Supergirl (2015–…): Season 6, Episode 18 - Episode #6.18 - full transcript

Lex is building
a Lexosuit army?

Apparently, it's a gift
to help ingratiate himself
with Nyxly,

and to help defeat you guys
and get the Totems.

And Otis told you
this in an alley?

I convinced him to meet
by offering to keep

whatever he said on deep
background, but he wanted
to go on the record.

I got the impression that
his bromance with Lex
is rocky.

What if Otis spilling the tea
is just another one of
Lex's tricks?

Then we just
use that to our
advantage.

I can create a data
interception program to track
Lex through the Lexosuits.

We'll know where he is soon.
That's great, Lena.



Listen, I know
the timing's not ideal,

but I got a call
from my friend
at Club Rialto,

and she said
that her VIP suite

is available for your
bachelorette party,
if you want it.

Nice.
Tonight.

Tonight?

Uh, I--
Alex!

Life is unpredictable.
The world is unpredictable.

There will always
be a threat.

You have to seize the joy
when you can.

Come on.
I can keep everyone
safe.

Do it! Do it!
Oh, my God! Stop.

Okay, okay, okay.
Let's do it, let's do it.
Okay.

We're doing this. Okay.



Oh.

Oh, no.
Esme had some trouble
at school.

She's okay.
Um, Kelly is gonna
pick her up. I should go.

We got this. Go, go, go.
Shoo.

Everything okay, William?

Turn on channel two.

Y'all are not gonna believe
these love poems

from billionaire Lex Luthor.

"I will make oceans burn

The skies above turn black

We shall rule together,
my love,

Cruel deaths
to any who attack."

It seems CatCo reporter
William Dey

has leaked
Lex's private journal.

How'd he get
his hands on it?

I need to go.

Who knows? But in it,
the Man of Tomorrow

professes his love for Nyxly,
the Fifth Dimensional imp...

Hey, they're talking
about you.

Now, she's allegedly behind
some of the most violent
attacks on the city.

Derek, I know the heart wants
what the heart wants,

but it seems
Lex Luthor's heart
wants a psychopath.

They haven't even
met me yet.

What's next?
A cutsie couple name?

I know, Lexly.

I'll nail gun their
drivel-spouting tongues
to their pinheads.

Looks like someone
should have hidden
his diary a little better.

What is it they called you?
The Man of Tomorrow?

Quite a lofty title.
Did you give yourself
that name?

Truth be told, I actually
quite like the part about...
the burning oceans.

In actual news, I've started
work on your Lexosuit army.

I can show you
what I've done so far.
Not now.

The crystal ball still hasn't
shown me where
the truth totem is.

So much
for your fixing it.

You had no right
using my byline.

Your name adds veracity.
Cache.

This is my reputation.

You used my name
to validate
an unethical story,

something you'd see
in a gossip rag.

The journal
is the proof that
you wanted.

Lex is working with Nyxly.

Yes, but this
makes them look
like a joke.

And in doing so, people may
forget how dangerous
they really are.

We're taking Lex down.

Why does it matter how?

I became a journalist
to tell real stories,
to report the truth.

Your "ends justify the means"
excuse makes you
just as bad as Lex.

You both have
no ethical code.

I was hoping that you'd
wield CatCo's power
and influence for good,

but instead, your
pathological obsession
to be number one

made you selfish
and shortsighted.

What's important
is what you stand for,

what you contribute
to make the world
a better place.

And you, Andrea Rojas,
stand for nothing.

Your intel has been most
informative, Winn.

What was this personal matter
you wish to discuss?

Yes.

Yes, I understand.

Lex's obsequious devotion
to Nyxly,

his selfless behavior
sacrificing the Love Totem,

all confirm what I just learned
in my call
with the 31st century.

You called the future?

So, in the future,
Lex and Nyxly are quite
the power couple.

It's hard to imagine Lex
loving anyone as much as
he loves himself.

Be that as it may,
after obtaining
all seven Totems,

Lex and Nyxly completed
the AllStone,

and anointed themselves
King and Queen of the universe.

But for reasons still unknown,
the AllStone began to fail.

The Legion saw this
as their chance to attack...

and Nyxly died.

That must be why
Lex is so desperate

to help her get
all the Totems
in this time.

But the Hope and Love Totems
have been destroyed.

There's no way to complete
the AllStone without them.

Still, if he's in love,

there's no telling
what he'll do for Nyxly.

It worked.

We tracked the Lexosuits
and Naxim's ship
to the waterfront.

Intruder alert.

Intruder alert.

Get the Dream Totem.

That's impossible.

The Hope Totem?

Sweet dreams.

Dreamer, can you close
the dream portal?

I'm trying!

I got the Dream Totem.

No.

Fast thinking, Dreamer.

Naxim's ship, it's gone.
But we have this.

How does Nyxly have
the Hope Totem?

I threw it into the sun.

Evidently, the Totems' powers
are so potent

and elemental in nature,

they can't be destroyed.

They only reconstitute
in a new form.

I can use the Dream Totem
to help me pinpoint
the ship's location

while Lena retracks
the Lexosuits.

Brainy, can you find out
anything else from the future

that might help us...
speed things along?

Yes, of course.

Should want to
speed things up.

All your arrogant boastings
about your insights
into the future,

and yet,
you didn't see
this coming.

Your needs are
my raison d'etre.

You get all the Totems
very soon,
but you have to be patient.

I'm tired of being patient.

Waiting for this
finicky crystal ball,

which, for all I know,
you tampered with

just so you could get
the Totems for yourself.

I understand why
you might not trust me yet,

but what's more important
right now is that
you trust yourself.

And what makes you think
I don't?

Because I know what you can
achieve when you do.

In the future, you told me
how you conquered
the Fifth Dimension,

but your father fled.

So you set a trap
where everyone said
your father wouldn't be,

and you were right.

Finally, you made
your father pay.

What you've always
been able to count on,

what I'll always
count on... is you.

The Truth Totem.

Don't you dare say,

"I told you so."

All right,
let's get this off.

They were making
posters for the
school's baking competition

and a mean girl made fun of
Esme's chocolate roulade
entry.

Chelsea said it looked
like an ugly log.
I'm gonna lose.

I didn't mean to use my powers,
but then boom,
paint everywhere.

I'm sorry.
No, it's okay.

I think Chelsea is just jealous
because she's baking
boring old brownies,

and your roulade
is exciting,

and it's unique,
just like you.
Thanks.

No.
You didn't get the paint
in your ears.

And I don't know
how you did it.
It's impressive.

Esme.

What's this back here?
Did someone to draw on you?

Let me see.

Wasn't there at bath time
yesterday.

Is that a tattoo?

You seem distressed, Querl.

Didn't the Legion give you
the information you needed
on Lex Luther?

Yes.

But...

I was also told

that the Big Brain suffered
extensive damage
in the AI plague.

I have orders to return
to the 31st century to help.

You always knew you'd
have to return to your
own time eventually.

There's more.

In order to save
the Big Brain,
I have...

I've been called upon
to merge with it.

If I do so,
I will cease to exist.

So will you.
We will exist.

Maybe not as ourselves,

but as a part of
something greater--

I am a part of
something greater!

Here, in this time.

I have a family. I...

I'm in love.

I cannot abandon them.

I will not abandon her!

If you--
I know! I know.

I risk jeopardizing
the entire space-time
continuum, but...

There must be
another option.

I'm running calculations
on alternate outcomes
as we speak,

and just...

They're not viable.

I have to remain here
long enough

to ensure that Lex and Nyxly
are vanquished,

to at least know
my friends are safe.

Truly am sorry. Querl.

It is unfortunate
that you are burdened...

with feeling so much.

Why would someone collect
all these trophies

just to store them
where no one can see them?

It's not about flaunting
what you've got.

It's about having it
and knowing no one else does.

The Truth Totem.

Of course.

The camera never lies.

Cgyrzyx!

To see things
as they truly are,

you must reveal
the truth within yourself.

The truth within.

I want justice against
all those who wronged me.

I want power,
because I want to
be free.

I never again
want to be at
the mercy of others.

Not good enough, eh?

Fine.

I'm afraid of the parts
of myself that are like
my father...

And the part of me
that still...

Still wants his approval.

So... until I say something
you whispers like,

you're going to
keep me here, alone.

Well, joke's on you,

because I'm used to
being alone.

Always have been,
always will be.

But I don't want to be.

The truth is...

I want to know that those close
to me won't betray me.

I want to have someone
close to me.

Now you may see the truth
of who is worthy of your trust

for you have performed
admirably.

Kara!
Hey, bud. Ooh!

Hey, I heard you had some
trouble at school today.

Are you okay?

Um... Her powers got
a little out of hand,

so we're just gonna run
some tests and get to
the bottom of it.

I'm sorry, Esme.

My powers got a little
overwhelming at times too,
when I was little,

but it gets better,
I promise.

Hey, let's get you to
the med bay and then
we can come back?

Okay. See you.

Hey. Oh, my gosh.
You know what?

Those glasses that Mom and Dad
gave me when we were little,

they were such
a big help to me.

Maybe something like that
could help Esme.

She had power dampeners
before when she was
at that terrible group home.

I'm not gonna control
her like that.

No, it's not
about control.

It could just
give her some relief.

My glasses cut out
the noise for me.
They let me belong.

They let you hide.

Hide my powers, yeah,
but that was a good thing.

Kara, when you came to Earth,
it was dangerous
to be an alien.

It's not like that anymore.

She doesn't have to
hide to fit in.

And I am certainly not going to
make her suppress who she is.

But the world
is still pretty
dangerous, Alex.

I mean, imagine how many people
I could have accidentally hurt

if I didn't know how to
handle my super strength.

Well, she needs to learn
how to manage her powers,
not bury them.

She will learn
how to manage them,
in time.

I'm just saying this,
because I have
the life experience

to know what
she's going through.

I know what you went through
as well. I mean,
I was there, remember?

Of course.

It's just, you're raising a
child with powers now,

and there is no way for you
to fully grasp what that
feels like.

Okay, as you just said, Kara,
she's my daughter
and I am raising her.

And apparently we need to set
some ground rules here.

Because if I want
parenting advice, I'll ask.

And if I don't...

don't tell me
how to raise my kid.

Okay, Dream Totem.

Show me where Nyxly is.

You're going back
to the future?

How'd you know?

I just saw it.
Why didn't you
tell me?

I thought we said
no more secrets.

Legion only
informed me that...

I am to return
when our conflict with
Lex and Nyxly concludes.

I was gonna
tell you, Nia, I swear.
Why you?

Why can't
somebody else go?

If I don't go... it will mean
the end of all Coluans.

Well, then let me go with you.

You know that
that's not an option.

Please.
You have to exist
in this time.

I hate
the space-time continuum.

We just have to
accept that...

my destiny is there...

and yours is here.

I honestly don't know how to
live in a world without you.

Nor do I.

Butterscotch sticky buns?

Your favorite, as I recall.

I don't like sweets.

You will.

Thought you might need
a little pick me up

after your ordeal
passing the Truth gauntlet.

I told you...

it was easy.

And yet, you haven't
seemed like yourself since.

Remember, there's nothing
that I wouldn't do for you.

What are you doing?

Making sure of your intent.

I can't risk giving my heart
to a dishonest fool.

But luckily, I have the powers
of the Truth Totem, so...

Tell me,

your poems,

did you mean
what you wrote?

Every word.

My only desire
is to rule by your side

while destroying everyone
who gets in our way.

And after
we've rebuilt the AllStone,
you're going to betray me.

Betray you?

Betraying you is...
inconceivable.

I've spent my whole life
believing no one
was worthy of me,

until you.

It's why I came back
to find you
at this time.

I want to help you achieve
everything you want
and deserve.

And I know I can
do this for you,
because I have.

It is my only desire.

Did I pass?

You have performed admirably.

Andrea, hi.
I'm a little busy
right now.

Do you think I'm a callous,
narcissistic monster?

Does this have anything
to do with CatCo publishing
my brother's journals?

You're one of
my oldest friends.

Tell me the truth.
Did I cross an ethical line?

Stealing my brother's journals
and publishing them under
William's byline

isn't your finest hour.

So I am monster.
No, I didn't say that.

Look, I am all for taking
my brother down,

but you have to
be careful

that you don't fall back
into bad behaviors.

We know you can act with
a certain...

single mindedness,

but you can't betray someone
like William just to
promote yourself.

That's not why I did it.

Then why did you do it?

When we feel like
our back is against the wall,

we can go into survival mode
and damn the consequences.

Only you can be the judge of
whether that's who you want
to be.

And if it's not, then...

change it.

I've circled the Earth
five times.

There's no sign
of Naxim's ship.

I've had no luck
with my psychic scans either.

And Lena's program tracking
the Lexosuits has run
into interference.

She's thinking that either Lex
has blocked the signal,

or the ship has left
Earth's atmosphere.

Either way,
she's looking for
a workaround.

All right, well,
I'll head back out.

Or you could just tell me why
you've been avoiding the Tower
since this morning.

Alex is mad at me,

because...

I... Because I suggested
that they try to control
Esme's powers

the way my parents did
when I was growing up.

I remember
how scared I was,

having all of these abilities
and not knowing
how to control them.

And until I did...

I hated school,
I had no friends,
I was miserable.

I don't want that for Esme.

That's because you're
a protector, like me.

It's who we are.
I didn't want to overstep.

I just want Esme
to be safe.

You have
good intentions, Kara.

But Alex and Kelly
are Esme's mothers.

How they raise her
is really up to them.

I know you want to share
in your sister's happiness.

It might be worth it

to try and clear the air
before the party tonight.

Hey, there.

Shh.

I'm playing hide and seek
with my mom.
Do you see her?

No. I think it's safe
to come out.

Did you bake something?

I did, some apple tarts
for everyone here at the Tower.

I'm at the Tower.

You are.

Thanks.

Of course.

My school's having
a baking competition.

I'm making chocolate roulade,
just like you.

But Chelsea said
it's stupid.

Well, that's not very nice.

I think anyone who doesn't like
chocolate roulade
is a Dodo bird.

Let me tell you a little secret
that I got from Auntie Bindu
in Cochin.

That's where I'm from
in India.

The trick to making
really special chocolate

is a pinch of cardamom,

a touch of turmeric,
and a sprinkle of cloves.

It's a secret, okay?
Yeah.

It's Mom!

Damn.

Still no results from
Esme's blood test?

No.

I'm going to cancel
the party tonight.

Alex, no.

Are you sure you want
to cancel the party?

Yes, I'm sure.

We may not need
Esme's blood test
after all.

I just got off the phone
with her school again.

There's a new alien
in her class,
a Tattamite.

I've read about them.

They have powerful tempers

and can manifest
distinctive skin markings,

which they use as camouflage.

Skin markings?

Esme might have mimicked
this student, which caused
the rose tattoo on her neck.

And that would account
for her erratic powers
and her anger.

Thank God.

So this means you guys
don't have to cancel the party,

and Esme doesn't have to miss
the baking competition.

Yeah, but,
I mean, are we going
to get there in time?

If we leave now.

Hey, Kara. We just got
a hit off Naxim's ship.

Good thing your Kryptosuit's
good for outer space.

J'onn, there's no sign
of Lex or Nyxly.

Anything?

Negative.
I'm about to search
the portside of the...

Wait. J'onn?

J'onn, I can't--

My suit feels different.

I thought you might appreciate
a little extra oomph,

so I custom fitted
the Truth Totem
into your chest plate.

You'll find the Hope Totem
in your left arm cannon.

Lex, we know
about you and Nyxly
in the future.

We're not gonna
let that happen.

It seems that you've forgotten,
I always get what I want.

Ooh!

That looks like it hurts.

Just some
31st century nanobots
to soften her up.

Supergirl?

Supergirl,
something's not right.

Why, hello, Martian.

That was easier
than I thought.

Wait. What...
Where'd you go?

Can we talk about this?

Poor, deluded Supergirl.

So naively hopeful,
despite overwhelming odds.

Warning.
Oxygen levels failing.

Oxygen levels critical.

Self-destruct sequence
initiated.

Are you okay?
Where's Lex?

He's gone, with Nyxly.

Self-destructing.

Ten, nine, eight...

We have to go.

The Hope Totem,
I'm not leaving here
without it.

...seven, six,
five, four...

Supergirl, now!
...three,

two, one.

What's your takeaway from
today's encounter with
Nyxly and Lex?

I'd say it's a huge win.

They no longer have a ship,
no Lexosuit army and no Totems.

We also have
five Totems secured
at Fortress of Solitude,

but don't print that.

Great job, guys.

Lena just filled us in.

And more importantly, please
give a big round of applause

to the new school
baking champion.

Hurray!

That's a perfect kickoff
to the big party tonight.

About that, our sitter
just called up sick
with the stomach flu,

so you'll only have Alex.

Don't be ridiculous,
I'll take care of Esme.

She and I have
a baker's bond, right?

William, we wanted you
at the party.

Please, I'm happy to help.

See it as a part
of a wedding gift.

Well, we better all get ready.
We have a lot to celebrate.

Mm-hmm.

All right. Ready?

Hey, Alex, wait.

Um, I'll catch up.
Okay.

Come on.

I just want to make sure
we're okay after...

After earlier.

I'm really sorry
I overstepped.

I know you want
what's best for Esme.

And I'm sorry
that I reacted so harshly.

And that it was so hard
for you as a kid.

I wish there was more
that I could have done
to make it easier.

You did so much to help me.
You still do.

Esme is really lucky
to have you.

It's really important to me
that she doesn't feel like
an "other".

I don't know what it's like
to grow up as an alien,

but I do know what it's like
to not be living your truth.

And I don't want
that for her.

You're right.

Esme deserves to be proud
of every part of her identity.

So do you.

Especially the mom part.

Because you're
a seriously good one.

You're a seriously
good sister.

Hey, guys.

I just wanted to thank you

for not leaving me behind
to get blown up with my ship.

You know,
I thought I'd feel sad,
you know, seeing it go,

but I feel kind of free.

Like, for the first time
in my life...

I have options.

Here's an option.

Go restock the fridge.

You're not the boss of me.

Actually, he is.

Out.

If you'd rather be alone,
I can...
No, don't leave.

I'm actually quite tired...

of being alone.

I will always
be here for you.

The longer you're around,
the more you put yourself
at risk,

and the more you give up
our most powerful weapons,

because you're scared
that I might get hurt.

It's foolish and weak.

And I'm running
out of reasons
not to trust you.

I don't have my Totems.
I don't have my magic.

My only other ally is
a moronic
former zookeeper.

I don't have anything
to offer you.

And yet,
you're still here.

Which proves what
the Truth Totem told me.

You really do care.

I meant every word
I wrote in my journal.

Albeit, my didactic rhyming
scheme lacked a certain
je ne sai quoi.

But...

I love you, Nyxly.

And that is not something
that comes naturally to me.

Nor to me.

I'm beginning to see why
my future self...

fell for you.

Is that so?

Mmm.

Hmm.

I think you may want
to take a look at that.

The Love Totem.

Did you know
that was going to happen?

When I finally started
to fall in love with you?

If you did.

I may be from the future,
but you're never predictable.

Okay, okay, okay.

To Kelly and Alex.

Kelly and Alex!
Yay!

Cheers.

You gotta keep up.
Oh, man.

Vodka.
Yeah, that was a choice.

It's a great choice.

And so is this song.

Dance floor, you and me.
Come on, let's go.

Look at those guys.

Excuse me,
I need to hydrate.

Okay, well,
I'm going to go dance.

Because what's the point
in saving the world

if you don't get to enjoy it
sometimes?

Especially on a day
as momentous as this.

Hello.

Whoo!

I know I told Alex
to take the night off,
but I can't.

You can.

I mean, the Tower is auto
scanning for Nyxly and Lex,

and I'm keeping a psychic
overview of everything.

Of course, you are.

Go, go.

I'd ask how
you're holding up.

Never thought I'd say this,
but...

I really could use
my personality inhibitors.

All this happiness is
making me quite sad.

I can't stop thinking that soon
I'll have to leave everyone.

Especially you.

Don't think about that.

Right now,
you're here with me.

See?

Do you feel your hand
in mine?

I do.

And my head
on your shoulder?

Yes.

That's all that matters.

Tonight's not the night
to be Debbie Downer.

We're here to celebrate
Alex and Kelly.

You're right.

I do not intend to be this...
Debbie with a sad surname.

You know, actually,
I am grateful...

to feel so much love
and loss...

because then I know...

it all truly meant something.

And that you'll
always be with me,
Nia Nal...

no matter where I go.

Come.

I'll show you how they
dance in the future.

♪ I hear the thunder
Coming down ♪

♪ Won't you rain on me?

♪ Rain on me

Ooh!

Now these, my dear Esme,

are what The Great British
Bake Offwould call
"handshake-worthy."

Put her there.

You make
a good assistant baker.

Well, it's a honor
to serve.

What do you say
we do a little bit of cleaning

while we wait for these
to cool down, yeah?

Get your mitties off.

Let me help you with that.
Here you go.

Now you get
your left arm in.

Actually,
I'll clean up later.

How about a little game
of hide and seek?

Let's see if you can find

the best hiding spot you can
in J'onn's office. Okay?

Challenge accepted.
Good. Go. Hurry.

Ah.

William Dey.

Sounds like your time is up.

William.

It has been ages.

Don't worry.
Your friends won't
interrupt our reunion.

I disabled the security systems
before arriving.

I, uh,
caught your little story
about my journal.

Didn't your mother
teach you

it's not nice to take things
that don't belong to you?

Lex, we have more important
matters to tend to.

Care to help?

We're looking for a girl.
She's Dyralian.

About yea tall.
Cute as a button.

Name's Esme.

How do you
know her name?

Don't you know by now?
I know everything.

Where is she?

Not here.

He lies.

Never mind.

I'll find her.

So, this is what
Supergirl and her chums
call their lair.

Seems remarkably...

underwhelming.

Esme?

What do you want
with Esme?

Not your concern.

I assure you,
I have her best
interests at heart.

I find that hard to believe,

coming from a man who once
burned down
part of a children's hospital.

Touche.

So if you won't snitch
on Esme's whereabouts,

how about the Totems?

Did your new pals let you in
on their secret hiding place?

You're the genius.

You figure it out.

You really had a lot of guts
publishing my journal.

Care to explain
how you came to possess it?

No?

I just thought you would have
known better

than to risk
inflaming my wrath.

That's the thing
you will never
understand, Lex.

There will always be
people like me

and the Super Friends
to stand up to you

and show the world
that for all your
delusions of grandeur...

you're just a sad
shell of a man.

Says the paperboy.

There you are.

Do I know you?

I'm a friend of your mum's.

Where's William?

Oh.

He had to go back to work.

Hmm.

But he asked me
to come take
care of you.

I saw the cookies
that you and William baked.

They look scrumptious.

You and I ought to go have
ourselves a little tea party.

Would you like that, Esme?

We're gonna have
the grandest time.

You and I.

I've got her.

Ooh.

Looks like we have
what we need.

I'll take my leave.

Just remembered
one last thing I had to do.

That was for
leaking my journal.

If by chance you're still alive
when your friends return,

remind them that I am
always one step ahead.

Your shameful little
back alley meeting
with Otis...

I arranged that.

Oh. And when
my dear sister

used her data interception
program to track my Lexosuits,

she unknowingly activated
a Trojan virus that infected
the computer here.

That caused a delay in a very
important blood test result
being sent out.

See, I had to prevent your
friends from understanding

how important the little girl
was until I got what I wanted.

And, as usual...

I win.

To Andrea Rojas.

Subject,
here's your real story.

Send recording.

Wait, wait.
Come here. Ready?

Hey, I got Esme's
test results back.

There's
Fifth Dimensional energy
in her blood.

What does that mean?

Well, that tattoo,
it looked familiar.

Like the design on the stone
in the original Love Totem.

Okay, we know the Totems
can be reconstituted, so...

What if Esme
somehow became
the Love Totem?

We need to get back
to the Tower, now.

That was for
leaking my journal.

Esme, where are you?
We'll search the other rooms.

William?

William! William.

No!

J'onn! J'onn!

He's... He's dead.

Esme is gone.

Oh, my God.
