Reports are flooding in...
from all around the world of people...
deteriorating.
Authorities now believe that two unknown Titans
battling in National City are the cause.
The more they battle, the more
hopeless the people of the world become.
It's like we're fading away.
I'm sorry. I...
I can't.
I tried to save Lex.
Mother, don't...
You need to save your energy.
I'm dying, Lena.
Don't talk like that.
It's okay.
I'm ready to go.
But I need to tell you something first.
I need to tell you that I knew.
I knew what your mother was.
I knew what you are.
You knew?
Your father was always happy around you.
Your light, your intuition.
I was afraid for you,
that your powers would lead you
down a similar path as your mother.
So I put talismans around the house
to stifle what I knew was burgeoning.
And pushed you towards science.
Over time, you forgot.
Your light diminished,
and you became a Luthor.
You can hate me, Lena,
but I was trying to help the family.
To help you.
And what?
With these dying words of this confession.
You want me to use that gift to save your precious Lex.
I want to set you free.
I've been watching while you worked.
Consternating over your book of spells.
You're not owning that power fully and you need to.
Forget about Lex.
Forget about what I wanted you to do.
And live your life the way you want to live it.
- Kara. - Do you have a plan?
I needed time to think.
To process everything that's happened.
See where I went wrong and...
suddenly it hit me.
My whole life as Supergirl has been
built on a premise that is deeply flawed.
What do you mean?
I've been driven by this idea that people need to be rescued.
That it was my job, my mission... to save them.
I've believed it was my calling to be... Earth's hero.
It's just so clear to me now.
We don't need to be heroes. We need to be partners.
And we need to actively empower every single person
to be the hero of their own life.
- That hits home, Kara. - And it's relevant to this crisis.
Lex and Nyxly are using their AllStone pieces,
to empower themselves by disempowering everybody else.
So then the reverse must be true.
If we empower the people, that will disempower Lex and Nyxly.
Given the rate people are de-saturating,
to drain the AllStones and stop Lex and Nyxly,
everyone in the world would need to feel empowered all at once.
I'll speak directly to the people.
We just need to find a way to get through to every individual.
Only a mass surge of emotion would be strong enough
to draw out the energy needed.
I've got it.
It's, uh...
my Legion crown.
It allows me to psychically communicate
anything I hear and see with...
as many people as necessary.
You can use it to project Supergirl's words into everybody's mind.
Yes, but unfortunately, I cannot
make them take in what she's saying.
People come with a lifetime of baggage.
It can take years for them to believe in themselves.
And for this plan to succeed, we need to find a way
around people's natural defense mechanisms.
I may have a way.
Lena.
She's gone.
I'm so sorry.
Me, too.
But I'm at peace.
I didn't get closure with my mom, but
I did with Lillian and so it's a gift.
I know a spell that will melt people's defenses,
and allow them to hear Supergirl's words with an open heart.
It won't last long but it'll be long enough.
The two Titans have just crashed into National City Terminal.
It seems like a good place to contain them while you get to work.
- Mind if I tag along? - Us, too.
I'll go get my supplies.
Aperto corpore, apertis mentis.
Whenever you're ready.
Animo, aperto corpore...
At this moment,
villains are tapping into your collective life force.
They're trying to siphon your truth, hope, courage,
Supergirl?
Dreams, your humanity.
They're trying to vanquish your destiny.
- They think that you're helpless. - Supergirl.
What they don't realize is that your power is innate.
It's always been within you.
I know there are so many factors that
can cause people to not feel their power
but I'm here to remind you
that none of those things hold a candle...
to the power every single one of you possesses within.
I thought I was supposed to save everyone.
But I see now,
there's only one way for this world to heal and flourish:
By all of us working together as a team.
When each of us contributes our unique gifts to the world
with a full heart, together, we will shine.
The power of one individual is enough to move mountains.
If we can all tap into the deepest truths of our soul,
and own our magnificence,
together, we will defeat the powers of darkness.
Together... we will be unstoppable.
Together...
we will create a better world.
It worked.
The AllStone's strength has dropped below 20%.
That mean Lex and Nyxly's powers dropped, too.
The people have taken their power back.
Now it's time for you to give up.
- You're jumping the gun, Kryptonian. - He's right.
In my dimension, we call this "just warming up."
Little 5th Dimensional for my taste.
I say "When in Rome, bring the gladiators."
Feel that?
The balance of power just shifted.
No touching without consent.
I ad regum somniorum!
Stop trying so hard, Supergirl.
You're gonna kill yourself.
Mon-El?
Your big speech made the history books.
Easy-peasy, fresh... and squeezy.
- Jimmy. - Happened to be in the neighborhood.
Take him, sis.
Vade retro ad regum somniorum.
You brought party crashers to fight my party crashers.
That is a punishable faux-pas.
Not by you.
Now, Brainy!
This is for Legion.
Now, a blast from the past.
Mom?
You'd think in another life I was a Kryptonian.
Only in the movies.
Mitch, right on time for once.
Incinerate them all.
I'm done with toxic relationships.
- What? - I'm with them now.
Oh, the two with the good hair. This should be fun.
No, all of us.
You two ready to give up?
Never.
The Imp is right.
It's always darkest before the dawn.
Or shall I say... the infinite night of the Phantom Zone?
Lex, what are you doing?
A single Phantom almost created hell on Earth.
Who knows what will happen with more?
Lex, don't be insane.
Close the portal now.
Once the portal's open, it can't be closed.
Time for everyone to run along.
Feel free to leave your pieces of the AllStone with me.
I'm not going anywhere.
Neither are we.
You can count us in, too.
Your funeral. Endless funeral.
Now.
Everyone, get ready!
No.
Lex. No!
Why aren't they attacking us?
Phantoms prey on fear.
And there's no greater cover for fear than hubris.
- No! - No!
No.
No!
No, no!
No!
Hubris.
He was an amazing man who lived by his convictions.
We'll hold him in our hearts forever.
Set up an award in his honor.
Hey, everybody.
I just got off the phone with the President and Secretary Brown.
They wanted to thank us for our
help with Lex and Nyxly the other day.
They were inspired by our victory...
And they want to reconstitute the DEO.
Booyah! Right?
He's right.
What? I'm from the future. I'm from the future.
By, uh, stopping Lex and Nyxly,
we proved that "extra-normal" doesn't
have to mean "extra-terrestrial."
They're giving us carte blanche to
reimagine the DEO however we see fit.
- Are you sure that's such a good idea? - That's what I was thinking.
The red tape,
the political infighting, and they got
in the way of a lot of important work.
I agree with both of you, but I think we should take the offer
because what we did with Lex and Nyxly was so important.
People all over the world were inspired
to empower themselves and each other.
But that wasn't an all-purpose
cure for the problems on this planet.
Good feelings don't last forever.
So we have to do the work every day.
We can't let this recent victory go to waste.
But if we do keep the fight up,
we can accomplish the best in all of us.
Not as vigilantes...
...periodisomo de William Dey.
...but as civil servants.
Not as superheroes...
but as friends.
Well, there's our ride.
So you are coming to the wedding, right?
Yes, of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world.
What about you?
You think you're gonna make it?
Uh...
Unfortunately, no. Um...
After Brainy merges with the Big Brain,
there's a whole lot on my plate with the Legion
- after that, so... - I see. Yes.
I actually don't think I'll ever be back in this lifetime.
Your speech the other day...
I don't know if you realize right now but...
it changed the course of our future.
Empowering everyone to be a hero of their own life.
You... you inspire us.
Always.
So you really can't stay?
Even just for the wedding?
I've already overstayed my welcome.
- The longer I remain in 2021... - The Big Brain is at risk.
You'll be in my dreams, Nia.
You've always been the girl of my dreams.
I love you, Nia Nal.
I love you, too.
- All right, Winn. - Okay.
- Mr. Manhunter. - Sir.
Miss Danvers.
And Danvers.
Let's go to our
field reporter with some breaking news.
Firefighters are at a loss at what to do with a cat
trapped in the branches of National City's oldest tree,
which extends higher than firefighters can reach right now.
Oh.
Hold on a moment.
It appears local business leaders have banded together,
to create a rope and pulley system,
and they're getting Howls, the British Shorthair down right now.
Okay, kitty, we're coming up to get you.
Here, kitty, kitty.
Hello?
Do you know who I despise, Ker-rah?
I despise people.
- All of them. I really do. - Ms. Grant?
People are not only destructive, selfish, they're just so stupid.
Ms. Grant, do you, uh...
No, no, uh-uh, ee.
I'm speaking.
Yup.
Do you know that 50% of the coral reefs are gone? Dead.
All because of stupid human behavior.
You want to know what's corroding the coral, Ker-rah? Sunscreen.
Fourteen thousand tons of it.
And that is such a dilemma.
I had no idea there was so much sunblock in the ocean.
That's terrible.
I really don't have any time to educate you right now, Ker-rah.
As we speak, there is a gorgeous sea turtle
being strangled by a large abandoned ghost net,
and I have to go rescue her with my bare hands, and...
Oh!
Edgardo. Edgardo. Afilla mi cuchillo.
- Por favor. - Si, si, senorita.
Gracias. Gracias.
Edgardo. I love Edgardo. He's my favorite divemaster.
I've been trying to learn Espanol for him but...
sigh, it's not going very well.
Where are you?
Nuqui, Colombia, the Pacific Coast. But you know, Ker-rah,
I cannot stand here I'm sorry, and chitchat. I am burning up.
I am wearing a wetsuit. I need to get in the water.
Ms. Grant, wait. Wait.
Was there a reason you called me?
Well, Ker-rah.
Yes. CatCo was for sale so I bought it.
You...
- You bought back CatCo? - Yes, I did.
Everything became clear.
I'm a reporter.
And there's no tool more powerful for change than the press.
So you and I, we're going to sound the alarm.
And, together, we are only going to report on what's essential.
Oh, right. I forgot to tell you.
I am hiring you as my new editor-in-chief.
And the contracts are in your inbox, and I'll be home in two weeks.
Okay. Okay, I gotta go. Adios.
- Edgardo. Edgardo, I'm ready. - Ms. Grant, that's...
Hello?
Hey. Sorry I'm late. The caterer broke her arms,
so we had to find a replacement at the last minute and...
The arrangements. Kara.
The flowers aren't done.
You realize that the wedding is in the morning, right?
Like, as in tomorrow?
Yes, I will super speed. They will get done, I promise.
Okay. What's going on?
Uh, well, Cat Grant called me.
Um, she bought CatCo back from Andrea.
- You're kidding? - Nope.
And she offered me a job.
As... editor-in-chief.
Kara, that's your dream job. I mean, I'm so excited for you.
I'm not gonna take it.
I'm not taking it.
Wait, wait, wait, wait. What? What? What am I missing here?
Ever since we defeated Lex and Nyxly and
started the work of empowering people,
I've been amazed at how you and all of our friends are flourishing.
You guys are living your dreams.
Somehow I feel...
deflated.
Accept Cat's offer.
Maybe that'll give you a sense of purpose.
Alex, I quit CatCo because my attention was split.
I was never able to really do my best
because I was always sneaking off to be Supergirl,
and that hasn't changed.
If anything, it's gonna be worse because
I will have much more responsibility now.
Your responsibilities as Supergirl have changed
because you're no longer shouldering that burden
of protecting the planet on your own.
Maybe there's a world where you can do both.
Doing both will always require me to
lie about who I am and where I'm going.
Who am I now?
Everybody is so empowered.
And I feel less powerful than ever.
Well, I wish that I could give you all the answers,
but unfortunately, you are the only one that can figure this out.
But I, for one,
I'm not worried.
Because you are amazing.
And every time you've come to a crossroad
you have always chosen the right path.
What would I do without you?
I know, but you are gonna find out quick
if you don't get these flower arrangements done stat.
Oh, scary!
Wow, look!
Did Grandpa J'onn do that?
Yes, he did. Isn't it so cool?
Oh!
You, Alexandra, you are a most radiant bride.
Thanks, Mom.
I know I made mistakes as a mother,
but you have already parented with more wisdom than I ever had.
I am so, so proud of you.
Thank you, Mom.
I love you.
Guys, I want hugs, too.
Me, too.
- Come here, of course. - So do I.
- I love you. - I love you.
- You're so beautiful. - You are. My girls.
- You look radiant. - Oh, come on.
No, no, no, I'm serious.
My baby sister has grown up to be such a woman of grace.
Alex and Esme are so lucky have you.
Okay, you're gonna make me cry.
Dad would be so proud of you.
Dad would be so proud of you, too.
Okay, all right. Come on.
I got something for you. As you know, not all heroes wear capes.
It's a signal watch, upgraded by Alex,
so we can watch each other's backs any time we need to.
Just, small caveat, Don't tell Mom
I gave that to you 'cause if you do,
she will make us portal in for dinner every single night,
and I can't take the tacos.
I love you.
I love you too, kiddo.
Excuse me, miss?
You don't happen to have a plus-one to this event, do you?
What are you doing here?
- What about the... - Space-time continuum?
The Big Brain? Yes, yes, these are valid concerns.
Logical concerns.
Sprock logic.
I love you, Nia.
I love you more than I've ever loved anything.
I've devoted my entire life to the pursuit of protecting people,
but when I returned to the future, I
realized that the pursuit felt hollow.
The most important thing to me is devoting myself to you.
But what about the future?
What if us being together does destroy the future?
That's the thing about the future.
It hasn't been written yet.

Wow. Just wow.
I have been waiting for this moment for...
a long, long time, ever since I met Alex and Kelly.
Now I know you're wondering how I would know this would happen.
I can assure you, I did not read their minds.
I didn't have to. It was obvious.
I've known Alex for quite some time.
And whilst I've always known her to be smart,
and dutiful, resourceful,
and a total badass,
I have always thought that there was something... missing.
Kelly is Alex's missing puzzle piece.
They complement each other.
In each other's company, they find balance.
And that balance...
at a foundational level...
is love.
And now I'd like to step back
and allow Kelly and Alex to say exactly how they feel.
Alex... you have been my person
and my rock and my voice of reason.
And occasionally, my beloved agent of chaos.
- Yeah! - Over the last two years,
I wish I could say that I always knew it was you,
but I didn't know until recently.
When you came home,
and you found me distraught and heartbroken,
and you didn't try to fix me.
You didn't try to put me back together again.
You were just there to hold me.
And that's when I knew, beyond any doubt,
that I couldn't live another day without you.
So I vow to be that person for you.
Someone who is there for you when you need me.
I vow to hold space for you, for our love,
for our family, and for our future.
I spent so long living this inauthentic
life that I forgot who I was.
It took a long time to figure out myself,
but I was never really, truly me...
until I found you.
You are my truth, Kelly.
And you and Esme...
have created a life for me that I not only never dreamt
would be possible three years ago.
So I promise to show you the love that you've shown me.
And I promise to always, always
acknowledge the abundance in our
lives and to never take it for granted,
never take you for granted, as I'm yours, always.
I now pronounce you wife and wife.
- We're married! - Yeah.
Come here.
All these birdhouses are so pretty. Who made them?
- We did! Me and Aunt Kara! - We've been working on it as a surprise.
- It's a lovebird theme! - Oh, thank you, my baby bird.
Ohh.
It's amazing to see Alex so buoyant.
God, you remember how she used to terrify me?
Her death stare while interrogating prisoners at the DEO.
The endless foot chases, the amounts
of glass on the floor at the DEO.
You know, hopefully the new one
will be a beacon of peace, not violence.
It will be.
At least, that's what, uh, yours and M'gann's son tells us.
- Papa bear. - My son?
Uncle Jimmy, Uncle Jimmy, I made
you a special birdhouse, just for you.
I knew you were some kind of an
artist. This is amazing, thank you.
You really like it?
Anyone who doesn't like a hand-painted
birdhouse, they don't have a heart, okay?
And I have a gift for you.
Your grandfather had a camera just like this.
And he gave it to me.
And I figured I would continue the tradition.
I love it. And I love you.
I love you, too.
Now, let's show you how to take a real picture.
So I have to say, this is the best wedding I've ever been to.
It kind of is, isn't it?
It's 'cause we have friends that
love us, friends that are like family.
Which brings us to what we wanted to discuss with you.
I know. You want to adopt me, right?
Well, it's something like that, but, um, in reverse.
We would, um, we would really
love for you to be Esme's godmother.
I was just happy being the really
cool aunt but yes, yes, of course!
- I love you. - We love you.
You guys.
Oh, and Mxy sends his regards from the 5th Dimension.
- He pops by the Legion now and then. - Ha!
For the wedding, actually he said that
he's going to give Alex and Kelly one free wish...
- No way. - Worth $40 or less.
Oh, my God.
I miss you guys. I miss the three of us together.
The O.G. Super Friends.
- Yeah. - Yeah.
Remember that room in that CatCo
where we used to hide from Ms. Grant
so she didn't know what we're doing?
- Yes, with the drywall. - Yeah.
I learned about the multiverse in that room, guys.
- So did we. - I did, too. Yeah.
Man, I was Cat Grant's I.T. guy, can you believe?
And then you two walk in and suddenly change everything.
There I was, fighting bad guys and making some super suits.
You make a good suit.
Thank you. What I'm saying is that...
I mean, look at us. We've come so far since then.
I figured out what I really wanted in life.
Hey, guys, come on. You're missing out.
Come on.
Uh-oh!
Oh, yeah. This is a great song.
- Ms. Grant. - Ker-rah, hello.
Are you in the hospital? Are you in traction?
- What? No. - Well, you haven't signed your contract
so what other explanation can there be?
- Yeah, about that I'm... - Oh, no. No, no, no.
Don't tell me you're stuck.
- Yes, I... - Well, Ker-rah,
even environmental crusaders take a day off.
Perhaps that's why you're having another personal crisis.
Because you never take a break.
No, no, it's not that. It's...
I don't know how to explain.
Well, you're a grown-up now, Ker-rah.
Use your words. Happy face, sad face.
Get in touch with your feelings. Give it a whirl.
I guess I just never felt whole.
I have... I have different sides to myself.
Kind of like two different people,
but the two parts of me just...
They don't really go together.
Actually, I'm at my sister's wedding right now,
and her life is just blossoming.
She's fully at home with who she is,
and what she stands for, and it's amazing. You can feel it.
- I just feel... - Bifurcated?
Yes.
Inauthentic?
Well, yeah.
You know, it reminds me of a quote from an old English lord.
"Secrecy is the badge of fraud."
And he should know, by the way,
because he used to feed his hunting dogs
these little baby foxes for lunch.
He was a monster. But nevertheless, there is no mystery here.
- What do you mean? - That it doesn't take Freud to see
that you have a secret and it's obstructing your life.
And it's not serving you anymore, so screw it.
Not that simple, Ms. Grant. You can't understand. I don't...
Oh. You're Supergirl.
La-di-da.
You...
You knew?
Please, those spectacles disguised you
as much as a pair of Groucho Marx glasses,
and you should have just added the
bushy eyebrows and the moustache.
Well, I heard your speech here, in Colombia.
Well... "Supergirl's" speech.
And "Supergirl" told the people
that they should become empowered and
that they should take care of themselves.
And I'm wondering why that message doesn't apply to toi?
You have a good point.
Oh, Ker-rah, I always have a point.
Now, let's take a look at everything
that Supergirl and Kara Danvers have accomplished separately.
And then let's imagine what you could do
if you became one integrated, authentic being.
I don't know if I'm ready.
Ker-rah, you need to stop making excuses,
and you need to decide what your course will be.
Now, there is important work to
be done, and I hope you'll join me.
But more than that, I hope that you
will choose to become your full self,
because that would really be something to see.
And it would be interesting because this is boring.
Thank you, Ms. Grant.
I really needed to hear that.
I believe in you, I always have.
Here we go.
- One, two... - Go!
- Got it! - Yes!
Hey!
That bouquet looks good on you, even
if it did involve a little cheating.
I prefer to call it initiative.
Looks like you're next, Brainy.
Oh, yes. By my calculations,
there's a 100% chance Nia and I will be getting married.
- Hey, you. - Hey.
Where'd you go? You missed all the fun. Nia caught the bouquet.
Hey, did you fly away to rescue some people?
No rest? Even on your sister's wedding day?
Hey, what's wrong?
I'm supposed to be the strongest person on earth,
but I think I'm actually the weakest.
- What are you talking about? - Ms. Grant...
My glasses...
I give speeches inspiring people to live their best lives.
But she's right. I am too afraid to live my own.
- No, that's not true, Kara. - It is.
My entire life, I've hid behind these glasses.
It's gotten in the way of every job I've ever had,
everything I've ever wanted to do,
every relationship, every friendship.
Maybe we did have a bit of a bumpy road.
I think hiding who I am is the reason
I couldn't pass the courage Gauntlet.
I created Supergirl that night
because the thought of saving my
sister as myself was too terrifying.
Look, you've had your entire life,
people telling you who you're supposed to be
and that if you didn't hide your true
self then the people would get hurt.
I mean, it's tough to move beyond those type of core wounds.
When Lillian told me she basically programmed the magic
out of me as a child, I felt devastated.
But I was devastated because I realized
I didn't have a chance to grow up
to be the person I was supposed to be.
And I think it's the same for you.
For me, it was always about protecting the Luthor name.
You know, I went from trying to make
that name stand for something good
to try to be my true mother's daughter.
My life was always framed by someone else.
It wasn't until Lillian told me the truth
that I realized I haven't been living my own life.
And finally, now I am.
And it feels amazing.
I don't even know what that would feel like for me.
Connecting with someone as my whole self.
To not be afraid to just be who I am.
It sounds like it could be empowering.
But what if I let myself just be who I am and someone gets hurt?
You can't always be our savior, Kara.
You shine your light and inspire others to shine theirs.
Your words, not mine.
If somebody does come,
if they try to mess with this family,
then we will take them on together.
El mayarah.
Hey, hey. It's okay.
Of all the friends I have ever had,
you have pushed me the most, challenged me the most.
You've made me a better person. Thank you.
Kara, Lena, come on!
- You okay? - Yeah, I'm fine.
- They're leaving. - Bye.
- Bye, Esme. - Bye, pumpkin
- Be good. - Be good.
- Look at that one. - Aw!
Love you, guys.
Bye!
- We're out of here. - Bye, you guys.
- Bye, Esme! - Bye! See you.
All right, here we go.
- Okay, okay. Don't worry. - Wait, wait!
I think I got it. I got it!
To Our Next Adventure.
No. It's The Adventures of Tintin.
In Kara's defense, that was bad.
Maybe I just said that because the last six years with all of you
have been the greatest adventure I ever could have imagined.
And I just can't wait for the next one.
Well, if you think getting sappy on us
is going to let us go any easier on you,
then you've got another thing coming, so.
- She's ruthless and drunk. - Cheers to that, girl.
Cheers!
Hello, National City.
