You know what i like on the holidays. SEEING DEAN CAIN! +3

So this episode has tons of alien kidnapping that starts it off. Obviously it is Jeremiah's fault since he took the alien registry. However Alex is worried that he will get killed in their battle with Cadmus. Alex just suddenly forgot her dad is bulletproof now. (-1) We then get an alien abducting action scene which had some pretty cool stuff like the reappearance of Guardian and James along with Alex pool stick fighting some goons of Cadmus. +2

Alex then has a cool moment where her emotions actually do get to her in her job as an interrogater. (+2) However then J'onn pulls her away just so the creators can once again say the line of dialogue that gives them Christmas cheer every time. "Mon-El was right" -2

Snapper just standing up to Supergirl the way he did was just amazing. Most of the characters on the show are amazed by her all the time except for him. +1

J'onn tests Alex on her loyalty to her job next to her family. She failed because she is a very family driven person. Making sense for both the untrusting J'onn and the loyal Alex to do this in that situation. +1

6/10

So now because of this, both Kara and Alex are on seperate paths in the episode for their way of tracking Jeremiah and Cadmus. I'll list the positives and negatives of both here. So Jeremiah is seen as evil by everyone else on the show including Alex for doing this. However considering that it is either deportation or death, Jeremiah picked the best option. My problem here is that everyone is hating on him for his decision. -1
 * Kara's way involves posting a blog about Cadmus and the alien registry online and expecting that to reach the entire alien population of National City. I would understand if she want to post on a popular blog site that has been around for a while, but she just makes one herself. -1
 * Alex's way involves somehow knowing when one of the aliens is being taken and then saving his butt in time. Then she steals their last known location. Guess which strategy looks better? (aside from Alex going at it alone that is) +1

Lillian actually thinks that Kara's article saved the day? At most a few aliens would see that. Even if they did. They wouldn't be able to stop the kidnappings because not all of them have superpowers. -1

So Alex tries to stop them from deporting aliens on a space ship by boardina the ship herself so she is in danger as well? (-1) However Supergirl is there to save the day. Her coolest save this season happens when she brings the ship back to Earth. +3

There is real stupidity in Kara for putting her last name in the blog she made. She basically caused herself to get fired by doing that. I would have prefered if the show had her call her blog something different than her name and then Snapper figures it out himself through his reporter skills. -2

The emotional apology between Alex and J'onn is very heartfelt. +2

Kara saying that she doesn't need a job and just needs Mon-El is the worst message Supergirl has shown on the show by far to young girls. -2

4/10

So the ending of the episode has the appearance of Teri Hatcher as our new alien character of Rhea. Seeing as Teri Hatcher is back and the scene is pretty well done. I'll give it two points. +2

Episode gets a 6/10. Not the best episode of Supergirl. However we do got some bonus scores in the red tape.

The Snapper plotline showing the importance of proper reporting was very well thought out. +1

The line "You are the only Superman we need" said to Jeremiah AKA Dean Cain! +1

Final score is an 8/10. Next we got the Daxam Family. After a good Merry Christmas to all the wiki users.
