’Supergirl’: ‘Luthors’ Review

Supergirl was all about the Luthor family as we learned about how Lena became a member of the villainous family. The episode opens up with a flashback as we see a young Lex playing chess with Lillian before Lionel Luthor walks in with a little girl who is going to be staying with them, her name is Lena.

Lena is dealing with her mother’s trial and Kara decides to pay her a visit to offer some support. Kara encourages Lena to visit her mother, despite their differences. Lena takes Kara’s advice and visits Lillian in prison who opens up about the complicated family situation. It turns out that Lionel had an affair with Lena’s real mother and that is why Lillian has always struggled with Lena throughout her childhood. She asks for s second chance from her stepdaughter and Lena seems to agree to it.

Meanwhile, John Corben gets a secret package which contains his Kryptonite heart. The scene cuts to Lillian’s trial where he is defending her. Corben starts to get aggressive and ends up attacking the whole courtroom by shooting his Kryptonite beam. Metallo breaks Lillian out of her cuffs and leaves with him. Supergirl tries to stop them, but the two villains split up with Metallo attacking citizens. Maggie finds out that Corben only had one visitor that night when he got the Kryptonite and it is being painted that Lena was the one who did it.

Lena gets arrested by Maggie and back at Cat Co, Snapper is making Lena’s crime the front story which Kara is upset with. Metallo goes back to the prison to break Lena out, but Guardian arrives as the two have a showdown. However Metallo gets the upper hand and takes her down, although he seems to have used a little too much of his Kryptonite heart, before he breaks Lena out. Kara and James argue about whether or not Lena is a criminal as she tries to convince everyone that Lena has nothing to do with Cadmus and Lillian. Lena is cross with Lillian for breaking her out as it will only make her look a lot worse. Lillian tries to convince Lena to forget about thinking about what’s right and leave her old life behind by joining Cadmus instead. What Lillian doesn’t notice though is that Metallo’s Kryptonite heart is starting to spread the Kryptonite all over his body. They arrive at Lex’s arsenal which contains his iconic warsuit and a lot more recognizable items. Lena refuses to open up the arsenal, but Cyborg Superman forces her to open it.

Winn is investigating the security footage that made it look like Lena got the Kryptonite and discovers that it was actually Cyborg Superman. Kara tries to save Lena, but Lillian uses a sonic device to stun Kara who warns them that Metallo is about to explode. Winn warns her that the more he uses it, the quicker it will explode. Martian Manhunter arrives and just as Metallo explodes, the heroes get away with Lena. Later on, Lena’s name is cleared and in a later scene, she thanks Kara for believing in her. Kara comes clean about her feelings to Mon-El and as they are about to share a kiss, a mysterious man appear in her apartment. A lot went down in tonight’s big episode that we have to discuss.
