We are still picking up our jaws from that incredible performance tonight! Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor was the smartest, yet most manipulative we've ever seen the character! It is impossible to not think that Lex has been controlling things from behind the scenes for a long time! He is just too good at it! From the looks of next week's episode, we are going to get to see just how Lex has been doing that as well as get a glimpse at his secret weapon! His "bended Kryptonian"! Check out the trailer for next week's all new episode of Supergirl below:

Tonight was a momentous occasion! The world's most infamous super-villain made his debut on Supergirl and his impact was huge! Jon Cryer did the talk show circuit last week and spoke about how playing the character would be an interesting challenge for him. Traditionally, the character of Lex wasn't someone well liked but Jon Cryer's acting skills as well as his history ... well he's simply a likable guy. The showrunners wanted to explore what a sociopath would be like if he could wield likability as a weapon! Did that come across to you as well? Of course Lex wasn't the only thing that happened today, here's what stood out to us:

1. Lex Luthor is Dying: After a very interesting flashback four years ago (where Lex turned the sun red to kill Superman and was caught), we catch up to Lex visiting Lena. He is dying and needs Black Kryptonite to be cured from his disease. Lena seems to be much more willing to help Lex despite his insanity. He's held up in the mansion under lock and key and with two guards at all times.
2. James at the Hospital: Whoever shot James knew he had the signal watch and didn't want him to die. The shooting activates the watch before leaving. Supergirl is able to get to him in time and take him to the hospital. Lena, Alex, J'onn, Brainy, Kara and Nia are all called in. J'onn assumes Manchester shot James and scans for him. Supergirl and J'onn head off to confront him even though he now has the staff from season 3 that Supergirl used on Mars.
3. Lena and Lex Have Been Working Together: Lena returns from the hospital after talking with Alex. They realize how bad the situation is and that it might be only Lena's cure that could save James and Lex. Lex has more knowledge about Kryptonite than anyone.
4. Manchester Seeks Martian Vengence: J'onn has opened his mind to Manchester by accident when hunting for him. As a result, Manchester is learning new tricks to help him. Manchester knows that on Mars, the god there would sometimes use violence to enforce a moral law. With the Staff from Mars, Manchester's next move might come from the sacred texts of Mars that J'onn must now search through.
5. Surgery: Kelly, James' sister, decides not to bet on Lena but to let the doctors begin the surgery that is needed to save his life despite it being likely he will be paralyzed. Lex continues to be a loving and kind brother working with Lena. After sharing a lovely story about Lena's mother, he reminds Lena that she will continue to land on the side of the light. He then encourages her to go be by "Jimmy's" side.
6. Attack on The Power Plant: Just about everyone has returned to the hospital when the power starts to fluctuate. Without power, James' surgery is almost 100% going to fail. In order to get the power back, J'onn and Supergirl head to the power plant where Manchester is waiting to call out J'onn yet again! After Manchester enrages J'onn by making him relive the death of his family on Mars, J'onn takes the staff back from him and stabs him in the chest. Of course, we don't think that is the end of Manchester but we aren't clear what happened to him.
7. James is Saved: Lena's cure is administered to James in a last minute effort to save his life. Kelly trusts Alex and gives the go-ahead. Lena, after throwing out the entire surgical team, steps in and gives the cure to James. He shortly later wakes up gasping for breath!

Lex Luthor reveals that he ended up pulling all of the strings! The power outage at the hospital, Ms. Tessmacher being under his employ, Otis being alive! All of it was so Lex could be cured. He even orchestrated James being shot to motivate Lena to test on a human. The episode ends with Lex and Otis in a helicopter and Supergirl arriving in air to meet them.

We've seen some pretty rage-filled moments from Lex in the extended trailer for his appearance tonight. But in this all new sneak peek at tonight's new episode, we are seeing a Lex Luthor that is much more humble and perhaps more manipulative? See Jon Cryer's Lex Luthor share a touching and twisting story about his dog when he was seven years old. Watch Lena react to him and listen how Lex is able to break down Lena's defenses with a simple story about a dog and turn it into a story of her real mother! Check it out below:

It sounds like an Olsen/Danvers ship is set to sail in Supergirl season 5, but not the James/Kara variety! TVLine.com has learned that Azie Tesfai, who we'll get our first glimpse at on Sunday as James’ sister Kelly Olsen, will be a full-time series regular next season. We've been reading the tea leaves on this and had this is our rumor/spoiler section for awhile, but we are finally going to see this new romance come to blossom. How Alex and Kelly will meet, what makes the sparks fly and what will keep Kelly in National City is not yet known but we'll get a great first look Sunday!
