After another solid episode of Supergirl, next week's installment will see Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Mon-El (Chris Wood) take a trip into outer space to investigate a part of Krypton that has seemingly survived. However, upon their arrival, they make an absolutely startling discovery as the Girl of Steel reunites with her long-dead mother (Erica Durance)?! 

Meanwhile, back on the homefront, Alex (Chyler Leigh) and Ruby (Emma Tremblay) come under attack, which forces Lena (Katie McGrath) to make a difficult decision about exactly how far she's willing to go to stop Reign (Odette Annable).

Watch the new promo for episode twenty, titled "Dark Side of the Moon," below:

SUPERGIRL LEARNS A STUNNING SECRET ABOUT KRYPTON - Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) is stunned to discover that a part of Krypton survived.

Also in Kara’s life are James Olsen, a photo journalist who moonlights as Guardian, a masked vigilante, Lena Luthor, and Mon-El of Daxam, whose planet was ravaged by Krypton’s destruction.

@ImmovableForce - Silly comment.

Mind you, I love the character of Supergirl. And, well, she's hot in most depictions of her. I just have gotten tired of the way tv portrays the DC characters. So much filler soap opera and bad effects, and really bad portrayal of the characters at times.

ImmovableForce - 5/21/2018, 6:47 PM
and the same I'd say about Marvel tv, except some of the Netflix shows.

@ImmovableForce - Well it is on CW...not a great excuse but their main audience eats the soap opera drama.

Also this show was geared towards young girls. Not to make any excuses but this is Supergirl and I would not mind more shows featuring a lead female hero either from DC or Marvel.

The show is good not great mind you but good. Also it is great to see some obscure characters put on the small screen.

@JoeMomma29 - This may seem a weird complaint, but I'm tormented every time I see the red stitching on dark blue on her costume. It just looks weird, and they never seem to show any signs of changing it. It's really out of nowhere. They kind of just made it up apparently. I think even a black Jimmy Olsen has more comic book precedence than those red stitches. Do they really think that's a good look? Maybe it's a generation-specific style perception, but I always thought stitching that doesn't closely match the color it's on looks cheap. Maybe they could have used a darker blue for the stitches?

@ImmovableForce - You really complaining about stitching on her costume thats barely even noticeable? Jeez either you're a troll or an idiot grasping at straws to complain about

@ImmovableForce - Why do people ask this question for every single cbtv show every time an article is posted about one of them? Trolls!!!

@ImmovableForce - I lost respect for the show, when they had Superman job for Supergirl and then excoriate himself afterwards, telling her that he was fighting at full power and that she's earth's hero. And to ad insult to injury, in another episode, have Supergirl utter that she "beat Kal-el into the ground," blah, blah, blah. Pathetic.

I legit thought Supergirl was gonna heat vision that girl's hand off

@Himura - Same! XD It ended up looking more like that scene from S6 when Clark used his heat vision on Chloe to get that chip off from her collarbone, but less painful. Seeing Kara use her freeze breath in her hand to heal it was a nice touch.

Very surprised by how they handled this episode, it ended up working quite well and it touched so far in all the relevant plots and subplots with the characters in the Season. Well balanced that made the episode not filler.

Jimmy's story and it's crux was the focus but it didn't exactly took the entire episode like one could have imagined, Mehcad Brooks acted the hell out of his scene to make you connect and care more with Jimmy's experience with racism. They didn't over did it like they have done it in past episodes, it took only 1 scene where the police aimed at him as Guardian while they let the Coville cult (those acolytes are intense with what they pulled at CatCo) get away and from that scene developed the demons and trauma he carried from when he was little.

Cool reveals in scenes like what the cult was really after was creating yet another and the fourth Worldkiller with the Rock of Yuda Kal. Good misdirection there with the bomb shadow/silhoutte as a side effect of it going wrong. The explanation behind of how it could also be used to undo Reign and Samantha from each other made sense.

Lmao'ed at Mon-El back being Mike. He was cool in this ep, not so much focus on his struggling feelings for Kara which I still think are leading to moving on.

That rock of Yuda Kal isn't a pushover, makes everyone that comes in touch with it loose their powers and for a moment thought they were going to have no choice but to cut off the girl's hand, but it ended up resembling a bit more that scene from Smallville when Clark used heat vision on Chloe to get that chip off from her collabrone.

So all in all the episode worked well and advanced the plot in more than way one. They know what can be used to save Samantha, Know where they can get more which is where they are heading next week and is gotta be fast since Reign is becoming inmune to kryptonite. And Jimmy's subplot was handled maturely and naturally.

As for the subplot it also worked, never expected M'yrnn would get through Ruby without even trying. His condition actually played a role in making her open up.

Lena actually felt too irrational this week with Kara admitting her faults and even being willing to work things once this is over, guess that's saved for next episodes. If only they actually showed the scenes though where she and Winn figure out the alloy of the Yuda Kal rock and how they came up with tracking it's location because those two characters still project a lot of chemistry together even when it is about stuff they've done offscreen.

Coville is back and ready to create another Worldkiller from the spares of what his cult did, not gonna end well.

Argo City or whatever that part of Krypton is looks great.
