Howd you like those RussianSupergirlcredits?
Almost as surprising as Red Daughter herself.
He rips the famous globe statue off its mooring and holds it over his head like Atlas.

When Supergirl asks how he acquired his powers, he boasts, How do you think I did it?
Aaaaand here come the flashbacks.
(He takes notes in what Im assuming is Kryptonian, although I admit Im not fluent.)
Better make it thirty-two, he gloats, exiting the courtroom withMy Wayon the soundtrack.
Eve is in the crowd outside the courthouse, watching rapturously.
She visits Lex in his uncomfortably ornate conjugal visit cell.
(She asks him to call her Eve, but he prefers Miss Teschmacher.)
Lex: What do you know about CatCo?
Eve: Their circulations down.
But, uh, likely true.
He threatens the wardens mother to secure covert in-and-out privileges and hops on his private jet.
Lets pause for a second to collect ourselves because RED DAUGHTERS ONLY MEMORY IS OF HER SISTER.
Shes protecting the child, Mikhail, when Lex arrives.
she asks, and he rolls with it.
He convinces her theyre besties.
Red Daughter says she didnt know her own strength when she attacked, and Alex offers to teach her.
Then he gives her off-brand Oreos, and Red Daughter likes those very much.
Lex being Lex, hes got plans within plans.
Its all coming together, people!
Nicely played to cover that plot hole, show!
Red Daughters horrified that Supergirl defends these lazy pigs, so Lex brings her next to Kara Danvers apartment.
Thats right; Lex knows Supergirls secret identity!
(Which, since Karas in Smallville on vacation,doesseem like a waste, actually.)
She is like a princess in a tower, Red Daughter marvels, both disgusted and impressed.
And on a reporters salary, Lex adds.
She wraps herself in a red afghan (we see you there, echoing Supergirls cape!)
Then she puts on Karas glasses and a pink cardigan and heads into CatCo, where she meets Lena.
The cardigan looks juuuust slightly off with her Kaznian casual wear, which is such a perfect this-isnt-Kara touch.
No no no no no no.
You are not gonna go all apple pie-eating, flag-wavingPhillips Jenningson me.
Eve calls Lex in a panic, but hes got a plan, of course.
Lex crashes in wearing his Lexo-suit to yell at her about having to clean up her mess.
(Do you want Doctor Manhattans?Because thats how you get Doctor Manhattans.)
Newly cancered-up, Lex appears by hologram in Lenas office to ask for Harun-El help.
Lena Luthor, unflappable quip machine!
This, then, explains how the Luthor siblings ended up working together again.
Then we cut to Supergirl arriving at James hospital room to tell Alex that Lex escaped from prison.
Alex heads to find Lena and sends Supergirl and Jonn after Lex.
