Tonight David Harewood took over the show in a completely different way. He sat behind the camera as the director! This marks the first time that an actor on the show has directed an episode of Supergirl. This episode, being the fourth remaining in a very intense season, David worked his magic along with Nicole Maines, Chyler Leigh, Mehcad Brooks, Melissa Benoist and the other cast and crew of course. While Supergirl was laying low, Kara used her powers as a reporter to try and clear her alter-ego's name. Besides David's "Money" magic, here's what stood out to us:

1. Dreamer Makes Her Presence Known: While Supergirl is laying low and working on clearing her name, Dreamer has stepped in with Brainy's help. Brainy is concerned that Dreamer and he will be caught but Dreamer is persistent in her desire to cover for Supergirl. Kara was using the office all night to create a crime board for finding Lex. Thus far, Kara hasn't been able to track Lex down, but she has a lead through Ameritech.
2. Children of Liberty Are Deputized: Lockwood and his Children of Liberty are starting to use their new authorities to round up Aliens and pull them right out of their homes. Lockwood's son shows some trepidation but Lockwood assigns him to go with another Children of Liberty Agent to continue his training.
3. James' Mind Palace: While in James' mind palace, Brainy takes James through several memories to try and help him gain control of his powers. He actually visits the Daily Planet but James' memories are in such a state that Brainy is having trouble keeping them aligned. James ends up shooting heat vision out of his eyes when under that level of stress. One of the memories was of James at his father's funeral but he didn't make it. He claims to have been locked in a bathroom across the street. This triggers Kelly's memories as well because she remembers being alone when she needed her big brother the most. Alex and Kelly share a sweet moment together bonding sharing the burdens of being a sister.
4. Dreamer Discovers An Alien Refuge in the Bar: The Children of Liberty arrive at the alien bar to take all of the aliens in. Dreamer just arrives in time to stop the attack. After being able to fend off many of the attackers, Dreamer turns to the bar owner who notes that she may have stopped them this time, but no where is safe for aliens to go. During the raid, Ben Lockwood's son runs into his friend who he doesn't realize was an alien. He starts to question Lockwood's message.
5. James Remembers: James was at the funeral but he was early. He was asked to leave before the funeral began. While he was outside, he was chased down by two bullies and trapped in a coffen. On the day of his dad's funeral he was trapped. Brainy loses connection with James and Kelly goes in after him. The two meet at the pivotal memory where James found the courage to change the narrative in his own mind. He defeated his trauma and was able to free his youngerself from the coffen. When he awakes, he is floating off the bed!
6. Kara Interviews Dreamer: Kara remembers that the way to fight against oppression is to inspire hope. She goes on live TV with Dreamer to reveal that she is both an alien and an American. She is both human and alien and she is a trans-woman. She goes on to tell tons of nerdy details like she is Griffendor, House Stark, loves s'mores. The reaction to the report is to inspire those who are watching! Even Lena feels the power of the report. Brainy tells her that she needs to open more doors and trust.
7. Catco Battle: Lockwood arrives at Catco to take Dreamer down. Alex cuts the power to Catco giving Supergirl and Dreamer the ability to take out all of the Agents of Liberty without being detected. Brainy joins the fight as well. More agents arrive and Ben goes mad after Dreamer. As he rounds the corner, James is there. He crushes the gun Ben was holding with his new powers! James then is able to kick them out of Catco!

In the final wrap up moments, Kara's source at Ameritech is inspired by what Dreamer did. She gives Kara the papers she needs and is willing to go on record. Lena and Kara find a time to reconcile on the balcony at Catco. Lena let's Kara know she was willingly working with Lex. She agreed to work with him because he had cancer. Lena was so scared of that fact that she didn't allow Kara to be there for her. Kara then gives her a hug and reassures her that giving help is not a judgable offense. George Lockwood turns his back on his father's ideals in a short scene where he destroy's the Agent of Liberty mask. Lena and Kara working together on the Lex case find out they have to go to Kasnia to find Lex. In the last moments of the episode, the woman who had her husband forcibly taken from her shows up at the Lockwood home and murders Lydia Lockwood! J'onn completes his mission on Mars and returns the knowledge of the Martian Religion to Mars where it will be safe.

A final note on the directorial debut of David Harewood, we certainly don't feel qualified on how to provide a ranking or feedback on directing. We don't even know where to begin. That said, there were some very powerful moments where Mehcad brought a ton of emotion to screen. The scene between Lena and Kara on the balcony was another example of very real and raw emotion as well as Alex and Kelly's moment caring for James. We think a lot of what the actors were able to do must have come from the direction David gave. We hope he enjoyed the director's chair and wish to see him behind the camera again (so long as we don't lose our J'onn J'onzz)!

There are only four episodes remaining of Supergirl this season and each one has a special aspect to it! Before we dive into the last two episodes, let us first remind everyone that Space Dad himself, David Harewood, directed next week's episode 419 "American Dreamer". In addition, episode 420 features the first writing credit for previous-journalist, Natalie Abrams who covered the Arrowverse for Entertainement Weekly. Her episode is titled "Will The Real Miss Tessmacher Please Stand Up". Today, TVLine.com featured some previews for the upcoming season finales across network television and Supergirl was among them! The pre-finale description states:

Lex remains in control of everything as we hurtle toward Supergirl’s fourth season ender, but how long can he count on Red Daughter to do his bidding? “She’s surprisingly intrigued by [Kara], which puts her in a difficult position,” co-showrunner Robert Rovner says. “She doesn’t realize how she’s been indoctrinated.” The same could be asked of Agent Liberty, who’s also “unaware of the extent to which his strings are being pulled.” Elsewhere, Alex and Kelly’s “friendship will continue to grow,” Brainy will seize an unexpected “moment of heroism,” James will struggle to locate “the root of his trauma,” Nia and Brainy’s slow-burning courtship will become a “journey that continues through the end of the season” and J’onn’s mission to Mars will allow him to “come back fully in control as the kind of hero he left the DEO to be

As for the finale, this was what they added:

The episode — titled “The Quest for Peace,” as a nod to Jon Cryer’s appearance in Superman IV — promises to “answer all the questions of the season and brings everything that has happened to a satisfying end.” Co-showrunner Jessica Queller says fans should also be “very excited to see the whole Luthor family together.
