‘Supergirl’ 2.14 ‘Homecoming’ Review

Supergirl Homecoming Review

Supergirl Homecoming ReviewSupergirl picks up shortly after it ended last week, with Mon-El waking up in Kara’s bed. After Kara returns from a morning of saving the day, she and Mon-El share a moment before Kara asks Mon-El to keep their relationship a secret. Of course, the second they walk into the DEO, Mon-El announces their relationship to everyone. Not missing a beat, Hank and Alex start teasing the pair about needing to visit Human Resources.

Shortly thereafter, Winn gets a lead on a Cadmus convoy supposedly transporting a weapon, and Kara and J’onn speed off to the site. What they find is something neither of them expected: Jeremiah Danvers. Taking him back to the DEO, Jeremiah, Alex, and Kara all get in on one super hug.

As Alex is looking over Jeremiah and his damaged hand, he talks about his abduction by Cadmus, revealing he was taken to turn the real Hank Henshaw into Cyborg Superman. Afterwards, they kept him to utilize his knowledge on other projects. Jeremiah also reveals that, when Cadmus stole Kara’s heat vision, they used it to build a nuclear fusion bomb. Their plan? Detonate it in National City and blame aliens.

During Jeremiah’s speech at a welcome-home dinner, he asks to rejoin the DEO to help everyone take down Cadmus. He’s immediately welcomed back into the fold, but Mon-El can’t keep his worries about the convenience of Jeremiah’s return to himself. Publicly criticizing Jeremiah and his return, everyone, including Kara, turns on Mon-El and his outburst. The fight prompts Kara to worry that their relationship isn’t going to work out. As Jeremiah is leading Mon-El out of the apartment, he reveals that he knows who Mon-El really is, threatening to expose it to Kara.

The next day at the DEO, Jeremiah uses his newfound access to try and break in to the DEO mainframe, which Winn oversees. Mon-El and Winn then corner Kara and reveal that it looks like Jeremiah is spying on the DEO. Kara, Mon-El, and Winn approach Jeremiah who says he was accessing case files to see the good Alex and Kara had been up to over the past two years. This line of questioning immediately sets Alex against Winn and Mon-El and makes her upset with Kara.

When Kara tries to talk to Alex, the two sisters are at odds over Jeremiah’s return. Alex accuses Kara of siding with Mon-El, but Kara insists this is about the truth. Alex says Kara is choosing sides, but Kara remarks that “this isn’t about sides,” it’s about protecting them. With a sharp retort, Alex says, “You’re either part of the family or you’re not.”

Later, when Winn gets a hit on the fusion bomb, Jeremiah is at the DEO as Alex, Kara, and Mon-El raid the location. When they discover an empty warehouse, J’onn approaches Jeremiah, who begins hacking the DEO and reveals his bionic arm, attacking both J’onn and Winn. When J’onn gets back to his feet, he questions Jeremiah, who says his seeming betrayal isn’t the whole story. Then, it’s Jeremiah vs Martian Manhunter, while the DEO files download in the background.

When Alex, Kara, and Mon-El return to the DEO, they find an injured J’onn and Winn. J’onn recounts the events to Alex, who vows to end Cadmus for what they’ve done. Winn then reveals he hid a tracker on Jeremiah. Alex and Kara rush off to confront him, Cyborg Superman, and Lilian Luthor.

During the standoff, Cadmus creates a distraction by blowing up train tracks, which Kara races off to deal with while Alex pursues the three. When Alex catches her father, she questions him about his betrayal. Jeremiah says Alex will have to shoot him if she wants to bring him in, but she can’t pull the trigger.

Back at the DEO, Alex breaks the news to Eliza and Kara expresses her worries over everything that happened, but J’onn reassures her that whatever happens next will “make them stronger.”

At home, Alex hits the drink hard, and Maggie questions her about what happened. Alex breaks down, sobbing into Maggie’s arms. At Kara’s apartment, Kara is wrapped up on the couch when Mon-El comes in and holds her tight. Receiving a phone call, Kara learns that Jeremiah stole the National Alien Registry from the DEO.
