Supergirl (2015–…): Season 6, Episode 15 - Hope for Tomorrow - full transcript

Nyxyl tries to get the Hope Totem, and the Super Friends try to hold the world together when hope is lost. Kelly and Alex deal with their first day as mothers when Esme fears that her new family will abandon her, and Nxyly realizes that there is an easier way to get the Totems stealing them one at a time.

Previously on Supergirl...

We're in a race against a vengeful
Fifth Dimensional imp named Nyxly

to find seven Totems before she can
use them to wipe us out of existence.

How am I going to hunt down
the other Totems

if I don't stop feeling?

I'm giving everyone
their humanity back.

We have two Totems.

The next Totem's at The Hague.

We're going to the Netherlands.

It's only a matter of time
till you get a new foster family.

One that can help you
understand your powers.



I'm never going to have a real home.

Esme's not here yet, right?

I didn't miss it?

- No, no, you're safe.
- Okay.

No, Kelly's still on her way.

Did you really have to bring
the whole store?

I mean, she's just one little girl.

One really little girl.
God, she's so cute.

I had to make a good impression.

And don't judge me.
You guys are painting an entire wall.

Uh, excuse me, that mural represents
hope and dreams,

with a guardian protector
to keep all who enter safe.

My father painted something similar
in my daughter's room back on Mars.

I thought it was important
to continue the family tradition.



Well, so do I.

I stopped by Eliza's

and this is every
stuffed animal and blanket

she ever got me to make me feel
more comfortable when I first landed.

Look!

You're going to make
a great Aunt Kara.

Thank you, Grandpa J'onn.

And, Mama Alex, I can't believe
this is actually happening.

I know. I mean,
I'm just... It's like I can't breathe.

You know, I'm so excited,

and then I'm just terrified,
you know.

I just can't believe it happened
so quickly with Esme.

It's emergency hearing,
and then it's provisional custody,

and six months fostering
and she's ours, permanently.

We're here.

Oh, gosh, I can't...

You got this.

Here it is, this is your room. Go, look.

This is really my room?

Yes, and, um, we hope that you like it.

But, you know, if you don't, we can...

We can change anything,
or we can change everything.

If there's a game that you don't like,
we'll just ditch it.

You don't like the bedspread?
Totally fine.

- The desk and...
- Alex.

- ...the rocket ship, if there's...
- Alex, I think she's got it.

Of course she does.

Um, Esme...

this right here is my sister Kara.

Hi, Esme. It's very nice to meet you.

You know, I was adopted, too,
by Alex's mom and dad.

And look, I actually brought you
the things they got me

to make me feel more at home
when they took me in.

Do you like stuffed animals?

I already have one. Her name is Lovey.

Well, our home is Lovey's home, too.

Very cute.

And this is J'onn.

He's been like a dad to Alex
since forever.

Hi.

It's very nice to meet you, J'onn.

It's wonderful
to meet you, too, Esme.

Um, would you like me to help you
find a spot for your Lovey?

I think I can find
a place for her myself.

Sweetie, are you okay?

Hey, hey. It's okay. It's okay.
It's just your powers.

Listen, so you can mimic
other aliens' powers

and sometimes without even knowing it.

Well, this time,
you mimicked J'onn's powers,

and he's a Martian.

And I'm so sorry that
I didn't tell you he was an alien.

I'm so sorry, Esme.

Esme, what you just did
is called phasing.

I'm sorry. I won't do it again.
I promise.

Oh, sweetie, you're not in trouble.

You're not in trouble, it's okay.

"The Truth Behind Chaos."

Huh. What a curious world this is,

that this journalist, William Dey,

would spin a narrative
that Supergirl and her colleagues

are trying to protect people...

from me.

If they would just leave me alone,

I'd be free to collect all the Totems
and I'd get out of their hair.

But that's what people in power,
like Supergirl, do.

They tell tales to make themselves
look like the hero.

That's what my father did.

- Mitch.
- Oh, sorry.

I didn't mean to be rude.
I was just trying to help.

Naxim stole it from an Almeraci
he once imprisoned.

It's designed to absorb
and repel energy.

I refashioned it
to hold the Courage Totem.

And affixed to the cuff
Mxyzptlk put on you.

To what end?

Well, I hate seeing your powers
diminished by these superheroes.

And I thought, with this,

maybe it'll give you
some of your magic back

and allow you to use
the one Totem you have

the way it was meant to be used,

to get the rest of the Totems,
starting with the Hope Totem.

It works.

You just gave me Courage.

So now I think I should go
and take Hope.

That was awful.

Oh, my God.
She was so embarrassed and so scared.

I mean, she's just coming
into her powers

and doesn't know how they work.

Must be so overwhelming.

I just...

All I want to do is just protect her.

You know what, I feel like
I'm completely out of my depth here.

I don't want to say the wrong thing.
I don't want to make her feel worse.

Yeah, I'm on pins
and needles, too.

But... being able
to have a family with you...

is such a blessing.

And being able to bring
that little girl into our family...

I just want to give her everything
that she's missed in her life.

Yeah.

And I think that she's especially lucky

that we are the ones who are
adopting her.

And you can help her
figure out her powers

and help her feel comfortable
experiencing them.

Yeah. Yeah, I can do that.

You can do that.

Do I smell chocolate chip cookies?

Actually, chocolate roulade, Jaffa cakes

and hobnobs,
my Aunt Millicent's specialty.

And they're not for you.
They're for Alex to give to Esme.

Ah, yes, the young liege.

Tell me, do either of you have
any sense what her preference

for building block sets might be?

Castle, theme park or train?

- Train.
- Train. Sorry. Super hearing.

Was the answer really that obvious?

Well, the castle and the theme park
are great, Brainy,

but once she builds the train,
she can take it

- on any adventure she likes.
- The words right out of my mouth.

Any luck finding Nyxly
or the next Totem?

Still scanning.

Nia hasn't had any luck in Parthas
finding the Dream Totem either.

- Looks like you just got lucky.
- Indeed.

It appears that three days ago,
Nyxly broke into The Hague

while we were dealing with the chaos
caused by the Humanity Totem.

Although, she barely entered
and walked away with nothing.

Why are you only getting the match now?

The system scans every available
public camera worldwide.

That's billions of bits of data,
and unfortunately,

I am beholden to
21st century upload speeds.

I'm accessing The Hague's
security system now

for more information.

Still, it's surprising
there was no news report.

With things escalating
between Kaznia and Corto Maltese,

and the setting up of the peace talks,

a non-robbery at The Hague was
probably the least newsworthy item.

- Mm.
- A Totem must be there.

According to their security feed,
Nyxly just returned.

Cgyrzyx.

Remove this energy field and stand down

or these soldiers will fire.

You know, I hate to be rude,

but I really don't like things
being pointed at me.

Ooh, look at that, frozen in fear.

Seems I'm a match
for you once again.

And with the Totem's power,
I can give courage and...

I can take it away.

I guess that depends who
you hit it with.

Keep her distracted.
I'm going over the force field.

Hi.

Well, isn't this a lovely surprise?

Wow. Look at all the gifts.

Esme, these are my co-workers.

This is Lena.

And this is William and this is Brainy.

Everyone, meet Esme.

Hello, Esme. It's very good to meet you.

You're very pretty.

Thank you. So are you.

Hey, I was wondering, Brainy,

if you could spare
a little bit of time to help me out.

Um, Esme is a Dyralian,
and Kelly and I are looking

to get her to feel a little more
comfortable with her mimic powers.

- Um, off the record.
- Of course.

Well, lucky for you, I used to be
old friends with a Dyralian.

This one time, the Dyralian and I

were socializing with a Winathian
friend of ours,

and the Dyralian unknowingly
taps into the Winathian's ability

to de-power the gravity in the room.

It took us three hours
to get down from the ceiling.

He's funny.

Tell me, how familiar are you
with Coluan Quantum Mechanics? Hmm?

Have you been trained
in hand-to-hand combat?

Okay.

All right, let's see what gauntlet
you have for me this time.

Cgyrzyx.

To obtain the Totem,

inspire a hope that burns longer
and brighter than the sun.

The "Hand of the Flower"
carved out of the throne

that once belonged to Elpis,
the Greek Goddess of Hope.

It must have been placed here
at The Hague as a talisman of peace.

I received my gauntlet.

It said to inspire a lasting hope.

Luckily for you, Supergirl,
that's kind of on brand.

Yeah, but the flower
won't budge for me.

If Nyxly's able to figure out
the gauntlet

and get this Hope Totem
out of the rock first...

Do either of you know
what that alien did to my leaders?

Half hour ago,
they were finally starting to talk.

Now they can't stop sniping
at each other.

I can understand Kaznia's anger.

Corto Maltese did build an island
in the Kaznian Sea without permission

and started drilling for oil.

That doesn't warrant either country

aiming their nuclear arsenal
at the other.

The United States just needs
the region to remain stable,

which is what I've been trying
to convince them both of.

It appears that when that alien
transported out of here,

the leaders were hit with her energy.

It has the power
to deplete people's courage.

Well, they don't look
afraid of each other to me.

I think you're right.

But in this case,
it's made them distrustful,

paranoid, that's why they're arguing.

J'onn, maybe you should stay here
and guard the peace talks

in case they deteriorate
or Nyxly comes back.

I will talk them down again
so you superheroes can focus

on capturing that alien
and stay in your lane.

With all due respect, Secretary,

you're dealing
with a magical energy source.

My psychic abilities
can keep things calm.

Besides, if she comes back,
I'm the best defense you'll have.

Fine.

Just don't get in my way.

And change into something,
so you don't upstage me.

Where is everyone?

Oh, downstairs. Alex is using Brainy
to help Esme get used to her powers.

Oh, I see you have
your mother's grimoire out.

Does that mean you're getting
more comfortable with it?

I just pretend it's Newton's Principia,

and that makes it slightly
easier to open.

There's still no luck
in finding Nyxly or that ship,

so I thought maybe, in the meantime,
I could try and find a charm

that could help secure
the Humanity Totem

against any magic
that Nyxly may still have access to,

just in case she comes to find it here.

I don't know what I'm gonna do.

When I accessed
the Totem's gauntlet at The Hague,

it said I needed to inspire a hope

that burns longer and brighter
than the sun.

But it didn't give me
a starting point like last time,

and I can't afford to try and fail.

I mean, you saw how bad things got

when I didn't pass the Courage gauntlet.

I try to provide people
with hope all the time.

What can I do differently now?

Well, on the bright side,

if it's a race between you and Nyxly
to provide hope for a Hope Totem,

I know where my money is going.

- Is Esme all right?
- Uh, yeah.

Yeah, she's okay.

Um, I had her mimic Brainy,
then I asked her

to solve the Coluan equivalent
of Einstein's theory of relativity,

but she got a little overwhelmed
with the calculation,

so we stopped.

Do you think maybe
you could give a little hope

to some little girl
who's down in the dumps?

I mean, I know if she just
keeps trying, she's gonna get it.

For that little girl, anything.

El-may-arah.

But I'm still tired.

I know that you're tired,
Esme, I do.

But I really think if we try again
and you just pushed through,

you're gonna feel a lot better
about yourself, okay?

And then you won't feel
so overwhelmed by your powers.

And so, look, I even brought you
Supergirl to mimic.

She has the same powers
as your sister Kara.

You're the same person,
aren't you?

Uh...

Listen, Esme. Sit down, sit down.

Listen, um,
not everybody can know that.

Okay? So that's a private matter

that we don't really talk about,
all right?

Am I in trouble?

No, no, no, no, no, no.
Of course not, of course not.

Now, since you're going
to be seeing Kara,

well, Supergirl, a lot more,

I want you to feel more comfortable
around her powers.

All right, so what do you say?

Will you give it a go?

Okay.

So remember, Esme, I'm an alien,
just like you, only I'm a Kryptonian,

and the thing about Kryptonians is
we get our powers

when there's a yellow sun around,
like there is here on Earth.

We can fly, we have heat vision,

which some people might think is scary,

but let me tell you a secret.

It really comes in handy

when you want to make
a cup of hot chocolate.

We also have this thing
called super hearing,

which can get a little overwhelming,
but you just have to take it slow.

Do you want to try?

All right. Okay,
I want you to close your eyes...

take a big, deep breath...

...and listen really closely
to Alex's heartbeat.

Do you hear that?

Yes, her heart is beating so fast.

Ow! That hurt!

Oh, hey, it's okay.
You're okay, you're okay.

It's just some construction outside.
It's all right.

Just don't let it distract you, okay?
Just keep breathing...

...and search for something new.

Okay? Okay.

- Do you hear that?
- Yes.

That is the sound
of a butterfly flapping its wings.

That's one of my favorites.

- What was that? Make it stop.
- Just relax.

All right? I just want you
to just push through

and focus on what you want
to hear, okay?

You really need to be able
to control these powers.

And I feel like if you really try,
you're gonna get it.

Okay?

Okay, okay. You're doing great.

Deep breath, try again.

Um...

Why did you make me listen to that?

You're horrible!

I, uh...

I'll go after her.

It's beautiful, watching you control
the Totem's magic that way.

Yes, but it's not quite enough, is it,

to pass the Hope Totem's gauntlet?

If only I had access to all of my magic,

I can pass this gauntlet
with the snap of my fingers.

You know, when I was locked up,

I always found myself
most hopeful on Monday nights.

Because... Tuesdays meant tacos.

Right.

The point is,

I'm never going to complete
the Hope gauntlet

before Supergirl does.

Hope is her expertise.

It's not mine.

I should let Supergirl
pass the gauntlet for me.

I'm not following.

If I let her obtain the Hope Totem,

I can barter it
and the Humanity Totem from her.

I just need... leverage.

Oh.

William Dey.

Kaznia is merely defending itself
against Corto Maltese's incursion!

"Incursion"?

We are not the aggressors here!
They are!

President, Prime Minister,
you're misinterpreting one another.

Keep lying and we will retaliate!

Retaliate and we'll finish you!

- Gentlemen, gentlemen.
- Gentlemen.

I think it's wise
for us to take a brief recess.

Let's return in half an hour.

You said you'd be able to keep
them calm.

Yes, I did.

But my psychic energy cannot undo
the magic that's been used.

And unfortunately,
that magic is still growing.

You know what?

If you can't calm them anymore,

why don't you just end run the problem?

Just make them agree with each other
and sign a treaty.

You mean brainwash them?

That, Secretary,
is a great overreach of power.

You would only be pushing through
the peace deal

I'm sure I would have brokered

if that alien attack
had never happened.

With all due respect,

you do not, in fact, know
you would have accomplished that.

Imposing a will on others
can lead to dire consequences.

Your team has done
its fair share of intervening

since the dissolution of the DEO.

And now, I haven't always agreed
with your actions,

but today you asked me
to let you help, so help.

Okay.

I will continue to keep things calm
while you can do your job.

But if things get out of hand
and those missiles launch,

I and my friends will stop them.

Hopefully, it's enough.

It was awful.

Oh, the look on Esme's face,

the fear in her eyes only
hearing this...

frightening, horrible stuff.

If I can't help inspire hope

in one little girl,
how am I supposed to do it

for the whole world
and pass the Hope gauntlet?

And this world?

How is any of this hopeful?

Things escalating at The Hague,
maybe you should

just wipe those countries
of their nuclear weapons.

That'll bring out lasting
peace and hope.

I wish I could,
but unfortunately, I am forbidden

from interfering in human history.

Weren't you the person
that convinced me to use magic

to make people just
a little bit violent

in order to draw out Nyxly
and the Humanity Totem?

Yeah, but that was different.

That was in pursuit
of stopping a villain.

And it was temporary.

Unilaterally changing the world stage,

getting involved at that level,
that is not for me to do.

People, nations should be
self-determining, that's freedom.

That's what we're fighting for.

What is it?

It's Nyxly.

She's happy about something.

Maybe she's already figured out
how to pass the gauntlet.

If you find a repel charm,
maybe we should sprinkle some of that

on the Hand of the Flower
to buy me some more time.

I'm working on it.

People taking to the streets,
children crying in fear

that this conflict
will soon escalate to war.

That news is not helping me
think of a way to pass the gauntlet.

Maybe that's the answer.

What, turning off the news?
I don't think so.

No, no, no, no.
So, Supergirl does hopeful things,

but it's people like Kara
that helped frame the news

in a way that makes it not scary
and helps get the message out.

It makes people hopeful.

Maybe it's time for Kara to try
this gauntlet instead of Supergirl.

Esme, are you okay?

I know what happened earlier
must have been scary.

But we're here for you.

Getting comfortable mimicking
other aliens' powers,

it's... it's going to take some time.

And I know that Alex is sorry
that she pushed you.

Hey, when we get home,

why don't we finish decorating
your room?

I think it's better if we don't.

I think it's better if you just
take me back to the group home...

before my powers hurt you, too.

Hey, I'll be right back, okay?

Okay.

I really, I really screwed up, Kelly.

When Kara's powers overwhelmed Esme,

I should have realized
that she needed a break,

but I just kept pushing her
to keep going.

It was like these instincts took over,

and all of a sudden I'm acting more like
a DEO drill sergeant than I am a mother.

And it was exactly
the wrong thing to do.

Growing up, my mom with Kara,
she was so kind and understanding,

and it was exactly the mom
that Kara needed.

And that's everything that I want to be.

You're being really hard on yourself.

Your mom and Kara fought all the time.

You even told me that once
Kara got so angry with Eliza

that she almost burned the house down
with her heat vision.

Well, Kara was a teenager, okay,

not some innocent little ball
of cuteness.

My point is, they worked it out
and Kara thrived.

And even your mother
needed that grace period.

So cut yourself some slack.

And... this morning,
when Esme was scared,

I... I wanted it to be about
her powers...

because that would have been
an easier fix.

But it's not about that.

It's us.

Okay, so I was right.

No.

She just told me that she thinks
it's best if we take her back.

And it wasn't because you pushed her.

I think she is terrified
of getting close to us...

because she thinks we're gonna
abandon her like everyone else did.

And I'm a therapist,

I should have realized that
this morning.

Mmh-mmh.

I just... I want to do better for Esme.

I know you do.

I just wish we could make her see that.

We can figure this out.

We just got to figure out a way
to get her to see the truth.

The truth.

I know it's my first day
on Andrea's desk,

but I just got to say
I loved your article

on Martian Manhunter
keeping the peace talks safe.

Oh.

- Ms. Rojas is reading it now.
- Thanks, Don. Here.

And Ms. Rojas is returning it
right to sender.

Is there a problem?

Firstly, I don't know why
you're suddenly doing stories

on the Super Friends,
which is William's exclusive.

You never struck me
as so catty or competitive.

Just for the record,

this story was not meant
to step on William's beat.

William's stories have been focusing
more on the threat,

and I was more interested in reporting

on the positive developments

happening in National City
and around the world.

Why? The world isn't good, Kara.

That's not true.

Sure, bad things are happening,

but if we only report
on the negative stuff,

then people will start to see
and believe

that the world is worse
than it actually is.

There are good things happening,

and our readers deserve
that positive perspective.

Nyxly.

Huh.

William Dey. Hmm.

It's so good to finally meet you.
You know, I'm a big fan of your work.

- Can someone get a camera on this?
- Andrea!

Filming this? That's a good idea.

Because I need to get a message out,
to Supergirl.

I will kill this man...

unless she brings me
the Hope Totem and the Humanity Totem

right here by sunset.

Don't you hurt him.

I'm not going to play this game
with you, Supergirl.

Bring me the Totems by sunset
or he dies.

And after that, I will use the Totem

to make swathes of people feel fear
until there's no hope left.

Kind of like this.

Whoa! Oh.

- Thank you, Supergirl.
- Yeah.

Cgyrzyx.

You have failed
the gauntlet.

Supergirl won't give you
those Totems.

She'll find another way.

I've never seen a planet
so driven by naivete.

And, you know,
you're quite the worst of them,

with your devotion to the free press.

You don't believe in free press?

Mmh.

Journalism shines a light
on people in power.

It ensures no authoritarian impulse
goes unchecked.

Much like yourself.

If you think your little newspaper

has any impact on those with real power,

you're more delusional than I thought.

No, the powerful will always believe
their way is righteous.

I would know.

My father was the most powerful being
in my dimension.

The more power he gained,
the more corrupt he became.

I tried to show him
the error of his ways...

and he decimated me.

But soon...

I will reunite the AllStone...

and I will finally set things right.

After everything you've done...

the chaos you've wrought...

you really think
you're delivering justice?

Yeah.

The charm is very short term.

Am I correct in assuming
that wasn't your intention?

I tried the articles.

I couldn't get the Totem.

I saved cats from trees
and people from crime.

I flew over Kaznia
and Corto Maltese,

telling the people
I wouldn't let them down.

Couldn't get the Totem.

I have no idea

if trying and failing is making
things worse for Secretary Brown.

The situation at The Hague is devolving.

We need to find Nyxly,

or come up with some way to save William

without giving her either Totem.

Please tell me
you two have some good news.

I'm sorry, Kara. I wish I did, but...

I haven't been able to locate Nyxly,
William or Naxim's ship anywhere.

And my protective charm is more
of a practice zap at the moment.

It's not gonna be enough to protect

either the Humanity or the Hope Totem
from Nyxly.

Hey, Esme. Um...

I am really sorry that I pushed you
to practice so hard today.

We got you another present,

but you have to come with us to see it.

Do you want to?

Okay.

Here.

I'll hold your hand too.

So, he's more like a pet, really.

He's called a Truth Seeker.

Anyone who touches it,
they can only tell the truth.

So that means when you're around him,
you have his powers, too.

So you can be 100% absolutely certain

that everything we say to you
is the truth.

We have something important to tell you.

Do you want to try it out?

Okay. You want to hold our hands? Yeah.

We are never, ever
gonna send you away. Okay?

No matter what you do,
no matter what you say.

Even if your powers
get big and confusing,

even if you never want
to use your powers again.

We're your family now, Esme.

And we're gonna grow together.

And you're going to make some mistakes,

and we're going to make mistakes.

I made mistakes earlier today.

But we're going to learn
from one another.

And the most important thing...

through it all, we'll do it together.

I had a family before,
but bad things happened to them...

and I was alone.

Do you want to know
what your new family does for a living?

We're superheroes.

Yeah.

So that means that
you don't have to worry about us.

Because it's our job
to face all the bad things.

And you know what?

- We're really good at it.
- Mm-hmm.

I believe you.

The talks broke down completely.

The Corto Maltesian Prime Minister
said he felt threatened.

Governments in both
nations have issued lockdowns

as military leaders
flock to their respective capitals.

Allies around the globe are concerned
that if one of the nations

launches a nuclear missile,

the conflict could have
global consequences.

This morning,
I was so hopeful.

Thinking about Esme, about...

a future that was so much brighter
than yesterday, and now this.

This is what lies ahead of us.

I can't have it.

I won't have it.

If they launch those missiles,
we will stop them.

We have to do more than that, J'onn.

Didn't you say you weren't
supposed to interfere?

I did, but someone is interfering
with human history

who doesn't care about humanity or hope.

And I will do whatever it takes
to protect this planet,

including disarming those countries,

so that the people don't have to fear
tomorrow or the next day or the next.

You'll inspire a hope that burns
longer and brighter than the sun.

And get that Totem.

I'm accessing Kaznian
and Corto Maltese military data

and downloading the location
of their missile silos,

so Lena can direct you to them
over comms.

I calculate you should have
all the missiles removed

and the Hope Totem in your hands

with several minutes to spare
before Nyxly's clock runs out.

And then you can use the Totems
against Nyxly.

No. No, absolutely not.

Even if Supergirl can wield
the Totems' powers, it's too risky.

Every time a Totem's been used,
we've had untold consequences.

But trading
the Totems for William...

My protective charm isn't enough

to stop Nyxly from using it for herself.

Your charm may be weak,

but it could be what we need
to turn the tide.

Unfortunately, the tide did just turn.

Corto Maltese just fired
the first missile.

Supergirl, I got it.

Nice.

I'll hold them
while you disarm the arsenals.

You take Corto Maltese.
I've got a soft spot for Kaznia.

You got it.

Brainy and I will fly the missiles
into the sun,

where they won't be able to hurt anyone.

I hope this is enough to get the Totem.

Cgyrzyx!

You have performed
admirably.

Lena, I'm heading your way now.

I have what you want, Nyxly.

Let him go.

Give me what I want first.

Suit yourself.

- Ah!
- Run!

You tried to use magic against me.

- Don't hurt him.
- I'm not hurting him.

You are.

You talk about me
like I don't...

get a say.

But I do.

You're not in my head anymore.

- I guess hope does trump fear.
- No.

I won't be undone.

Humanity,
Hope and Courage.

We now have three of the seven Totems
in our possession,

and Nyxly has none.

We keep doing the same thing
over and over again.

Going from Totem to Totem,
trying to beat Nyxly at her own game.

Maybe that's a mistake.

Today, we were able
to keep the Totems safe from Nyxly,

but we might not be so lucky next time.

And she's never going to give up.

As long as we hold on to these Totems,

we run the risk of her eventually
being able to assemble the AllStone.

Certainly, it's a risk,
but what alternative do we have?

Destroy the Totems,
just like we did the nukes.

The Totems possess an ancient,

deeply ingrained magic
that we don't really understand.

But what we do know is that
each Totem is related to an element.

It's Courage, Hope, Humanity.

If we destroy the Totems,

that could affect the elements
in the real world.

That may be true, but we don't
have to destroy all three Totems.

So long as we destroy one,
the AllStone will never be complete.

But how do we decide which to risk,
courage, humanity or hope?

We've seen what happens
when humanity's compromised.

That is not an option.

And watching those diplomats today,
with their courage stripped away,

I don't want to see what that
looks like on a global scale.

It has to be hope.

We proved that...

even when the world has lost all hope,

we can be the example to bring it back.

Even if there are consequences
to destroying the Hope Totem,

we can do it again.

Okay, arms out.

There we go.

Okay, so we showed you the Truth Seeker

so that you would know that
we're always telling you the truth.

But we also know that
he didn't solve everything.

We're here to help you.

We want you to work through
all the feelings you're feeling.

I love my room.

Okay.

- Night-night.
- Good night.

No one tells you
how being a mom

brings up all of your past struggles.

Yeah. Or your worst insecurities.

But...

the truth is...

it's so much better than
I ever would have imagined.

Oh, baby.

No.

Supergirl just destroyed the Hope Totem.

Now the AllStone will never be whole.

What is it?

"Secret admirer"?
