We got DEAN CAIN :)

For those of you unfamiliar of why i go crazy for Dean Cain in all my reviews, this is why.

It was corny at times, but the fun Superman kind of corny. Anyway, enough about Lois and Clark, time for the next generation of SuperTV

I SAID THE NEXT GENERATION!

Anyway, now we got Supergirl after sex. It increases her productivity levels a thousand times. So i guess i'll add that to the insane list of powers Kryptonians have next to shooting tiny versions of themselves out of their hands. (Yes that is a thing +1)

Mon-El literally doesn't listen to what Kara said ten seconds after saying it. So either he has short term memory loss or he is a jerk. Going with the latter. -1

Cadmus is back, though one thing i question here is not Cadmus bringing their most prized scientist out in the open since we know later that it is bait to draw Kara in to get him. However it is Winn for saying that one of Cadmus's secret bases just became active. Why didn't Hank dispatch everyone there the second they found out about this? This is something i genuinely want to know.

We then see J'onn and Kara saving Jeremiah, having a cool action scene of them destroying some SUV's. Revealing that Jeremiah is in fact alive! +2

They go back and Alex, a scientist/secret agent cannot figure out that the injured arm Jeremiah has is really robotic. -1

They have everyone be loving Jeremiah and it is all very heart warming. Then Mon-El is the one noticing that something is up. Making sense since Jeremiah is family for most of the cast. Kara, J'onn, Alex. All view him as the best guy and he is. However Mon-El understandably doesn't trust him from the evidence brought up. So both sides, Kara and Mon-El are right in this scenario. +1

2/10

Jeremiah's interaction with everyone is amazing. Giving him more time to shine as a parental figure is great in this episode. Dean knows how to act in this part. +2

Mon-El now continues being suspicious of Jeremiah, but now for the wrong reasons. Before it was out of a moral need, thinking something was up. Now it is a jealousy of how they trust him more than Mon-El. Makes him less of the moral guy the episode is trying to build him up to be. -1

Jeremiah just lays the sick burn on Mon-El by saying he knows who he is. Putting on the stern parent face. +2

Jeremiah's interaction with J'onn felt like the closest we will ever get to Dean Cain's Superman interacting with J'onn. Not to mention their friendship is very heartwarming. Both actors know how to be stern and emotional. +1

So Jeremiah, right after getting his badge into the D.E.O, just walts into the secret D.E.O info lab. That immediately looks suspicious. If anyone caught that someone broke in at that time, Jeremiah is going to be the first suspect. -1

Speaking of which, Mon-El tells Kara about this and she doesn't care as she still loves him as a dad. Alex finds out leading to a conflict about if Kara is truly a member of the Danvers family. Really connecting the continuity from the episode Midvale in Season 3. (+1) Dean Cain then leads everyone into a trap. Leading to him getting the power of invulnerability on the show. The power he showed off the most on Lois and Clark next to X-Ray vision. +2

8/10

Once again, Jeremiah shows how bad a secret agent he is by shooting the console instead of the actual drives. What is worse is Winn later has a conversation with J'onn acting like he did major damage. -1

Jeremiah, Lillian, and Cyborg Superman are at the park. (Really, that is the evil meeting place? -1) Then they try to stop Supergirl and fail in a cool scene. Even more cool is the emotional moment between Jeremiah and Alex as he asks her to shoot him and end his life at Cadmus. It was pretty emotional. +2

Maggie is there too. She is there for Alex and all that. Except when she wants kids. +1

Mon-El actually acts like a considerate boyfriend. It is almost like he had made a choice of actual love and goodness for the first time in his life. +1

Episode gets a 10/10. However Jeremiah has bonus rounds tucked in his nerve damaged arm. Can never trust that guy.

This episode basically felt like an excuse for the words "Mon-El was right" to be uttered. However sometimes, that never felt earned. I understand J'onn not reading his mind, but that check that J'onn said was mandatory when he first came back should have spotted the arm. -2

Episode also has Winn be shown as a concerned friend for Kara. Knowing what she needs from a guy. I would say Winn should date her instead of Mon-El, but then i realize he would turn into creepy Winn from Season one again. +1

Episode's final score is a 9/10. Great episode of Supergirl. Cannot wait for the next adventure against Cadmus until they are forgotten about.
