Things take a darker turn in this week's episode. Here's a recap!

It seems that Nia's dreams are what keeping her awake as what she sees have scared her. One of them happens to be of Agent Liberty pointing a gun towards her. James and Kara notice the amounts of coffee she's carrying and Nia getting scared of a photo of Liberty. Kara talks to her and decides to bring Brainy in; after he tells her and Alex who Nia really is in the future.

Brainy helps Nia of what she sees in her dreams and sees Ben Lockwood's wife in trouble. She's closer to the truth; as Manchester pays a visit to Ben Lockwood. As Kara, Nia, and Brainy pay a visit to Collinwood; they get followed. Kara tries to talk with them, but they take them both to Lockwood steel planet. There Nia saves Brainy and Kara and all three members get taken down.

Kara sees the sign of the building "Lockwood"; calls Alex to tell her that she believes Ben Lockwood is Agent Liberty. Alex tricks one of Liberty's followers and confirms its Lockwood. Kara races to Lockwood's house was too late as Manchester and Lockwood have left and were heading to the steel planet. There Manchester puts a hold on Lockwood but traps Kara too. That was until Lockwood's wife holds him and Nia knocks him out with the 20-pound hook swung to him.
Lockwood and Manchester were taken to prison; but not before Ben starting another conversation that soon builds to the press calling him a human right activist. It even gets President Baker siding with the public ask Supergirl to reveal her identity, but she declined and is relieved of her duties.  
"Bunker Hill" was a strong and intense episode to be the fall finale. It opens up the possibility of what's in store when the show comes back in January.  There were moments to enjoy like Brainy and Nia scenes were great and along with them and Kara there just seems to be a real on-screen chemistry there. With Kara not working with Alex and the DEO, maybe she'll team up with J'onn and his PI team. They do work together. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Supergirl next week in the three show crossover event "Elseworld" starting Sunday at 8/7c with The Flash, Arrow on Monday at 8/7c and Supergirl Tuesday at 8/7c on The CW.

Choices: Supergirl "Rather The Fallen Angel

Image result for supergirl rather the fallen angel



Manchester and Supergirl team up, what could possibly go wrong? Here's a recap!

"Rather the Fallen Angel" was a good episode, yet it had some lack in some ways. The lack in some ways was Lena and Adam storyline whether or no that Lean will go through with the testing on Adam as the human subject. And by the end, I couldn't get whether if Adam made progress or not in the testing, but from the look from Lena, it looks like it didn't go well. And her relationship with James seems to be not going well either.

Meanwhile, James makes the decision to join Agent of Liberty's group.  It leads to James being forced to do something he doesn't. But when Manchester and Kara team up to hunt Liberty down; it turned out that Manchester double crossed Kara and J'onn; turning her into Liberty.  Kara does escape and gets not only help from James but Manchester too.

J'onn meets with Manchester and finally, see what he truly is; that he would go to the ends of the earth to find the man that killed his wife. J'onn seemed to have failed Kara and apologizes to her.
Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.

Fighting Words: Supergirl "Call to Action"

It's Thanksgiving and it seems that Child of Liberty are gonna pull a purge. Will Kara and gang stop them? Here's a recap!

With it being Thanksgiving, the Children of Liberty pull of their own way of the purge by stalking houses of where aliens live and torcher them. After Kara and Manchester stopped a group, Col. Haley orders Alex and Kara to stop investigating it; they did it anyway.

Meanwhile, Lena booked James to a around table discussion TV show; but he doesn't want to do because of his planned hangout with one of the Children of Liberty. It doesn't sit well with Lena and well James didn't go and instead had Kara go on there and discuss with Lockwood. Kara makes a perfectly good argument til Lockwood makes one last statement that got the audience buzzing.

As everyone comes for Kara's apartment for Thanksgiving, they discuss the agenda of Children of Liberty until Brainy brings out one of their mask that happens to have a vision sensor so they know which house to go to. Then everyone leaves to stop the groups even getting help from a dragon.
After his television appearance, Lockwood seems to have a nice Thanksgiving til he gets a call from the television host asking if he would like to host his own TV show. He accepts.

After things calm down, Haley tells Alex and Kara that she'll have the DEO investigate the Children of liberty. But meantime, Lena's Phase II seemed to go wrong with testing a heart that has tumors. But when Lena was trying to destroy the third heart, it wouldn't and moved to the next step: human testing.

Everyone becomes worried about Nia's sleeping too much and asked her about it. She admits that she has narcolepsy but wouldn't accept help from Kara or her mother.  Manchester captures one of the Liberty members and tries to get information. But James gets a call from the guy he was hanging out with and told him he could get him in to see the boss. But he had to be kidnapped to do it.

"Call to Action" was a good episode. It had some good moments that stood out from Lena and James fighting about their different opinions and he not wanting to do the television thing. Brainy and Nia meeting again for Thanksgiving. The dragon that appeared to protect that kid was an amazing and nice reference to Harry Potter. I would be very worried about Nia but I think we'll know more about her in the coming episodes. Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.

Lost and Reunited: Supergirl "Parasite Lost"

With commanding officer at the DEO, how will this play out for Alex? Here's a recap.

With the episode starting off light and humorist with Kara and the gang having brunch; it was Brainy and Nia's reconnecting interaction that really stole the moment. But things take a turn and worrisome as well with Alex getting a new commander officer, Col. Haley. It seemed that she was going to be bossy with Alex and team but she's like what Alex has been doing.

When Brainy spotted Jensen, Kara and the team learn that Jensen isn't Jensen anymore; now a parasite that gives him absorbing powers and almost taking Kara's powers too. Lockwood placed that parasite in Jensen's ear so he would have a right-hand man.

But when Jensen's powers fade away that's when Lockwood got one of his followers to steal the power jewel from Amadei Derros. Once stolen, Jensen starts taking powers way from aliens that are heading to Derros' awakening and causes chaos for Alex and Kara. Alex talks to Jensen, while Haley wants her to take him out, but reasoning won in the end. Alex and Haley have some discussion about how that event went down, but things got to what we were thinking would happen when they first meet and that was Haley telling Alex how much J'onn wasn't a good man.

Meanwhile, Kara gets an interview with one of the most beloved aliens around Amadei Derros.  He has the power to help humans like a child in a wheelchair that can walk again. Well, after her interview with him, the public was really divided about it. It even got someone from the Child of Liberty to steal Derros' jewel.

But stealing that jewel would put him to death. That's where J'onnn and Kara investigate and learn of his daughter, Natalie.  But it wasn't her that stole it, it was Natalie's mother, who also pulled The Notebook between Natalie and Amadei. After Jensen took the jewel off of him, J'onn and Kara deliver it to Amadei along with his daughter and it turned a joyful moment.

Lockwood mad as hell after the lost; gets a call from James. They talked about working together during Guardian's award ceremony. But James plans to see what Lockwood is all about and maybe find that he's the leader of Child of Liberty.

"Parasite Lost' was a fine good episode. Even though the leading up to Jensen and Alex was okay. It was Kara and J'onn Private Investigation that really took and would love to see more of that in the future. Good character development, writing and the one moment that really stole the episode was Brainy and Nia reuniting since episode two. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Supergirl on Sundays at 8/7c on The CW.

Go with Your Gut: Supergirl "Ahimsa"

Image result for supergirl ahimsa



Tensions rise on Alex's leadership and Supergirl's safety; while the search for Fiona continues with a little help from someone close. Here's a recap!

With Supergirl under commission due to the kryptonite particles in the air; Alex's leadership at the DEO isn't looking so good with Mercy breaking into the DEO. Even Kara, after waking up, doesn't follow Alex's orders to stay and not go. But Kara's suit doesn't hold a whole lot of power to protector as it loses it in battle.

Lena and Brainiac try to come up with something that will take out the kryptonite gas in the air for Supergirl. After Lena helped Brainiac with his emotions, the two come up to help Kara fight out there.

J'onn, who's in an anger of emotions, gets a visit from Fiona's husband, Manchester Black. The two talk and get a scoop from a cop on a location, but when that turned out to be nothing. J'onn uses Manchester's ring to get a strong link signal to Fiona so they would get a location. After getting a location Alex and the team get there at the Fair Grounds.

With Mercy and Otis at the Fair, Alex and Kara get there and fight. With Kara losing power and Otis putting a gun to her head, they get Mercy and Otis to talk and buy some time; Lena and Brainiac to get all of those kryptonite gas out of the air. Mercy and Otis are taken out before Kara and Alex could do anything.

Also, James deals with wanting to be Guardian again and with Nia trying to tell him it would be a bad idea. He goes out there and helps Alex and Kara at the Fair. But when Nia informs him that Guardian has been trending for all the wrong reasons with one headline: "Guardian of Liberty." Kara and Alex are in good spirits but Alex gets a commanding officer Colonel Lauren Haley that was assigned by the President. Liberty continues the work by placing the parasite in Jensen's ear.

"Ahimsa" is another fantastic episode that dives well in intense and emotional moments. Another moment for Alex and Kara that adds great drama between these two characters. David Ajala's portrayal of Manchester Black was amazing and freaking cool when teaming up with J'onn. It's not over yet with this character I think. Overall, I give this episode an 8/10.

You can catch Supergirl on Sundays at 8/7c on The CW.
