Then he looks outside and locks eyes with a woman standing on the wing before she launches into flight.
She gives Samantha a pamphlet and invites them to join their community.
Later that day, Lena takes Kara to Samanthas office to discuss a big merger.

Then Kara spots the brochure.
Recognizing a religious symbol from Krypton, she takes it and decides to hit the meeting.
James and Winn tag along to soak up the creepy cult vibes.
A young woman named Olivia greets them and describes her first meeting as transformative.
Then the man from the plane steps to the pulpit.
Whose grace, exactly?
Why, Supergirl, of course.
She talks about drunkenly falling off a roof and getting rescued by Supergirl.
James asks Kara if she recalls that rescue, and Kara whispers, I remember all of them.
Later, girls night gets awkward fast.
Samantha brings up Karas dating status and then refers to Alex and Maggie having kids someday.
Kara watches Alexs face twist as Maggie says theyll be the cool aunts someday.
Then a police siren pierces the night, and Kara runs to get ice.
So Kara dons her journalist attire and interviews Coville about his group endangering themselves.
Coville calls it a test of faith and then asks if Supergirl is there to testhisfaith.
Karas too shocked to deny it.
He promises to keep her secret and help her if shes lost.
When Lena comes in, Samantha cries and says she feels like a terrible mother.
That is how you raise a girl to be a badass, Lena says.
At the same time, James and Kara bond over religion.
Covilles service reminded Kara of how important Raos teachings were to her, like church was for James.
As he fell, he prayed for someone to save him.
And suddenly Superman was there to grab his hand.
He says that Clark shows up, and Kara does, too.
Youre something that we can see, something that we can touch.
How are you not a miracle?
Like I said, amazing, and perhaps the best James scene of the series.
He also points out that Kara has part of her culture back, then accidentally activates the obelisks recording.
Kara realizes what it is and rushes to the DEO to ask Winn to track a Betahedron signature.
Kara realizes that Coville must have one of the probes.
Kara flies to the stadium, while Alex zips behind on her motorcycle.
She stumbles and intentionally cuts her hand, using her blood as proof that shes no god.
Her veins and eyes begin to glow green as she begs Coville to deactivate the probe.
This contains the explosion as Supergirl slumps unconscious at the edge of the hole.
The next day, Kara visits Coville in jail to ask if hes going to reveal her identity.
Thats not who you are.
But heisworried for her.
He declares Raos purpose for him is to bring Supergirl back to clarity, purpose, and peace.
And so I will continue to pray to you.
But I will also prayforyou.
Im…honestly torn about whether this is creepy or touching.
Because on the one hand, this level of devotion is unsettling and also how arenas get blown up.
In light of that, Im putting Covilles statement at 90/10 on the creepy/touching scale.
hey let me know if your ratio differs.
Theyre not worshipping you.
Theyre inspired by you, Alex whispers.
Me, puddle, floor.
I want to be a mom, she tells her sister.
What am I going to do?
Chyler Leigh isgut-wrenchinghere, and Kara has no answers for her sister.
Jonn joins his father in prayer as Kara says, Rao binds us to those we love.
Coville prays in his cell as Kara says, In the darkest place, he guides us.
And we shall rise, a fire in His hearth, burning and free.
Ill admit, I didnt expect an exploration of faith on Karas mother planet to be so moving.
One day soon you will reign.
Samantha cowers on the floor until Ruby snaps her out of it and she finds the writing gone.
