This is the episode that the Supergirl.tv staff has been the most excited about since we learned about its existence for season 3. It's a flashback episode to Midvale High that explores the origin story of how the greatest sister duo became who they are today! Because Alex is a character completely unique to the Supergirl TV show, this origin story has so much room to explore! It's a story with no history behind it which is one of the reasons why we are just so excited for it! As you know, it also welcomes new Kara and Alex actors, Izabela Vidovic and Olivia Nikkanen respectively! Here's what the synopsis has to say:

ESCAPE DOWN MEMORY LANE — Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Alex (Chyler Leigh) head home to Midvale for a little R&R. While there, Kara recalls a painful memory of a childhood friend’s death and how that traumatic experience brought the Danver sisters closer together. Izabela Vidovic plays Young Kara and Olivia Nikkanen plays Young Alex in flashbacks. Rob Greenlea directed the episode written by Caitlin Parrish and Jess Kardos

Quoting Nikki:

Who wants to bet Kara once dated the High School mascot, Comet?

Oh Rao, do you REALLY think they'd go THERE?

I wish there was a Midvale prequel series spinoff based on this.

Van, seeing as how with a little make-up and hair, Izabela Vidovic becomes like Melissa/Kara, I was thinking of a streaming only series based on the comic book series Being Super which looks at Kara before becoming Supergirl...kind of like Smallville. And yes the alternative title can be Midvale.

I had a similar idea of of another flashback episode based on the Being Super comics storyline. Streaming-only series? I can think of CW Seed.

I am really really looking forward to this episode. I love the writers this season for giving us these Danvers sister moments back again. I've been pleased with all the episodes so far and feel that Season 3 is off to a great start. Most of all we get to see what happened that created that strong unshakeable bond that exist between the two sisters. I love this show

Yes Yes YES to sister moments being back!

I'm expecting some excellent dramatic work in this one, since the ep's directed by Rob Greenlea (who did "Alex" last season). Still curious whther the Supergirl team had borrowed any interior set pieces from Riverdale, since both shows have neighboring production offices.

I'm looking forward to the episode even though it's possible to be the first Supergirl episode without Supergirl (Melissa in costume) actually in it, I imagine though Kara and Alex deserve a little R and R.

Will be interested to watch Izabela and Olivia.

Quoting Triggy:

Then it'll be the mega crossover to be excited about next.

I'm getting excited for the crossover, now only a month away. The promise of more Kara and Oliver scenes is what I'm currently looking forward to the most.

I'm like Kelly on this one. In trying to keep my excitement in check. Last year we all got stoked for a few episodes...i.e. The Crossover. Turned out to be dud when it came to the Supergirl's cast participation.

So....yeah. *crosses fingers*
