In the DEO, Alex has to break up a similar argument that erupts between her people.
Then we cut to Agent Liberty, in his mask and hate-watching Supergirl on the news.
Kara, meanwhile, has arrived at L-Corp with Big Belly Burger and a request for information on Mercy.
Lena says Mercy started as Lexs head of security and morphed into his close confidante.
This becomes a problem for Brainy, whos on a DEO mission at a local pizza place.
Also, his pizza and coffee name is Barney, if youre curious.)
Who knew that making pizzas required a passel of gone-to-seed former football players?
She threatens to expose their cruelty in a story and barks, Give him his pizzas.
Cape-less hero, right here!
Something tells me thatll be no problem for him.
James worries that if he pushes his readers too far, too fast, theyll accuse him of bias.
Still, James thanks her for sharing her truth.
Such a protective lioness!
Kara resorts to lagging behind and deflecting bullets with her hands, accusing the attackers of poor marksmanship.

But Jensen overhears this and decides to bust the Graves out of their cells.
Its the final push he needs to write his editorial, Justice is what matters now.
Hes grateful that Supergirls standing by him.
She straightens his tie and assures him, Youve got this, sir.
Jonn hasnt been idle this week, either.
He finds one of them in a bar, ranting about the world changing.
Hes a beat cop in Fionas neighborhood but claims not to know her.
Its always protect the aliens, protect the aliens.
Whos going to protect us?
he roars before leading the crowd in a chant of Earth first!
The green poison invades her body, and as she tumbles toward the Earth, we cut to black.
