When a death in Winn's family brings him and his mother closer, revelations are revealed for another family, even the secret that Mon-El tells Kara.
The gang is back, and what better way to be back than to do a Karaoke Night!!! With the night of fun, things are halted when Winn learns that his father, the Toyman, has died. While at the funeral, Winn's mother shows up hoping to talk and connect with him, but he isn't for it. But when the body of the Toyman was being lowered, it exploded.
Winn's mother tries to bond with Winn even at the usual time, even when Flying Toy Monkeys invade the city and attack the DEO. At a certain point, we learn about Winn's mother and why she hasn't been a part of his life for the last 20 years due to his father threatening to kill him. She also holds some skills, taking the Toy Monkey apart, thinking that maybe she's part of it, but when Winn's mother finds a card in the monkey and takes it, she finds the person who's been doing this, the Toymaker's former employee.
Winn, Kara, Jimmy, and Mon-El come to some obstacles with dangerous toys, from a giant T-Rexand flaming-throwing fire truck to even making Kara into a collector's toy in a special plastic. But Winn saves his mother but goes to his father's former employee and uses what he learned from his father against her, mainly the razor yo-yo to the leg as she was strangely him.
Meanwhile, after hearing that J'onn and his father are moving to a new apartment, Alex gets jealous for not being invited and invites her to dinner. But something is wrong with J'onn's father, as his memory seems problematic. Alex addresses J'onn's father. It tells him that he needs to tell J'onn about it, but instead, hees her out. Alex tells J'onn but only asks his father about it, and as soon as he does, J'onn and Alex share a friendly, fatherly daughter. There have been so many surprising moments in this episode, one being J'onn's father. Still, Mon-El tells Kara about the secret that Imra told him. That the real reason they are here in the 21st Century was to find the Third World Killer and that in the future, he would turn into Blight. And that's not all. Jimmy has been calling Lena for the last couple of days, but when she calls back, she tells him she's been working hard the last few days. But she's been working to help with Samantha's condition at Lexcrop warehouse.
"Schott Through the Heart" was a fantastic episode and one hell of a way to welcome back the show from its two-month hiatus. The Winn and his mother's storyline was brilliant, and Laurie Metcalf was also brilliant as always as Winn's mother. The episode had such a strong character development, and I think it sets the tone for the rest of the season. Do you believe that Lena figures out what's wrong with Samantha? I don't know about you, but I got chills when hearing the name Blight (for those familiar with Batman Beyond). I can't wait to see where this will be going. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.
You can catch Supergirl on Mondays at 8/7c on The CW.
