Mon-El returns to Earth changed, while Samantha goes through some changes of her own

Mon-Els back, everybody!

And hes really, really bad at delivering pertinent information in a timely fashion.

Wake Up

brown water, doesnt go terribly well.

Just look how many times hes glanced at his smart unit.

This story line makes my heart happy, and I hope we return to it often.

Winn uses geothermal cameras to reveal its location.

), Jonn uses his powers to transport them all onto the ship.

There, they discover the red liquid-filled tubes weve seen before, one of which is empty.

Before they can get their bearings, a man enters the room and opens fire on them.

Kara, he breathes, and she approaches him in wonder.

She hugs him tight, while he mostly looks shell-shocked.

Why was he speaking Saturnian on the ship?

Why is he the only one who woke up among the group of people he claims are mere passengers?

And Great Rao, will somebody like shave him?

Kara finally kicks everybody out and returns to his side.

Dont speak so quickly Mr. Olsen.

At the first opportunity, Mon-El sneaks into the weapons armory.

He knocks out two guards who attempt to stop him before being rendered senseless by a punch from Kara.

He wakes up in a holding cell with Kara waiting for an excuse he doesnt offer.

All she wanted was for him to come back, and now that hes finally here, hes different.

Winns the next to approach Mon-El, in case he feels like confiding in someone other than Kara.

He does, actually, telling Winn that he needs his help to get back to the ship.

If he doesnt, people will get hurt, including Kara.

I think I speak for the entire audience when I say this: EXPLAIN YOURSELF, SIR.

Acting like a man of mystery isnt helping anyone, least of all Kara.

Karas furious when they say theyre sneaking around for her own good.

He hastily tucks it back in, but Karas already recognized it.

No, its been seven years!

(In about 400 years, L-Corp develops a cure for the Daxamite lead allergy, FYI.)

But at that moment, warning sirens blare.

He desperately tries to break the glass, but cant.

(Give him a break; its white dwarf glass!).

So Supergirl steps up and breaks it, and young woman tumbles out.

After he leaves, Kara glumly says to Alex, Hes from the future.

Yeah, I can safely say I was not expecting that, Alex replies.

Kara joins Mon-El on the balcony.

He apologizes again, but says he never thought hed see her again and had to keep on living.

Mon-El races over to kiss her and introduces Kara to his wife.

THAT IS NOT HOW YOU BREAK THIS NEWS, MON-EL.

When nothing happens, she sends Ruby to a friends and heads to a house in the country.

Capable of lifting heavy things?

Patricia says no until Sam explains her newly discovered invulnerability to bullets.

Patricia then leads her to the barn, where shes stashed an alien pod covered in a tarp.

I swear, the No.

1 purpose of barns in the DC universe is for storing alien spacecraft.

I didnt adopt you.

I found you, in this, Patricia says.

She promises that Ruby is her heart, and shell tell her everything when she returns.

Cool, a Fortress of Sand-itude!

She enters the cavern, inserts the obelisk, and the woman from her visions appears.

Shes the culmination of centuries of work, a being designed to execute justice.

So that makes Sam a hero, right?

They will call you Worldkiller, the woman says.

Your justice will burn the world of man.

No matter, though; Sam will forget all about Ruby when she emerges as Reign.

Then Sam starts to scream and falls to her knees in agony.

It passes quickly, and she rises with glowing red eyes, a Worldkiller newly born.
