Superman blames J'onn because the Kryptonite was stolen from the D.E.O. If anyone wasn’t already sold on the concept of a Dreamer spinoff, this episode makes a compelling case.Synopsis Cadmus attacks National City with a Kryptonite-powered villain who ends up seriously hurting Supergirl. It’s a nice grace note on their relationship for Nia – who is clearly instrumental in saving Kara – to offer teenage Kara a heroic alien to look up to, and some sense that she’s not alone. Nia and Kara’s relationship has been a joy to watch unfold over the last three seasons, especially as Nia truly grew into a reporter and hero of her own in the fifth season. Nia even unwittingly helps Cat toward reclaiming her name and launching her media empire. Here, Nia gets to do some managing up, reminding Cat of her own value and why she got into the business in the first place. While we never saw it on screen, (and it’s incredibly hard to believe given her age and experience), Nia was a political speechwriter for Cat Grant when she was press secretary for President Marsdin (Lynda Carter.) It was Cat who recommended that Kara hire Nia in the first place. As a way to bring Cat Grant back to say a final farewell, it’s a lovely homage to the character Calista Flockhart and the writers created at CBS and brought over to the CW before Flockhart departed.ĬJ’s arc also contributed to a lovely theme of the episode where Nia had the chance to shape the lives of two women who had such a profound impact on her own. Whether that meant giving Kenny Li (Peter Sudarso) a pep talk or pushing back on her sexist boss for pigeonholing her with weightless stories, it’s easy to see how CJ becomes the Cat that both terrified and inspired Kara in equal measure. Serving as something of a Cat Grant origin story, one of the episode’s strengths was showing an earlier incarnation of Cat at her best. That would explain why both prom nights take place during the “Prom Again!” episode, leaving nary a prom night for the appropriately named episode. It’s a wise choice, but if the writers were going to have her immediately change course, it begs the question: why regress that relationship to begin with? Perhaps they were dead-set on the idea of a two-parter but couldn’t come up with the material to fill both episodes.
The dynamic between the Danvers sisters changed almost immediately, with Alex realizing her lapse in judgment on multiple fronts. Instead of forcing us to have to look at and listen to them, their ship became scenery and they were something like living MacGuffins, somewhere between objective and obstacle depending on the scene, but content-irrelevant and almost entirely off-screen. The bounty-hunting aliens were barely on screen, even as they became a bigger plot engine than before. This episode resolved two of the biggest issues that plagued the first half of the two-parter. For her part, Chyler Leigh herself made her directorial debut in an episode that was so good, Brainy even happy-cried. Part Cat Grant-origin story, part sales pitch for a Dreamer (and Brainy?) spin-off, Olivia Nikkanen (young Alex) and Izabela Vidovic (young Kara) continue to wholly embody Chyler Leigh and Melissa Benoist to an eerily impressive level.
