Titled: Medusa
If there’s one thing the Berlanti-verse shows love, it’s secrets. So, it’s somewhat refreshing to have an episode like this one, which finds most of the characters aching to come clean. In “Medusa,” the characters make several confessions that will change many relationships (romantic and platonic) going forward. (Also, there were some crossover shenanigans, but we’ll get to that later).
“Medusa” opens at Kara Danvers’ apartment, where the Danvers family (plus Winn, James, and Mon-El) are celebrating Thanksgiving. This entire first scene alone was a great indication of how much Supergirl has improved this season. It effortlessly juggles the dinner’s many competing agendas. There’s James and Winn, who want to tell Kara about their side project, but are forbidden to by Alex — who’s planning on using dinner to come out to her mother. Mon-El, who definitely has feelings for Kara, tries to score points by sucking up to Eliza. Once they all sit down to eat, Alex finally grabs the floor to make her big announcement, but she’s thwarted by the rude interruption of a rip in the space-time continuum.
The Danvers might be enjoying family time, but the same can’t be said of the Luthor women, whose relationship is revealed to be incredibly strained because Lillian has never tried to hide the fact she loves Lex more than Lena. After Kara tries to innocently question Lena about her mother, Lena summons Lillian to her office to find out if she’s up to anything fishy. However, Lillian lies and says she isn’t up to anything nefarious……….
