We’ve seen it, and by all rights, we should see more of it.Īnd, honestly? As a final image for the season, I can’t ask for a lot more than Kara and Lena joining hands on the promise of taking down Lex.īatwoman Episode 20 Review: O, Mouse! By Delia Harrington She’s maybe not a hero the way Kara is, and maybe her path will, of necessity be one that’s a shade or two darker than her friend’s But, she can both choose and do good. The intercutting of Kara’s standard hero speech about hope and the power of real connection to the folks refusing to exit the Obsidian Tech virtual world with Lena’s plea to Andrea to choose her better angels was masterfully done, and honestly something that gives me a lot of hope for where the show will take this character in future. Do I think it’s on a better path now? Yes, and I’m willing to follow and see where their story goes next. Do I 100% think that Supergirl understands precisely how poorly this storyline was handled? Probably not. But they should be allowed to struggled toward something that looks like progress, and not be stuck on an endless wheel of secrets and the same constantly repeated argument. Things ought to be a little rocky between them, for a time. Obviously, that’s difficult – and it should be.

Supergirl displays the faith in Lena’s character – and in the Supercorp friendship – that it should have had all season, finally allowing us to see the two women try to work through their differences in action as well as in word. Lena has every right to be hurt over the things Kara kept from her, but her self-awareness over the mistakes that hurt drove her to? That’s growth.

It’s incredibly refreshing to watch the two women simply talk, acknowledge that they both had made mistakes, hurt one another and reacted poorly. We’ve been waiting for months for any real development on the Supercorp front, because far too much of this season has been dedicated to keeping them at odds with one another for plot-based reasons rather than character ones.

The biggest reason that this episode feels like such a breath of fresh air is that Supergirlfinally allows the emotional standoff between Kara and Lena to thaw, through the simple act of letting the two of them have an honest conversation free of ulterior motives. It doesn’t hurt that this is the show’s best and most complete episode in a while, moving the overall plot forward and giving several major – and sadly neglected – characters a scene or two to shine. Yet, much like both The Flash and Batwoman’s similarly early season enders, it really ends up working as one almost in spite of itself. “Immortal Kombat” wasn’t supposed to be the finale of Supergirl Season 5.
