’Supergirl’: ‘Mr. & Mrs. Mxyzptlk’ Review

Supergirl opens up with where we left off last week as Kara and Mon-El get to know Mr. Mxyzptlk who is there to win Kara’s heart. However, this fifth-dimensional visitor has abilities that, pretty much, lets him to do whatever he wants as he teleports Mon-El to the D.E.O. when he tries to punch Mxyzptlk. Kara however isn’t interested in him, but Mxyzptlk isn’t going to give up that easily. Later on, when Supergirl is trying to stop robbers, Mxyzptlk tries to help her by almost shooting the baddies, but that’s not how the Girl of Steel rolls. Kara and Mon-El are having a big disagreement in how to defeat Mxy as he wants to kill him, while Kara is against it.

Alex is trying to get into Valentine’s Day spirit, but Maggie makes it clear that she isn’t the biggest fan of that holiday. As Kara fills Alex in on Mxyzptlk, Alex asks her about advice on how to celebrate Valentine’s Day with Maggie. Kara suggests that they just do it their own way and asks Alex to do something that Maggie likes. Later that night, Alex tries to surprise Maggie, but Maggie tells her that she doesn’t appreciate when people don’t respect her wishes and tries to leave. Alex tries to calm Maggie down who starts telling the story of how the Sawyer parents find out that Maggie was lesbian when she was 14 years old. Later, Maggie apologizes to Alex as the two women finally celebrate Valentine’s Day together.

When Parasite is, somehow, back in the city and is asking people. Supergirl and Mon-El tries to stop him, but Mxyzptlk, dressed up as Superman, swoops in and saves the day. Mxyzptlk reveals that he was the one that orchestrated the Parasite attack and when Mon-El mentions how to defeat the imp, Kara tries to deal it with it on her own. Later at the D.E.O, Kara and Mon-El have a massive fight about Mxyzptlk as they aren’t seeing eye-to-eye on how to deal with this situation.

Mon-El tries to take on Mxyzptlk alone, but he is way over his head. While Mon-El uses an amulet that he stole from the D.E.O., it isn’t enough to stop Mxyzptlk as he manages to destroy it. Kara shows up just as he is about to kill Mon-El and agrees to marry Mxyzptlk. The next day, Kara shows up at the Fortress of Solitude where Mxyzptlk is waiting for her. Kara drops the bomb that she was never going to marry him and that pisses Mxyzptlk off as he gives life to the Jor-El statue that starts to attack. Kara takes the statue down and locks the Fortress down while activating a self-destruction. Mxyzptlk begs her for the code and she manages to get him to write his name backwards which forces the imp to go back to the fifth dimension.

The episode ends with Mon-El congratulating Kara on taking Mxyzptlk down without killing him while also apologizing for how he behaved towards Kara earlier. Kara confesses that she didn’t mean everything that she said to Mon-El about him when they were arguing. As the two of them put their issues behind them, they share a kiss.
