(All of that sounds very similar toanother superhero shows freshman closer.)

The episode picks up where last week left off with Kara and Alex about to fight.

Jonn and Eliza show up right as Alex is about to plunge the Kryptonite sword into Karas chest.

(It helps that the show has been preparing us for this kind of thing all season long.)

I need you to hope, she says to National City.

Hope that you will remember that you could all heroes.

Hope that when faced with an enemy determined to destroy your spirit you will fight back and thrive.

And, the plan works.

Supergirls emblem wakes up everyone in National City.

But, this doesnt stop Non.

Indigo convinces him to kill everyone on Earth and then use Myriad to conquer the rest of the universe.

NEXT: Time to say goodbye

The next day, National City seems to be back to normal.

However, the calm doesnt last very long at all.

Short story shorter, they arent good.

Instead of telling the truth, she just hints at it really hard by going on a goodbye tour.

The show never lets us get lost in the fight scene, which is admittedly really cool.

But, Kara doesnt care and does it anyway.

The look of amazement on Jonns face as she flies the prison away says it all.

Thankfully, she doesnt die because Alex uses the pod that brought Kara to Earth to save her.

Meanwhile, Kara returns to CatCo and finds out that shes been promoted.

As soon as she unwraps the photo, he kisses her.

Its commendable that the show wasnt afraid to give Kara and company a happy ending.

Did you notice how no one died in the finale?

Thats definitely remarkable, especially given Berlanti and companys track record when it comes to finales.

Supergirls first season was far from perfect.

At times, it was messy and very clunky and most of the villains of the week were forgettable.

The pod opens, Kara gasps and the episode cuts to black without revealing whos inside.
