I can see Eve fans being angry over the surprise heel turn, but, IMHO, it was worth it. Supergirl scores yet another win this season. What the hell happened that this show became good? Consistently great episodes in a row, and great villains all around the season. Apparently the next episode will be even more Lex-centric, detailing how he managed to connect all the villainous plots from prison.

My one gripe with the episode is the absence of Superman. Superman, along with Lex's trial, was in the trailer for this episode - the latter, I suppose, is being moved to the next one (which is great - it makes him NOT a one-off villain, which I feared the most). But then, since the whole episode is about Kara being chewed off for not staying with James at the hospital, how could Superman be absent from his best pal's at this crucial moment?! Way to make Clark a jerk, writers. At least drop us a hint that he's further away than even Argo, or something! Okay, I lied, second gripe, or at least befuddlement. Why was Kara just randomly flying across the sky as she saw Lex's helicopter? Is she finally using her super-hearing again, reacted to agents blowing up?

Bonus points: BvS references. This really shows there was something right with that portrayal, yet what went wrong? Lex's theme, mannerisms and even certain words referenced BvS and Watchmen, of all things.
