Supergirl (2015–…): Season 6, Episode 20 - Episode #6.20 - full transcript
Reports are flooding in
from all around the world
of people...
deteriorating.
Authorities now believe
that two unknown Titans
battling in National City
are the cause.
The more they battle,
the more hopeless the people
of the world become.
It's like we're fading away.
I'm sorry. I...
I can't.
I tried to save Lex.
Mother, don't...
You need to save your energy.
I'm dying, Lena.
Don't talk like that.
It's okay.
I'm ready to go.
But I need to tell you
something first.
I need to tell you that I knew.
I knew what your mother was.
I knew what you are.
You knew?
Your father was always happy
around you.
Your light, your intuition.
I was afraid for you,
that your powers would lead you
down a similar path
as your mother.
So I put talismans
around the house
to stifle what I knew
was burgeoning.
And pushed you towards science.
Over time, you forgot.
Your light diminished,
and you became a Luthor.
You can hate me, Lena,
but I was trying
to help the family.
To help you.
And what?
With these dying words
of this confession.
You want me to use that gift
to save your precious Lex.
I want to set you free.
I've been watching
while you worked.
Consternating over
your book of spells.
You're not owning that power
fully and you need to.
Forget about Lex.
Forget about what
I wanted you to do.
And live your life
the way you want to live it.
Kara.
Do you have a plan?
I needed time to think.
To process everything
that's happened.
See where I went wrong and...
suddenly it hit me.
My whole life as Supergirl
has been built on a premise
that is deeply flawed.
What do you mean?
I've been driven by this idea
that people need to be rescued.
That it was my job,
my mission... to save them.
I've believed it was
my calling to be...
Earth's hero.
It's just so clear to me now.
We don't need to be heroes.
We need to be partners.
And we need to actively empower
every single person
to be the hero
of their own life.
That hits home, Kara.
And it's relevant
to this crisis.
Lex and Nyxly are using
their AllStone pieces,
to empower themselves
by disempowering
everybody else.
So then the reverse
must be true.
If we empower the people,
that will disempower
Lex and Nyxly.
Given the rate people
are de-saturating,
to drain the AllStones
and stop Lex and Nyxly,
everyone in the world
would need to feel
empowered all at once.
I'll speak directly
to the people.
We just need to find
a way to get through
to every individual.
Only a mass surge of emotion
would be strong enough
to draw out the energy needed.
I've got it.
It's, uh...
my Legion crown.
It allows me to psychically
communicate anything
I hear and see with...
as many people as necessary.
You can use it to project
Supergirl's words into
everybody's mind.
Yes, but unfortunately,
I cannot make them take in
what she's saying.
People come
with a lifetime of baggage.
It can take years for them
to believe in themselves.
And for this plan to succeed,
we need to find a way
around people's natural
defense mechanisms.
I may have a way.
Lena.
She's gone.
I'm so sorry.
Me, too.
But I'm at peace.
I didn't get closure
with my mom, but I did with
Lillian and so it's a gift.
I know a spell that will
melt people's defenses,
and allow them to hear
Supergirl's words
with an open heart.
It won't last long
but it'll be long enough.
The two Titans
have just crashed into
National City Terminal.
It seems like a good place
to contain them while
you get to work.
Mind if I tag along?
Us, too.
I'll go get my supplies.
Aperto corpore, apertis mentis.
Whenever you're ready.
Animo, aperto corpore...
At this moment,
villains are tapping into
your collective life force.
They're trying to siphon
your truth, hope, courage,
Supergirl?
dreams, your humanity.
They're trying to vanquish
your destiny.
They think that
you're helpless.
Supergirl.
What they don't realize
is that your power is innate.
It's always been within you.
I know there are
so many factors that can cause
people to not feel their power
but I'm here to remind you
that none of those things
hold a candle...
to the power every single
one of you possesses within.
I thought I was supposed
to save everyone.
But I see now,
there's only one way for this
world to heal and flourish:
By all of us working together
as a team.
When each of us contributes
our unique gifts to the world
with a full heart,
together, we will shine.
The power of one individual
is enough to move mountains.
If we can all tap into
the deepest truths of our soul,
and own our magnificence,
together, we will defeat
the powers of darkness.
Together... we will
be unstoppable.
Together...
we will create a better world.
It worked.
The AllStone's strength
has dropped below 20%.
That mean Lex and Nyxly's
powers dropped, too.
The people have
taken their power back.
Now it's time for you
to give up.
You're jumping
the gun, Kryptonian.
He's right.
In my dimension,
we call this "just warming up."
Little 5th Dimensional
for my taste.
I say "When in Rome,
bring the gladiators."
Feel that?
The balance of power
just shifted.
No touching without consent.
I ad regum somniorum!
Stop trying
so hard, Supergirl.
You're gonna kill yourself.
Mon-El?
Your big speech
made the history books.
Easy-peasy, fresh...
and squeezy.
Jimmy.
Happened to be
in the neighborhood.
Take him, sis.
Vade retro ad regum somniorum.
You brought party crashers
to fight my party crashers.
That is a punishable faux-pas.
Not by you.
Now, Brainy!
This is for Legion.
Now, a blast from the past.
Mom?
You'd think in another life
I was a Kryptonian.
Only in the movies.
Mitch, right on time for once.
Incinerate them all.
I'm done with toxic
relationships.
What?
I'm with them now.
Oh, the two
with the good hair.
This should be fun.
No, all of us.
You two ready to give up?
Never.
The Imp is right.
It's always darkest
before the dawn.
Or shall I say... the infinite
night of the Phantom Zone?
Lex, what are you doing?
A single Phantom
almost created hell on Earth.
Who knows what will happen
with more?
Lex, don't be insane.
Close the portal now.
Once the portal's open,
it can't be closed.
Time for everyone to run along.
Feel free to leave your pieces
of the AllStone with me.
I'm not going anywhere.
Neither are we.
You can count us in, too.
Your funeral. Endless funeral.
Now.
Everyone, get ready!
No.
Lex. No!
Why aren't they attacking us?
Phantoms prey on fear.
And there's no greater cover
for fear than hubris.
No!
No!
No.
No!
No, no!
No!
Hubris.
He was an amazing man
who lived by his convictions.
We'll hold him
in our hearts forever.
Set up an award in his honor.
Hey, everybody.
I just got off the phone
with the President
and Secretary Brown.
They wanted to thank us
for our help with Lex
and Nyxly the other day.
They were inspired
by our victory--
And they want to
reconstitute the DEO.
Booyah! Right?
He's right.
What? I'm from the future.
I'm from the future.
By, uh, stopping Lex and Nyxly,
we proved that "extra-normal"
doesn't have to mean
"extra-terrestrial."
They're giving us carte blanche
to reimagine the DEO
however we see fit.
Are you sure that's
such a good idea?
That's what I was thinking.
The red tape,
the political infighting,
and they got in the way
of a lot of important work.
I agree with both of you,
but I think we should
take the offer
because what we did with Lex
and Nyxly was so important.
People all over the world
were inspired to empower
themselves and each other.
But that wasn't an all-purpose
cure for the problems
on this planet.
Good feelings
don't last forever.
So we have to do
the work every day.
We can't let
this recent victory
go to waste.
But if we do keep the fight up,
we can accomplish
the best in all of us.
Not as vigilantes...
...periodisomo de William Dey.
...but as civil servants.
Not as superheroes...
but as friends.
Well, there's our ride.
So you are coming
to the wedding, right?
Yes, of course.
I wouldn't miss it
for the world.
What about you?
You think you're gonna make it?
Uh...
Unfortunately, no. Um...
After Brainy merges
with the Big Brain,
there's a whole lot on my plate
with the Legion
after that, so...
I see. Yes.
I actually don't think
I'll ever be back
in this lifetime.
Your speech the other day...
I don't know if you realize
right now but...
it changed the course
of our future.
Empowering everyone
to be a hero of their own life.
You... you inspire us.
Always.
So you really can't stay?
Even just for the wedding?
I've already overstayed
my welcome.
The longer I remain in 2021--
The Big Brain is at risk.
You'll be in my dreams, Nia.
You've always been
the girl of my dreams.
I love you, Nia Nal.
I love you, too.
All right, Winn.
Okay.
Mr. Manhunter.
Sir.
Miss Danvers.
And Danvers.
Let's go to our field reporter
with some breaking news.
Firefighters are at a loss
at what to do with a cat
trapped in the branches
of National City's oldest tree,
which extends higher
than firefighters
can reach right now.
Oh.
Hold on a moment.
It appears local business
leaders have banded together,
to create a rope
and pulley system,
and they're getting
Howls, the British
Shorthair down right now.
Okay, kitty,
we're coming up to get you.
Here, kitty, kitty.
Hello?
Do you know who I despise,
Ker-rah?
I despise people.
All of them. I really do.
Ms. Grant?
People are not
only destructive, selfish,
they're just so stupid.
Ms. Grant,
do you, uh--
No, no, uh-uh, ee.
I'm speaking.
Yup.
Do you know that 50% of the
coral reefs are gone? Dead.
All because
of stupid human behavior.
You want to know what's
corroding the coral,
Ker-rah? Sunscreen.
Fourteen thousand tons of it.
And that is such a dilemma.
I had no idea there was so much
sunblock in the ocean.
That's terrible.
I really don't have any
time to educate you
right now, Ker-rah.
As we speak,
there is a gorgeous sea turtle
being strangled by a large
abandoned ghost net,
and I have to go rescue her
with my bare hands, and--
Oh!
Edgardo. Edgardo.
Afilla mi cuchillo.
Por favor.
Si, si, senorita.
Gracias. Gracias.
Edgardo. I love Edgardo.
He's my favorite divemaster.
I've been trying to learn
Espanol for him but...
sigh, it's not going very well.
Where are you?
Nuqui, Colombia,
the Pacific Coast.
But you know, Ker-rah,
I cannot stand here I'm sorry,
and chitchat. I am burning up.
I am wearing a wetsuit.
I need to get in the water.
Ms. Grant, wait. Wait.
Was there a reason
you called me?
Well, Ker-rah.
Yes. CatCo was for sale
so I bought it.
You...
You bought back CatCo?
Yes, I did.
Everything became clear.
I'm a reporter.
And there's no tool
more powerful for change
than the press.
So you and I,
we're going to sound the alarm.
And, together,
we are only going
to report on what's essential.
Oh, right.
I forgot to tell you.
I am hiring you
as my new editor-in-chief.
And the contracts are
in your inbox, and I'll
be home in two weeks.
Okay. Okay, I gotta go. Adios.
Edgardo. Edgardo, I'm ready.
Ms. Grant, that's--
Hello?
Hello?
Hey. Sorry I'm late.
The caterer broke her arms,
so we had to find a replacement
at the last minute and--
The arrangements. Kara.
The flowers aren't done.
You realize that the wedding
is in the morning, right?
Like, as in tomorrow?
Yes, I will super speed.
They will get done, I promise.
Okay. What's going on?
Uh, well, Cat Grant called me.
Um, she bought CatCo
back from Andrea.
You're kidding?
Nope.
And she offered me a job.
As... editor-in-chief.
Kara, that's your dream job.
I mean, I'm so excited for you.
I'm not gonna take it.
I'm not taking it.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. What?
What? What am I missing here?
Ever since we defeated
Lex and Nyxly and started
the work of empowering people,
I've been amazed at how
you and all of our friends
are flourishing.
You guys are living
your dreams.
Somehow I feel...
deflated.
Accept Cat's offer.
Maybe that'll give you
a sense of purpose.
Alex, I quit CatCo because
my attention was split.
I was never able
to really do my best
because I was always
sneaking off to be Supergirl,
and that hasn't changed.
If anything, it's gonna
be worse because I will have
much more responsibility now.
Your responsibilities
as Supergirl have changed
because you're no longer
shouldering that burden
of protecting the planet
on your own.
Maybe there's a world
where you can do both.
Doing both will always require
me to lie about who I am
and where I'm going.
Who am I now?
Everybody is so empowered.
And I feel less powerful
than ever.
Well, I wish that I could
give you all the answers,
but unfortunately,
you are the only one
that can figure this out.
But I, for one,
I'm not worried.
Because you are amazing.
And every time you've come
to a crossroad you have always
chosen the right path.
What would I do without you?
I know,
but you are gonna
find out quick
if you don't get these flower
arrangements done stat.
Oh, scary!
Wow, look!
Did Grandpa J'onn do that?
Yes, he did. Isn't it so cool?
Oh!
You, Alexandra,
you are a most radiant bride.
Thanks, Mom.
I know I made mistakes
as a mother,
but you have already parented
with more wisdom
than I ever had.
I am so, so proud of you.
Thank you, Mom.
I love you.
Guys, I want hugs, too.
Me, too.
Come here, of course.
So do I.
I love you.
I love you.
You're so beautiful.
You are. My girls.
You look radiant.
Oh, come on.
No, no, no, I'm serious.
My baby sister has grown up
to be such a woman of grace.
Alex and Esme
are so lucky have you.
Okay, you're gonna make me cry.
Dad would be so proud of you.
Dad would be
so proud of you, too.
Okay, all right. Come on.
I got something for you.
As you know, not all
heroes wear capes.
It's a signal watch,
upgraded by Alex,
so we can watch
each other's backs
any time we need to.
Just, small caveat,
Don't tell Mom I gave
that to you 'cause if you do,
she will make us portal in
for dinner every single night,
and I can't take the tacos.
I love you.
I love you too, kiddo.
Excuse me, miss?
You don't happen to have
a plus-one to this event,
do you?
What are you doing here?
What about the--
Space-time continuum?
The Big Brain?
Yes, yes, these are
valid concerns.
Logical concerns.
Sprock logic.
I love you, Nia.
I love you more than
I've ever loved anything.
I've devoted
my entire life to the pursuit
of protecting people,
but when I returned
to the future, I realized
that the pursuit felt hollow.
The most important thing to me
is devoting myself to you.
But what about the future?
What if us being together
does destroy the future?
That's the thing
about the future.
It hasn't been written yet.

Wow. Just wow.
I have been waiting
for this moment for...
a long, long time,
ever since I met
Alex and Kelly.
Now I know you're wondering
how I would know
this would happen.
I can assure you,
I did not read their minds.
I didn't have to.
It was obvious.
I've known Alex
for quite some time.
And whilst I've always
known her to be smart,
and dutiful, resourceful,
and a total badass,
I have always thought
that there was
something... missing.
Kelly is Alex's
missing puzzle piece.
They complement each other.
In each other's company,
they find balance.
And that balance...
at a foundational level...
is love.
And now I'd like to step back
and allow Kelly and Alex
to say exactly how they feel.
Alex... you have been my person
and my rock
and my voice of reason.
And occasionally, my beloved
agent of chaos.
Yeah!
Over the last two years,
I wish I could say
that I always knew it was you,
but I didn't know
until recently.
When you came home,
and you found me
distraught and heartbroken,
and you didn't try to fix me.
You didn't try
to put me back
together again.
You were just there to hold me.
And that's when I knew,
beyond any doubt,
that I couldn't live
another day without you.
So I vow to be
that person for you.
Someone who is there
for you when you need me.
I vow to hold space for you,
for our love,
for our family,
and for our future.
I spent so long living
this inauthentic life that
I forgot who I was.
It took a long time
to figure out myself,
but I was never really,
truly me...
until I found you.
You are my truth, Kelly.
And you and Esme...
have created a life for me
that I not only never dreamt
would be possible
three years ago.
So I promise to show you
the love that you've shown me.
And I promise to always, always
acknowledge the abundance
in our lives and to never
take it for granted,
never take you for granted,
as I'm yours, always.
I now pronounce you wife
and wife.
We're married!
Yeah.
Come here.
All these birdhouses
are so pretty.
Who made them?
We did! Me and Aunt Kara!
We've been working on it
as a surprise.
It's a lovebird theme!
Oh, thank you, my baby bird.
Ohh.
It's amazing
to see Alex so buoyant.
God, you remember
how she used to terrify me?
Her death stare while
interrogating prisoners
at the DEO.
The endless foot chases,
the amounts of glass
on the floor at the DEO.
You know, hopefully the new one
will be a beacon of peace,
not violence.
It will be.
At least, that's what, uh,
yours and M'gann's son
tells us.
Papa bear.
My son?
Uncle Jimmy, Uncle Jimmy,
I made you a special birdhouse,
just for you.
I knew you were
some kind of an artist.
This is amazing, thank you.
You really like it?
Anyone who doesn't like
a hand-painted birdhouse,
they don't have a heart, okay?
And I have a gift for you.
Your grandfather
had a camera just like this.
And he gave it to me.
And I figured
I would continue
the tradition.
I love it. And I love you.
I love you, too.
Now, let's show you
how to take a real picture.
So I have to say,
this is the best wedding
I've ever been to.
It kind of is, isn't it?
It's 'cause we have friends
that love us, friends that
are like family.
Which brings us to what
we wanted to discuss with you.
I know. You want
to adopt me, right?
Well, it's something like that,
but, um, in reverse.
We would, um,
we would really love for you
to be Esme's godmother.
I was just happy being
the really cool aunt
but yes, yes, of course!
I love you.
We love you.
You guys.
Oh, and Mxy sends
his regards from
the 5th Dimension.
He pops by the Legion
now and then.
Ha!
For the wedding,
actually he said that
he's going to give
Alex and Kelly one free wish...
No way.
worth $40 or less.
Oh, my God.
I miss you guys.
I miss the three
of us together.
The O.G. Super Friends.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Remember that room
in that CatCo
where we used to hide
from Ms. Grant so she didn't
know what we're doing?
Yes, with the drywall.
Yeah.
I learned about the multiverse
in that room, guys.
So did we.
I did, too. Yeah.
Man, I was Cat Grant's
I.T. guy, can you believe?
And then you two walk in
and suddenly change everything.
There I was, fighting bad guys
and making some super suits.
You make a good suit.
Thank you.
What I'm saying is that...
I mean, look at us.
We've come so far since then.
I figured out
what I really wanted in life.
Hey, guys, come on.
You're missing out.
Come on.
Uh-oh!
Oh, yeah. This is a great song.
Ms. Grant.
Ker-rah, hello.
Are you in the hospital?
Are you in traction?
What? No.
Well, you haven't
signed your contract
so what other explanation
can there be?
Yeah, about that I'm--
Oh, no. No, no, no.
Don't tell me you're stuck.
Yes, I--
Well, Ker-rah,
even environmental crusaders
take a day off.
Perhaps that's why
you're having another
personal crisis.
Because you never take a break.
No, no, it's not that. It's...
I don't know how to explain.
Well, you're
a grown-up now, Ker-rah.
Use your words.
Happy face, sad face.
Get in touch
with your feelings.
Give it a whirl.
I guess
I just never felt whole.
I have... I have
different sides to myself.
Kind of like
two different people,
but the two parts of me just...
They don't really go together.
Actually, I'm at
my sister's wedding right now,
and her life
is just blossoming.
She's fully at home
with who she is,
and what she stands for,
and it's amazing.
You can feel it.
I just feel--
Bifurcated?
Yes.
Inauthentic?
Well, yeah.
You know, it reminds me
of a quote from
an old English lord.
"Secrecy is the badge
of fraud."
And he should know, by the way,
because he used to feed
his hunting dogs
these little baby foxes
for lunch.
He was a monster.
But nevertheless,
there is no mystery here.
What do you mean?
That it doesn't take
Freud to see
that you have a secret
and it's obstructing your life.
And it's not serving you
anymore, so screw it.
Not that simple, Ms. Grant.
You can't understand.
I don't...
Oh. You're Supergirl.
La-di-da.
You...
You knew?
Please, those spectacles
disguised you
as much as a pair
of Groucho Marx glasses,
and you should have
just added the bushy eyebrows
and the moustache.
Well, I heard your speech here,
in Colombia.
Well... "Supergirl's" speech.
And "Supergirl" told the people
that they should become
empowered and that they should
take care of themselves.
And I'm wondering
why that message
doesn't apply to toi?
You have a good point.
Oh, Ker-rah,
I always have a point.
Now, let's take a look
at everything
that Supergirl and Kara Danvers
have accomplished separately.
And then let's imagine
what you could do
if you became one integrated,
authentic being.
I don't know if I'm ready.
Ker-rah, you need
to stop making excuses,
and you need to decide
what your course will be.
Now, there is important work
to be done, and I hope
you'll join me.
But more than that, I hope that
you will choose to become
your full self,
because that would really
be something to see.
And it would be interesting
because this is boring.
Thank you, Ms. Grant.
I really needed to hear that.
I believe in you,
I always have.
Here we go!
One, two, go!
Got it!
Yes!
Hey!
That bouquet looks good
on you, even if it did involve
a little cheating.
I prefer to call it initiative.
Looks like you're next, Brainy.
Oh, yes. By my calculations,
there's a 100% chance
Nia and I will be
getting married.
Hey, you.
Hey.
Where'd you go?
You missed all the fun.
Nia caught the bouquet.
Hey, did you fly away
to rescue some people?
No rest? Even on
your sister's wedding day?
Hey, what's wrong?
I'm supposed to be
the strongest person on earth,
but I think I'm actually
the weakest.
What are you talking about?
Ms. Grant...
My glasses...
I give speeches
inspiring people
to live their best lives.
But she's right.
I am too afraid
to live my own.
No, that's not true, Kara.
It is.
My entire life,
I've hid behind these glasses.
It's gotten in the way
of every job I've ever had,
everything I've ever wanted
to do, every relationship,
every friendship.
Maybe we did have
a bit of a bumpy road.
I think hiding who I am
is the reason I couldn't
pass the courage Gauntlet.
I created Supergirl that night
because the thought
of saving my sister as myself
was too terrifying.
Look, you've had
your entire life,
people telling you
who you're supposed to be
and that if you didn't
hide your true self then
the people would get hurt.
I mean, it's tough to move
beyond those type
of core wounds.
When Lillian told me
she basically programmed
the magic
out of me as a child,
I felt devastated.
But I was devastated
because I realized I didn't
have a chance to grow up
to be the person
I was supposed to be.
And I think
it's the same for you.
For me, it was always
about protecting
the Luthor name.
You know, I went from
trying to make that name
stand for something good
to try to be
my true mother's daughter.
My life was always framed
by someone else.
It wasn't until Lillian
told me the truth
that I realized I haven't
been living my own life.
And finally, now I am.
And it feels amazing.
I don't even know
what that would
feel like for me.
Connecting with someone
as my whole self.
To not be afraid
to just be who I am.
It sounds like
it could be empowering.
But what if I let myself
just be who I am
and someone gets hurt?
You can't always
be our savior, Kara.
You shine your light
and inspire others
to shine theirs.
Your words, not mine.
If somebody does come,
if they try to mess with this
family, then we will
take them on together.
El mayarah.
Hey, hey. It's okay.
Of all the friends
I have ever had,
you have pushed me the most,
challenged me the most.
You've made me
a better person.
Thank you.
Kara, Lena, come on!
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
They're leaving.
Bye.
Bye, Esme.
Bye, pumpkin
Be good.
Be good.
Look at that one.
Aw!
Love you, guys.
Bye!
We're out of here.
Bye, you guys.
Bye, Esme!
Bye! See you.
All right, here we go.
Okay, okay.
Don't worry.
Wait, wait!
I think I got it. I got it!
To Our Next Adventure.
No. It's The Adventures
of Tintin.
In Kara's defense,
that was bad.
Maybe I just said that
because the last six years
with all of you
have been
the greatest adventure
I ever could have imagined.
And I just can't wait
for the next one.
Well, if you think
getting sappy on us is going
to let us go any easier on you,
then you've got
another thing coming, so.
She's ruthless and drunk.
Cheers to that, girl.
Cheers!
Hello, National City.
You know her as Kara Danvers.
CatCo's ace reporter
and new editor-in-chief.
But tonight,
it is my great honor
to introduce to you...
Supergirl.
from all around the world
of people...
deteriorating.
Authorities now believe
that two unknown Titans
battling in National City
are the cause.
The more they battle,
the more hopeless the people
of the world become.
It's like we're fading away.
I'm sorry. I...
I can't.
I tried to save Lex.
Mother, don't...
You need to save your energy.
I'm dying, Lena.
Don't talk like that.
It's okay.
I'm ready to go.
But I need to tell you
something first.
I need to tell you that I knew.
I knew what your mother was.
I knew what you are.
You knew?
Your father was always happy
around you.
Your light, your intuition.
I was afraid for you,
that your powers would lead you
down a similar path
as your mother.
So I put talismans
around the house
to stifle what I knew
was burgeoning.
And pushed you towards science.
Over time, you forgot.
Your light diminished,
and you became a Luthor.
You can hate me, Lena,
but I was trying
to help the family.
To help you.
And what?
With these dying words
of this confession.
You want me to use that gift
to save your precious Lex.
I want to set you free.
I've been watching
while you worked.
Consternating over
your book of spells.
You're not owning that power
fully and you need to.
Forget about Lex.
Forget about what
I wanted you to do.
And live your life
the way you want to live it.
Kara.
Do you have a plan?
I needed time to think.
To process everything
that's happened.
See where I went wrong and...
suddenly it hit me.
My whole life as Supergirl
has been built on a premise
that is deeply flawed.
What do you mean?
I've been driven by this idea
that people need to be rescued.
That it was my job,
my mission... to save them.
I've believed it was
my calling to be...
Earth's hero.
It's just so clear to me now.
We don't need to be heroes.
We need to be partners.
And we need to actively empower
every single person
to be the hero
of their own life.
That hits home, Kara.
And it's relevant
to this crisis.
Lex and Nyxly are using
their AllStone pieces,
to empower themselves
by disempowering
everybody else.
So then the reverse
must be true.
If we empower the people,
that will disempower
Lex and Nyxly.
Given the rate people
are de-saturating,
to drain the AllStones
and stop Lex and Nyxly,
everyone in the world
would need to feel
empowered all at once.
I'll speak directly
to the people.
We just need to find
a way to get through
to every individual.
Only a mass surge of emotion
would be strong enough
to draw out the energy needed.
I've got it.
It's, uh...
my Legion crown.
It allows me to psychically
communicate anything
I hear and see with...
as many people as necessary.
You can use it to project
Supergirl's words into
everybody's mind.
Yes, but unfortunately,
I cannot make them take in
what she's saying.
People come
with a lifetime of baggage.
It can take years for them
to believe in themselves.
And for this plan to succeed,
we need to find a way
around people's natural
defense mechanisms.
I may have a way.
Lena.
She's gone.
I'm so sorry.
Me, too.
But I'm at peace.
I didn't get closure
with my mom, but I did with
Lillian and so it's a gift.
I know a spell that will
melt people's defenses,
and allow them to hear
Supergirl's words
with an open heart.
It won't last long
but it'll be long enough.
The two Titans
have just crashed into
National City Terminal.
It seems like a good place
to contain them while
you get to work.
Mind if I tag along?
Us, too.
I'll go get my supplies.
Aperto corpore, apertis mentis.
Whenever you're ready.
Animo, aperto corpore...
At this moment,
villains are tapping into
your collective life force.
They're trying to siphon
your truth, hope, courage,
Supergirl?
dreams, your humanity.
They're trying to vanquish
your destiny.
They think that
you're helpless.
Supergirl.
What they don't realize
is that your power is innate.
It's always been within you.
I know there are
so many factors that can cause
people to not feel their power
but I'm here to remind you
that none of those things
hold a candle...
to the power every single
one of you possesses within.
I thought I was supposed
to save everyone.
But I see now,
there's only one way for this
world to heal and flourish:
By all of us working together
as a team.
When each of us contributes
our unique gifts to the world
with a full heart,
together, we will shine.
The power of one individual
is enough to move mountains.
If we can all tap into
the deepest truths of our soul,
and own our magnificence,
together, we will defeat
the powers of darkness.
Together... we will
be unstoppable.
Together...
we will create a better world.
It worked.
The AllStone's strength
has dropped below 20%.
That mean Lex and Nyxly's
powers dropped, too.
The people have
taken their power back.
Now it's time for you
to give up.
You're jumping
the gun, Kryptonian.
He's right.
In my dimension,
we call this "just warming up."
Little 5th Dimensional
for my taste.
I say "When in Rome,
bring the gladiators."
Feel that?
The balance of power
just shifted.
No touching without consent.
I ad regum somniorum!
Stop trying
so hard, Supergirl.
You're gonna kill yourself.
Mon-El?
Your big speech
made the history books.
Easy-peasy, fresh...
and squeezy.
Jimmy.
Happened to be
in the neighborhood.
Take him, sis.
Vade retro ad regum somniorum.
You brought party crashers
to fight my party crashers.
That is a punishable faux-pas.
Not by you.
Now, Brainy!
This is for Legion.
Now, a blast from the past.
Mom?
You'd think in another life
I was a Kryptonian.
Only in the movies.
Mitch, right on time for once.
Incinerate them all.
I'm done with toxic
relationships.
What?
I'm with them now.
Oh, the two
with the good hair.
This should be fun.
No, all of us.
You two ready to give up?
Never.
The Imp is right.
It's always darkest
before the dawn.
Or shall I say... the infinite
night of the Phantom Zone?
Lex, what are you doing?
A single Phantom
almost created hell on Earth.
Who knows what will happen
with more?
Lex, don't be insane.
Close the portal now.
Once the portal's open,
it can't be closed.
Time for everyone to run along.
Feel free to leave your pieces
of the AllStone with me.
I'm not going anywhere.
Neither are we.
You can count us in, too.
Your funeral. Endless funeral.
Now.
Everyone, get ready!
No.
Lex. No!
Why aren't they attacking us?
Phantoms prey on fear.
And there's no greater cover
for fear than hubris.
No!
No!
No.
No!
No, no!
No!
Hubris.
He was an amazing man
who lived by his convictions.
We'll hold him
in our hearts forever.
Set up an award in his honor.
Hey, everybody.
I just got off the phone
with the President
and Secretary Brown.
They wanted to thank us
for our help with Lex
and Nyxly the other day.
They were inspired
by our victory--
And they want to
reconstitute the DEO.
Booyah! Right?
He's right.
What? I'm from the future.
I'm from the future.
By, uh, stopping Lex and Nyxly,
we proved that "extra-normal"
doesn't have to mean
"extra-terrestrial."
They're giving us carte blanche
to reimagine the DEO
however we see fit.
Are you sure that's
such a good idea?
That's what I was thinking.
The red tape,
the political infighting,
and they got in the way
of a lot of important work.
I agree with both of you,
but I think we should
take the offer
because what we did with Lex
and Nyxly was so important.
People all over the world
were inspired to empower
themselves and each other.
But that wasn't an all-purpose
cure for the problems
on this planet.
Good feelings
don't last forever.
So we have to do
the work every day.
We can't let
this recent victory
go to waste.
But if we do keep the fight up,
we can accomplish
the best in all of us.
Not as vigilantes...
...periodisomo de William Dey.
...but as civil servants.
Not as superheroes...
but as friends.
Well, there's our ride.
So you are coming
to the wedding, right?
Yes, of course.
I wouldn't miss it
for the world.
What about you?
You think you're gonna make it?
Uh...
Unfortunately, no. Um...
After Brainy merges
with the Big Brain,
there's a whole lot on my plate
with the Legion
after that, so...
I see. Yes.
I actually don't think
I'll ever be back
in this lifetime.
Your speech the other day...
I don't know if you realize
right now but...
it changed the course
of our future.
Empowering everyone
to be a hero of their own life.
You... you inspire us.
Always.
So you really can't stay?
Even just for the wedding?
I've already overstayed
my welcome.
The longer I remain in 2021--
The Big Brain is at risk.
You'll be in my dreams, Nia.
You've always been
the girl of my dreams.
I love you, Nia Nal.
I love you, too.
All right, Winn.
Okay.
Mr. Manhunter.
Sir.
Miss Danvers.
And Danvers.
Let's go to our field reporter
with some breaking news.
Firefighters are at a loss
at what to do with a cat
trapped in the branches
of National City's oldest tree,
which extends higher
than firefighters
can reach right now.
Oh.
Hold on a moment.
It appears local business
leaders have banded together,
to create a rope
and pulley system,
and they're getting
Howls, the British
Shorthair down right now.
Okay, kitty,
we're coming up to get you.
Here, kitty, kitty.
Hello?
Do you know who I despise,
Ker-rah?
I despise people.
All of them. I really do.
Ms. Grant?
People are not
only destructive, selfish,
they're just so stupid.
Ms. Grant,
do you, uh--
No, no, uh-uh, ee.
I'm speaking.
Yup.
Do you know that 50% of the
coral reefs are gone? Dead.
All because
of stupid human behavior.
You want to know what's
corroding the coral,
Ker-rah? Sunscreen.
Fourteen thousand tons of it.
And that is such a dilemma.
I had no idea there was so much
sunblock in the ocean.
That's terrible.
I really don't have any
time to educate you
right now, Ker-rah.
As we speak,
there is a gorgeous sea turtle
being strangled by a large
abandoned ghost net,
and I have to go rescue her
with my bare hands, and--
Oh!
Edgardo. Edgardo.
Afilla mi cuchillo.
Por favor.
Si, si, senorita.
Gracias. Gracias.
Edgardo. I love Edgardo.
He's my favorite divemaster.
I've been trying to learn
Espanol for him but...
sigh, it's not going very well.
Where are you?
Nuqui, Colombia,
the Pacific Coast.
But you know, Ker-rah,
I cannot stand here I'm sorry,
and chitchat. I am burning up.
I am wearing a wetsuit.
I need to get in the water.
Ms. Grant, wait. Wait.
Was there a reason
you called me?
Well, Ker-rah.
Yes. CatCo was for sale
so I bought it.
You...
You bought back CatCo?
Yes, I did.
Everything became clear.
I'm a reporter.
And there's no tool
more powerful for change
than the press.
So you and I,
we're going to sound the alarm.
And, together,
we are only going
to report on what's essential.
Oh, right.
I forgot to tell you.
I am hiring you
as my new editor-in-chief.
And the contracts are
in your inbox, and I'll
be home in two weeks.
Okay. Okay, I gotta go. Adios.
Edgardo. Edgardo, I'm ready.
Ms. Grant, that's--
Hello?
Hello?
Hey. Sorry I'm late.
The caterer broke her arms,
so we had to find a replacement
at the last minute and--
The arrangements. Kara.
The flowers aren't done.
You realize that the wedding
is in the morning, right?
Like, as in tomorrow?
Yes, I will super speed.
They will get done, I promise.
Okay. What's going on?
Uh, well, Cat Grant called me.
Um, she bought CatCo
back from Andrea.
You're kidding?
Nope.
And she offered me a job.
As... editor-in-chief.
Kara, that's your dream job.
I mean, I'm so excited for you.
I'm not gonna take it.
I'm not taking it.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. What?
What? What am I missing here?
Ever since we defeated
Lex and Nyxly and started
the work of empowering people,
I've been amazed at how
you and all of our friends
are flourishing.
You guys are living
your dreams.
Somehow I feel...
deflated.
Accept Cat's offer.
Maybe that'll give you
a sense of purpose.
Alex, I quit CatCo because
my attention was split.
I was never able
to really do my best
because I was always
sneaking off to be Supergirl,
and that hasn't changed.
If anything, it's gonna
be worse because I will have
much more responsibility now.
Your responsibilities
as Supergirl have changed
because you're no longer
shouldering that burden
of protecting the planet
on your own.
Maybe there's a world
where you can do both.
Doing both will always require
me to lie about who I am
and where I'm going.
Who am I now?
Everybody is so empowered.
And I feel less powerful
than ever.
Well, I wish that I could
give you all the answers,
but unfortunately,
you are the only one
that can figure this out.
But I, for one,
I'm not worried.
Because you are amazing.
And every time you've come
to a crossroad you have always
chosen the right path.
What would I do without you?
I know,
but you are gonna
find out quick
if you don't get these flower
arrangements done stat.
Oh, scary!
Wow, look!
Did Grandpa J'onn do that?
Yes, he did. Isn't it so cool?
Oh!
You, Alexandra,
you are a most radiant bride.
Thanks, Mom.
I know I made mistakes
as a mother,
but you have already parented
with more wisdom
than I ever had.
I am so, so proud of you.
Thank you, Mom.
I love you.
Guys, I want hugs, too.
Me, too.
Come here, of course.
So do I.
I love you.
I love you.
You're so beautiful.
You are. My girls.
You look radiant.
Oh, come on.
No, no, no, I'm serious.
My baby sister has grown up
to be such a woman of grace.
Alex and Esme
are so lucky have you.
Okay, you're gonna make me cry.
Dad would be so proud of you.
Dad would be
so proud of you, too.
Okay, all right. Come on.
I got something for you.
As you know, not all
heroes wear capes.
It's a signal watch,
upgraded by Alex,
so we can watch
each other's backs
any time we need to.
Just, small caveat,
Don't tell Mom I gave
that to you 'cause if you do,
she will make us portal in
for dinner every single night,
and I can't take the tacos.
I love you.
I love you too, kiddo.
Excuse me, miss?
You don't happen to have
a plus-one to this event,
do you?
What are you doing here?
What about the--
Space-time continuum?
The Big Brain?
Yes, yes, these are
valid concerns.
Logical concerns.
Sprock logic.
I love you, Nia.
I love you more than
I've ever loved anything.
I've devoted
my entire life to the pursuit
of protecting people,
but when I returned
to the future, I realized
that the pursuit felt hollow.
The most important thing to me
is devoting myself to you.
But what about the future?
What if us being together
does destroy the future?
That's the thing
about the future.
It hasn't been written yet.

Wow. Just wow.
I have been waiting
for this moment for...
a long, long time,
ever since I met
Alex and Kelly.
Now I know you're wondering
how I would know
this would happen.
I can assure you,
I did not read their minds.
I didn't have to.
It was obvious.
I've known Alex
for quite some time.
And whilst I've always
known her to be smart,
and dutiful, resourceful,
and a total badass,
I have always thought
that there was
something... missing.
Kelly is Alex's
missing puzzle piece.
They complement each other.
In each other's company,
they find balance.
And that balance...
at a foundational level...
is love.
And now I'd like to step back
and allow Kelly and Alex
to say exactly how they feel.
Alex... you have been my person
and my rock
and my voice of reason.
And occasionally, my beloved
agent of chaos.
Yeah!
Over the last two years,
I wish I could say
that I always knew it was you,
but I didn't know
until recently.
When you came home,
and you found me
distraught and heartbroken,
and you didn't try to fix me.
You didn't try
to put me back
together again.
You were just there to hold me.
And that's when I knew,
beyond any doubt,
that I couldn't live
another day without you.
So I vow to be
that person for you.
Someone who is there
for you when you need me.
I vow to hold space for you,
for our love,
for our family,
and for our future.
I spent so long living
this inauthentic life that
I forgot who I was.
It took a long time
to figure out myself,
but I was never really,
truly me...
until I found you.
You are my truth, Kelly.
And you and Esme...
have created a life for me
that I not only never dreamt
would be possible
three years ago.
So I promise to show you
the love that you've shown me.
And I promise to always, always
acknowledge the abundance
in our lives and to never
take it for granted,
never take you for granted,
as I'm yours, always.
I now pronounce you wife
and wife.
We're married!
Yeah.
Come here.
All these birdhouses
are so pretty.
Who made them?
We did! Me and Aunt Kara!
We've been working on it
as a surprise.
It's a lovebird theme!
Oh, thank you, my baby bird.
Ohh.
It's amazing
to see Alex so buoyant.
God, you remember
how she used to terrify me?
Her death stare while
interrogating prisoners
at the DEO.
The endless foot chases,
the amounts of glass
on the floor at the DEO.
You know, hopefully the new one
will be a beacon of peace,
not violence.
It will be.
At least, that's what, uh,
yours and M'gann's son
tells us.
Papa bear.
My son?
Uncle Jimmy, Uncle Jimmy,
I made you a special birdhouse,
just for you.
I knew you were
some kind of an artist.
This is amazing, thank you.
You really like it?
Anyone who doesn't like
a hand-painted birdhouse,
they don't have a heart, okay?
And I have a gift for you.
Your grandfather
had a camera just like this.
And he gave it to me.
And I figured
I would continue
the tradition.
I love it. And I love you.
I love you, too.
Now, let's show you
how to take a real picture.
So I have to say,
this is the best wedding
I've ever been to.
It kind of is, isn't it?
It's 'cause we have friends
that love us, friends that
are like family.
Which brings us to what
we wanted to discuss with you.
I know. You want
to adopt me, right?
Well, it's something like that,
but, um, in reverse.
We would, um,
we would really love for you
to be Esme's godmother.
I was just happy being
the really cool aunt
but yes, yes, of course!
I love you.
We love you.
You guys.
Oh, and Mxy sends
his regards from
the 5th Dimension.
He pops by the Legion
now and then.
Ha!
For the wedding,
actually he said that
he's going to give
Alex and Kelly one free wish...
No way.
worth $40 or less.
Oh, my God.
I miss you guys.
I miss the three
of us together.
The O.G. Super Friends.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Remember that room
in that CatCo
where we used to hide
from Ms. Grant so she didn't
know what we're doing?
Yes, with the drywall.
Yeah.
I learned about the multiverse
in that room, guys.
So did we.
I did, too. Yeah.
Man, I was Cat Grant's
I.T. guy, can you believe?
And then you two walk in
and suddenly change everything.
There I was, fighting bad guys
and making some super suits.
You make a good suit.
Thank you.
What I'm saying is that...
I mean, look at us.
We've come so far since then.
I figured out
what I really wanted in life.
Hey, guys, come on.
You're missing out.
Come on.
Uh-oh!
Oh, yeah. This is a great song.
Ms. Grant.
Ker-rah, hello.
Are you in the hospital?
Are you in traction?
What? No.
Well, you haven't
signed your contract
so what other explanation
can there be?
Yeah, about that I'm--
Oh, no. No, no, no.
Don't tell me you're stuck.
Yes, I--
Well, Ker-rah,
even environmental crusaders
take a day off.
Perhaps that's why
you're having another
personal crisis.
Because you never take a break.
No, no, it's not that. It's...
I don't know how to explain.
Well, you're
a grown-up now, Ker-rah.
Use your words.
Happy face, sad face.
Get in touch
with your feelings.
Give it a whirl.
I guess
I just never felt whole.
I have... I have
different sides to myself.
Kind of like
two different people,
but the two parts of me just...
They don't really go together.
Actually, I'm at
my sister's wedding right now,
and her life
is just blossoming.
She's fully at home
with who she is,
and what she stands for,
and it's amazing.
You can feel it.
I just feel--
Bifurcated?
Yes.
Inauthentic?
Well, yeah.
You know, it reminds me
of a quote from
an old English lord.
"Secrecy is the badge
of fraud."
And he should know, by the way,
because he used to feed
his hunting dogs
these little baby foxes
for lunch.
He was a monster.
But nevertheless,
there is no mystery here.
What do you mean?
That it doesn't take
Freud to see
that you have a secret
and it's obstructing your life.
And it's not serving you
anymore, so screw it.
Not that simple, Ms. Grant.
You can't understand.
I don't...
Oh. You're Supergirl.
La-di-da.
You...
You knew?
Please, those spectacles
disguised you
as much as a pair
of Groucho Marx glasses,
and you should have
just added the bushy eyebrows
and the moustache.
Well, I heard your speech here,
in Colombia.
Well... "Supergirl's" speech.
And "Supergirl" told the people
that they should become
empowered and that they should
take care of themselves.
And I'm wondering
why that message
doesn't apply to toi?
You have a good point.
Oh, Ker-rah,
I always have a point.
Now, let's take a look
at everything
that Supergirl and Kara Danvers
have accomplished separately.
And then let's imagine
what you could do
if you became one integrated,
authentic being.
I don't know if I'm ready.
Ker-rah, you need
to stop making excuses,
and you need to decide
what your course will be.
Now, there is important work
to be done, and I hope
you'll join me.
But more than that, I hope that
you will choose to become
your full self,
because that would really
be something to see.
And it would be interesting
because this is boring.
Thank you, Ms. Grant.
I really needed to hear that.
I believe in you,
I always have.
Here we go!
One, two, go!
Got it!
Yes!
Hey!
That bouquet looks good
on you, even if it did involve
a little cheating.
I prefer to call it initiative.
Looks like you're next, Brainy.
Oh, yes. By my calculations,
there's a 100% chance
Nia and I will be
getting married.
Hey, you.
Hey.
Where'd you go?
You missed all the fun.
Nia caught the bouquet.
Hey, did you fly away
to rescue some people?
No rest? Even on
your sister's wedding day?
Hey, what's wrong?
I'm supposed to be
the strongest person on earth,
but I think I'm actually
the weakest.
What are you talking about?
Ms. Grant...
My glasses...
I give speeches
inspiring people
to live their best lives.
But she's right.
I am too afraid
to live my own.
No, that's not true, Kara.
It is.
My entire life,
I've hid behind these glasses.
It's gotten in the way
of every job I've ever had,
everything I've ever wanted
to do, every relationship,
every friendship.
Maybe we did have
a bit of a bumpy road.
I think hiding who I am
is the reason I couldn't
pass the courage Gauntlet.
I created Supergirl that night
because the thought
of saving my sister as myself
was too terrifying.
Look, you've had
your entire life,
people telling you
who you're supposed to be
and that if you didn't
hide your true self then
the people would get hurt.
I mean, it's tough to move
beyond those type
of core wounds.
When Lillian told me
she basically programmed
the magic
out of me as a child,
I felt devastated.
But I was devastated
because I realized I didn't
have a chance to grow up
to be the person
I was supposed to be.
And I think
it's the same for you.
For me, it was always
about protecting
the Luthor name.
You know, I went from
trying to make that name
stand for something good
to try to be
my true mother's daughter.
My life was always framed
by someone else.
It wasn't until Lillian
told me the truth
that I realized I haven't
been living my own life.
And finally, now I am.
And it feels amazing.
I don't even know
what that would
feel like for me.
Connecting with someone
as my whole self.
To not be afraid
to just be who I am.
It sounds like
it could be empowering.
But what if I let myself
just be who I am
and someone gets hurt?
You can't always
be our savior, Kara.
You shine your light
and inspire others
to shine theirs.
Your words, not mine.
If somebody does come,
if they try to mess with this
family, then we will
take them on together.
El mayarah.
Hey, hey. It's okay.
Of all the friends
I have ever had,
you have pushed me the most,
challenged me the most.
You've made me
a better person.
Thank you.
Kara, Lena, come on!
You okay?
Yeah, I'm fine.
They're leaving.
Bye.
Bye, Esme.
Bye, pumpkin
Be good.
Be good.
Look at that one.
Aw!
Love you, guys.
Bye!
We're out of here.
Bye, you guys.
Bye, Esme!
Bye! See you.
All right, here we go.
Okay, okay.
Don't worry.
Wait, wait!
I think I got it. I got it!
To Our Next Adventure.
No. It's The Adventures
of Tintin.
In Kara's defense,
that was bad.
Maybe I just said that
because the last six years
with all of you
have been
the greatest adventure
I ever could have imagined.
And I just can't wait
for the next one.
Well, if you think
getting sappy on us is going
to let us go any easier on you,
then you've got
another thing coming, so.
She's ruthless and drunk.
Cheers to that, girl.
Cheers!
Hello, National City.
You know her as Kara Danvers.
CatCo's ace reporter
and new editor-in-chief.
But tonight,
it is my great honor
to introduce to you...
Supergirl.
