.

Yeah, it disappeared
the minute I reached for it.

- What do you mean?
- I mean,

your failsafe failed.

Really? This is the first time
that I've ever encountered it,

but your experience will be reported

to our development team, Mr. Bates.

I assure you,
this glitch will be fixed.

Long before the launch of
Obsidian Platinum.

I can handle his exit interview
from here, Ms. Olsen.



[SUPERGIRL] Dreamer,
I'm sending him to you.

Nap time.

That was incredible!

You beat my record
for defeating a Dominator.

Well, you warmed him up for me.

Don't you have a date to get to?

Go! Get out of here. I want pictures.

[SIRENS BLARING]

Close off the street.
Secure the area.

You're welcome...

Director Dox.

Thank you, Dreamer.

Yes, um...

Thank you.

You already said that.

[WHOOSH]

Hey. What's the emergency?

Blue or purple?

- Oh, your date with William is tonight.
- Yes.

- Cancel it for me?
- No, I will not.

And, blue. Always go with
the blue. You know this.

I know. I know. But, I...

It's been two and a half years
since I went on a date.

What if I...

forgot how to do it?

You smile, and you laugh,
and your reach for the check.

[SIGHS] You make it sound so easy.

But the way, you should have
seen Nia today. She was on fire.

Yeah, I did. She was all over YouTube

and the news, and every other
platform I've never hear of.

I'm just so proud of her.

And you know what,
it just feels so good to know that if

I want to take a night off,

there's someone there
that can save the day.

After a productive dinner with
Crown Prince Raakaan El-Farah,

philanthropist Lex Luthor announced

that Obsidian Platinum's VR lenses
will soon be available in Quarac.

Gross.

Well, don't book your trip
to Bali just yet,

- we still have to deal with Lex.
- And we will.

We will stop him
and get him out of the DEO

and we'll get you back in there
where you belong.

You miss it, don't you?

Well, I mean,
I like to think that the DEO misses me.

But, yeah. Yeah, I miss it.

But, hey, you know what,
I am blazing a whole new trail here,

and tonight I will be
having a date with this guy.

Oh! Oh, is that,
that Martian weapon J'onn gave you?

What do you call it,
the Hand of the Solider?

- Yeah.
- How's training?

- Wanna see?
- Yeah.

- Right?
- Mmm-hmm.

- [ELECTRICITY BUZZING]
- Ow! God, this...

This thing is supposed to know
what I'm thinking,

but it's being very stubborn.

Well, like soldier like hand.

- [BUZZES]
- [YELPS] Don't scare me!

[LAUGHING]

[YVETTE] Isn't that Dreamer
something amazing?

I think she's more powerful
than Supergirl.

I don't know.
I think she probably has

her problems just like everyone else.

[YELPS] Oh, no.

You are not spending
another Friday night

on this couch, in sweats
housing rocky road.

I like ice cream.

Nia.

Sweet little Nia,

you are becoming a...
what's the word?

Loser.

And you're young, you're vibrant,

but if you sit on this couch,
crying over that weird little

man for one more minute,

you gonna develop
permanent mope face.

I am not moping over...

Barney. I just had a long day.

So, you need an even longer night.
Come on.

You going out with me.

I'm meeting my boyfriend at the
club, and I want you to meet him too.

Wait. I didn't know you were seeing
anyone. Where'd you meet him?

We've been together for three weeks.

And we met on Upswipz.

Yvette.

"Loves sunsets,

yachting, and hanging out
with my BFF Dreamer?"

How often do you hang out
with your "BFF Dreamer?"

She waved at me once.
That counts as a hey.

Besides, everybody
embellishes on those things.

- [CELL PHONE RINGS]
- It's Angus.

[SIGHS] He says
he cannot wait to meet me.

Wait, you haven't met him yet?

Well, not physically,
but emotionally,

it's like we've been
together forever.

Now get dressed.

Okay... all right.

- So, you've never played 8-Ball?
- What!

[SCOFFS] Are you kidding me?
I'm from Midvale.

We have pool halls on every
corner, okay?

- Okay?
- Okay, fine.

Maybe I've only played it
once in my life.

Okay, well, then we'll take it
one shot at a time.

For you.

Oh, 'cause you're such a pool shark?

Oh, yeah. I'm not that bad.

All right.

All right.

Let's just take it nice and soft.

[CHUCKLES]

- Beginner's luck?
- [LAUGHS]

[UPBEAT CLUB MUSIC BLARING]

Ooh! I can't wait to dance
with my man.

I have to go to the bathroom.

Don't take too long,
Angus will be here any minute.

You know, I was gonna ask if I can

buy you a drink, but I assume Angus

has already spoken for you?

He sure has. Loud and clear.

And I just missed
a text message from him.

Ah, he wants me to meet him outside.
Excuse me.

Angus?

An...

- You leaving early tonight?
- Yeah.

That place is way too crowded.

- Did you find your boyfriend?
- No, he'll be here in a minute.

Oh.

He should have suggested that
you meet at sunset.

What?

You favorite time of day...
is on a yacht

at sunset.

At least that's what you told
me in our first Upswipz chat.

And I don't think you'd lie to me.

Would you do that?

[ELECTRICAL BUZZING]

[GASPS]

Yvette?

[NIA] Are you okay?

Oh, my God, what happened to you?

Angus.

Your boyfriend did this to you?

He only pretended to like me.

He targeted me

so I can give this message
to Dreamer.

[PAPER RUSTLING]

"The world doesn't want
a trans superhero.

So crawl back under
the rock you came from...

came from, or I'll keep
attacking people like you."

Our profiler put together this sketch

based on your statement.

Is this the guy?

- Yeah, that's him.
- Thank you.

Now, we're still going over security

footage,
and questioning other patrons

but, please,

do not hesitate to call if you
remember anything that may help us.

Okay?

I'll show you out.

I'm gonna go lie down.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

Nia? Nia? Nia, thank goodness.

Are you okay?

Is Yvette?

Why didn't you call me last night?

- I would have been there...
- Yvette wanted to be alone.

She's not just hurt and
humiliated, she's heartbroken.

She thought this guy
really liked her.

And he was just targeting her
because she was trans.

He was trying to use her
to get to Dreamer.

What did he want with Dreamer?

He wants me to stop
being a superhero.

He's going after my community
to bully me into it.

Listen to me, Nia, listen.
We will find this guy.

Yeah, we will.

And when we do, I'll bury him.

Nia?

Look, I...

[SIGHS] I know this is
a personal attack,

but you have to trust that
when we find this guy the cops

are gonna put him behind bars.

Kara, I love you, but do not tell me

what I can and can't do right now.

There is no catching this guy
and redeeming him.

There is no hope speech
that can make this better.

- Nia...
- No.

Look, my community is vulnerable.

This happens more than
you could possibly know.

And there are guys just like
this jerk out there

who want to hurt us.

They want us to hide and to be afraid

to be who we are.

They wants us to disappear,
and it happens...

- every day.
- I know,

and what this guy did is horrible...

He's not the first,
and he won't be the last.

And we haven't exactly been
a priority for the cops.

So, just trust me when I say that I

am the one protecting this community.

And now this bastard is going after

my community, trying to erase me?

No.

No, this guy is over.

Look, I know that
you're hurting right now,

and I will never fully understand.

But, between us and the cops,

we will make sure justice is served.

Nia?

Just give us a chance.

Fine.

A few hours.

But then, I'm doing this my way.

[EXPLOSION]

I said shield!

[GRUNTS]

Alex, the Martian DNA in your weapon

will code itself to your
bio-electric pulses

allowing you to morph it
with a single thought.

But you have to let it in.

Yeah. Okay, Ollivander.

Is there any kind of instruction
manual for this thing?

I'm afraid not. It's instinctual.

Trust the weapon,
and it will trust you.

How am I supposed to trust this
if it keeps changing on me?

All right. Look, I know things
have been difficult for you

since leaving the DEO.

Life can be challenging
when there's no clear path.

Oh, no, no. I have a clear path.

Okay, it's stop Lex Luthor
from traipsing around the world

just cashing in on the goodwill
that he never earned,

and get my life back.

Now, let's do it again.

- [ALARM BUZZING]
- What is that?

J'onn, Alex, thanks for
seeing me this late.

No problem, Al.

My brother Trevor's missing.

He lives in my basement, but

I haven't seen him for about a week.

Did you file a police report?

I did... but then the cops
found this on his computer.

[J'ONN J'ONZZ] An invitation
to a weekend escape experience

at Obsidian Platinum's
Virtual Las Vegas.

Invite says to get a hotel room.

So, no disturbances could
pull the players away from

their virtual experience.

So the cops don't think that
he's missing. They think that

he's in some VR party binge.

Right. But that was a week ago.

Look, I'm telling you
this is not like Trevor at all.

Al, do you mind taking me
to your house?

I'd like to take a look around,
see what I can find.

And Kelly works for Obsidian North,

so she can get me into Virtual Vegas.

And if there's a chance
that Trevor is in there,

then I will find him, and he can tell

me where he is in the real world.

I really appreciate this.

Hey, no problem, Al.

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

Kara Danvers.

I hope this is important,
I'm very busy.

It is. It's about...

- Dreamer.
- Yes.

I just saw the coverage of her
victory over the Dominator.

No, it's not that.
She needs our help.

There's an attacker targeting
the trans community

trying to get Dreamer
to take her cape off.

That's awful.

I mean... it is only logical
that violence begets concern.

Listen, I know this guy's human,
but can you help me track him?

Consider it done.

So, the last thing that Al knows is

that his brother checked himself in

to some hotel who knows where,

and that he met up with some friends

at a place called the Escape Palace?

Yeah, located somewhere
in Virtual Las Vegas.

We figured that Trevor must
have paid cash for his room,

because there's no paper trail
of him anywhere.

So, I was thinking maybe I could
go into Virtual Las Vegas, and just

- see what I could find.
- Okay.

Now, these lenses are very
different than the original.

Okay?

Obsidian Platinum doesn't just
utilize the brain link,

it connects to your biology.

Which means what exactly?

So, in this version,
you're not just seeing virtual reality,

you're feeling it.

Cold will feel cold,
hot will feel hot,

everything will feel real.

So, once you're in, you'll be
in, what looks like a lobby.

There you will select
your desired experience.

You will see a panel
of virtual options,

mined from your own
thoughts and desires.

Virtual Las Vegas is one of these.

Okay, so what happens
when I get inside?

What are the rules?

That's the difference between
reality, and virtual reality.

Inside Obsidian Platinum
there are no rules.

Great. Sounds easy.

You'll get the hang of it. I promise.

Just remember, if you need to come
out, say "End simulation."

And if, for some reason,

it gets too intense in there
and you can't say that,

the program will launch
your failsafe button.

You can't miss it.

Just touch it,
and you will be pulled out.

And I'll be able
to communicate with you?

The whole time.

Okay, well...

bottom's up. [SIGHS]

I'm in.

[KELLY] Good. You should see
your experience options.

[VR DINGS]

Yeah, I do.

Did you find Virtual Las Vegas?

[STAMMERS] Yeah, I got it. Hang on.

There it is.

Vegas, baby...

Vegas.

[BIG BAND JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

Well, I know where I can go to find the
Siegfried and Roy interactive experience.

No, thank you, but

where am I gonna find
this Escape House?

[KELLY] Talk to the users inside.

Someone must know where it is.

But stay away from the people
with three lines on their necks,

- those are NPCs.
- What are NPCs?

Non-Player Characters.

AIs who populate the world,

not actual users.

- They won't know much.
- Okay.

[J'ONN J'ONZZ] He said he was meeting

with some virtual friends in VR?

[AL] Yeah, but I don't know
who they are.

I don't even know their avatar names.

Well, let's see what we can find.

[SIGHS]

I just don't understand.
When Trevor and

I first came to this planet together,

we were inseparable.

But, for the last few months,

all he does is retreat into VR.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

What is it?

I managed to track
down the user names

of two of Trevor's virtual friends.

We can get these to Kelly
at Obsidian North,

maybe she can help us
find out who they are.

That way maybe we could
maybe find Trevor.

Look, Al, do you have
anything personal of Trevor's?

Something with an emotional
connection that I could maybe use

to psychically trace him.

I gave this to Trevor to
mark our first year on Earth.

He wore it every day.

Till he switched to a smart watch.

Thanks, man.

Hey, look, we're gonna find him.

[BIG BAND JAZZ MUSIC RESUMES]

Oh.

Hey, you think real Vegas
buffets are intense,

you need to try the
all you can eat to

get you to he perfect
state of fullness.

No matter how much you eat,
you feel great.

I'll keep that in mind
for the next time. Thank you.

You wouldn't happen to know
where I can find a place called

the Escape Palace, do you?

Escape Palace?

You mean that spooky looking
joint up on the hill?

Ridiculous add-on if you ask me.

They don't have hills like that
in the desert.

- Right, uh... thanks.
- Sure thing, kid.

[MAN] Hey, blue eyes,
bring me the lobster.

So many calories.

[KELLY] He's right.
That house is a recent add-on,

customized by a user.

Okay, so what does that mean?

Advanced users can
customize the virtual world,

but it takes time to catalogue
these additions in our system.

- So, I don't know what we can expect.
- [EXHALES SHARPLY]

Well, if Trevor's in there,
then I gotta check it out.

I'm going in.

- [LOUD BANG]
- I don't like this.

Oh, my God.

This is just like when Rick
Malverne tried to drown me.

Okay, the user who created this palace

designed it to tap into
a player's worst fears.

That makes the experience
different for everyone.

And harder to escape.

But, this isn't real,

there's nothing to be afraid of.

Help. We've been trapped for days.

[ALEX] Wait, you can talk?

End your simulation.

I can't.

It's part of the game.

Then the failsafe disappeared.

What? I reported that glitch
months ago.

Somebody must have hacked it.

Alex, you need to get them
out of there.

If they've been tortured for days,

there could be serious repercussions.

I thought you said this wasn't real?

But they think it is,
and with Obsidian Platinum,

it feels real.
This is why we have a failsafe.

- It's encoded with a biometric...
- Okay, Kelly,

just in English. What are you saying?

If you don't break through
those tanks right now,

they could suffer brain damage.

Okay.

All right.

[THUDS]

[GLASS SHATTERING]

- [THUDS]
- [KELLY] You did it.

Okay, now give me the names
and locations, so I can send

teams in to eject them.

Tell your teams to hurry.

On it. I'm gonna figure out why
the failsafe didn't trigger.

Listen, I'm gonna
get you guys out of here.

But we're looking for a man
named Trevor Crane.

Have you seen him in here?

Trevor's done a bunch
of escape rooms with us.

He and the new guy Richard

solved the puzzle quickly
and made it through,

but that door slammed shut.

We were about to follow when spiders

suddenly started
crawling all over me.

And I hate spiders.

Whose idea was it to come
to this escape experience?

It was Richard's.

How well do you know him?

He's new to the group.

I need to get to him
before it's too late.

So, you're saying this Richard person

intentionally dropped Trevor in VR?

[KELLY] It looks that way.

He's figured out
a glitch in the system

that prevents people from
safely ejecting.

Well, I followed the psychic
trail from Trevor's watch to

a house outside Opal City.

I'll let you know what I find out.

Excuse me.

- Can I help you?
- I hope you can.

[ELECTRICAL FLASHES]

Hi, Detective Rivers, it's Nia Nal.

I wanted to see if there was
any updates on Yvette's assault.

We're still reviewing
surveillance footage from the

club and surrounding businesses

and processing the physical evidence.

So, you're saying you're nowhere?

I can assure you, I will do
everything in my power to catch him.

I appreciate that.

I gave you your chance.

Sorry, Kara.

Now it's time to do
everything in my power.

[BEEPS]

Come and get me.

Mrs. Bates are you sure you
don't know Trevor Crane?

A number of leads
have led me to this address.

Perhaps he's using an alias?

No. Sorry.

Could he be a friend
of your spouse's?

No, I don't think I've
ever heard Richard mention him.

- Your husband's name is Richard?
- Yes.

Jennifer, I'm gonna need you
to stop lying to me.

Right now, Trevor is trapped in a

high-level virtual reality experience

by a man named Richard.

- Possibly being tortured.
- But that's not possible.

- So, you do know him?
- Yes.

Kind of.

We've been spending
some time together in VR.

- Like an affair?
- No.

I have never met him in real life.

It's just harmless fun.

Does your husband know about this...

harmless fun?

My husband can be a little...

possessive.

So, I do my thing in VR,
and he does his.

He's a computer engineer in love
with all the technical details,

and me, I just want to

escape for a few hours.

Regardless, I need to find Trevor

and your husband as soon as possible.

Or they could both suffer
permanent damage.

[REIFF] Director Dox?

I found over 200 social media
groups, and message boards,

all catering to trans hate groups.

- They're on this drive.
- Thank you.

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

That will be all.

[EXHALES]

- It's no use.
- J'onn located Richard's wife.

Richard's a computer programmer.

We think that he made the escape
experience as a way to trap Trevor

because Trevor was having a
virtual affair with Richard's wife.

Oh, you've got to be kidding me.

I know, and I need to have
a conversation with Andrea

about unintended uses
of Obsidian Platinum.

All right.

Now, any ideas of how
I can get through this door?

If you concentrate hard enough,
you can override Richard's program.

Bend it to your will, not his.

- [DOOR OPENS]
- I did it.

Kelly?

It is totally different in here.

Kelly?

- Can you hear me?
- Alex?

Alex, are you there?

This shouldn't be possible,

but it looks like Richard customized

the room to block remote monitoring.

Hello?

Trevor?

Okay.

I'm going in.

Maybe put Yvette's quote
at the top of the third graph.

Brilliant.

"Over 24 trans people
have been murdered

in this country in the past year."

The true number's likely much higher.

Many of these attacks go mis-reported

because victims are
misgendered in police reports.

Nia was so angry.

I get it, this is so frustrating.

I wish we could do more to help.

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

Hang on.

Brainy, what's up?

I'm sending you
an Upswipz profile Nia created.

It appears she's trying to
lure out Yvette's attacker

by using herself as bait.

[SIGHS]

I'll talk to her, and, Brainy,

thank you.

So, something came up,

- would you mind...
- Covering for you?

Of course.

[NIA TYPING]

You wanted Dreamer,

well, now you've got her.

Trevor Crane?

I'm Alex Danvers.

Your brother sent me.

[SIGHS] Oh, thank God.

It's happening again.

[WHIMPERING] Stay back!

[ALEX] What?

Please make it stop!

Okay, I don't understand,
just talk to me.

- Trevor?
- [EXPLOSION]

[GASPING]

What the hell just happened?

I don't know.

At first, I thought I was standing
on some kind of a land mine.

If I take a step, I explode, but

standing still doesn't
work either. I still blow up.

It's random.

And the pain... [VOICE BREAKING]

- It's horrible.
- Okay, just... focus.

Okay, where is Richard?

[TREVOR] I don't know.

I think he planned this whole thing.

Sometimes he shows up
just to watch me explode.

- It's happening again.
- No, you can fight this.

- You just have to...
- Look out.

[THUDS]

End your simulation.

- I am not leaving here without Trevor.
- Yeah?

Okay, well, then I'm gonna show you

how real this can be.

'Cause this is my house!

And this is my gun.

- [GUN FIRES]
- [LOUD GASP]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

You're not getting rid of me
that easily.

[THUDS]

Easy, tiger.

[GASPING]

Are you okay?

[CRACKLING]

Get back. I can't control it.

No, no, I'm not going anywhere.

And you can control this, Trevor.
You need to will it to stop.

All right, you make the rules now.

Come on.

That's it.

That's it. [CLAPS] You got this.

- It worked.
- Yeah.

- You were right.
- I knew you could do it.

All right, listen to me.
Give me your location.

I will go out and I will get help.

I'm at the National City Grand.

Room 315.

Okay, you just hang on
and you try to stay calm.

End simulation.

[SIGHS]

Alex, I couldn't reach you.
What happened in there?

I just fought Richard,
blasted him clean out of VR.

But how? That shouldn't be possible.

We'll figure that out later.

I found Trevor.

I'm gonna call J'onn
and give him his address.

No, I'll get him.

But I need you to send a
paramedics to the Coastline Motel.

Room 10.

[LOUD THUD]

- Looking for me?
- [CHEEKY LAUGH]

You weren't supposed to be here.

Got something you wanna say?

Yeah.

I don't think

you're the right kind of role model.

- That's not for you to decide.
- Well,

somebody has to stand up
to you people.

You stand up by hiding behind
a fake name online?

And by attacking innocent people?

It worked, didn't it?

[GRUNTS]

[THUDS]

- You make me sick.
- No, you make me sick,

you twisted freak!

You show up on the scene
one day tricking dudes

into thinking that
you're this hot new superhero.

The girl next door,

but heroes are supposed to
be virtuous,

and honest, and here you are

lying!

I get it.

Your fragile ego was just shattered.

Your sense of self is so shaky,

that anything outside your
narrow world view threatens it.

[SUPERGIRL] Dreamer, don't.

Stay out of this. This is my fight!

And you won. Look at him.

Don't let him turn you
into something you're not.

Why should he get to live?

If you do this, you will take
a piece of his darkness and

carry it with you forever.

When you put that suit on,
you became a symbol.

You give people hope.
Don't let them down

by stooping to his level.

Now, please, let's just turn him in

and make sure he faces justice.

You can't promise that'll happen.

No, I can't.

And I understand...

You feel like you're the only
one protecting your community,

but you're not alone.

You have me.

And Alex and J'onn and, yes,

even Brainy in his heart of hearts.

And maybe we all should have
opened our eyes to the realities

that your and your
community face every day.

But now we have.

And now we will all have
our eyes open

for people like him.

[DREAMER GRUNTS]

You are going to prison

- for a long time.
- [BREATHING HEAVILY]

And when you're out,

I will be watching you.

And if you ever

make a move against anyone
in my community again,

I will give you a nightmare

you will never wake up from.

Nia?

[NIA WHIMPERING]

Hey. Hey. It's okay.

Kara, I almost murdered
someone tonight...

[CRYING] and I still kind of want to.

I know.

I don't wanna be a killer, but...

Kara, I'm not okay.

I am so overwhelmed.

And this guy
just triggered everything.

I had a dream flash

right before Yvette was attacked
and I couldn't interpret it.

I couldn't save Yvette,
just like I couldn't save my mom.

I couldn't stop that guy and my

powers are mixed up

and unpredictable! And I...

And the one person

who supported me from day one,

who was always by my side,

who saw me for who I am, and...

looked at me like I was beautiful.

It just broke my heart.

And I don't even know why.

I wish I had answers for you.

I'm so sorry.

[WHIMPERING]

When that bastard
attacked my community,

the one thing
it felt like I had left...

I snapped.

At least this was something
I could control.

I could find this guy and stop him.

Permanently.

I could do something to protect

someone.

I felt that kind of pressure before.

That anger...

but I wasn't looking at things
through your eyes

and your experiences...

And I'm so sorry.

And I know, I know,

sometimes being the good guy sucks.

Especially when you know how easy
it would be to just get rid of

someone so vile and full of hate.

But, hey,

not doing that...

that is what makes us
different from them.

That's what let's us
keep protecting people,

and your community needs you.

They need Dreamer.

And I'm so sorry. I didn't know
how much pain you were in.

- [SOBBING]
- Oh!

[KELLY] Okay, relationship talk.

Let's decide right now that any
virtual romance is cheating.

- Deal.
- Yeah.

Also, virtual torture,

that is definitely real
attempted murder.

Yeah. There are a lot
of open questions

about ethics and morality
in the virtual world.

You okay?

I do truly believe that what we're...

What I am doing at
Obsidian North can help people.

I just, I feel so guilty

and angry that someone would take

advantage of our
technology like that.

Use our tools as a weapon?

Maybe there should
be some regulations

on who can use Obsidian Platinum.

I agree.

But I flagged that glitch months ago,

and I was promised that
it was taken care of.

[DOOR CLOSES]

Alex?

Trevor.

Hey, it's...

It's so good to see you out.

I'm so glad that you're okay.

I really wanted to meet you

in the real world, to thank you.

You saved my life.

Wanna have a drink?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

- This is Kelly.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- She's kind of part of it, too.

We don't have to worry
about that creep anymore.

He's going to prison for a long time.

What are you doing?

Deleting my Upswipz account.

And all social media accounts.

Yvette, you can't do that.

I have had it
with putting myself out there.

Making myself an easy target.
I'm done.

He was just one bad person.

You can tell yourself that, Nia,

like I did,

but I should have known better.

I'm a trans woman of color.

Okay, I know what we're up against.

I wanted Angus so badly to be real.

For someone to care about me,
to get me, to adore me.

- It never got to be true.
- It will be.

You will find that kind of love,
Yvette, but not if you shut down.

They want us to be invisible...

because of their own fears.

They want to erase us

so we need to shine even brighter.

You are a beautiful woman.

Big beautiful life,

and sharing that life
is what will change this world.

[BRAINY] The bigot you
arrested, Gregory Bauer,

belongs to an online hate
group specifically targeting

the trans community.

I took the liberty
of identifying its users.

The group boasts about future
attacks and takes credit for others.

I believe you will find some
leads to your cold cases in there.

I... I don't know what to say.

The DEO takes threats against our
sister superheroes very seriously.

[ALEX] Ready for another round?

[SIGHS] Come on!

I can make you do anything
in the virtual world!

But that wasn't
your real weapon, Alex.

You have to give it time
to bond to you.

Let's do this again tomorrow.

J'onn, really?

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

Mom, hey.

What's wrong?

Alex?

What is it?

Mom just called me.

They found Dad.

Jeremiah?

[SLOW POP SONG PLAYING]

He's dead.

[HEART RATE MONITOR BEEPS]

There you go, Mr. Bates,

you just rest easy.

I've got you now.
