Previously on Supergirl...

The Phantoms attack with Fear Visions.

Use grounding techniques.

You start by naming things
that you know are real.

Without my mom,
all I have are questions.

Like there's a whole part of
yourself you'll never understand?

You are Alex Danvers.
Remember what's real.

[GASPS]

Kelpies are a myth. Mother.

You are free of the Phantom's
powers. You all did it!

I was naive to think that I
could ever actually fix anything.

You fixed me.

That's my family. They're really here!

Eagle One, the package is in hand.

[LENA OVER COMMS] Return
to the Tower, immediately.

The Golden Sleeper is stirring.

[MAN] Hey, buddy, what are you doing?

[CAR HONKING]

- Am I late?
- Thank you.

- Did I miss it?
- No, you're right on time.

[NIA] The cake is intact.

Where's Supergirl?

She's still under the sun lamps.

Getting through the Phantom Zone

to the Tower last night
took all her strength.

You told me the clock was ticking.

Uh...

Uh... we thought you'd eat the cake.

You thought I would eat the cake?

What am I? An animal? I would never!

I want things to be perfect
for when Supergirl wakes up.

[J'ONN J'ONZZ] Let's not rush her.

Hopefully, she's having the first
restful night she's had in a while.

[SCREAMING]

[GASPS]

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

It was just a nightmare, okay?

It was so dark and horrible.

Was it about the Phantom Zone?

[PANTING] I don't...
I don't want to talk about it.

No, no, no,
y-y-you don't have to, okay?

It's, it's all over.
We've got you. I've got you.

[EXHALES]

It's all behind us now.

Good.

Oh, 'cause I don't think I ever wanna

hear the word "Phantom" ever again.

[EXHALES] Not in an opera,
not in a Star Wars prequel.

Especially, not in a Star Wars prequel.

I don't even think I could handle
an episode of Scooby-Do right now.

It's...

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

I'm sorry.

[SIGHS] It's so good to have you home.

Now, uh, come on. You've got
some folks that are waiting to see you.

- Alex?
- Yeah?

- Can I have another hug, please?
- Always.

♪ Look up Do you see the sunlight... ♪

[PEOPLE CHEERING, APPLAUDING]

[J'ONN J'ONZZ] Welcome home, Kara.

[BRAINY] Hey.

I don't know what we'd have
done if we hadn't got you back.

[SNIFFLES]

Oh, Brainy.

The feelings I had, thinking we
might not ever see you again...

I'm glad I don't have to
feel that anymore.

Well, um, apologies from Kelly,
she really wishes she could be here,

but she had a full day of
orientation at Social Services.

It's okay.

There she is.

Father.

- How long have you been awake?
- Not long.

Just long enough to try out
the perks of your yellow sun.

A man can get used to flying.

Oh, wait until I teach you
how to use your heat vision.

- Cold coffee? Not anymore.
- [PEOPLE CHUCKLE]

I also had a minute
to check out this headquarters.

Very Impressive, J'onn.

The technology here
dwarfs what we had on Krypton.

- Hmm.
- We could have used a man like you.

Thank you. We're lucky enough to draw
on a variety of alien technology here.

I am eternally grateful.

My daughter has such smart,
innovative, heroic friends.

I am in your debt.

- I'm just glad we found each other.
- It really is a miracle.

Not many people get to reunite
with lost loved ones after so long.

And in the Phantom Zone, no less.

Uh, Zor-El, I'm sure
that Alura would be

overjoyed to know
that you're still alive.

Yes, you must be anxious
to get back to Argo City.

I am, of course.

But before I go,

I'd like to see what my daughter's
been up to here on Earth.

I think that can be arranged.

[PEOPLE SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY]

[KARA] Okay, so, remember,

you are my Uncle Archie,
visiting from Midvale. Okay.

Don't worry. I promise no one
will even know I'm there.

I'm starting to understand my strength.

I'm, I'm sorry about your door.

No, no. It's not that, I'm just...

I'm just nervous, you know?

I disappeared without a trace,

I'm surprised I still even have a job.

And William, I left him hanging
without so much as a good bye.

Oh. Don't worry about him,

it's not like you chose to get...

He'll understand.

And don't worry about Andrea,
okay? I covered for you, remember?

Right. Uh, what did you
tell her exactly?

That Cat Grant reached out
to you personally

to do a profile on Darien
resistance leader Miguel de Miranda.

Okay.

And that you've been off-grid,
imbedded with him.

- Wait, what?
- [ELEVATOR DINGS]

[WHISPERING] It was
the best I could do.

- I was...
- Hi. Andrea, good morning. Um...

Coffee cart. Best part of CatCo.

Come on, Uncle Archie. Bye, Kara.

- Hi, Andrea.
- Kara Danvers. Welcome back.

- Thank you.
- Nia told me what you've been cooking up,

- and well, I smell another Pulitzer.
- Oh.

And that's gonna be great for business.

I can't wait to read it immediately.

Well, uh, I'm not
exactly done with it yet.

Of course. End of the day, then.

That's the weird thing, though.
There is no story.

- What?
- Yeah, Mirando...

[CLEARS THROAT]
Miranda changed his mind...

at the last minute.

He said he would
take everything off the record,

he would deny everything.

The funny thing about
these resistance leaders,

they think they want fame, but
their lives depend on secrecy.

- You know, it's...
- Well, that is disappointing.

Kara, you're late
for the staff meeting.

[EXHALES]

Uncle Archie insisted on reading
all your old articles. It's adorable.

[ANDREA] Good, we're all here. Finally.

Can anyone tell me what this is?

It's the current
media tracker's latest ranking

of the top ten news outlets
in the country.

[ANDREA] Yes.
And CatCo is number eight.

Number eight!

Does anybody know
what else ranked number eight?

No, you don't.

Because no one ever
remembers number eight.

Look, I know
that our reputation took a hit

after our little slip-up
covering the Lex Luthor trial...

but we must do better.

CatCo had the tradition
of being the go-to news source.

Trusted and respected.
We need more breaking news.

More hard-hitting journalism.

We must rebuild.
Find new sources, dig deeper.

We will be number one by the
end of next month's ranking...

or I will get a new staff.

Am I clear?

Good. Now, back to work.

Kara.

I have been shockingly patient
with your long absence,

which resulted in exactly
zero stories, so, you owe me.

I want you to call Supergirl.

I want an exclusive with her

about how she stopped the
National City Phantom attacks.

The... the what?

The Phantom attacks.
And I want a whole series.

Interviews with Supergirl and
everyone who was turned into a Phantom.

Here's a list of the victims,
and I want all the details.

Don't let them skip
a single thing, okay?

- Okay.
- Thanks.

[GASPS SOFTLY]

Why did no one tell me that
Phantoms attacked National City?

- Alex didn't want us to burden you.
- [EXHALES]

She knew you'd be worried,
and for no reason.

The Phantom is gone,
this is in the past.

Yeah, but how did it even get here?

We... sort of released it... the
first time we tried to rescue you.

So, all these people
suffered because of me?

No. Kara, no.

It is Lex's fault. He is the
one that sent you there.

Yeah, it, uh... [SNIFFLES]

It doesn't matter. Like you
said, that's over. It's done now.

So, I'll go talk to Andrea.

And I will go talk to Uncle Archie

and remind him that humans
cannot lift 800 pounds of machinery.

[KARA] Oh...

- Oh, dear.
- Welcome back, Kara.

William.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Look, I'm really sorry that I
left without saying goodbye,

or without even giving you a call. I...

- I had to go undercover...
- Kara.

You do not owe me an apology.

When we first met,
I was undercover. I get it.

Of course you do.

Hey, we should get coffee
after work, catch up.

I'd love to, but I have plans. Um...

I've been seeing someone, her
name's Mary, she's a pediatrician.

We actually met at a charity bake-off.

Her apricot couronne very narrowly
beat my famous banoffee pie.

- Wow.
- Mm-hmm. Well deserved, I must say.

That's wonderful. I'm
really happy for you, William.

Thank you.

- But coffee soon.
- Yes.

I know you can't divulge much
about the secret profile,

but I must hear some of the details.

- Okay.
- It's good to have you back.

[ZOR-EL] There was a moment in there,

when I could hear the other side
of ten different phone conversations.

These powers are... intense.

It takes time.

Especially, when your powers
come to you all at once.

And without a manual.

What a difference a sun makes.

What is that?

Something has broken through
the Earth's atmosphere.

Looks like a large piece of machinery.

It's speeding towards us.

You really wanna see
what Kara's life is like?

Suit up and get ready to fly.

J'onn, I've got eyes on the satellite.

- [J'ONN J'ONZZ] Do you need backup?
- No, we've got this.

- I'll go get it.
- Try your freeze breath.

- [SUPERGIRL] Nice job.
- [ZOR-EL] Thanks for the suggestion.

I also X-rayed the garbage patch.

It was covered in toxic chemicals.

Looks like we have Luthor Corp
and the former DEO to thank for that.

While we've seen upswings

for The Times and the
Daily Planet this quarter,

there's been a major
downward trend for CatCo Media.

Andrea. Is this a bad time?

I just got a lead on a major
environmental disaster story.

As it relates to Phantoms?

No, a thousand miles
off the coast of National City,

there is a literal island of garbage.

Kara, that's hardly news, there's
garbage masses in every ocean.

Right, yes, but this one was hit by a

neglected satellite
today, and caught fire

because this garbage island
has heavy amounts of debris

illegally dumped by multiple
corporations, including the DEO.

You mean Lex caused this?

William?

I want you to go investigate
this trash island fire

as it relates to Lex Luthor
and his misdeeds.

- Me?
- Him?

Yes. This is the one-two punch
the paper needs.

Two Pulitzer-winning writers
combating crises,

both frightening and domestic.

Not only will we focus

on local security and safety
with the Phantom story,

but also, we continue exposing Lex

for the global threat that he is.

William, you still have
contacts at Luthor Corp, right?

Yes, but I've been having trouble

getting them to disclose
anything since the trial.

Well, make them talk.

Just don't tell me about it.
Plausible deniability.

Andrea, I really think that because
I brought the trash island story,

and I really should be
the one to cover it...

Kara, every single news
source currently outranking us

is still covering the story.

But thanks to your connections,
CatCo has something no one else has.

Supergirl. No one has been able
to sit down with her.

You can get us back on top.

Unless for some reason, you have
a problem covering the Phantoms?

No. No, of course not.

Great.

[SIGHS]

[SNARLING]

[EXHALES]

[ZOR-EL OVER COMMS] Kara.

Kara. It's me, your dad.

[CLEARS THROAT] Uncle Archie?
What is it?

[ZOR-EL] After you told me of
Earth's environmental crisis,

I couldn't shake the feeling

that Earth was headed down
the same path as Krypton.

So, I analyzed your oceans, and
I'm afraid the prognosis is grim.

Your oceans are dying,
just like ours did.

I know, Father.

And I understand your fears,
but it's not just our oceans.

We've been trying to manage Earth's
environmental crises for years...

but it's... it's complicated.

Supergirl, I'm glad you're here.

I'm afraid the fire from
this morning has reignited.

We had it contained.

[J'ONN J'ONZZ] The fuel leak is
coming from a Dominator Warp Drive.

Brainy and I can break it down on
the molecular level, rendering it inert.

That should put the fire out.

That should have been done during
the cleanup after the DEO imploded.

I'm not surprised it wasn't.

Men like Lex
all ascribe to the same motto.

"Cheaper, faster, easier,"
no matter the damage.

Neglect like this
is what destroyed Krypton.

The death of the oceans,
that was the tipping point.

And you're already here.
We have to stop it.

This doesn't have an easy fix,
it's a complicated problem.

Of course. But if I could
access Krypton's records,

I could really compare
the data and analysis.

Maybe there's something
I missed on Krypton.

Kara, the pod we used to send
you to Earth. Do you still have it?

It should have retained data
from your launch date.

Actually, I have something
a lot better.

Welcome to Krypton on Earth.

Hey, Lena, have you seen Kara? I
know Zor-El asked her back here,

but Andrea's asking about her article,

and she's not picking up her phone.

That is because she and Zor-El
went to the Fortress of Solitude.

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

That's really great
that they get to share that.

Wait, Nia.

How are you doing?

I'm fine.

I-I know Kara and her father
coming back must be hard.

After everything we talked about
on the way to the Phantom Zone,

I know how much
you must miss your mother.

I'm really happy for Kara.

Really, I am, it's just...

Reminds you of all the things
you missed out on?

Yeah.

You know I get it.

I know.

Lena, I would do anything to
have another day with my mom.

I would do anything
to just know my mom.

You know, my Phantom
Fear Vision was about her?

The water monster? Did you conquer it?

Didn't we all? Isn't that how
we defeated the Phantoms?

Right. But, I mean,
how did you defeat it?

I let it overtake me, and... the
Kelpie turned into my mother.

What do you think it means?

I don't know,
you're the dream expert here.

No, no, that's different.
This is personal to you.

But you'll figure it out. And
I'm here to help any way I can.

I remember when your aunt and
uncle made the plan for this place.

I just didn't think it was possible.

Yeah, Kal-El tried to get me to come
here for years. [BREATHES DEEPLY]

I thought it would make me homesick.

That it would be too painful
to face all those memories.

I can understand that.

I am so sorry, Kara. I should
have done more to save our planet.

You did everything you could.

You sacrificed yourself to save
us. You were a hero, Father.

I ripped you from your home.

And I found a new one. Here.

And I promise you.
This time, I will save it.

I will not let what happened
to Krypton happen here.

If Kal-El is anything like his father,

all of Krypton's records
should be stored in here.

[SCREAMING]

[SCREAMING]

[SENTINEL] Kara! No!

Kara, are you okay?

Yes.

I'm just surprised that
everything's still in order after...

Of course it is.
That's what I'm here for.

You have a Kelex!

[BOTH CHUCKLE]

Kelex, my father is looking for
scientific data about Krypton.

Specifically, from the time
right before the planet exploded.

I will pull up everything I have.

Kara...

I think I know how to save your oceans.

[ANDREA] "Determining who's responsible
for these so-called garbage islands

proves just as messy as cleaning
up the islands themselves."

You sound like a human sleep-aid.

- [CHUCKLES]
- What happened to the Luthor Corp angle?

We know Lex's mismanagement
of the DEO is responsible for this.

[WILLIAM] We actually don't.

When I finally got my Luthor
Corp source on the phone,

he said Lex had hired a third
party to dispose of the DEO waste.

And it wasn't even illegal.

They exploited a loophole
in government regulations.

If anything, the system's
to blame for the fire.

The unseen toxicity of Lex
is the fire. Figure it out.

The fire is 100% contained.

Good. I am running a scan
on that garbage mass.

Just cataloguing
what other DEO remnants

might not have
been properly disposed of.

I can only imagine
how long that list is gonna be.

Hey, how was the Fortress?

I mean, since you've been back.
Are you okay?

Yeah, I'm fine.

But this planet isn't.

At the Fortress,
we ran a full comparison

of Earth's oceanic readings to
Krypton's just before it exploded.

As I thought,

your oceans' toxicity levels have put
Earth in the same trajectory as Krypton.

But perhaps, he can help.

This is Oscar.

Looks like Kelex, just with some
ugly '80s style shoulder pads.

It was Kelex, but my father figured
out a way to add some modifications

that will enable him to clean
Earth's oceans right now.

- Is Oscar an acronym?
- Oh, no. He's named

after that irritable green creature
who lives with the garbage.

Yes, he binge-watched Sesame Street

while I was recovering
under the sun lamps.

Crash course in Earth customs.

Did you upgrade him
with Coluan technology?

I would hardly call it an upgrade.

I...

I attached a Coluan energy core,

so Oscar can shrink trash and
convert it into energy in seconds.

Oscar will then absorb that
energy, rendering it harmless.

Okay. I will admit that
that is very impressive.

But the Earth is covered in 70% water.

Do you really think
that Oscar can handle that?

Yes. And this is something I could
never have achieved on Krypton.

Your planet has an amazing melting pot

of alien technology that we
never had access to on Krypton.

That's what concerns me.

Some alien technology
interacts poorly with others.

- Plus, I saw Kryptonite out there.
- Kryptonite?

Yes, but you must
have been too far away

from the garbage to feel its effect.

But that's my point.
We don't know the full scope

of the garbage on those islands.

We should run a full system check

before we release Zor-El's invention.

[ZOR-EL] I understand your concern.

I wish I could give you
an exact timeline

of when Earth will reach
Krypton's tipping point.

But that's the thing.

Once you can see the
tipping point, it's too late.

That's why we need to act now.

Okay. But I want him recalled
at the first sign of distress.

Of course.

- It's working.
- So it would seem.

Brainy?

Uh, Oscar is converting the
garbage even more efficiently

than Zor-El's model suggested.

I apologize for my skepticism.

That's not necessary. I'm
just happy I'm able to help.

No, they can't pull their ads,
we're turning things around.

- You... Tell them.
- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]

Let me call you back.

[BEEPS]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

[GASPS SOFTLY] William's source
was telling the truth.

[SIGHS] There's got to be
something here.

Jackpot.

[ALARM BEEPING]

[BEEPING CONTINUES]

What is it?

Getting some odd fluctuations
in Oscar's energy core.

His mass is increasing, too.

He seems to be adding garbage
to his body,

not converting it to energy.

We need to bring him back.

I'll recall him.

[KEYBOARD CLACKING]

[COMPUTER BEEPS]

I've issued the return command,
but he's not responding.

[ALARM BLARING]

[SUPERGIRL] I'll go get him.

- Brainy, the coordinates?
- I've lost him.

Visuals are gone, and he's
disappeared off the radar.

There are major shipping lanes
in that area.

If Oscar malfunctions,
he could endanger cargo ships.

Try satellite imaging.

There's no trace of him. He's gone.

J'onn and I will find him.

Brainy, you stay here with my father,

figure out what went wrong
and how to fix it.

[BRAINY] Don't forget,
there's Kryptonite.

- You lost a radioactive Kelex?
- Oscar.

Supergirl and J'onn are out
scanning for him right now.

We're looking for anything
that he might have absorbed

that would corrupt his programming,

and make him disappear.

[DEVICE BEEPS]

[ZOR-EL] The DEO had Daxamite tech?

- Yeah.
- That might explain

his new cloaking abilities.

I have some experience with that.

I should be able to de-cloak him

by sending out a signal wave blast.

Zor-El, you used
Coluan shrinking tech. Smart.

I did something similar with a
high-pressure energy compactor

at L-Corp.

It's a attractive idea,
but a delicate process.

Shrinking energy doesn't get rid
of it. It still has to go somewhere.

That energy is what powers
Oscar. He's self-sufficient.

Unless he's been compromised by

one of my brother's unholy experiments.

[COMPUTER BEEPING]

That's Oscar's Coluan
energy core. Why is it red?

[LENA] All that energy
has overloaded him.

If it gets any higher,
it's going to detonate

with the force of an atomic bomb.

We have to find him.

- His trail's gone cold.
- [KEYBOARD CLACKING]

A cold. That's it.
That's how we can reset him.

We give him a virus. A computer virus.

Brainy, that's genius.

If we can't restore
Oscar's programming,

we can give him a virus
and shut him down completely.

I know Kelex's operating frequencies,

so we just need to get the virus

within a few centimeters of
his hard drive for it to take effect.

I can deliver it with a drone.

But a virus will destroy Oscar.

If we don't destroy him,
he will destroy us.

No! I can still fix him!
He can still save Krypton!

Earth. He can still save Earth.

My signal wave blast
is nearly complete.

Oscar should be de-cloaking any second.

Brainy, get that virus ready.

- [COMPUTER BEEPS]
- Wait.

[ALEX] No, we don't have time to wait.

You heard Lena. This thing
could explode at any minute,

killing hundreds
of thousands of people.

Look, I know that you
wanted to help. I get that.

But we have to shut this robot down now

before he does any more damage. So...

all due respect, but you
either help Brainy with the virus,

or you step aside.

[SIGHS]

I altered Kelex's programming
frequency when I made the upgrades.

Let me show you.

When Oscar reappears,
we need to be ready.

[ROARING]

[SUPERGIRL] My God.

You said he bonded
with the trash, but this...

He's picked up a Teallian
along the way.

Lex must have brought one to the DEO.

It's a parasitic creature that forces

even inanimate objects
to adapt to survive.

It's impossible to remove
once it's attached to a host.

So, now,
Oscar's protecting the garbage.

[LENA] His Coluan energy core
is spiking.

If that detonates, the atomic
blast is going to spread inland.

Copy that. Dreamer and I will
evacuate the civilians.

Brainy, launch that drone, now.

Sprock.

Lena, I lost the drone
with the virus in it.

- Can you recall it?
- Standby.

Brainy, I'm trying,
but I can't control it.

- I think we can grab the drone.
- Wait. I did a psychic scan.

Oscar is protected by a force field.

He must have acquired it
from the DEO tech.

And trying to breach it
could cause a backlash.

Brainy, that force field is keeping
me from accessing the drone.

[ZOR-EL] You've to find
a way to get close enough

to the drone
to release the virus manually.

On it.

[SUPERGIRL] How will you
get close enough?

I need to get him to think I'm trash.

Kelex!

Kelex, you stupid idiot!
Can you hear me?

Wow!

Look how big and dumb you are!

A junkyard? Come on!

You sorry excuse for a Roomba!

I know you know the truth.

Without that Coluan power core,
you're nothing!

I regret nothing!

- We need to help him.
- [BRAINY SCREAMING]

[ZOR-EL] Brainy, are you okay?

[BRAINY] I'm shifting through trash.

Just a little further to Kelex.

[BOTH GROANING]

- [SUPERGIRL GROANING]
- Supergirl!

Supergirl, that is
a Teallian proto-ray.

Your suit's been breached.

It's not gonna protect you
from the Kryptonite.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

[SENTINEL] Kara! No!

I'm not gonna be the reason
Kara's trapped in here.

[LENA] Brainy,
where are you with the virus?

[BRAINY] I'm working on it.

[ALL GRUNT]

I think I got it.

Virus has been deployed. The Coluan
energy core is shutting down in three...

two, one.

Everyone, take cover.

- Are you all right?
- Yeah, we're all right. Right, Supergirl?

[BRAINY GRUNTS]

I got him.

- You did it.
- [LENA] No, we did it.

Brainy would never have been able

to make that virus without your help.

[KELEX] You didn't really mean
all those things you said, did you?

I meant every word.

What a mess.

I got this.

I took Kelex back to the Fortress.

He'll be all right.

We can go see him tomorrow,
if you want.

No.

I need to return to Argo City,
and finally face your mother.

Face her?

When I found out you
and your mother were alive...

it was the happiest moment of my life.

And I miss her so much, Kara.

In the Phantom Zone,

the memory of her and you
were what kept me alive.

But now seeing her again,
isn't just some far off dream.

It's... an inevitability.

And the thought
of looking her in the eye

and seeing all of my mistakes
reflected back on me...

[BREATH SHAKING]

I didn't think I could handle
the weight of that guilt.

You did everything you could
to save Krypton.

I did.

And that made me part of the problem.

I made rash decisions out of
hubris and made everything worse.

Then when I saw your planet
heading in the same direction,

I thought, if I could just fix Earth,

I could earn my way back to her.

I was so focused on avoiding the past,

I ran headfirst
into all my old mistakes.

I definitely understand that.

I may have made
a lot of mistakes in my life.

But the one thing
that went right, was you.

You are strong and caring
and have built a beautiful life.

But, Kara...

you don't need to carry
the weight of this world

or any world on your shoulders
every moment of every day.

[SIGHS]

Sometimes, even though
you're Kryptonian...

it's okay to be human.

Zor-El, Brainy's set to take you back

to Argo City whenever you're ready.

Almost 40 years in the Phantom Zone

was worth it just to see you again.

I'm gonna miss you so much, Father.

Andrea, you published my article.

I thought you wouldn't do it
unless I trashed Lex.

Your article was good, William. It
didn't need the Luthor Corp angle.

Not to mention the photo
you got of this giant trash robot.

- It's a real attention-grabber.
- [CHUCKLES]

- It is?
- Yes.

But I also realized something.

These attacks on National City,
we've been killing ourselves

trying to cover them
like every other news outlet.

But the real story...
is who's stopping them.

Supergirl and her friends?

"Super Friends?" Huh.

That's good. I like that.
Let's run with that.

Run with what, exactly?

Our future.

CatCo made Supergirl.

And they have enjoyed a mutually
beneficial relationship ever since.

But like Supergirl,
we need to think bigger.

It's not just
how these heroes save the day.

It's why. What drives them
to do what they do.

I want a full profile on these heroes,

and I want a lasting
relationship with all of them.

Track their every move,
until we're the ones they call

before they go fight
a giant robot or a Phantom.

Okay. But they're superheroes,
and we're only human.

How do we cover their every move?

Well, you're the investigative
journalist. You'll figure it out.

[CELL PHONE VIBRATING]

[LINE BEEPS]

Hey, Lena, is everything okay?

[LENA] Yeah, everything's
actually good.

I just got off the phone with
Kara, but I wanted to call you.

I finally understand
what the Kelpie means.

Y-You did? What's it mean?

That I don't have to
feel guilty anymore.

I've spent my entire life
feeling responsible

for my mother's death, even
though I know it's not true, but...

every time I thought about her,
I would just be drowning in guilt.

Facing that Phantom allowed me
to break through and finally let go.

- That's great.
- It also made me realize

that all of that guilt was keeping me

from knowing who my mother really was.

So... I've decided to change that.

I'm gonna go home.

- Uh, to Luthor Mansion?
- No.

To where I was born.

Thank you, Nia.

Sure.

[ALEX] Okay. This is like...
I'm... [SIGHS]

Okay. I'm not going to let the
chopsticks defeat me tonight.

But you, you're gonna
have to open the wine.

I, I tried. There we go.

[SIGHS] Okay.

It was so cold in there.

- When?
- In the...

Phantom Zone.

- Oh, Kara...
- So empty.

[INHALES SHARPLY]
Every breath felt like...

like ice.

And I was so weak.

It's okay. You don't have to
talk about this, okay?

- Remember?
- No, no, no, I-I want to.

I need to.

Okay.

I don't want to be alone anymore.

You are not alone. You've got me.

It's okay.

I think I just, I just...

so desperately wanted to get
away from the Phantom Zone, that I...

didn't let myself process...

how much I went through...

how afraid I was.

[ALEX EXHALES]

What if that fear never goes away?

You know...

when I, uh, when I thought
that we couldn't get you back...

I just wanted to give up.
I mean, like...

Like I couldn't get out of bed.
I couldn't...

You know? And now,
that we did get you back,

I still feel like you could
slip away at any moment.

I felt that way today, too.

And I'm so sorry.

Because all I want to do is just
shield you from any more pain,

that I just didn't even think...

the only way out, is through.

And we're going
to get through this together.

Healing together.

Yeah.

Iris West-Allen wrote a piece
for the Central City Citizen

about how the city
came together after an attack.

That's what I need
to write my piece on.

That is a very noble and a
very courageous thing to do.

Thank you.

And we need to get you a fork
because I am not gonna

let you embarrass yourself
trying to use these chopsticks.

[ALEX] I'll show you chopsticks.

[KARA LAUGHS] Oh, no.

[LAUGHTER]

[THUNDER RUMBLING]

- [THUNDERCLAP]
- [GASPS]

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

Nyxly.
