Previously, on
"Supergirl"...

We're in a race
against Nyxly

to find seven Totems

before she can use them
to wipe us out of existence.

Courage,
Humanity, Truth,

Destiny, Love,
Dreams and Hope.

Since Nyxly arrived,

I feel like
I have been one step

behind
on everything.

Mysterious alien known as Nyxly
remains at large.

Are the Super Friends
prepared for this?

- What are you talking about?
- I quit.

Supergirl just
destroyed the Hope Totem.

Now the AllStone
will never be whole.

What are you?

The key to your success.

You're the key
to my success?

That's right.

There you go.
All-in-one

and in working order.

Also, I'm going to help you
get the AllStone.

Right.

A man... dressed like
a fancy banker

is going to help me
collect seven magical Totems,

one of which has already
been destroyed, by the way.

Yeah,

thanks for the assist
with the suit, but...

I'm good.

Your own
future consciousness

used the Dream Totem
to manifest me here.

Surely, you trust
your own opinion of me.

Good.

Now, at the risk of
breaking the rules of time travel,

you need to know that I am
also from the future.

- Well, technically, I'm from this time...
- This is terribly boring.

But in that future,
you and I are partners.

And very good friends.

I don't have any friends.

You have one friend.
Me.

And together,

we're two of the most powerful
beings in the universe.

That sounds like
I got the AllStone then.

You did.

But... you didn't do it
in the right way.

And that turned
out to be a grave mistake.

As in...
fatal.

- I died?
- But lucky for you,

I was there.

I preserved your consciousness
and came back here

to help you succeed
this time

in a way
that will make you invincible.

Sorry I'm late.

What is Lex Luthor
doing here?

You're Lex Luthor,

the madman who sent Supergirl
to the Phantom Zone.

That was
some of my best work.

Do you know what I really,
really loathe?

Men who send women
to Phantom Zone.

I know exactly what you are,
Lex Luthor.

I've had to deal with men
like you my entire life.

Arrogant,
narcissistic, manipulative.

I can assure you we are not
and we will never be friends.

*SUPERGIRL*
Season 06 Episode 17

Episode Title:
"I Believe in a Thing Called Love"

Aired on:
October 26, 2021.

I can't believe it.

CatCo's not gonna
be the same without you.

Being a journalist
is part of who you are.

I know, but with
Nyxly still out there,

I need to stay focused.

She is the biggest threat
we have ever faced,

and there's no reason for us
to always be one step behind.

I want to draw Nyxly out
and catch her off guard.

I like it.
How do we do it?

We have a plan.

Nia, Lena, Kelly,
to the lab.

And I could use your help
on disarming strategies.

Sure.

Oh, gosh, I'm so glad
you two are here.

Uh.
Is Kelly around?

She just went to the lab with Brainy.
Why? What's up?

Oh, I don't know.
Maybe because this came in.

Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

It's beautiful.
She's gonna love it.

Uh, I forgot. Tomorrow night's
the big night, right?

Yes, it is the anniversary of the moment
that I knew I was in love with Kelly.

Oh, I love this story.
Tell it, tell it.

Okay. Okay. Okay.

So we're at Al's and
everybody's there arguing about

the greatest movie
villain of all time.

And she and I both
say at the same time...

Hans Gruber.

Yes.

Who knew Al's bar
was so romantic?

Yeah, and it's going to be
even more so

after
I set it up.

I'm thinking rose petals on the tabletop
that we shared,

and so many candles,
we'll probably break the fire code.

Esme and I gonna take
all the supplies there to Al's now,

so that it's easy
to set up tomorrow.

But, um, listen,
I won't be gone long,

so I can be back
to help with Nyxly.

Go, go. We will let you know
when we're ready.

- Just go. Get out of here.
- Okay, okay, okay.

I'll call you when we've got
our trap ready for Nyxly.

All right, Esme,
look at this. This is Al's.

This is home to the best
karaoke night in the galaxy.

You're gonna love it.

As long as they
have mozzarella sticks.

They do.

Hey, Al!

Hey, where you guys going
with all this stuff?

Oh. Uh, I was just dropping off
some supplies for tomorrow night.

I have kind of a romantic
evening planned.

Oh, Alex, I wish
you'd called ahead.

We're booked
for a private event.

You're booked?

This place has never
been booked.

If I had known that
you could be booked,

I would have done that.

If you want to make it another night,
I can easily...

They can't do it
another night.

It has to be the night Alex realized
Kelly was the love of her life.

Don't you believe in love,
Al?

Wow.

I'm really sorry, guys.

I can't do it.

Oh, I missed you, boss.

Now, why couldn't Nyxly have given me
that kind of reception?

So what if
she rejected you?

You're Lex Luthor.
And your timing couldn't be better.

Luthor Corp's returns
are through the roof this quarter.

Your mom gave me a board seat.

And the way you left
everything covered,

I think
I'm the only one

who noticed
you were gone.

My, but, point is,
you don't need that imp.

See, the thing about
that imp is

she's the only thing
I want.

Nyxly
is the love of my life.

I'm sorry, what?

- I know. Me?
- In love?

I've always shouldered
this world alone.

I've never known what it meant
to have a true partner.

Who could possibly match my wit,

my flair,
my unfiltered genius?

But when I met Nyxly,
I knew.

She was the one.

This was
supposed to be so easy.

Come to this time,

help Nyxly get the Love Totem
before the Super Friends find it,

and then return
to the future

where my Nyxly
would still be alive.

I can't save her if she
doesn't trust me.

And she won't trust me
if she doesn't even like me.

And if she doesn't like me
now,

how will she love me
in the future?

I did not understand
a word of that.

But if she loved you
before,

why don't you
just... do that again?

You big,
beautiful idiot.

That's exactly
what I should do.

Okay, I won't publish anything
until after you succeed.

But how exactly
is this plan going to work?

After conferring with
the Kryptonian witch hologram,

we've deduced the next Totem
Nyxly will go after.

The Love Totem.

Using my magic,

I'm going to mimic the energy
of the Totems we already have

thereby creating
a fake Love Totem,

which will be indistinguishable
from the real one.

When Nyxly picks up on
that signature, she'll come for the Totem,

right to the secure location
we've chosen.

Where our team will be staked out
waiting to contain Nyxly

the minute
she shows her face.

That kid is really something,
isn't she?

Yeah, she is.

We're very lucky.

Yes, we are.

You know, I knew
I wanted to be a mom,

but... I never imagined
what it would be like

to be with such
an amazing partner.

The world
may throw us

a lot of curveballs,

but the one thing that I am
certain about... is us.

It's showtime.

I see.
It's a party then.

Ah! That gibberish might be able
to suppress my Totem's powers,

but you can't suppress this.

- Oh!
- Take her to containment.

No!

Well,
this is a familiar scene.

I had them.

A trick Totem.

You'll pay for that.

Miss me, sis?

What the hell was that?

Your sister?

How could
she imitate a Totem

and fool
my crystal ball?

I can take a look
at that for you.

Make it so
it can't be tricked.

- I don't mind.
- Just because you waltzed in

at a very convenient moment
doesn't mean that... Wait.

How did you know
where I was?

What is that?

Is that a surveillance drone?

Are you stalking me?
Creep.

I was protecting you.

If I hadn't
shown up when I did,

you would be powerless
in a prison right now.

You claim
to be on my side.

But I am no closer
to finding my Totems.

So get out!

Uh,
this is my home.

Fine.

I love you.

You're awake.

Thank God. How are you feeling?

I'm fine.

I'm fine.

Are you okay?

I'm not the one that just got blasted
by her greatest weakness.

Lena, we just faced
off with Lex.

I saw your decoy
Totem catch fire.

What happened?

I thought I was done
with all that venom

he brought into my life
but...

When he turned up yesterday
unexpected and unannounced...

All that rage, it came...
came back all over me.

Magic is so tied
to emotions and...

If I feel out of control or angry,
then my magic reflects that.

Your rage started the fire?

It's what happened
to my mother.

She lost control
and people got hurt.

I'm so sorry.

Just while Lex is in play
and getting in my head,

I think it's safer if
I don't do magic.

- You know, God knows who I could hurt.
- Yeah, I understand.

And you bring so much more
to the team than magic.

I mean, look how
you just healed me.

Well, that was science.

Lex Luthor is
working with Nyxly?

Super Friends
set a trap for her,

but it failed when
Lex showed up.

They escaped together.

Get me everything.

Don't eat.
Don't sleep.

We're already down
one Pulitzer winner,

so this is all
on you.

I want a full expose
on their nefarious plan

before... anyone else
gets wind of this.

Andrea, believe me,

no one wants to take down Lex
more than I do.

But you remember
the trial.

We prejudged
without knowing all the facts,

and Lex used that against us
to make us look like fools.

We have to do this
the right way this time.

You mean the slow way.

I need the story to put
us back on top.

And I need to be certain
it was really Lex,

and not just someone
in an image inducer.

Then I'll figure out
what he's up to.

And how are you
going to do that?

Infiltrate the Luther
inner sanctum somehow.

Get...
airtight proof he's back.

Fine.

But you have until
the end of today.

I will run the story of Lex Luthor's
return by tonight,

with
or without your proof.

There's no sign of either Nyxly
or Lex's energy signatures.

This is bad.

Hey, how
are you feeling?

I'll be fine once we
find Lex and Nyxly.

- Where's Nia?
- She's trying to dream up their location.

How did they even meet?

We've been monitoring
Luthor Corp's chatter in the underworld

on Lex's activities.

Nothing popped.

We thought
he was laying low.

He was. Just...

Just not in this century.

The explosion Lex used,

that tech is from
the 31st century.

And now
Lex has his hands on it.

Wait, are you saying
Lex went to the future?

All that matters
is that

two of the worst villains
we have ever faced

are now working together,

and we need something
big to stop them.

We do have two weapons
we haven't considered using yet.

The Totems.

We use our Totems
to take Lex and Nyxly's courage.

Or give them humanity.

So if we do the reverse,
then it could take our humanity.

Alex is right.

The Totem's consequences
are too unpredictable.

I agree.
It's too risky.

And we always said
we were going to protect the Totems.

Maybe there's a way we can use
the Totems' energy,

but not
as a weapon.

At The Hague, Nyxly used the Courage
Totem as a shield.

Is there a way we can
replicate that?

I can make a prototype.

We'll have to activate the Totem
to even see if it'll work.

J'onn
and I can do that.

Brainy, you get working
on that shield.

Alex, Kelly, you two
are on patrol.

If Lex and Nyxly
are working together,

this city is the most vulnerable
it's ever been.

Try reversing
the Totem's energy signatures.

That should create a baseline
to repel the Dream Totem.

She's right.
That should theoretically work.

Sure.
Yes, theoretically.

What if Lex is using some
other technology from the 31st century?

Sprock.
I should have known.

The 31st century
is a technology nirvana.

Of course Lex would
have been drawn to that time. I just...

I just wish we knew
what he was doing in the future.

What does
the Legion say?

Uh, I haven't contacted
them yet.

What?

Brainy, they would know
what Lex is up to,

and we need
all the information we can get.

I know.

But knowing things
about the future

could have major consequences
on the space-time continuum.

And the last time
I acted on anformation

from the future,
I teamed up with Lex,

betrayed my friends,
and nearly destroyed half the world.

I don't want to go down
that path again.

I understand.

All right. Well...

I'll try to dream the location
of the Love Totem.

But if you guys should have need
of my genius again, give a whistle.

So if we activate these Totems,

we should be able to use their
power to shield us from the Dream Totem.

We know the Humanity Totem
doesn't require a test to activate it.

It only affected Nyxly's humanity because
she used it as a weapon.

So that leaves
the Courage test.

Let me try this time, Kara.

You sure?

I know exactly the moment
I lacked true courage.

And while the thought of going back
to that moment terrifies me...

I think it's time.

I know that I can't
enter the gauntlet with you,

but know that I will be
beside you the whole time.

Kerr six.

No!

No. Not this time.

You have
performed admirably.

Kerr six.

She was unimpressed
with my heroics.

She balked at my
surveillance drones.

You know, we used to have
matching tracking devices.

She got them
for our anniversary.

Said nothing was
more romantic than

knowing where
her Lexie was at all times.

It's so sweet to see you like this,
you know, smitten.

Smitten?

If I ever hear you say
that word... ever again,

I'm going to implant
a nano sun eater into your skull.

Hey.
Why don't you, like, just...

Brainwash her?

"I love Lexie" style.

Otis, my good man,
forcing women into loving you

is the underpinning
of a toxic relationship.

But you love toxic
relationships.

Not as much as I love Nyxly.

She has made me
a changed man.

And I have grown.

Then why don't you just tell her
the truth about your relationship?

You can't just tell
a woman how you feel.

It scares them off.

Oh, one hour until the Super Idiots
find the Love Totem for real.

You gonna crash their
party again, rescue Nyxly?

No, I think this time I'm just going
to have to let the girl come to me.

But that does not mean
that I am just going to let her fail.

Hello, courier minion.
I need you to deliver

some highly-sensitive intel
to Nyxly for me.

But do not tell her
where you got it from.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, good. You're back.

What happened to you?

I was doing research
and a book fell on my face.

Twice.

But I did read Tale of an Object
Infused with Love.

You know, maybe
it's the Love Totem.

Ines De Castro,
the Corpse bride of Portugal.

The grave of famous
lovers in Portugal.

Hmm.

That's just what
the Mxy ball said.

I know
where the Love Totem is.

Hey, guys, I see it.

Oh, you didn't think
I'd let you just come in

and take such a pretty
little bauble, did you?

Supergirl!

It's only a nightmare
from the Dream Totem.

Where did it go?

Mitch, now.

There's no sign
of the Totem.

Even the energy
signature is gone.

And I'll need
to fix this proto-trap

if we have any hope
of finding Nyxly in the future.

I just don't understand.
How could it just disappear?

None of the other
Totems behaved this way.

Actually, according to lore,
there are legends of it disappearing

and reappearing
throughout history.

The Totem seems to seek out love
and be repelled by hate.

Well, Nyxly certainly wants it
for hateful reasons.

I'm afraid that while the combination
of the two Totems' energy

is stronger than anything
I could've created from scratch,

defensively
it's a half-measure.

A Totem's energy is much more effective
when used as a weapon.

Nyxly.
What a surprise.

The Love Totem
disappeared.

Do you know
where it went?

- Are you asking for my help?
- Yes.

Will you help me?

It would be my honor,
ma cherie.

Uh, still...

Never going to
be friends, you and I.

This is strictly business.

Hmm.

Hey.

Oh, man.

I'm so sorry, I truly thought
that shield would work.

I am so, so sorry
I wasn't there to protect you.

It's not your fault.

I was right there
with you in the decision.

It's not just that.

My courage test
took me right back

to the moment that I failed
to protect everyone I love.

Only this time in the gauntlet,

I didn't let myself be separated
from my daughters.

I fought.

Fought like hell.

Fought to the death.

But I still lost them.

And when I saw you get hit
with that Dream Totem, I...

I had that same feeling
all over again.

I know what you mean.

When the Dream Totem
hit me in my...

My nightmare vision
was... Phantom Zone phantoms.

Hey, this is the first
time you've come

face to face with Lex
since he sent you there.

That can't have been easy.

And now with Lex and Nyxly
working together, it's hard...

It's really hard to find hope.

You know, maybe...

my test and your vision...

is trying to teach us that we're stronger
than our fears.

I can't save my daughters.

But I can save you.

Everyone.

My family now.

I think
we should use our Totems

as weapons
against Lex and Nyxly.

The combination of Lex and Nyxly
is too dangerous,

and Brainy was right.

If we're going to win this war,
we need to use all our firepower.

I agree.

But if you use the
Humanity Totem...

Kara, you could lose
your humanity.

But that's a risk
I'm willing to take.

And I think I know of a way
I can protect myself.

You want me to use my magic
with Lex still around?

Just to protect me from the blowback
of the Humanity Totem.

If I use it to give
Lex and Nyxly more humanity,

I run the risk of losing
some of my own.

Unless
your magic... can protect me.

Kara, I told you
that my magic

can't be trusted
with Lex involved.

When the Dream Totem
hit me...

it sent me
into a nightmare.

Where I was...

surrounded by phantoms.

And I was becoming
a phantom too.

Cold.

Emotionless.

But then I realized...

this nightmare
is showing me

what I could become
without my humanity.

And I thought that
nightmare would make me

even more
afraid to use the Totem,

but you know what?

I'm not afraid to become
that phantom.

I've been letting
Nyxly convince me

that if
I stoop to her level,

I'd become
a monster just like her.

But you know what?
I have something she doesn't.

This team, this family.

And no matter
what happens,

I know you all will pull me
back from the edge,

which is why I need
your help now.

If I use my magic,
I could end up hurting you.

You've been afraid to become
the worst version of yourself

because for so long,
Lex was the only family you had.

He wanted you to be a monster,
and there was no one around

to pull you back
when you went too far.

But he's not your
family anymore.

We are.

Focus on the good.

On your real family.

Use that
to fuel your magic...

and you won't lose
control.

- Hey.
- Hey.

Wait a minute.
What are you still doing here?

Shouldn't you be at Al's Bar
getting all betrothed?

Al's was booked.

I know.
I know.

And with Nyxly
and Lex out there,

I mean, I-I... I don't know if it's
even the right time.

So you're just gonna
postpone your proposal?

Just like that?

You may not know this,
but... Kelly was engaged before.

And so was I.

And the last time that I proposed,
it was totally spontaneous.

I just jumped right in there
with no planning and it just felt right.

But...

That relationship
just...

ended.

Alex.

You and Kelly
have one of the strongest

relationships
I've ever seen.

And if I know one
thing, it's this.

When Lex Luther is around,
tomorrow is never promised.

So if you have love to give...

give it now.

You may not get
another chance.

You really think you fixed
my crystal ball without magic?

This is technology
from the future.

With your own future self's help,
I was able to blend technology and magic.

- I helped you build that?
- I told you. We were quite a pair.

We made many beautiful
things together.

What was I like...

will I be like...
after I got the AllStone?

Did I get my revenge?

Oh, yes.

I didn't know you then,
but it must have been magnificent.

Every time you talked about it,
you glowed.

Maybe...

That's why
you were more responsive

to... befriending
an arrogant man such as me.

You no longer carried the weight
of you unfulfilled vengeance.

I know
where the Love Totem is.

Okay, Al, I know that you said
this place was booked but...

- Surprise!
- Surprise!

Wait, you're the one
who booked it?

- How did you even do this?
- Uh, I had some help.

William was in on it.

You two had the
same plan. It's fate!

Oh, my gosh.

Alex.

I wanted to surprise you
tonight because...

It's the anniversary of the first time
I realized I loved you.

I love everything
about you.

Your passion.

And your compassion.

The way that you fight
for people that you love.

But you never
let it harden you.

The way that you
make space for me

to be the truest
version of myself.

You are more than my love.

You are my perfect match.

And when I'm with you,
my soul feels... complete.

Alex Danvers, will you...

No, no no.
Wait, wait, wait.

Wait. Wait.

Look, I wanted
to be the first to do this.

Oh, crap.

What is that?

That's the Love Totem.

Supergirl!

Get her out of here.

Let's go.

Brainy, how's Lena doing?

She's getting
her emotions in check.

All right, Lena.

It's your turn.

You got this.

Now.

Why?

Why are you making
all this chaos?

It's working!

No.

I won't let you sway me
from my mission again.

J'onn, I need you!

Looks like I got here
just in time.

No!

No!

I hit the Love Totem with all the energy
of the Courage Totem.

Do you think it still works?

It's not emitting any fifth-dimension
energy like it should be.

And, you know,
it turned black.

If the Love Totem is destroyed,

does that mean all the love
in the world is diminished?

You know,
I-I don't think all the love

in the world
has been diminished.

You want to know
why,

out of all the pockets
in all of the world,

that Totem appeared
in mine?

It's because of how much love
I feel for each one of you.

And...
it doesn't go away

just because that
thing turned black.

It's still here.

And I know it
because I can feel it.

It's...

It's the truest love.

Come here.

Earlier today,
I was... so anxious

because
I convinced myself

that if you and I
didn't have the perfect proposal,

that our future
would be doomed.

And thinking about that,
that sounds absolutely ridiculous.

From the moment that we met...

you and I have been
surrounded by chaos.

From
blackouts to black holes.

We fought monsters.

I mean, God, we even loved
each other through the end of the universe.

And not even that
could tear us apart.

Kelly Olsen...

I love you

with every fiber
of my being.

You are the person
that I want to watch

Die Hard with
for the rest of my life.

Will you marry me?

Yes.

Yes. Of course, yes.

Yes.

Oh, my God! Come on!

We're getting married!

Oh, my God.

Don't worry.

This will remove all
of the Totem's energy from you.

There.

All done.

Your emotions
are once again your own.

You had a clean shot
at the Love Totem.

And you
abandoned it to save me.

Why?

Did I?
I must not have seen it.

Tell me the truth.

What do you want
from me?

You want the truth?

The truth is I love you.

I love you so much
that when you... died,

part of me died too.

And you don't understand.
I don't love... anybody.

In fact,
I hate everyone.

From a very young age,

I knew I would
move through this world alone,

riding that solitary
high-speed train

towards progress and greatness
all by myself.

But there you were.

This radiant, powerful being,

vibrating with
your own brilliant madness.

I never thought anyone could match
my ambition, my genius, but...

Then I met you.

In all the timelines,
in all the dimensions,

in all the universes,
you...

were the only one that
could match me.

But of course, you don't know any of this,
'cause you weren't there.

Yet.

You haven't met me yet,
and I sound insane.

No one has ever selflessly sacrificed
something for me

like you did
tonight.

So, no, I wasn't there.

But...

If what you say is true
and you really are here

to help me
succeed...

Well, I don't see
why we can't be friends.

- Look at that.
- Top it off.

You know, I never said drinking
was allowed in here,

- but I think it's a good idea.
- Well...

Kelly! Welcome to the family.

Aww, thank you.

Oh.

Oh, excuse me.

Would you like
a Shirley Temple, Esme?

Okay.

Excuse me.

So for engagement presents,
I'm thinking matching motorcycles.

What say you?

Sure.

Hey, what is it?

Lex's behavior tonight...

It was irrational.

He had the Love
Totem in his grasp, and yet...

Yet he portaled
away without it. Why?

I try not to get too much into
the psyche of Lex Luther.

Something changed
him in the future.

We need to know
more.

I don't want to make
the same mistakes of the past.

Well, you won't.

'Cause this time you
don't have secrets.

This time,
you have me

and the rest of the team,
and we trust you.

You need to call
the future.

Okay.

There you are.
You almost missed the party.

I just wanted to take a minute
to clean up downstairs.

Uh, thank you for
taking that risk today.

You protected me
from losing a part of myself.

You always do.

Well, you protected
everyone else.

Besides, it should be me thanking you
for pushing me to use my magic.

'Cause I now know
for sure...

I really am
free of Lex.

I will drink to that.

Thanks for meeting me.

You've reached William's phone.
Please leave a message.

William, you promised you'd deliver,
and you didn't.

If you're not going
to get me what I need,

I'll get it myself.

Thank you for fixing this.

But what does it matter
if we find the rest of the Totems?

I can't build the AllStone
without the Hope Totem.

You mean...

This Hope Totem?

I thought Supergirl
destroyed that.

The thing about these Totems is,
you can destroy the shell,

but the essence
flows into something new.

Oh. Also,
the Love Totem...

The Super Friends
destroyed it.

So you think that
one will reconstitute itself as well?

I know it will.
