What do you think

it's gonna do?

[all] Whoa!

[children laughing]

-Shall we?

-Yeah.

[both giggling]

End simulation.

-End simulation.

-[beep]

End simulation!

End simulation!

[loud gasp]

[breathing heavily]

Why didn't you end simulation?

Yeah, I tried. It didn't work.

And the failsafe button?

What, you mean that giant

red thing that screams

"Push me"?

It's tied to your biometrics.

It appears when necessary.

Yeah, it disappeared

the minute I reached for it.

-What do you mean?

-I mean,

your failsafe failed.

Really? This is the first time

that I've ever encountered it,

but your experience will be

reported to our

development team, Mr. Bates.

I assure you,

this glitch will be fixed.

Long before the launch of

Obsidian Platinum.

I can handle his exit interview

from here, Ms. Olsen.

[theme music playing]

[Supergirl] Dreamer,

I'm sending him to you.

Nap time.

That was incredible!

You beat my record

for defeating a Dominator.

Well, you warmed him up

for me.

Don't you have a date

to get to?

Go! Get out of here.

I want pictures.

[sirens blaring]

Close off the street.

Secure the area.

You're welcome...

Director Dox.

Thank you, Dreamer.

Yes, um...

Thank you.

You already said that.

[whoosh]

Hey. What's the emergency?

Blue or purple?

-Oh, your date with

William is tonight.

-Yes.

-Cancel it for me?

-No, I will not.

And, blue. Always go with

the blue. You know this.

I know. I know. But, I...

It's been two and a half years

since I went on a date.

What if I...

forgot how to do it?

You smile, and you laugh,

and your reach for the check.

[sighs]

You make it sound

so easy.

But the way, you should have

seen Nia today.

She was on fire.

Yeah, I did.

She was all over YouTube

and the news,

and every other platform

I've never hear of.

I'm just so proud of her.

And you know what, it just

feels so good to know that if

I want to take a night off,

three's someone there

that can save the day.

After a productive dinner

with Crown Prince

Raakaan el-Farah,

philanthropist Lex Luthor

announced

that Obsidian Platinum's

VR lenses will soon

be available in Quarac.

Gross.

Well, don't book your trip

to Bali just yet,

-we still have to deal

with Lex.

-And we will.

We will stop him

and get him out of the DEO

and we'll get you back in there

where you belong.

You miss it, don't you?

Well, I mean,

I like to think that

the DEO misses me.

But, yeah. Yeah, I miss it.

But, hey, you know what,

I am blazing

a whole new trail here,

and tonight I will be

having a date with this guy.

Oh! Oh, is that,

that Martian weapon

J'onn gave you?

-What do you call it,

the Hand of the Solider?

-Yeah.

How's training?

-Wanna see?

-Yeah.

-Right?

-Mmm-hmm.

-[electricity buzzing]

-Ow! God, this...

This thing is supposed to know

what I'm thinking,

but it's being

very stubborn.

Well, like soldier like hand.

-[buzzes]

-[yelps] Don't scare me!

[laughing]

[Yvette] Isn't that Dreamer

something amazing?

I think she's more powerful

than Supergirl.

I don't know. I think she

probably has her problems

just like everyone else.

[yelps] Oh, no.

You are not spending

another Friday night

on this couch, in sweats

housing rocky road.

I like ice cream.

Nia.

Sweet little Nia,

you are becoming a...

what's the word?

Loser.

And you're young,

you're vibrant,

but if you sit on this couch,

crying over that weird little

man for one more minute,

you gonna develop

permanent mope face.

I am not moping over...

Barney. I just had

a long day.

So, you need

an even longer night.

Come on.

You going out with me.

I'm meeting my boyfriend

at the club, and

I want you to meet him too.

Wait. I didn't know you were

seeing anyone.

Where'd you meet him?

We've been together

for three weeks.

And we met on Upswipz.

Yvette.

"Loves sunsets,

yachting, and hanging out

with my BFF Dreamer?"

How often do you hang out

with your "BFF Dreamer?"

She waved at me once.

That counts as a hey.

Besides, everybody

embellishes on those things.

-[cell phone rings]

-It's Angus.

[sighs] He says

he cannot wait to meet me.

Wait, you haven't met him yet?

Well, not physically,

but emotionally, it's like

we've been together forever.

Now get dressed.

Okay... all right.

-So, you've never

played 8-Ball?

-What!

[scoffs] Are you kidding me?

I'm from Midvale.

-We have pool halls

on every corner, okay?

-Okay?

Okay, fine.

Maybe I've only played it

once in my life.

Okay, well, then we'll take it

one shot at a time.

For you.

Oh, 'cause you're such

a pool shark?

Oh, yeah. I'm not that bad.

All right.

All right.

Let's just take it nice

and soft.

[chuckles]

-Beginner's luck?

-[laughs]

[upbeat club music blaring]

Ooh! I can't wait to dance

with my man.

I have to go to

the bathroom.

Don't take too long,

Angus will be here any minute.

You know, I was gonna ask

if I can buy you a drink,

but I assume Angus

has already spoken for you?

He sure has.

Loud and clear.

And I just missed

a text message from him.

Ah, he wants me

to meet him outside.

Excuse me.

Angus?

An...

-You leaving early tonight?

-Yeah.

That place is way too crowded.

-Did you find your boyfriend?

-No, he'll be here in a minute.

Oh.

He should have suggested that

you meet at sunset.

What?

You favorite time of day...

is on a yacht

at sunset.

At least that's what

you told me

in our first Upswipz chat.

And I don't think

you'd lie to me.

Would you do that?

[electrical buzzing]

[gasps]

Yvette?

[Nia] Are you okay?

Oh, my God,

what happened to you?

Angus.

Your boyfriend did this to you?

He only pretended to like me.

He targeted me

so I can give this message

to Dreamer.

[paper rustling]

"The world doesn't want

a trans superhero.

So crawl back under

the rock you came from...

came from, or I'll keep

attacking people like you."

Our profiler put together

this sketch

based on your statement.

Is this the guy?

-Yeah, that's him.

-Thank you.

Now, we're still going over

security footage, and

questioning other patrons

but, please,

do not hesitate to call

if you remember anything

that may help us.

Okay?

I'll show you out.

I'm gonna go lie down.

-Thanks.

-Yeah.

Nia? Nia?

Nia, thank goodness.

Are you okay?

Is Yvette?

Why didn't you call me

last night?

-I would have been there--

-Yvette wanted to be alone.

She's not just hurt

and humiliated,

she's heartbroken.

She thought this guy

really liked her.

And he was just targeting her

because she was trans.

He was trying to use her

to get to Dreamer.

What did he want with Dreamer?

He wants me to stop

being a superhero.

He's going after my community

to bully me into it.

Listen to me, Nia, listen.

We will find this guy.

Yeah, we will.

And when we do,

I'll bury him.

Nia?

Look, I...

[sighs] I know this is

a personal attack,

but you have to trust that

when we find this guy the cops

are gonna put him behind bars.

Kara, I love you, but do not

tell me what I can

and can't do right now.

There is no catching this guy

and redeeming him.

There is no hope speech

that can make this better.

-Nia...

-No.

Look, my community

is vulnerable.

This happens more than

you could possibly know.

And there are guys just like

this jerk out there

who want to hurt us.

They want us to hide

and to be afraid

to be who we are.

They wants us to disappear,

and it happens...

-every day.

-I know,

and what this guy did

is horrible--

He's not the first,

and he won't be the last.

And we haven't exactly been

a priority for the cops.

So, just trust me when I say

that I am the one

protecting this community.

And now this bastard

is going after

my community,

trying to erase me?

No.

No, this guy is over.

Look, I know that

you're hurting right now,

and I will never

fully understand.

But, between us and the cops,

we will make sure

justice is served.

Nia?

Just give us a chance.

Fine.

A few hours.

But then,

I'm doing this my way.

[laser firing]

[explosion]

I said shield!

[grunts]

Alex, the Martian DNA

in your weapon

will code itself to your

bio-electric pulses

allowing you to morph it

with a single thought.

But you have to let it in.

Yeah. Okay, Ollivander.

Is there any kind of

instruction manual

for this thing?

I'm afraid not.

It's instinctual.

Trust the weapon,

and it will trust you.

How am I supposed to trust this

if it keeps changing on me?

All right. Look,

I know things have been

difficult for you

since leaving the DEO.

Life can be challenging

when there's no clear path.

Oh, no, no.

I have a clear path.

Okay, it's stop Lex Luthor

from traipsing around the world

just cashing in on the goodwill

that he never earned,

and get my life back.

Now, let's do it again.

-[alarm buzzing]

-What is that?

J'onn, Alex, thanks for

seeing me this late.

No problem, Al.

My brother Trevor's missing.

He lives in my basement, but

I haven't seen him

for about a week.

Did you file a police report?

I did... but then the cops

found this on his computer.

[J'onn J'onzz] An invitation

to a weekend

escape experience

at Obsidian Platinum's

Virtual Las Vegas.

Invite says to get

a hotel room.

So, no disturbances could

pull the players away from

their virtual experience.

So the cops don't think that

he's missing. They think that

he's in some VR party binge.

Right. But that was a week ago.

Look, I'm telling you

this is not like Trevor at all.

Al, do you mind taking me

to your house?

I'd like to take a look around,

see what I can find.

And Kelly works for

Obsidian North, so she can

get me into Virtual Vegas.

And if there's a chance

that Trevor is in there,

then I will find him,

and he can tell me

where he is in the real world.

I really appreciate this.

Hey, no problem, Al.

[cell phone buzzing]

Kara Danvers.

I hope this is important,

I'm very busy.

It is. It's about...

-Dreamer.

-Yes.

I just saw the coverage

of her victory over

the Dominator.

No, it's not that.

She needs our help.

There's an attacker targeting

the trans community

trying to get Dreamer

to take her cape off.

That's awful.

I mean... it is only logical

that violence begets concern.

Listen, I know

this guy's human,

but can you help me track him?

Consider it done.

So, the last thing that Al

knows is that his brother

checked himself in

to some hotel who knows where,

and that he met up with

some friends at a place

called the Escape Palace?

Yeah, located somewhere

in Virtual Las Vegas.

We figured that Trevor

must have paid cash

for his room,

because there's no paper trail

of him anywhere.

So, I was thinking maybe

I could go into

Virtual Las Vegas, and just

-see what I could find.

-Okay.

Now, these lenses

are very different

than the original.

Okay?

Obsidian Platinum doesn't just

utilize the brain link,

it connects to your biology.

Which means what exactly?

So, in this version,

you're not just

seeing virtual reality,

you're feeling it.

Cold will feel cold,

hot will feel hot,

everything will feel real.

So, once you're in,

you'll be in,

what looks like a lobby.

There you will select

your desired experience.

You will see a panel

of virtual options,

mined from your own

thoughts and desires.

Virtual Las Vegas

is one of these.

Okay, so what happens

when I get inside?

What are the rules?

That's the difference between

reality, and virtual reality.

Inside Obsidian Platinum

there are no rules.

Great. Sounds easy.

You'll get the hang of it.

I promise.

Just remember, if you need

to come out, say

"End simulation."

And if, for some reason,

it gets too intense in there

and you can't say that,

the program will launch

your failsafe button.

You can't miss it.

Just touch it,

and you will be pulled out.

And I'll be able

to communicate with you?

The whole time.

Okay, well...

bottom's up. [sighs]

I'm in.

Good. You should see

your experience options.

[VR dings]

Yeah, I do.

Did you find Virtual Las Vegas?

[stammers] Yeah, I got it.

Hang on.

There it is.

Vegas, baby...

Vegas.

[big band jazz music playing]

Well, I know where I can go

to find the Siegfried and Roy

interactive experience.

No, thank you, but

where am I gonna find

this Escape House?

Talk to

the users inside.

Someone must know

where it is.

But stay away from the people

with three lines

on their necks,

-those are NPCs.

-What ae NPCs?

Non-Player Characters.

AIs who populate the world,

not actual users.

-They won't know much.

-Okay.

[J'onn J'onzz] He said he

was meeting with some

virtual friends in VR?

[Al] Yeah, but I don't know

who they are.

I don't even know

their avatar names.

Well, let's see

what we can find.

[sighs]

I just don't understand.

When Trevor and I first came

to this planet together,

we were inseparable.

But, for the last few months,

all he does

is retreat into VR.

[computer beeps]

What is it?

I managed to track down the

user names of two of Trevor's

virtual friends.

We can get these to Kelly

at Obsidian North,

maybe she can help us

find out who they are.

That way maybe we could

maybe find Trevor.

Look, Al, do you have

anything personal of Trevor's?

Something with an emotional

connection that

I could maybe use

to psychically trace him.

I gave this to Trevor

to mark our first year

on Earth.

He wore it every day.

Till he switched to

a smart watch.

Thanks, man.

Hey, look,

we're gonna find him.

[big band jazz music resumes]

Oh.

Hey, you think

real Vegas buffets

are intense,

you need to try the

all you can eat to get you to

he perfect state of fullness.

No matter how much you eat,

you feel great.

I'll keep that in mind

for the next time. Thank you.

You wouldn't happen to know

where I can find a place called

the Escape Palace, do you?

Escape Palace?

You mean that

spooky looking joint

up on the hill?

Ridiculous add-on

if you ask me.

They don't have hills like that

in the desert.

Right, uh... thanks.

-Sure thing, kid.

-[man] Hey, blue eyes,

bring me the lobster.

So many calories.

He's right.

That house is a recent add-on,

customized by a user.

Okay, so what does that mean?

Advanced users can

customize the virtual world,

but it takes time to catalogue

these additions in our system.

-So, I don't know what

we can expect.

-[exhales sharply]

Well, if Trevor's in there,

then I gotta check it out.

I'm going in.

-[loud bang]

-I don't like this.

Oh, my God.

This is just like when

Rick Malverne tried

to drown me.

Okay, the user who created

this palace

designed it to tap into

a player's worst fears.

That makes the experience

different for everyone.

And harder to escape.

But, this isn't real,

there's nothing to be

afraid of.

Help. We've been trapped

for days.

[Alex] Wait, you can talk?

End your simulation.

I can't.

It's part of the game.

Then the failsafe disappeared.

What? I reported that glitch

months ago.

Somebody must have hacked it.

Alex, you need to get them

out of there.

If they've been tortured

for days, there could be

serious repercussions.

I thought you said

this wasn't real?

But they think it is,

and with Obsidian Platinum,

it feels real.

This is why we have a failsafe.

-It's encoded

with a biometric--

-Okay, Kelly,

just in English.

What are you saying?

If you don't break through

those tanks right now,

they could suffer brain damage.

Okay.

All right.

[thuds]

[glass shattering]

-[thuds]

You did it.

Okay, now give me the names

and locations, so I can send

teams in to eject them.

Tell your teams to hurry.

On it. I'm gonna figure out

why the failsafe

didn't trigger.

Listen, I'm gonna

get you guys out of here.

But we're looking for a man

named Trevor Crane.

Have you seen him in here?

Trevor's done a bunch

of escape rooms with us.

He and the new guy Richard

solved the puzzle quickly

and made it through,

but that door slammed shut.

We were about to follow

when spiders suddenly started

crawling all over me.

And I hate spiders.

Whose idea was it to come

to this escape experience?

It was Richard's.

How well do you know him?

He's new to the group.

I need to get to him

before it's too late.

So, you're saying this

Richard person intentionally

dropped Trevor in VR?

It looks that way.

He's figured out

a glitch in the system

that prevents people from

safely ejecting.

Well, I followed the psychic

trail from Trevor's watch to

a house outside Opal City.

I'll let you know

what I find out.

Excuse me.

-Can I help you?

-I hope you can.

[electrical flashes]

Hi, Detective Rivers,

it's Nia Nal.

I wanted to see if there

was any updates on

Yvette's assault.

We're still reviewing

surveillance footage from the

club and surrounding businesses

and processing

the physical evidence.

So, you're saying

you're nowhere?

I can assure you,

I will do everything in

my power to catch him.

I appreciate that.

I gave you your chance.

Sorry, Kara.

Now it's time to do

everything in my power.

[beeps]

Come and get me.

Mrs. Bates, are you sure

you don't know Trevor Crane?

A number of leads

have led me to this address.

Perhaps he's using an alias?

No. Sorry.

Could he be a friend

of your spouse's?

No, I don't think I've

ever heard Richard mention him.

-Your husband's name

is Richard?

-Yes.

Jennifer, I'm gonna need you

to stop lying to me.

Right now, Trevor is trapped

in a high-level

virtual reality experience

by a man named Richard.

-Possibly being tortured.

-But that's not possible.

-So, you do know him?

-Yes.

Kind of.

We've been spending

some time together in VR.

-Like an affair?

-No.

I have never met him

in real life.

It's just harmless fun.

Does your husband know

about this...

harmless fun?

My husband can be a little...

possessive.

So, I do my thing in VR,

and he does his.

He's a computer engineer

in love with all

the technical details,

and me, I just want to

escape for a few hours.

Regardless, I need to

find Trevor and your husband

as soon as possible.

Or they could both suffer

permanent damage.

[Reiff] Director Dox?

I found over 200

social media groups,

and message boards,

all catering to

trans hate groups.

-They're on this drive.

-Thank you.

[computer beeps]

That will be all.

[exhales]

-It's no use.

-J'onn located Richard's wife.

Richard's a

computer programmer.

We think that he made

the escape experience

as a way to trap Trevor

because Trevor was having

a virtual affair with

Richard's wife.

Oh, you've got to be

kidding me.

I know, and I need to have

a conversation with Andrea

-about unintended uses

of Obsidian Platinum.

-All right.

Now, any ideas of how

I can get through this door?

If you concentrate hard enough,

you can override

Richard's program.

Bend it to your will,

not his.

-[door opens]

-I did it.

Kelly?

It is totally different

in here.

Kelly?

-Can you hear me?

-Alex?

Alex, are you there?

This shouldn't be possible,

but it looks like Richard

customized the room to block

remote monitoring.

Hello?

Trevor?

Okay.

I'm going in.

Maybe put Yvette's quote

at the top of the third graph.

Brilliant.

"Over 24 trans people have been

murdered in this country

in the past year."

The true number's

likely much higher.

Many of these attacks

go mis-reported

because victims are

misgendered in police reports.

Nia was so angry.

I get it,

this is so frustrating.

I wish we could

do more to help.

[cell phone buzzing]

Hang on.

Brainy, what's up?

I'm sending you

an Upswipz profile Nia created.

It appears she's trying to

lure out Yvette's attacker

by using herself as bait.

[sighs]

I'll talk to her,

and, Brainy,

thank you.

So, something came up,

-would you mind...

-Covering for you?

Of course.

[Nia typing]

You wanted Dreamer,

well, now you've got her.

Trevor Crane?

I'm Alex Danvers.

Your brother sent me.

[sighs] Oh, thank God.

It's happening again.

[whimpering] Stay back!

[Alex] What?

Please make it stop!

Okay, I don't understand,

just talk to me.

-Trevor?

-[explosion]

[gasping]

What the hell just happened?

I don't know.

At first, I thought

I was standing on

some kind of a land mine.

If I take a step,

I explode, but

standing still doesn't

work either. I still blow up.

It's random.

And the pain...

[voice breaking]

-it's horrible.

-Okay, just... focus.

Okay, where is Richard?

I don't know.

I think he planned

this whole thing.

Sometimes he shows up

just to watch me explode.

-It's happening again.

-No, you can fight this.

-You just have to--

-Look out.

[thuds]

End your simulation.

-I am not leaving here

without Trevor.

-Yeah?

Okay, well, then

I'm gonna show you

how real this can be.

'Cause this is my house!

And this is my gun.

-[gun fires]

-[loud gasp]

[breathing heavily]

You're not getting rid of me

that easily.

[thuds]

Easy, tiger.

[gasping]

Are you okay?

[crackling]

Get back.

I can't control it.

No, no, I'm not going anywhere.

And you can control this,

Trevor. You need to

will it to stop.

All right,

you make the rules now.

Come on.

That's it.

That's it. [claps]

You got this.

-It worked.

-Yeah.

-You were right.

-I knew you could do it.

All right, listen to me.

Give me your location.

I will go out

and I will get help.

I'm at the National City Grand.

-Room 315.

-Okay, you just hang on

and you try to stay calm.

End simulation.

[sighs]

Alex, I couldn't reach you.

What happened in there?

I just fought Richard,

blasted him clean out of VR.

But how?

That shouldn't be possible.

We'll figure that out later.

I found Trevor.

I'm gonna call J'onn

and give him his address.

No, I'll get him.

But I need you to send

a paramedics to

the Coastline Motel.

Room 10.

[loud thud]

-Looking for me?

-[cheeky laugh]

You weren't supposed

to be here.

Got something you wanna say?

Yeah.

I don't think

you're the right kind

of role model.

-That's not for you

to decide.

-Well,

somebody has to stand up

to you people.

You stand up by hiding behind

a fake name online?

And by attacking

innocent people?

It worked, didn't it?

[grunts]

[thuds]

-You make me sick.

-No, you make me sick,

you twisted freak!

You show up on the scene

one day tricking dudes

into thinking that

you're this hot new superhero.

The girl next door,

but heroes are supposed to

be virtuous,

and honest, and here you are

lying!

I get it.

Your fragile ego

was just shattered.

Your sense of self

is so shaky,

that anything outside

your narrow world view

threatens it.

[Supergirl] Dreamer, don't.

Stay out of this.

This is my fight!

And you won.

Look at him.

Don't let him turn you

into something you're not.

Why should he get to live?

If you do this, you will take

a piece of his darkness and

carry it with you forever.

When you put that suit on,

you became a symbol.

You give people hope.

Don't let them down

by stooping to his level.

Now, please, let's just

turn him in

and make sure

he faces justice.

You can't promise

that'll happen.

No, I can't.

And I understand...

You feel like you're

the only one protecting

your community,

but you're not alone.

You have me.

And Alex and J'onn and, yes,

even Brainy

in his heart of hearts.

And maybe we all

should have opened

our eyes to the realities

that your and your community

face every day.

But now we have.

And now we will all have

our eyes open

for people like him.

[Dreamer grunts]

You are going to prison

-for a long time.

-[breathing heavily]

And when you're out,

I will be watching you.

And if you ever

make a move against anyone

in my community again,

I will give you a nightmare

you will never

wake up from.

Nia?

[Nia whimpering]

Hey. Hey. It's okay.

Kara, I almost murdered

someone tonight...

[crying] and I still

kind of want to.

I know.

I don't wanna be a killer,

but...

Kara, I'm not okay.

I am so overwhelmed.

And this guy

just triggered everything.

I had a dream flash

right before Yvette

was attacked and

I couldn't interpret it.

I couldn't save Yvette,

just like I couldn't

save my mom.

I couldn't stop that guy

and my

powers are mixed up

and unpredictable!

And I...

And the one person

who supported me

from day one,

who was always by my side,

who saw me

for who I am, and...

looked at me like

I was beautiful.

It just broke my heart.

And I don't even know why.

I wish I had answers for you.

I'm so sorry.

[whimpering]

When that bastard

attacked my community,

the one thing

it felt like I had left...

I snapped.

At least this was something

I could control.

I could find this guy

and stop him.

Permanently.

I could do something

to protect

someone.

I felt that kind of

pressure before.

That anger...

but I wasn't looking at things

through your eyes

and your experiences...

And I'm so sorry.

And I know, I know,

sometimes

being the good guy sucks.

Especially when you know

how easy it would be

to just get rid of

someone so vile

and full of hate.

But, hey,

not doing that...

that is what makes us

different from them.

That's what let's us

keep protecting people,

and your community needs you.

They need Dreamer.

And I'm so sorry. I didn't know

how much pain you were in.

-[sobbing]

-Oh!

[Kelly] Okay,

relationship talk.

Let's decide right now

that any virtual romance

is cheating.

-Deal.

-Yeah.

Also, virtual torture,

that is definitely real

attempted murder.

Yeah. There are a lot

of open questions

about ethics and morality

in the virtual world.

You okay?

I do truly believe that

what we're...

What I am doing at

Obsidian North can help people.

I just, I feel so guilty

and angry that someone would

take advantage of our

technology like that.

Use our tools as a weapon?

Maybe there should be some

regulations on who can use

Obsidian Platinum.

I agree.

But I flagged that glitch

months ago,

and I was promised that

it was taken care of.

[door closes]

Alex?

Trevor.

Hey, it's...

It's so good to see you out.

I'm so glad that you're okay.

I really wanted to meet you

in the real world,

to thank you.

You saved my life.

Wanna have a drink?

-Yeah.

-Yeah.

-This is Kelly.

-Hi.

-Hi.

-She's kind of

part of it, too.

We don't have to worry

about that creep anymore.

He's going to prison

for a long time.

What are you doing?

Deleting my Upswipz account.

And all social media accounts.

Yvette, you can't do that.

I have had it

with putting myself out there.

Making myself an easy target.

I'm done.

He was just one bad person.

You can

tell yourself that, Nia,

like I did,

but I should have known better.

I'm a trans woman of color.

Okay, I know what

we're up against.

I wanted Angus

so badly to be real.

For someone to care about me,

to get me, to adore me.

-It never got to be true.

-It will be.

You will find that kind

of love, Yvette, but not

if you shut down.

They want us to be invisible...

because of their own fears.

They want to erase us

so we need to shine

even brighter.

You are a beautiful woman.

Big beautiful life,

and sharing that life

is what will change this world.

[Brainy]

The bigot you arrested,

Gregory Bauer,

belongs to an online hate group

specifically targeting

the trans community.

I took the liberty

of identifying its users.

The group boasts about

future attacks and

takes credit for others.

I believe you will find

some leads to

your cold cases in there.

I... I don't know

what to say.

The DEO takes threats

against our sister superheroes

very seriously.

[Alex] Ready for another round?

[sighs] Come on!

I can make you do anything

in the virtual world!

But that wasn't

your real weapon, Alex.

You have to give it time

to bond to you.

Let's do this again tomorrow.

J'onn, really?

[cell phone buzzing]

Mom, hey.

What's wrong?

Alex?

What is it?

Mom just called me.

They found Dad.

Jeremiah?

[slow pop song playing]

He's dead.

[heart rate monitor beeps]

There you go, Mr. Bates,

you just rest easy.

I've got you now.
