Kara quickly disregards her fight with Reign, and once she recalls that, she tries to wake herself up so she can battle Reign.

Brainiac 5 leaves Kara's mind and tells the group about Mon-El, Imra, J'onn, Winn, and Alex that despite the fact that her mind is 'fit as a fiddle', she's exceptionally vexed.

Sam and Ruby are having a Nerf-weapon battle when Sam inadvertently thumps over an picture frame, breaking it. Diverted, Sam's consideration is attracted to a newspaper indicating an image of the Reign and Supergirl fight.

Back at Reign's post, she gets further directions from the holographic projection of Selena there.

At CatCo, Lena and James talk about the kiss they recently shared. They conclude that once Kara gets in for the workday, they should advise her. Reign out of nowhere breaks a window and drops a criminal she captured on the floor. She arranges a cameraman to record her, when she goes on a monologue where she dispatches a war on culpability and the equity framework.

Back on Mon-El's ship, the DEO operators have a go at getting Mon-El and his Legion of Super-Heroes to assist with Reign. Sadly, Mon-El won't resist saying it's excessively dangerous. In the event that they bite the die, they risk reshaping the future.

J'onn inquires as to whether they have any remaining kryptonite that they can use against Reign, and a hesitant Winn and Alex concur.

Back in Kara's inner mind, the case she's been held in begins depleting, flagging that she's prepared to wake up. Brainiac 5 discloses that to wake up truly, she should exit through her entryway, however it won't move. Brainiac 5 clarifies that it must not be opening in light of the fact that Kara is keeping herself down.

An alarm goes off on Mon-El's ship, notifying them that Reign has attacked someone else. They watch the news report that Reign has assaulted a meth house, harming both the street pharmacists and the cops that showed up on scene.

Alex catches Mon-El disclosing to Imra that they can't mediate, and when drawn closer, Mon-El clarifies that if they somehow happened to intercede, they'd hazard annihilating a planet basic to what's to come.

Winn approaches J'onn at the DEO, saying that James had moved toward him about Lena being on her way over to Kara's. J'onn changes into Kara and goes to Kara's condo, claiming to be her as Lena shows up.

Lena gives everything away on her close second with James. Lena leaves before long, and J'onn makes Winn guarantee to never cause him to do that again.

J'onn and the remainder of the DEO specialists choose to organize a bank burglary with an end goal to draw out Reign. They continue with their arrangements, and when Reign shows up, they toss a red star explosive at her in order to weaken her powers. They at that point use kryptonite to attach her up however she's rapidly ready to take out the operators attempting to capture her. After a fast battle with J'onn, she's ready to get away.

On Mon-El's ship, it's uncovered that Reign broke Alex's tibia. In the wake of talking about expected plans, the gathering reaches the resolution that they need to get the kryptonite in her circulatory system.

Brainiac 5 returns into Kara's psyche, and the two talk ways on the best method to get Kara to wake up. Kara shocks Brainiac 5 by referencing that possibly her subconscious is making her clean since it needs her to discover something.

Kara finds a picture of her and her pet cat, and she depicts the procedure it took her to be sufficiently delicate to pet the cat from the start. She clarified that once she had the option to pet the cat without harming it, she felt human.

Another alert goes off demonstrating that Reign has begun another assault. This time it's at a jail, and the group understands that Reign will kill both the detainees and gatekeepers.

Under pressure, Mon-El and Imra both consent to at long last help out, and the two suit up close by Brainiac 5 to go take on Reign. Reign unearths Coville's prison cell when Bon Jovi's "Livin' on a Prayer" begins playing.

An occupied Reign goes out into a yard where she's stood up to by Mon-El and Imra while Brainiac 5 pilots Mon-El's ship, and the different sides begin battling.

Brainiac 5 neglects it in Kara's psyche that there's a fight seething on, and Kara out of nowhere finds a key on the table that permits her to open the entryway.

Kara awakens on Mon-El's ship and discloses to Alex that she should help the Legion fight reign. Kara infuses Reign with the kryptonite, but Reign flies away before being incapacitated.

Back on Mon-El's ship, the Legion are getting their injuries taken care of. Mon-El pulls Kara aside and discloses to her that he despite everything cares about her and was stressed that she wouldn't wake up.
