Notes

• This episode takes place one month after The Quest for Peace.
• Brainiac 5 created Supergirl a new suit, replacing her skirt with pants.
• Kara Danvers tells Lena Luthor she is Supergirl.

Trivia

• In debating the greatest movie villain of all time, Nia suggests Hannibal Lecter (likely The Silence of the Lambs iteration), Brainy suggests Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada, Kara suggests Voldemort from Harry Potter, and Alex suggests Hans Gruber from Die Hard. Kelly later suggests Hans Gruber, agreeing with Alex.
• When the Superfriends fight Midnight, "Supermassive Black Hole" by Muse plays, which is subsequently followed by Midnight creating a black hole above them.
  • Longtime viewers can pickup that the music is usually a cue for what is happening in a scene, similar to back in Season One in "Manhunter", where lamenting music plays over Kara seeing public opinion of her stay sour after he Red Kryptonite-induced rampage.
