After a little over a month off, Supergirl is back tomorrow night with a brand new episode that will shed some much-needed light on how Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) rose to power in this post-Crisis world, but that's not the biggest story as it will also mark the directorial debut of series star Melissa Benoist. 

Following those new episodic stills from last week The CW (via Entertainment Weekly) has shared an additional eight promotional stills from the episode, featuring a behind-the-scenes look Benoist's directorial debut.

"Deus Lex Machina" - (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET) (TV-PG, V) (HDTV)

MELISSA BENOIST MAKES HER DIRECTORIAL DEBUT - Lex (guest star Jon Cryer) proceeds to lay an intricate plan to bring Lena (Katie McGrath) closer to him, defeat Leviathan's latest attack, and pit Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and team against Leviathan. It is also revealed how Lex came into power after Crisis. Melissa Benoist directed the episode with story by Lindsay Sturman and teleplay by Katie Rose Rogers & Brooke Pohl (#517). Original airdate 5/3/2020.

Season four showed that truth, justice and the American way are stronger than fear and hate, as Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) stopped Lex Luthor’s anti-alien campaign with the power of the press, no cape required. As the world returns to normal, some things will never be the same now that Lena (Kate McGrath) knows Kara’s secret and the Monitor has arrived on Earth 38! Watch, like Leviathan, as new dynamics and relationships unfold for Supergirl and her friends and colleagues as their adventures continue in season five!

They always let the cast direct when a show is in danger of cancelation. Makes me wonder how much longer Supergirl has.

The previous Season did a good job with the Lex flashback episode, one of the reasons it worked was because of the relationship (and manipulation) with Red Daughter so I wonder how this one could outdo that one. Regardless Jon Cryer chews scenary as Lex so I am looking forward to that.

I'm pretty sure that "self-help" book is gonna come back to bite Kara somehow, Lena obviously chose the best way to come waving a white flag as Lex watched from behind. If she hadn't already played the act of good girl twice with Andrea I would've bought this.

Anyway glad the show's back even if just for 3 episodes.
