Season four showed that truth, justice and the American way are stronger than fear and hate, as Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) stopped Lex Luthor’s anti-alien campaign with the power of the press, no cape required. As the world returns to normal, some things will never be the same now that Lena (Kate McGrath) knows Kara’s secret and the Monitor has arrived on Earth 38!

Solid episode.

Don't really have too much to say this week. Surprised to see James leave so early this season, thought he would stick around until the midseason finale/Crisis. The stuff with Malefic was fine, glad that he hasn't disappeared (though how did Lena get a hold of him if he was going into the Phantom Zone?). Was hoping Brainy would have a chance to turn evil again, but that doesn't seem like it will be happening soon.

Honestly, thought one of the strongest parts of the episode was the ending where we found out what William has really been up to (which we had more or less figured out) and where he revealed his true self.

So far this week:

1. Batwoman (solid/good)
2. Supergirl (solid)

I'm still not understanding Lena's motivation to be evil.
