Thats no way to leave us at the end of the midseason finale!

Butthe torpedo from the series premierewoke him up, and now they need the DEOs help to get home.

(Because they are not the cruelest people in the universe, they decline.)

At the party, Kara and Alex agree not to wallow about being alone for the holidays.

Truly, they are #SisterGoals.

Then Kara tells her new besties that she couldnt have gotten through the year without them.

Good editors do not openly speculate about framing a story.

I mean, what if they genuinely do have reason to panic?

He smarmily denies involvement and offers them a corporate Christmas gift for their troubles.

(They decline, which is a shame.

Edge is vile, but that looked like a nice mug.

Also, never turn down free chocolate.)

Kara has to watch as Mon-El tenderly wipes BBQ sauce off his wifes face.

Um, how dare they.RIBS IS A KARA/MON-EL THING.

When she arrives, he eagerly explains that shes facing the end of days.

Stealing that title for my new business cards!)

Coville says her coming is foretold in three stages.

First is the mark of the beast, which theyre now seeing.

Second is the work of the beast, which involves many deaths.

Finally comes the reign of the beast, when Worldkiller arrives to bring about the end of times.

Kara, naturally, wants no part of this conversation.

Also having an awkward conversation are Sam and Ruby.

Then she gives Ruby her gift: a necklace with a Supergirl pendant.

Samantha says she loves her and promises that theyre always stronger together.

Then somebody opens fire on them with a laser gun.

Okay, where, exactly, was he hiding that thing?

(InsertHighlanderjokehere for those old/geeky enough to appreciate it.)

Jonn suggests this might be Covilles work of the beast, but Kara continues to resist the idea.

Then Mon-El stops her to apologize that Imra upset her.

Yeeeeeah, Im gonna need Mon-El and Imra to stop trying to make Kara talk about this.

Also, they definitely need to stop cuddle training in spots where she can see them.

For Kara, I prescribe lots of wine and Adele, stat.

At CatCo, Sam arrives to confirm Lenas okay.

When she hears this, Sam coldly mutters, He shouldnt be alive.

No surprise, Reign went after Edge, who survives by hiding in his lead-lined panic room.

He immediately goes on TV to announce that hes notnotsaying it mightve been Supergirl.

He carefully sets their glasses down and kisses her back.

So thats a thing thats happening now, apparently.

In the end, Kara decides to be proactive and burns her own symbol into the top of CatCo.

(Um, way to advertise where you work, lady why not the DEO?

Not tall enough, maybe?)

Reign answers the call and flies to the rooftop, but before Kara leaves, Alex stops her.

Reign announces that shes from a time before fathoming, born to cleanse the scourge and deliver the awakening.

By now, Karas bloody and sporting a black eye.

Reign announces that Karas no god, and shes no devil.

asks some terribly tactless child in the crowd.

Honestly, its not looking good for the Girl of Steel.

Then we cut to Ruby at home, running downstairs and calling Merry Christmas!

But Samanthas dressed in all black and staring out the window with an artificially rigid posture.
