They are fighters and talkers and lovers and planners and above all else, they are strong.
We left our heroes facing down a sky full of Daxamite ships, come to colonize Earth.
She invites Lena to preside over the new world theyll create together.

Daxamite foot soldiers swarm National City murdering and terrorizing citizens, including the NCP and the DEO.
Its spectacular and made more so when Supergirl swoops in to catch her at the last minute.
Oh, you liked that bit of girl power?
When Lenas stubborn, she threatens the Luthor Family Childrens Home and then escalates to all the hospitals.
Lena and Mon-El sulkily give in.
They all hope Supermans out there fighting in the streets.
(Thats what we call foreshadowing, kids.)
(you’re free to just say, I told you so, Winn mutters.
Ididtell you so, she replies.)
Next up is another powerful woman with teleconferencing powers.
President Marsdin beams her image onto the mothership and orders Rhea to abandon her plans.
Rhea threatens to come to D.C., but Marsdins already on Air Force One and heading toward the fight.
YESSSS, CAT, YOUVE COME BACK TO US AT LAST.
The presidents aDurlan, yall!
At least tell me youre still a Democrat, says the unruffled Cat.
This episode, I swear.
This gives Marsdin an opportunity to explain that she was born on Durla.
They hoped for the best when the invaders came, but her people were enslaved within a year.
She was one of the few who escaped, which explains her support for alien refugeesearlier in the season.
With Jonn still comatose after his run-in with Rhea last week, Alex is acting director of the DEO.
This doesnt sit well with Kara, whose boyfriend and best friend are on said ship.
Cat thanks Supergirl for saving her, and Supergirl explains her dilemma.
Its about who you love.
Therefore, its not selfish to want to rescue the people Supergirl loves.
In fact, its everything.
Supergirl says shes missed Cats advice, and Cat says shes missed giving it.
Calista, can I interest you in the Canadian real estate listings?
Im sure you could find a property with a helipad for Harry.
has a Phantom Zone projector that can beam prisoners to Fort Rozz.
kindly, just be faster than me, she says.
Faster than a speeding bullet, Kara assures her.
All the sister feels!
), Kara busts Lillian for knowing her identity and asks why she hasnt told Lena.
Ice in her veins, that one.
What a great villain.
Kara agrees with me and says she cant wait to go back to being enemies.
She and Mon-El grudgingly stand before Rhea and join hands.
(Hilariously, Rheas in a much scaled-back tiara after the Cat-lashing.)
Speaking of, she and Winn survey the damage at CatCo after last weekschild telepathwrecked some things.
But thats not why Cats upset.
There arefree weightsin myoffice, she gasps, then side-eyes the sports paraphernalia where her Diptyque candles should be.
Im going to have to burn sage for, like, a century.
She demands to know where James and Kara are, and Winn stammers out that theyre both big cowards.
GOD, I LOVE HER.
The Cat transmission gets beamed across the city and interrupts Rheas little wedding speech.
She tells the citizens of Earth that even though theyre afraid, theyve got power.
And more importantly, they have a job to do: Resist.
Resist these invaders with everything youve got.
Everyone needs to be a superhero.
Then she warns Tiara Woman that shes come to the wrong town.
), or it’s possible for you to just stick with the situation on screen.
Either way, yesssss, Queen Cat.
Sisters are definitely doin it for themselves this week.
And then next thing you know, theres Supergirl on the other side of the door!
Lenas horrified by Lillians betrayal, and Lillians confused that Lenas not on her side yet.
However, Kara tells Mon-El shes staying behind to give Rhea one more chance to surrender.
Mon-El warns her that it wont work, then kisses her and beams away.
Man, Mon-El was kind of an afterthought this week.
On Earth, the Daxamite kill squad has Cat and Winn surrounded, and its Guardian to the rescue.
She blithely replies, Thanks, James, then says, Oh, honey.
I can see your eyes through the slit.
Oh, but poor Alex.
(I still argue this was a tragic waste of Kevin Sorbo.)
And then on the ship, a sucker punch knocks Kara to the ground.
And that punch was delivered by Superman, in all his chiseled glory.
