Kara Finds Herself Under A Red Sun In New Stills From SUPERGIRL Season 2 Episode 9: "Supergirl Lives"
The CW has officially released eighteen new promotional stills from the upcoming Kevin Smith-directed episode of Supergirl, which will see our heroine once again face-off with Roulette! Come take a look!
Supergirl has been on hiatus for a little longer than its three sister shows, but thanks to a Monday timeslot, it'll be the first to return from this lengthy winter break come the week of January 23rd.
The next episode will take Kara & Mon-El away from Earth to a planet known as Slaver's Moon where the duo will re-encounter the elusive Roulette and if that wasn't enough trouble, they'll also find themselves under the influence of a red sun, which means no superpowers to give them any sort of advantage.
Kevin Smith (Clerks), who already has two episodes of The Flash under his belt, helmed this installment, which is titled "Supergirl Lives." His daughter Harley Quinn Smith (Yoga Hosers) will also guest star during the hour.
Check out the latest batch of promotional stills below:
“Supergirl Lives” — (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET) (TV-PG, V) (HDTV)
KEVIN SMITH DIRECTS; ROULETTE RETURNS — Kara (Melissa Benoist) is moved by the story of a missing woman named Izzy (guest star Harley Quinn Smith) and decides to investigate despite Snapper Carr’s (guest star Ian Gomez) order to leave it alone. Kara takes Mon-El (Chris Wood) with her to the last place Izzy was seen and the duo find themselves thrust through a portal to another planet, Slaver’s Moon, where the downtrodden are sold as slaves. The leader of the trafficking ring is none other than Roulette (guest star Dichen Lachman). To make matters worse, Slaver’s Moon has a red sun, which means Kara and Mon-El are stripped of their powers and stuck on the planet with no way home. Meanwhile, back on Earth, Alex (Chyler Leigh) blames herself for Kara’s disappearance, fearing she’s become too focused on her new relationship with Maggie (guest star Floriana Lima) and too complacent in watching out for her sister. Kevin Smith directed the episode with story by Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Eric Carrasco & Jess Kardos (#209). Original airdate 1/23/2017.
The hour-long drama centers on Kara Zor-El, Superman's cousin, who was born on the planet Krypton and escaped amid its destruction years ago. Since arriving on Earth, she has been hiding the powers she shares with her famous cousin. But now at age 24, she decides to embrace her superhuman abilities and be the hero she was always meant to be.
