Now we get a return to the Morgan Edge plot. Basically our kinda antagonist until Reign fleshes out. So lets see what he is up to this time.

It starts off with a robbery that leads into the next day with Sam and Ruby going to her school. Until a student just falls sick from lead poisoning right when Ruby walks in view. (A little convenient, but it does segway our main characters into this plot nicely +1)

Morgan plays a guilt trip to Lena which leads to serious complications when the public blame her for the lead bomb she made in Season 2's finale. Leading to parents blaming her for the children in the hospital, and assassination attempts being done. They go all out here. No stops on the bad things this situation brings out. +1

Alex comes home after a long period of time and straight up breaks up with Maggie. I had to see if i was asleep so i slapped myself and turns out this was real. +1

Lena is slowly falling apart from all this criticism she has gotten. The guilt weighing on her heavily. Believing that she can't do good. It is brilliantly acted by Katie McGrath. +2

5/10

Alex and Maggie have break up sex. Just had to say it straight forward just to show you guys how weird it is. Because hardly anyone does that. Then they just kinda continue packing their bags after too. -2

Lena goes from sad and drunk to murdery and sober when it is revealed Edge was behind the poisoning. Lena's revenge was amazing. (+2) However they should have realized this from the start. It had been months since the lead bomb was shot into the air so we would have seen the symptoms much earlier in the season if that was the cause. Lastly Edge being the one to support the sick kids when he has had no desire to help sick kids in the past? Nobody would buy that. -1

Supergirl saves Lena and Edge gets away scott free. (+1) However the show doesn't get how DNA evidence works since there would still be prints of Edge's DNA on the gun he used. -1

Morgan just taunts Kara in such an evil way. He is just asking for a heat vision blast in the face, but he knows she just won't do it. That is a special kind of evil confidence. +1

James and Lena now finally have their friendship and eventual romance not move as quickly and it feels more natural. +1

Sam realizes that on the day of the assassination attempt on Lena's life, she was shot, but she wasn't injured and the bullet flattened under her skin. The ominous music that plays afterwards really works well to make us fear for the monster she'll become. +1

Score is a 7/10. Bonus score is inside public pools now.

Supergirl stopping Edge's pollution plan, but then allowing half of a plane to pollute the water instead. -1

Sister trio between Lena, Sam, and Kara. The villain, anti-hero, and the hero. A very good dynamic for the show to play off of. +1

I liked that the show allowed a bit of a connection between Kara and Sam's backstories. Allowing for some mirroring of their plots. +1

Final score is a 8/10. Now we take a break from the show's current plot to find out how Alex and Kara developed their connection to each other. Brace yourselves for the references to Smallville too.
