"Red Dawn" is the twenty-first episode of the fourth season of Supergirl, and the eighty-sixth episode overall. It aired on May 12, 2019.

Synopsis

Kara comes face to face with Red Daughter and the two engage in an epic battle. Determined to find a way to extract the Harun-El, Lena turns to an unlikely source for help – Lillian Luthor. Meanwhile, Alex realizes she's missing parts of her memory, and Brainy, Nia and J'onn set out to track down aliens who have been abducted by Lex.[1]

Trivia

  • The title references the 1984 film of the same name.
  • This episode marks the first appearances of Izabela Vidovic and Olivia Nikkanen as the younger versions of Kara and Alex since season three's flashback episode "Midvale".
  • When Supergirl is in Red Daughter's apartment, she stands in front of a mirror, potentially referencing Red Daughter's similarity to Bizarro.
  • There are two references to Star Wars made throughout the episode.
    • The "Wookiee gambit", that Dreamer mentions is an allusion to the scene in Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977) when Luke and Han, disguised as stormtroopers, pretend to have captured Chewbacca in order to access the detention area in the Death Star where Princess Leia is being held prisoner.
    • Brainy mentions having been shamed for his unawareness of Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope, once before. He's referring to a scene in "Battles Lost and Won" when Kara quotes Han Solo to him; Brainy inquires whether she's making a film reference, and she expresses her surprise that they've never shown him Star Wars.
