Previously on
Supergirl...

I'm so sorry I couldn't be the Keeper
of the Sacred Symbols, Father.

H'ronmeer gave us
the Symbols

in the heart of the Desert of T'ozz.

I could return them there.

This is more than PTSD.
We have to talk to Lena.

Our great nation
was attacked by Supergirl.

I am hereby enacting martial law.

And, Supergirl, if you are watching,
you are now public enemy number one.

I am doing more harm
than good right now.

What do they say?
"The pen is mightier than the sword."

Maybe even mightier than a cape.

Go home, alien! It's after dark.

Open the door, alien.

What was that?

Supergirl?

- Howdy, boys.
- Who are you?

I'm your worst nightmare.

Sweet dreams.

Get out of there, Dreamer.

A DEO van is headed your way.

This place is about to be swarming
with Lockwood's men.

We are only days into martial law

and already
people are catching wind of you.

We must be strategic.

- Brainy, are you worried about me?
- Yes.

The repeal of Alien Amnesty
has left us all vulnerable.

Ben Lockwood is out there

rounding up aliens
he believes have anti-human leanings.

And masked vigilantes
are target number one.

Well, someone has to
protect innocent people.

With Supergirl lying low,
we have to pick up the cape.

You know, you could always blue-green up
and join me out there.

Without Supergirl,
there is a 63.6% chance

that you and I will be apprehended.

If we are not smart and careful...

If you'll excuse me...

Seriously?

You were a hologram the whole time?

We'll have to continue this spat later.

Oh, but wait...

Heart rate is 186, his ICP at 22 mil,
and his BP is 160 over 30 and rising.

EKG now erratic.

Pardon me for stating the obvious,

but I do not believe
the extraction process is working.

You're pulling plasma, not Harun-El.

And you're exacerbating his symptoms.

It's okay.

Keep going.

Okay, okay.

I'm... I'm fine.

I'm sorry, I thought this would work.

I took this AmerTek technology
straight from Lex's cell,

and I followed the extraction plans
from Eve's lab exactly.

In the interest of science,

was that super-hearing
you just experienced?

Super-hearing now, too?

It seems every panic attack
is bringing out a new ability.

I will fix this.

I just need to better understand this.

That's gonna take time.

- We need another strategy.
- Yeah.

Well, luckily for James,
I am adept at strategies.

Have you ever heard of a mind palace?

"James, here's the black budget
you asked for.

As discussed, everything is in order
and above board. Eve."

Oh. Shoot.

Edna, if you get caught
changing alien personnel records,

AmerTek might do more
than just fire you.

Just be careful.

Were you just talking to
someone that works at AmerTek?

My sister.

Well, I'm working on an article
to expose Lex Luthor,

and I know AmerTek was involved.

Do you think your sister would be
willing to talk to me?

I... I don't know.

Franklin, did you sleep here?

Lockwood and his men raided the building
across the street from mine.

I am so sorry.

Me, too.

But that is why this is so important
for us to put a stop to.

Have your sister call me?

Thanks, Franklin.

Kara.

Uh?

Franklin is afraid to go home.

Don't you think that maybe...

It's time for you
to rejoin the super friends?

Nia, don't you think I wish I could?

But look what people are saying.

Exposing Lex is the only way
I can help right now.

And when I do,
it will clear Supergirl's name,

and I can get back out there with you
and help people.

Okay.

No, you're right. Uh, you stay on Lex.

But I'm gonna watch the streets.

Someone needs to make Lockwood
go nighty-night-night.

A mind palace is a hyperreal,
interactive space in James' mind.

This device taps into
James' temporal lobe,

allowing me to map out his memories.

Everything he experiences
will be real and true.

If James is able to identify
and face his core trauma,

he may be able to manage the attacks.

Do we know why the Harun-El
is making the attacks worse?

Lena's drug was designed
to attack illness.

In this case, it was focused
on the PTSD,

heightening what would normally be
just a panic attack.

And since the drug
also gives you super powers,

the attacks were causing the powers
to be uncontrollable.

So you're saying
even if I'm able to manage the symptoms,

- I'm still going to have super powers?
- Yes.

But you'll be able to control them.

Now, shall we jump in?

Let's do this.

- Let's go!
- He's not an anti-human conspirator!

- Let's go!
- He didn't do anything! He's innocent!

Open the door.

Please. He's a good man.

If he were a man,
we wouldn't be in this situation.

Now, don't make a scene.

Your children,
they just lost their father.

I would hate to see them
lose their mother, too.

Um...

They look so human, I...
Sometimes I forget.

Yeah, it's a lot easier

when there's a snake coming out
of the back of their head.

We can't humanize them, son.

So remember, don't ever mistake them

for anything but the roaches
that they are.

Hey, Marcus,
would you come over here for a second?

Excellent work.

Sir, would you, uh...

I was thinking maybe you could take
George along for the rest of your shift.

He's still gaining a stomach
for what we're doing.

Great. Let's go.

Thank you. Have a good one.

Oh, my purse! Stop! Help!

Oh, I'm so sorry.

I'm such a klutz. I feel so bad.

Get up, come on.

I'm sorry.

Kara Danvers?

- I'm Franklin's sister.
- Edna?

Things at AmerTek are bad.

Really bad.

I even heard a rumor they're installing
alien detection devices

on the entrances next week.

Has AmerTek done business
with Lex Luthor

or any of his associates
in the past 18 months?

I'm in HR.

Can you get me access to those records?

Look, I want these guys taken down.

But they are rounding up aliens,

and my actions could put
my friends and family in danger.

Edna, I know it's scary right now.

But Franklin told me
how brave you've been.

Taking the personnel files
of the aliens in your office.

What's happening is wrong,

but the only way we can stop it

is by exposing the people
that are committing these crimes.

Can you help me?

Hey, thank you for being here.

It means a lot.

There's no place I would rather be.

There is an 86.7% chance
that your core trauma

has something to do with Lex Luthor,

so we shall start
by exploring that region.

Are we all ready to begin?

Mmm.

Good.

I'm at the Daily Planet?

Welcome to level one.

This is right after I met Superman.

The first time Lex kidnapped me.

No, no, no, wait, wait, wait. That...

This is something wrong.
This is not how it happened that day.

The memories are folding in
on one another.

Who are they? Who are you?

Brainy, what is going on in there?

That's me.

What happened?

I saw Dad.

How much longer is this gonna take?

Not long.

A military base in Rubniu?

Who's Sebastian Melmoth?

I researched all the AmerTek executives,
I never saw his name.

You're in HR,
could you get me his employment records?

Those servers require
my personal PIN number.

They'd know it was me.

Someone's coming.

Is there a light on
in the records room?

- No one requested access.
- We have to hide.

Hey, who's in there?

- The door's frozen shut.
- Must be an HVAC problem.

I'll get maintenance
to open the door.

Hey, it's okay. It's okay.

I'm sorry,

but you don't know
what it's like to walk around

with a target on your back
just because of what you are.

I can't go on the record.
I can't do this.

Begin Harun-El extraction trial 7.5.

Object is at 180 BPM.

Device is set to 350 megahertz.

Mark five tumors emerging.

Heart volume expanding to 30%.

By George, I think we've got it.

We just stumbled upon
your core trauma, James.

And, surprisingly,
it isn't a Lex Luthor murder attempt.

It's your father's death.

Brainy, you said that
whatever I saw in your mind palace

was going to be based on real memories.

Now, I wasn't at our father's funeral.

Yes, you were.

Incontrovertibly.

No, Brainy, he wasn't.

I was alone.
That is not something you forget.

Consider the possibility
that James was there,

and you, Kelly, did not see him.

I was across the street at a diner.

I got locked in the bathroom,
and nobody could hear me.

By the time the manager
opened up the door, his funeral...

His funeral was over.

Perhaps that is merely
a picture of the truth

that got framed and hung in your mind.

An excuse you invented that
over time even you came to believe.

The mind will play tricks
to protect itself.

Think of memories like a watercolor.

While you're painting,
the colors blend into each other

without clear borders
until they grow opaque.

Once the painting dries
and the picture is set...

Yeah, I'm sorry. I need a break.

Was it my metaphor?

Hey, uh...

Look, I know how hard it is
to see a sibling in pain.

But you... You have to know

that Brainy and I are not going to
let anything happen to James.

It's... It's not that.

The memories are triggering for me.

You mean James at your dad's funeral?

James wasn't at the funeral, Alex.

I was eight.

And it was the worst day of my life.

My dad was dead,

and my mom was so distraught
that my aunts had to hold her up.

I was scared that
she was gonna die, too.

James swore to me
that he would be by my side.

That everything was gonna be okay

because we were going
to face it together.

He disappeared before the service.

And I sat there...

Alone...

Tears streaming down my face,
staring at the door,

waiting for my big brother
to walk in and make everything...

Make everything okay.

He never showed up.

- Where was he?
- I don't know.

I don't know where he really was.

And, look, I get it, he was a kid, too.

But it is not a day
that I am aching to relive.

I understand.

You know, you and I are a lot alike.

We're really good at
taking care of other people,

but not so good at
taking care of ourselves.

You don't have to do this.

I can stay by James' side for you.

I, um...

I actually... I think I can do it.

Thank you.

Sebastian Melmoth.

Who are you?

And why were you buying property

in the nonexistent land of Rubniu
in October?

Lena.

- Hello?
- Kara.

- What a surprise.
- Yeah, your new assistant let me in.

She seems nice.

Let's hope she doesn't
stab me in the back.

Yeah, I'm... I'm so sorry about
what Eve did to you.

- Thanks.
- That's actually why I'm here. Uh...

I'm writing an article about Lex.

I want to expose him.

I want to take him down
and put an end to all of this.

An exposé on Lex.

That's quite an Everest.

Uh, there was actually something
I was hoping you could answer.

Has L-Corp done business with AmerTek?

- Maybe on a... A military project?
- No, of course not.

Look, I'm sorry, I can't help you
with this right now. I'm...

I'm trying to help James.

You know, Alex is here.

You haven't been around.

Supergirl's been there for me,

a person who judges me
on the very premise of my last name,

but my best friend hasn't.

Lena, I'm... I'm sorry.

I was...

I was trying to catch Lex for you.
That's why I'm doing this.

Of course, I care about how you feel.

You just care about me a little less
than you do as a source for your story.

No. No, it's not like that.

I wish I could explain, but...

But maybe it's better if I just go.

In there, before someone sees.

Isn't it past your bedtime?

What's going on here?

AI's letting us use the bar
as an alien refuge.

I don't know how to make my bed.

Can you help me, please?

Alien Affairs.

You are all in violation
and under arrest.

What do you mean, under arrest?
We haven't done nothin' wrong.

Under martial law,
aliens cannot gather after curfew.

Get 'em to the van.

You're gonna have to
go through this reverie first.

Have it your way.

- Get out of here.
- Get 'em!

I got the kid.

- Charlie?
- George, please, don't take me in.

You're an alien? Why didn't you tell me?

Why do you think?

Fall back!

You're safe now.

Safe?

They didn't get us today,
but they'll be back.

We're aliens. Nowhere is safe.

I know that crease in your brow.

Sweetie, tell me what's wrong.

It... It's just...

Do you ever wonder about, um,
like, Dad's policies?

You know, like maybe
we're doing this wrong?

Of course not, George.

Your dad is saving this country.

And the raid at the bar
didn't go as planned,

but you helped smoke those roaches
out of their hole,

and your father is so proud of you.

Nia.

What is it?

AI's Dive Bar.

He's been using it
as a shelter for aliens,

and Lockwood's goons just crashed it.

I stopped them, but...

The people there still felt so hopeless.

And I want to do more to help them,

I just don't know what else I can do.

I know exactly how you feel.

I've been so myopic,
I think I've made things worse.

I made Franklin's sister more afraid,

and not to mention
I've been a terrible friend to Lena.

How have you been a terrible friend?

You've been lockstep
ever since Lex escaped.

That was Supergirl.

Right.

God, it just sucks out there.

I wish we could do your
"Aliens of National City" story

with every alien.

Then the humans would know that
they don't need to be afraid of them.

Maybe they just need
to get to know one alien.

How do you mean?

Nia... Nia!

You and I have been so focused
on fighting and reporting,

that maybe, maybe we forgot
the most important part of being a hero

is inspiring hope.

So, Supergirl's coming back?

The world doesn't need to hear
from Supergirl right now.

They need a hero

who can speak to the conflict
society is struggling with.

Someone who is both alien and human.

Someone who can bring them together.

- How?
- I want to interview you.

An exclusive.

I want to introduce the world
to Dreamer.

I know this
is challenging, James,

but I'll be with you
every step of the way.

- It's the day of the funeral.
- Looks like you're early.

I remember wearing that suit.

I love you, Dad.

I promise, I will spend my life
making you proud.

You can't be in here.
The funeral hasn't started yet.

There he is. We've been waiting for you,
daddy's boy.

I remember them.

Billy New and Brandon Palmer.

They taunted me, took my lunch money.

My dad was a soldier. Have some respect.

Let's say we show him some respect.

Let me go!

No, don't do it. Don't do this.

His vitals are spiking.

Push through the memory.

My connection is lost.
I can't reach him.

Kelly, I fear James' mind has merged
with his younger self.

You were there, you could tether him.
Will you go in?

No. No, no, no, I... I can't.

He needs guidance. He will recognize you
as his young sister.

No, Brainy. It's too much to ask of her.

Okay, there has to be another way.

I'll do it.

James, please, can you let me in?

James?

Kelly, I can hear you.

You got to get me out of here.
I can't... I can't see this.

I'm here. James, I'm here with you.

Wait, that's you?

You weren't at the diner?

You were trapped down here?

Those boys did this to you?

James?

James, where are you?

Oh, my God, that's my voice.

I'm down here, Kelly!

- Help!
- I was looking for you.

Your dead daddy can't save you.
Do you think your baby sister can?

Pathetic loser.

I must have pushed the shame of this

and the memory so far down...

I forgot.

I've told that diner story
so many times, I believe it.

I wanted to be there, Kelly.

I wanted to be.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

It's okay.

It's not your fault.

You can change this narrative.

Fight back.

Come on.

James, you did it.

You're gonna be great.

You ready?

As I'll ever be.

Okay.

I haven't figured out
the extraction yet, Brainy.

That's why I came up.

Urgency is no longer required.

James has successfully completed
his mind palace.

With his trauma unblocked,

the Harun-El seems to have
stopped attacking his PTSD

and has regulated throughout his body.

His long-term prognosis
with your drug in his system... is good.

Good evening. This is Kara Danvers
with CatCo Media,

and this is a worldwide exclusive.

I'm here with a hero
who has been fighting in the shadows.

This is Dreamer.

My first question, who are you?

I am Dreamer.

And I am a descendant
of a daughter of Naltor.

When did you come here from Naltor?

I didn't. I was born here in America.

- I grew up in an idyllic town where...
- Shut this off.

I can't, someone hacked the system.

Humans and aliens
lived together in harmony.

My mother was Naltorian,
but my father was a human.

So, you are both human and alien?

Yes.

My parents believed that
humans and aliens could coexist.

And I am living proof of that.

But growing up wasn't easy.

I am also a trans woman.

I'm different, Miss Danvers,
but so is everybody.

And I don't know
when that became such a bad thing.

The greatest gift we can give each other
is our authentic selves.

And sharing that,

sharing our truth
is what will make us strong.

So here I am.

I am both human and alien.

And I am a trans woman.

S'mores are my favorite dessert.

But I will always choose
salty over sweet.

I broke my nose when I was 15
during a game of kickball.

My mother was my heart.

And since I lost her,

it's felt like a piece of me is missing.

But my father is my spine.

I am a Gryffindor.

Uh, my Patronus
is a Dapple Grey Stallion.

I'm an INFP.

A Miranda.

House Stark.

I love Thursdays and April.

And nerdy boys who think too much.

And I am proud of all that I am.

You should be.

What does love feel like?

Are you afraid of
how the world will react to you,

now that they know you're an alien?

Of course.

But you know what else? Fear sucks.

It sucks, and I am so sick
of feeling hopeless.

Dawn doesn't come unless we want it to.

But we don't have to wait for a new day.
We are the new day.

- Yes!
- Yes!

Your mother would be so proud of you.

Oh, my.

You're leaking.

I always considered myself
strong. Brave.

But to share yourself like that, I...

If I am understanding
Dreamer's words correctly,

none of us should be afraid
of who we are.

Nor should we fear sharing that.

I feel so paralyzed right now,
because I'm not able to...

I'm not able to move forward.

I can't find Lex.

I can't fix James.

I understand...

That you have been betrayed
by many people in your life, Lena.

I know that feeling, too.

But if you want to be trusted
and accepted,

then you must also trust.

It will be risky,

but I can tell you
that if you close all doors,

you will have a 99.9% chance of sorrow.

I want this Dreamer detained, now.

Let's go.

I can't get ahold of Kara.
Lockwood is heading to CatCo.

I gotta get her and Dreamer
out of there.

Wait, you're going to be court-martialed
if you try to stop Lockwood.

They cannot catch us
if they cannot see us.

So, tell me later.

- Okay.
- Great job, guys.

- Thanks.
- Thanks, Franklin.

Alien Affairs! On the ground!

- Don't you move.
- Stay where you are.

Dreamer!

You are under arrest

for using an illegal,
seditious broadcast to incite violence.

You're the only one inciting violence.
We're unarmed.

This will be easy, then.

Ready, Brainy.

Where is she?
Find her and detain her.

You're here.

As a wise woman once said, "Fear sucks."

So let's kick fear's ass.

Franklin, you saved me!

- I did?
- Yeah. Let's take cover.

- Yeah. Okay.
- Yeah.

We should get out of here.

Getting caught also sucks.

Dreamer!

You're coming with me.

Get out of CatCo. Now.

Not without the alien.

What alien?

All I see are journalists exercising
their right to freedom of speech

and doing their duty to
uphold freedom of press.

So, unless you're going to
rewrite the Constitution...

Get out, now!

I don't know what happened to you

or how you did this,

but I'll find out.

Come on!

Oh, and I will find... this Dreamer.

Kara?

Edna?

I saw the Dreamer broadcast last night.

It was inspiring.

I realized you were right.

The only way we can stop any of this
is by exposing these people.

I have something for you.

I thought maybe these could help.

These are the acquisition papers
for that military base.

But they'll know it was you.
What about your job?

I don't care.

In fact, if you need
an AmerTek whistleblower,

I'm willing to go on the record.

That's...

That's very brave of you.

You ready, sis?

Thank you, Edna.

Truly.

I'm sorry I was
so short with you.

You... You were just trying
to do your job.

Friendship is the most important job.

And I was so focused on my article,
I forgot what really matters.

No, Kara.

The truth is, even if you had been
standing right next to me

when Lex escaped,

I really wouldn't have
let you be there for me.

What do you mean? Why?

Because I'm the one
that's keeping secrets.

Eve wasn't the only one
working with Lex.

I was working with him, too.

He contacted me four months ago.

He knew I had the Harun-El.

He had cancer, and he was afraid to die.

He's my brother.

And in my heart, I knew he was
manipulating me, but... I believed him.

And I helped him, and he betrayed me.

And I was weak, and I will never
forgive myself for that.

I could only imagine
what you think of me, Kara.

- I don't blame you.
- No, no, no.

You are not weak.

You are a brilliant, kindhearted,
beautiful soul.

Your brother asked you for help,

and in life-and-death situations,
you help family.

No one can judge you for that.

I'm so sorry you felt like
you couldn't tell me.

I am so sorry.

Thank you.

I really want to help you
with your investigation with Lex.

So, Sebastian Melmoth
withdrew $5.8 billion

from L-Corp on October 10th.

The same day AmerTek paid $5.8 billion
for a missile base in Rubniu.

Coincidence?

- No, I don't believe in them.
- Mmm.

More likely, our mystery man took
the money he withdrew from L-Corp

and paid for the missile base
using AmerTek as a smoke screen.

So, who is Sebastian Melmoth,
and where the hell is Rubniu?

That nostalgic bastard.

When Lex was 13,
he read the entire works of Oscar Wilde,

and for weeks he had us call him
by Oscar Wilde's pseudonym,

"Sebastian Melmoth."

Are we saying that
Lex Luthor bought a missile base?

No, but not in Rubniu. Lex loves codes,
so Sebastian loves codes.

It's a double-breasted,
interrupted-key cipher.

It's Lex's favorite.

Guess we're going to Kaznia.

No.

No, no, no.

Lydia! No.

No, no. Sweetheart.

No.

No.

No!

Father.

You have done well, my son.

Go home now. Join your family.
