Lex Luthor is coming to town! We are so excited to see Lex Luthor on the show and how he is going to interact with Lena! Will the Luthors battle it out or will they team up for something unknown? Your guess is as good as ours. But that doesn't seem to be the only person coming to National City, finally James' sister is going to make an appearance! You might remember that Azie Tesfai was cast in the roll of Kelly. Supergirl and J'onn will be battling it out yet again with Manchester as well! Possibly the most interesting part of this is how Lex gets to go see Lena! Check it out for yourself in the synopsis below:

No, bringing in an old cliche like LexLuthor is much more unimaginative.
My guess is he uses That Super serum to save himself, gets powers and becomes one of the big bads for season 5. Or if we are lucky he won’t, and will just die.
Agree. The truth is none of us knows where this is headed, regardless of what Melissa or anyone else says. Some want Lena to go evil. Fine. Some want her to be good. Fine. Some (like me) prefer her conflicted; gray, if you will. Also fine. It should be an interesting ride in any case, so I just plan on enjoying it regardless of the outcome.
Oh yes! As time goes on, I've learned to seldom trust the actors dropping hints of what's to come. And never under any circumstances take what a showrunner says at face value.
They aren't being evil, they are just introducing doubt and misdirection to preserve the surprise. All part of the game.
I’m sorry, but this is just ridiculous. People can’t want/enjoy a friendship being portrayed without wanting it to become a relationship? Pretty insulting, really.
Having Lena “turn evil” would be the least imaginative thing the show could do, and while I can’t exactly praise the writing lately, I don’t think they’ve fallen that far yet. Melissa’s words in that interview were clearly chosen in order to draw people in and string people along. I’m always surprised when people fall for stuff like that, but I admit I’m older and have seen that sort of publicity play out over and over again.
Quoting Brierrose:
"For Lena I think I remember that in comics she went through a super bad phase with her brother before becoming a good person again. "
Perhaps in one of the later storylines. In the Silver Age and Bronze Age DC Comics, she was always a "good guy", a friend to Supergirl and Superman (who tried very hard to keep her from finding out that Lex was her brother).
I more or less lost track of what was happening in the world of comic books after I graduated from college in the 70s (though I did see most of the superhero movies and watched "Smallville".)
I had listened to her interview about her relationship with Lena. She talks about Lex and Clark's relationship on Smallville, that they were friends before becoming ennemies. She said the reveal will be a slow burn. So, it seems that it might go a certain way but we might still be suprised. Melissa was carefully choosing her words not to spoil anything.

With her serum it is she who could give his powers to Manchester Black.
Melissa herself has said there's a Red Daughter centered episode to come, I'm thinking it will be either Episode 16 or 17. https://twitter.com/Fandomopolis/status/1099458617017753600
As for this Episode 15, I am looking forward to seeing what Jon Cryer does with Lex Luthor. Hoping though that the episode is not going to be too Luthor siblings dominant, still need my fill of Kara/Supergirl.
