Speaking of Livewire, she and Kara played a highly entertaining game of catch-up during a rare moment of downtime, during which Kara introduced Imra as “my ex-boyfriend’s wife.” This blew her mind for multiple reasons, including the fact that she never knew Kara and Mon-El were ever a couple. (“Wait, Cosplay’s your ex-boyfriend? That’s some Real Housewives drama.”) Still, Kara insisted that she bears no ill will towards Imra: “It’s not her fault. It’s nobody’s fault.”
Kara & Co. eventually tracked down the priestess, though she hardly proved the answer to their prayers. In fact, she barely had time to deliver an off-the-cuff prophecy to Kara (Reign will destroy her, someone’s soul will be absorbed by darkness, her “pretty skin will soon be brittle scales,” etc.) before Reign arrived… and promptly killed her. (R.I.Priestess!)
To be fair, the priestess did share one useful bit of intel with Kara before being murked by Reign — that there are other Worldkillers out there, and they go by the names Pestilence and Purity — but a few more details would have been helpful. Human names? Last-known addresses? Twitter handles? Anything.
As if that wasn’t enough, this week’s episode found time for some unexpected “Sanvers” drama. Alex was practically breathless upon receiving a text from Maggie — kind of like how I get when I order dinner on Seamless — but was crushed to see that her ex merely needed Alex to mail her the passport she thinks she left in their nightstand. Fortunately, Alex had Ruby to distract her from her problems; she made it her personal mission to stop one of Ruby’s classmates from cyberbullying her, even threatening the poor girl with the FBI’s involvement. Is that… legal?
I’ll also admit to getting a little choked up hearing Alex talk about her ex, about how difficult it is to accept life without Maggie as her “new normal,” and about how she’s still hurting. The way Alex looked when she found out Maggie texted her, you’d have thought Floriana Lima was standing in the doorway, ready to give “Sanvers” another shot. Alex is wearing this breakup, and her pain is palpable. (Well done, Chyler Leigh.)
And as always, the episode’s final moments packed the biggest punches. Not only did Sam confide in Alex that she’s been “losing time,” but we also witnessed some girl named Julia get hit by two cars and live. L’s and G’s, I think we found our next Worldkiller.
OK, let’s talk: Were you as crushed by Livewire’s death as I was? Do you agree that this was the best episode of the season? Whatever’s on your mind, drop it in a comment below.
