• wiki: link

The latest episode continues the team-up of Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Lena (Katie McGrath) as the pair head to Kaznia to investigate the evil plans of Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer). Not only will they find multiple versions of Eve (Andrea Brooks), thanks to Lex playing with super-hero powers, but they also uncover Luthor’s big secret in the “Red Daughter.” There are at least three separate moments in “Will The Real Miss Tessmacher Please Stand Up?” where Kara not only could have told Lena her secret but should have. There can be little doubt at this point that Lena will learn the truth from someone other than Kara likely splintering their friendship and pushing her down the super-villain/nemesis road, although for now they appear to be solidly together in the hunt for Lex and the other Supergirl.

While a trip to Lex Luthor‘s (Jon Cryer) prison doesn’t offer an immediate answers, Lena (Katie McGrath) and Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) confirm his comings and goings from the prison and the existence of a hidden lab behind his cell. The growing target on Supergirl’s chest also forces Kara to re-examine her current course of action as it appears Kara, rather than Supergirl, has the necessary skills to get to the bottom of the attack on the White House and Luthor’s ultimate goal. In putting Supergirl and her tarnished image aside, Kara instead turns to her reporter instincts and makes a valuable ally (Willie Garson) who offers the first clue towards what Lex Luthor may be up to.

• Title: Supergirl – All About Eve

Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) may not appear in “All About Eve,” but the episode deals primarily with the fallout from his escape. Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) enlists the help of Alex (Chyler Leigh) and Lena (Katie McGrath) in a hunt for Eve (Andrea Brooks) who they believe can lead them to Lex. The trouble for Supergirl is Lex has already thought of that and uses Eve as bait to lure Supergirl to the time and place of his choosing to enact the next part of his plan. Despite the discovery of Lena’s secret experiments, the episode doesn’t further the rift between Lena and the Maid of Might as the two find common ground (which is a good thing because Supergirl is going to need all the help she can get). Has Lena’s villainous turn been shelved for good this time? Hopefully.

• Title: Supergirl – The House of L

Supergirl has consistently been the best of The CW’s super-hero shows for awhile now. And now it has a villain equal to its hero. After a short sequence showing Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) fight off Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), the rest of the episode features extended flashbacks from the day Lex was sent to prison to the present. Devious, manipulative, and willing to go to great lengths to get what he wants, “The House of L” reveals Lex’s relationship to the “other” Supergirl that we saw show up in Kaznia at the end of last year along with highlighting the various plans and manipulations he’s pulled off from a prison cell planning for this day. Although we get very little of Kara Danvers in this episode, Melissa Benoist is prominently featured as the show finally offers a true introduction to the Red Daughter.
