(1) Since when is a coerced confession even relevant? And how does that get random beat cops to arrest a previously untouchable rich guy?
(2) blah blah blah friendship blah blah blah
(3) how did the most wanted terrorist in the world just sort of walk into a company and take it over?
(4) Wait, Mon-El can fly? could he fly before? I thought he couldn’t fly
(5) Why would Lilian use her fancy disappearing bullets to keep the secrets of someone trying to kill her daughter? If she knew that was going down, shouldn’t she have tried to save her daughter instead?
(6) Since when can Kara not change into her Supergirl outfit in 0.1 seconds?
(7) Also, what’s the point of disappearing bullets, as long as they still leave bullet holes behind? Not like it makes someone appear to have died of natural causes
(8) Sure it’s all basically magic, but what’s-her-face (Sam?) passing a blood draw and an MRI when we know she’s Reign seems a bit silly, even by the rules of the show universe, such as they are.
I’m confused. How is it that Sam can get a blood draw and Reign is invulnerable? And how on earth could her blood test be normal?
OK, Kara. Your friend Lena gets poisoned. Why not simply take the nanosecond to put your Supergirl outfit on and fly her to a hospital? Oh no, your sister would be so much better than trained and fully equipped doctors.
OK Jimmy. So you put the suit on and talk like you’re a chain smoker. But don’t you think that your eyes will give away your identity?
Let’s get the rest of the Legion. I want to see Bouncing Boy, Matter Eater Lad, Lightning Lad, and Colossal Boy.
IANAL but I do think a coerced confession could stand up in court if a) the coercer was not operating as an operative of law enforcement and b) the confession provided sufficient detail only known to the confessor.
And what’s the cover story they give to Eve Tessmacher - Jimmy races out of the office demanding to know where she got the coffee, and moments later, Kara and Lena are missing. Hope Eve doesn’t mention that to Lena who has been told that she was unconscious while paramedics took her to the hospital, cared for her and returned her to her home (Lena might be too rich to even wonder why she didn’t get a hospital bill).
I was actually very confused as to who did what to whom. Presumably Lena did not, in fact, sabotage Edge’s car. So who did? Was that Lillian? Likewise, did Edge actually poison Lena’s coffee, or did he just confess to that because she had a killer drone pointed at him? Or did Lillian do that, too? I wouldn’t put it past her.
I also agree that the cover story they gave Lena about the paramedics was pretty flimsy. Paramedics rushing into the boss’s office is something that the staff would notice. Will Lena be at all suspicious that nobody in the building seems to know anything about it?
I doubt Lena chats with the staff all that much. I suspect she’s distracted by Edge and Lillian.
Just for a moment, I wondered last night if maybe Lena might be a Worldkiller. Probably not, though. Wouldn’t it be interesting if it were someone else we know? Like Miss Tessmacher?
I think Morgan confessed only to poisoning the pool water that sickened the children, and to trying to kill Lena (meaning by putting her on the plane that was meant to crash). I don’t think he poisoned Lena’s coffee - that’s all Lillian (note that she had a gunman right outside Lena’s building ready to shoot the guy who delivered the poison - and how would she know he was there unless she was behind the whole thing).
But does Lillian know that Kara is Supergirl or that Lena had a chance to survive cyanide? (Is that even survivable?) THats quite the long game to play.
Otherwise - I agree that both attempts were from the same person - I am just not 100% sure who.
Lilian’s plan didn’t make sense. Lena was dying but Lilian shot her assassin with her invisible bullets as a clue? What if Lena had actually died? Then the clue is useless.
I also thought it was silly for an obviously coerced confession solve everything (even if we know it was a true confession the world doesn’t know that).
I think Lillian wants Lena either to be a true (happily evil) Luthor, or dead. If the poison kills her, fine. If Lena survives the poison and murders Edge (in mistaken revenge) - even better. If she survives and traces the bullet back to Lillian: okay (that just gives Lillian the chance to convert Lena to evil, and Lillian just knows that Lena secretly wants to join her anyway, so even having the conversation counts as a win). And if Edge convinces the whole world that Lena is trying to murder him, that just gives Lena more reason (in Lillian’s eyes) to give up on that whole being-good idea that drives Lillian up the wall.
At this point, you’ll have to throw everything you know about Kryptonians out the window. Reign is from Krypton, but clearly does not have the same Kryptonian powers and vulnerabilities. Maybe she can subconsciously turn them on and off, much like how she’s sometimes Sam and other times Reign.
I kept getting more and more bemused at how Lena Luthor, a genius raised by a brilliant family, a former child chess prodigy, can’t figure out that Kara is Supergirl. It really strains belief.
I mean, she knows that Kara dated Mon-El, and knows that he’s basically a Superman in his own right. She knows that Kara works for Jimmy Olsen, Superman’s buddy. She’s very likely seen Kara without glasses, and knows that Kara is friends with Supergirl (who always seems to turn up whenever danger happens around Kara). Why the hell can’t she at least *suspect *the truth?
Hell, why can’t she realize that Kara and Supergirl both have the same chickenpox scar on their left eyebrow? I can’t take my eyes off that thing, for some reason.
And what was up with that “don’t grab women” line? He was a body guard. It was his job to grab everybody. Is she really saying that she should be able to play the Woman Card and get special treatment?
Yeah, maybe. What with her throwing “sweetie” back in his face like that. Wilma Flintstone did it better when she said “How dare you pick on poor defenseless women!” and then Judo-threw her adversary across the room or knocked him senseless with her stone purse.
