The mystery of Lex Luthor and his plans were further explored in tonight's new episode of Supergirl. We also got to finally meet Red Daughter and learn her story. After last week, the general consensus that we've heard is Jon Cryer knocked it out of the park as the infamous villain. Today we got to see the man in action and with a lot of Russian speaking! Now that Lex has cured himself of the cancer his plans can go forward. With so much being unraveled, there was a lot to cover tonight! Here's what stood out to us:

1. Lex Has Powers: The episode picks up right where the last one left off. Supergirl confronts Lex in his helicopter. There he activates something on his watch and he jumps out. Just like Ironman, the Lex suit appears and envelops him. Supergirl is able to knock him out of the sky and he lands on the roof of the Daily Planet. Then Lex, who has powers now, lifts the Daily Planet globe to smash Supergirl.
2. Flashback Three Years Ago: With Lex on trial, we get to see James and Lena testify against him. Lex is sentenced to thirty-two life sentences but he says he should add another one as he poisoned the judge and the jury who sentenced him.
3. Prison Life: Lex is afforded a lot of opportunity while in prison. He has a special cell and he has the warden and prisoners under his thumb. He is even able to blackmail the warden into letting him leave the prison and go visit Kasnia where Red Daughter is discovered.
4. Red Daughter: Supergirl's clone can only speak of Alex when she is first found. The Kasnian army takes her in and starts to train her in Russian and harness her powers. While in her cell, she hears a young boy in trouble. She bursts out and heads to help him immediately. While there, Lex arrives to meet her. He identifies himself as "Alex".
5. Great Gatsby: Lex continues to cement his hold on Red Daughter. He sends her books and looks to teach her like he was taught. With his hologram at the prison, Lex can spend time traveling the world. He knows that Kasnia wants to invade the United States. He places himself in a position where he can foil this attack and gain pardon from the United States. Lex even learns of Ben Lockwood and uses Otis to start pulling their strings. It would seem that Lex has been at the center of EVERYTHING.
6. Red Daughter in National City: Lex takes "Linda Lee" to visit America and National City. They tour Kara Danvers' apartment where Linda is even able to fool Alex. Kara was actually with Clark visiting Smallville (during the crossover) while Lex took her to visit Kara's place. While there, Linda wanted to learn more about Kara. She read her diary and even went to visit Lena. Eve finally catches her and tells Lex that Linda is starting to question if America is really that bad. To set her back on course, Lex manipulates a US attack ship to fire on Linda's young friend, killing him!
7. Battleship Down: Red Daughter lets her emotions get the better of her and she heads off to take out the American battleship. Lex arrives after her in his super suit where he promises to clean up her mess. Red Daughter believes that she is being used because Lex wants to get back at Lena. Lex says he's done and leaves. Red Daughter, with nowhere to go, returns to Kasnia where she is actually sick. Lex realizes he needs the Harunel to heal her. He actually gives himself cancer to get Lena to work with him.
8. Lex Saves: Lex is able to escape from Supergirl and he returns to Kasnia to heal Red Daughter. After healing her, she agrees to follow his commands and help take out Supergirl! Lex then gives her her own Super Suit and Lex, now with powers, has his own Kryptonian as well!

In the elevator Eve calls Red Daughter a name that sounds like it began with a P but I couldn't quite understand what she said, anyone able to pick up what that name was?.

Hereby I'm referring to Red Daughter as Linda, Linda Lee.

I also had trouble with that one. I think Eve said : ''Hello, Kara! Or should I say... previet!'' (hello in Russian). What do you think?

That makes sense thanks KaraD. I thought she may have been calling her by her Kasnian name.

You’re right, the name part of the question fooled me.

That's what I heard, as well... "previet."

Yes, she says "privet".

I believe the name was Pollyanna. Pollyanna is the name of a book https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pollyanna. Like the protagonist in the book the name Pollyanna has come to describe a person characterized by irrepressible optimism and a tendency to find the good in everything https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Pollyanna. It makes sense that Eve wouldn’t want Rara to turn into a Pollyanna.

Rara isn't Pollyanna but Kara does have a lot of Pollyanna in her.

One observes that the Lex-designed Red- Daughter suit is significantly more, how shall we put it, figure-enhancing than is the usual super-suit.

Jeb Bush approves.

OMG! That is hilarious!!

Well, we are talking about a villain. Lex, I mean.

I LOVED THIS EPISODE! SO many good things! MORE MORE MORE!!!

Loved "Linda Lee". Loved when Eve says to Lex "you can call me Eve" but he immediately then still calls her "Miss Teschmacher", like he loves saying that!

Quoting DigitalDiva:

I think it will Alex or Lena who reaches RD's inner good and turns her against Lex in the end.

I also think in the end. the Harunel is going to bite them all in the backside. That they will all lose power. That is the only way Supergirl is going to come out on top in the end.


Melissa and Jon both killed this episode, kudos to them for such powerful performances.

Yes, I think Red Daughter will somehow have this deep sister epiphany about Alex which turns the tide. And it appears the Harunel does wear off; otherwise, why would Red Daughter need a transfusion from Lex?
Totally agree they both killed this episode! Melissa is SO talented!!!
Does Lex lose his power when he gives the transfusion? If he did, I think he'd instead keep the power rather than rely on Red Daughter to remain faithful to him.
One thing didn't quite get: Alex comes to the apartment and sees Red Daughter there. "Gee Kara, I almost didn't recognize you without your magic glasses on; you are a spitting image of Supergirl!"
Red Daughter immediately calls her Alex as if she already knew her name, then after Alex leaves, says to Lex: "Kara Danvers has an Alex, too?" as if she didn't know that.
"Gee, I see this soccer ball, but with my X-ray vision, I don't see any bones in this wreckage. Are you sure that poor little boy was killed?"
Loved Lex remembering to pierce her ears to put in her earrings when she was weakened by Kryptonite; he thinks of (almost) everything!

Alex seeing Kara w/o glasses was before the mindwipe.
