I'm sure she'll fake going to the dark side to infiltrate Leviathan, but will work to take them down. I do wonder how this will affect her relationship with Kara, especially when the time comes that Kara comes clean.
Also- so Eve was a triple agent? She worked for Leviathan while working for Lex while working for Lena?
In order:
Actually, yes. I figured that Warner Bros gave the okay to use Lex for a couple of episodes, but they wouldn't allow him to be left on the board to be used again. Kinda like Deathstroke, or even Superman.
The one thing that bothered me about Kara reabsorbing Red Daugher- she also absorbed her uniform? They should have done the Jedi thing and have her fade out of her clothes.
Agreed on both parts.
Maggie served a much larger purpose. She allowed Alex to come out, and was a supportive partner to her both in the field and in the home. Plus there was a buildup to their relationship. Katy just showed up one day, said "Oh, by the way, I'm gay" the next, and then ended up as Alex's girlfriend. This is the worst set-up relationship I've seen on any of these shows.
I do agree that it was nice that we didn't have to worry about Kara's relationship of the season- but I think that was because they focused mainly on her relationship with Alex.
New question- does Lillian's pardon stand now that Lex was exposed? I can't believe I'm saying this, but I really enjoyed her both this episode and the last.
A bat! That's it! It's an omen.. I'll shall become a bat!

THE CBR COMMUNITY STANDARDS & RULES ~ So... what's your excuse now?
It totally was. Not perfect but nicely ambitious and generally loads of fun. As always I wish that the show concentrated more firmly on Supergirl herself but it was great to have a greater concentration on both of Kara's identities this year.
Also, holy crap, how great is Jon Cryer as Lex Luthor?! He doesn't quite fit into the post-Crisis mould, which is still my favourite take on the character but if you're going to go cartoony, this is 100% the way to go. The whole Luthor "family meeting" was a twisted delight.
As for next year, I'm mostly sad that we won't be getting more of Red Daughter (she was way underused and, dodgy accent or no, Melissa Benoist was unsurprisingly great in the role) but there are some interesting tidbits set up for next season. I, for one, don't actually think that they're going to make Lena full-on evil - at least not in the long run - but it should make for some interesting conflict next season. I mean, it comes from a pretty cliche starting point but it still has loads of potential.
And Leviathan? I'm assuming that this will draw more from what Bendis is doing than Grant Morrison's Batman Inc. so it's interesting to see something so recently (re)introduced in the comics being adapted already. It's a cool concept if handled well.
All I know is that the Supergirl writers should have a long sit down with the Flash writers room to try and explain to them how you learn from your mistakes and greatly improve on some lackluster seasons.

Brainy was snapped back through the power of illogical decisions!
I liked this season, and Lockwood's son talking to the press was a good ending to all the alien tension. Wish there was more Red Daughter and less Elite (I liked Manchester Black, but the conclusion left me cold).
I wonder what this means for Kara's career as a journalist? I'm hoping she tells Lena about her identity ASAP like she was planning. That way Lena isn't stewing on it for months and months.
Lots of nice set ups for next season. The Monitor is quite busy! Hey, is that Ma'alefa'ak?
And yet this episode was named after the fourth movie.
This...could get messy.
Cryer has been great, although I could've done without him singing along to Frank Sinatra.
Mine too!!

That scene, and the part with Kick Start My Heart were my favorites in the episode.
Honestly surprised no one made a clip of it on youtube yet.
Agreed. Although I was kind of hoping (apologizes sounding too dark) that Agent Liberty had a change of heart and help out the heroes for a while (like in the comic books) then Red Daughter accidentally killing him.
Again, apologizes to sound too cruel, but I was afraid that the writers would let Alex adopt George. By the way, where is George living since his mother is dead and Agent Liberty in jail?
I think the producers took all the best writers from all of the Arrowverse shows, so they can work on the Crisis storyline.
Where's the Question to prove my theory?
Looks like it to me.
