Almost all of the main characters played a part in why Ben grew to despise aliens as much as he does now (I guess both Kara and Supergirl count). People do believe they are the hero of their own story and while I may have had some sympathy for Ben during this episode, it still doesn't make his actions right.

And honestly, that's what made me like this episode much more than most. It provoked emotion and challenged morals in a from the villains' point of view and I'm usually a sucker for those kinds of things (Infinity War is an example).

It would have been interesting to see where Ben would go without Mercy since I believe he's the better character but I feel as if she'll live on longer due to her history with Lena. Mercy also has history with Lex who was confirmed to be in this season. So, it is basically confirmed Mercy will outlive Ben.

The mains being a part of the story is cool, but how their personalities suddenly changed just to make us hate them as much as Agent Liberty wasn't a good move. Seriously Alex, threatening factory workers? Is that really what you should do when the only one actually injured was human? I don't think it was much of a personality change on Alex's part. She saw the alien was the victim in the skirmish and blamed not only Ben but the entire firm. I'd honestly blame Peter for not stopping them sooner.

Compared to everyone else though, I was "angry" with Alex more but I understood where she was coming from.
