MOS 157 - S6E17 - I Believe in a Thing Called Love

Previously on Supergirl…Bitter Imp!  Totems, Totems, Totems.  Battle for the Universe as we know it!  Supergirl has been one step behind since Season 6 – Episode 8!!  Pew, Pew, big booms!  Supergirl destroyed the Hope Totem, the All Stone will never be completed. Wait…wha? Lex Luthor?!?!

Nyxly is not convinced that the "Fancy Banker" is the key to her success.  He (Lex) states that he is coming from the future, that he and Nyxly are partners and that in his future she did assemble the All Stone – but not in the right way and…she dead.  Lucky for her (WOW) Lex was there, secured her consciousness and put it in the Lex-O Suit that he delivered in the last episode.  Mitch identifies the fancy banker as Lex Luthor.  Nyxly knows Lex is the one who sent Kara into the Phantom Zone.  You know what Nyxly hates the most?  Men who send women into the Phantom Zone.  Lex zaps out of the scene.

Supergirl declares her CatCo quittedness to the Superfriends.  Brainy has a plan to draw Nyxly out so they can finally show down the showdown.  He needs Lena and Nia.  Supergirl and J'onn are working together, interrupted by Alex who shows off the bling she's going to put on Kelly!  There's a history lesson on the year ago that Alex and Kelly mutually cried out Hans Gruber as the best movie villain and here we are ready to make it a forever thing.  Esme could not care less about elaborate proposal planning as long as there's mozzie sticks.  My girl!!  Al's Bar is not available on their special night because it's all booked up for a special event.  Alex is majorly disappointed, and confused, because Al's is never booked for anything. L

Otis is thrilled to see Lex again, especially since he (Otis) is now on the LutherCorp Board of Directors – (Nice touch, writers – well played).  Otis tries to convince Lex that he doesn't need the Imp.  Lex explains that the only thing he wants is Nyxly – the love of his life.  Otis: "I'm sory, say what?"  Us:  "Bull*%&$&!!"  Lex has to convince Nyxly now that his heart and intentions toward her are genuine so that their relationship has a second chance (where she ain't…dead).  Otis no understand this but "if she loved you before just do that again."  Otis is a genius.

William's on the case putting out the latest press release about the Superfriends Plan!  In a Kryptonian witch séance they have surmised that the next Totem will be the Love one that Nyxly will target.  Lena's going to magic up a fake love totem with the same totem energy as the real thing, and they're going to lure her to their ultimate trap!  MuHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.  (Sorry.)  Alex almost proposes to Kelly in a car but that is interrupted by Nyxly's appearance.  (Whew.)  Lena creates a magical ring that Nyxly can't cross and then the fireworks start exchanging.  Nyxly is.  Almost.  Done.  For.  And then Lex Kryptonite's his way on the scene.  Lena is a touch furious and starts a fire with the fake totem.  "Miss me, Sis?" drolls Lex.

Nyxly is asking Lex how his sister can fake a totem, and fool her Mxy ball about its signal…and "how did you know where I was?" Lex reveals his little surveillance drone.  Imp.  No.  Pleased. "Creep!"  (She ain't wrong, y'all)  She rejects his offer to help and beams me up, Mitch!!  "I love you…" Lex whines to her absence.  Supergirl is healed with Lena's help and Supergirl wants to make sure Lena is OK, after seeing Lex and all.  Lena admits that her anger creates a FAWYER!  Lena needs to bench her magic and Supergirl agrees, "You're so much more to this team than magic."  AMEN, people, AMEN!  Andrea is drooling over William, drooling on William, drooling about William's news that Nyxly and Lex are working together.  William wants to make sure that the story is legit and Andrea ain't very interested.  He'll go undercover with Lex's organization if he has to.  The Superfriends can't figure out how Lex came back into the picture until Brainy realizes he's been hanging out in the 31^st century.  Brainy wants to use the totems that they have against the evil duo.  J'onn says they can use the energy of the totems instead of the totems themselves.  I reach for my Advil… Brainy is uber bothered that Lex has technology from the 31^st century and wishes he could know what Lex was up to.  He won't contact the Legion because the last time he knew future stuff he teamed up with Lex and things went fuzzbuckets.  Supergirl and J'onn figure they can only use the courage totem to work the plan.  What is the plan?  No earth-prime idea.  J'onn is going to go through Season 6 – Episode 13 "The Gauntlet" since Supergirl never passed it and she's not going to try now.  Thanks very much, writers!!  We go back in time to when J'onn lacked courage at the very end when the White Martians took out everything and everybody.  Not. This. Time. In. J'onn's.  Mind.

Lex and Otis go ove
