Phantom Menaces Recap
4/13/2021 7:00 pm
Three of seven, and no we aren't talking about a Star Trek Borg. Tonight we got to enjoy the third episode of the final season and of the first seven-episode run which writers have noted carries with it its own mini story arc. Last week's episode didn't do very well in the polls. For the first time ever we've seen a two-star rating hit second place. Curious what people didn't enjoy about last week. Setting that aside, we are excited to see if Kara will meet new allies in the Phantom Zone. Did Team Supergirl catch the escaped Phantom? Let's find out, here's what stood out to us:
- New Allies: The Martians head to check on Silas and find out that there is a Phantom on the loose. In the Phantom Zone, Supergirl and Zor-El head to ride the portal that the Phantoms use. They travel the portal but Supergirl is injured. A group of unknown Phantom dwellers capture Zor-El and Supergirl is left behind in the care of Nyxly. Alex watches the monologue that Kara recorded before she died. Alex is lost not having Kara around. The Luthors gather to have a power struggle. Lex wants control of his company back. Lena has locked him out but Lex has the new DA on his side and Lena will take a court order to undo the lock out. Back at the hero fortress, Silas is turned into a Phantom.
- Hunt for Phantoms: Silas may have affected his roommates so the team goes to hunt them down. Supergirl and Nyxly get better acquainted but discover that the group that has Zor-El are going to sacrifice Zor-El. Lena asks Brainy to put up blockers for Lex and they donate a large sum of his money to a hospital. M'gann is infected by a Phantom and now she might turn into one. Her Martian physiology makes her more easily turned.
- Princess: Nyxly has been sent to the Phantom Zone so that her father can remain in power. Lex discovers that Lena has drained his accounts. To get back at Lena, Lex sets fire to the Children's hospital that she donated Lex's funds to. He blames Lena for the faulty wiring in the upgrades to the new wing. In the Phantom Zone, Nyxly somehow regains her magic.
- Magic and Rage: The confidence that Kara has given Nyxly seems to have reactivated her powers. She now has the powers that Mxyzptlk has. They set out to save Zor-El. Lena and Brainy share a rage at how difficult Lex is as an opponent. They both are missing Kara deeply. M'Gann's prognosis is getting worse, all that she is will soon be lost as J'onn and Alex share a moment in the medical bay. J'onn will give what little he has of M'Gann in him to save her soul.
- Soul Transfusion: All of Team Supergirl gather in the medical bay to save M'Gann. Phantoms arrive to upset the process so Lena, Alex and Brainy go to defend while J'onn and Kelley do the transfer. The procedure is a success and M'Gann is saved.
In the final wrap up moments, Lena announces that she is leaving Luthor Corp. Fighting with Lex keeps her contained. Leaving sets her free and Lex is not pleased. J'onn and M'Gann share a sweet moment on the balcony. Alex goes to thank Kelley for being her rock. The couple decide to move in together. Nyxly and Kara are able to save Zor-El and the three begin to look for a way out.

Good morning/afternoon Supergirl fans! Today we are looking ahead to episode four of the final season, "Lost Souls". In 15 new images for the episode we are seeing some striking things to note. First of all it looks like our doubled Martian powers are remaining as M'gann is again featured in the gallery! Double the Martians we say. Brainy and Nia go on a Ghostbuster like adventure? At least that's what we are reminded of when we see Brainy holding his Phantom hunter gun, and finally, in the Phantom Zone, we are getting our first looks at Nyxly. Better than the cave they've been in, where ever they find Nyxly has walls and that is a lot better then where they've been. Check out the gallery below:

Peta Sergeant Cast as Nyxly
4/9/2021 3:04 pm
Well it turns out that today is a multiple news article kind of day! In addition to the plot synopsis for why we are going back to Midvale and what happens there, we are also learning today, via Deadline.com, that Peta Sergeant has been cast to play a fifth dimentional imp like Mzyxptlk but trapped in the Phatom Zone! Some of you have pointed out that Thomas Lennon, who played Mxyztplk in the 100th episode was also recently seen on set and with Peta. This could suggest that there are multiple episodes with the imps and that Nyxly will play a pivitol part in getting Kara back to Earth. The character is described as:
A quirky and kind 5th Dimensional Imp, wrongly imprisoned in the Phantom Zone and driven by tragic backstory. She helps Kara when she least expects it, and their budding friendship not only heals some of Nyxly’s emotional pain, but helps Nyxly reclaim her own power.

Prom Night! Synopsis
4/9/2021 2:44 pm
"Midvale" the episode remains in our top five episodes of Supergirl for all time. I think a lot of you feel that way too. So the fact that we are going to get to go back to Midvale and not only have one episode with young Kara and young Alex but also enjoy a young Cat Grant aspect to it is simply amazing! But this isn't just a throwaway episode. Apparently this will play a major part in getting Kara out of the Phantom Zone! So spoiler alert already, the way out that Kara finds in the previous episode doesn't seem to pan out. But looking ahead to episode five of the final season, Brainy and Nia are going to have to time travel back to young Kara to get an artifact that will help pull her from the terrible hell Phantom Zone. Check out the full synopsis below:
THE FLASHBACK TO MIDVALE INTRODUCES A YOUNG CAT GRANT – Nia (Nicole Maines) and Brainy (Jesse Rath) attempt to save Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) from the Phantom Zone by time traveling back to Kara’s home in 2009. While determined to secure the item needed to help Supergirl, Brainy is worried about keeping a low profile so as not to alter the future timeline. However, when their ship crashes upon arrival, a young Kara Danvers (guest star Izabela Vidovic) is the first on the scene. Meanwhile, a young reporter named Cat Grant (guest star Eliza Helm) sets her sights on Midvale as she suspects there is a big story in the small town. Alexandra LaRoche directed the episode written by Rob Wright & Jess Kardos (#605). Original airdate 4/27/2021.

Lost Souls Synopsis
4/7/2021 7:36 pm
We are off to the races! The first seven episodes of Supergirl are underway and today we are looking ahead to episode four of the sixth and final season. We are noticing a pattern with the titles, they all seem to fit into The Phantom Zone somehow. With the Easter Egg last night of Midvale High School, there are already references to the flashback episodes as well! While we believe this to be a red herring, the synopsis for "Lost Souls" hints that Supergirl finds a way out of The Phantom Zone. For us, the question is, will she take it and what are the circumstances if she does? Check out the full synopsis below:
SUPERGIRL FINDS A WAY HOME – Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) finds an opportunity to escape from the Phantom Zone but it comes with some dangerous strings attached. Meanwhile, Lena (Katie McGrath) joins the Super Friends on a mission but finds she disagrees with their plan of action against the Phantoms and wonders if she is truly ready to be a part of the team. Alysse Leite-Rogers directed the episode written by Karen E. Maser & Nicki Holcomb (#604). Original airdate 4/20/2021.
