Hope for Tomorrow Recap
10/12/2021 7:00 pm
By now, if you've been a fan of Supergirl as long as we have, you know the drill. When a synopsis gives very little, it usually means that there are going to be some big events in an episode. Going back to the synopsis for this episode tonight, we really only took on two major events. The first is that Supergirl's strategy in fighting against Nyxly needs to change. This specifically occurs when Nyxly takes William prisoner! The next major event was even more cryptic, Alex faces the biggest challenge of her life. Marriage proposal? The death of her sister? Either way, the puzzle is solved in this all new episode of Supergirl, here's what stood out to us:
- Esme: Alex and Kelly have set full on adoption of Esme in motion. For now she is a just a foster but in 6 months Alex and Kelly will officially have custody of her forever! Kara brings over some toys she had when she first arrived on Earth. Esme's powers are to mimic other aliens and she accidently phases through a wall but J'onn is able to get her. She is rattled but Alex is there to set the record straight and calm her. Nyxly has found a way to use the Courage Totem and she's set her eyes on the Hope Totem. Nyxly tries to take over Kara and J'onn's courage but they best her. She then uses her ship to beam away.
- Esme at the Tower: Alex takes Esme to see Brainy at the tower to help her get control of her mimic powers. A new gauntlet has appear for the Hope totem. Both sides now need to figure out how to finish the gauntlet. Lena continues to research magic and see if there is a charm she can use to find Nyxly's ship. Supergirl heads down to help with Esme and Esme figures out who Supergirl really is almost immediately. Esme can mimic Supergirl's powers and since Kara is her aunt, Esme will be around Kara a lot. She needs to be able to control Kryptonian powers. Esme tries superhearing but it's too much for her and she runs away. Nyxly has come up with a plan. She is going to let Supergirl win the totem then kidnap William and use him as ransom.
- International Peace: J'onn is tasked with keeping peace talks on course after being affected by the courage totem. Supergirl shares a moment with Lena about how awful her power share went with Esme. Lena suggests that Kara try the Hope test, not Supergirl. Kelly and Alex talk about their missteps with Esme. Kara writes a piece on the positive aspects of the world and Andrea is not having it. Just then Nyxly arrives to put her plan in motion.
- Ultimatum: Supergirl works hard to try and find a way through the hope totem. Nyxly and William discuss the free press. Kelly and Alex take Esme to the Truth Seeker. They are able to show Esme that they will never send her away and they can't lie. The international peace talks have broken down. With war being on the brink, Kara makes a choice to involve herself in the course of human history and disarm both countries of their arsenal.
- Missle Attack: Kara is able to freeze and catch the missle attack. J'onn grabs another one and Brainy grabs them both. J'onn and Kara end up grabbing all the missiles from both countries and J'onn flies them into the sun. This unlocks the hope totem. Kara then goes to save William. They attempt to use magic on Nyxly but it fails. There is a mad dash for the three totems in play and Kara and William seem to prevail with some totems.
In the final wrap up moments, it is revealed that Supergirl has all three totems now. Team Supergirl considers destroying at least one totem to prevent the All Stone from being created. They consider destroying the Hope totem with a vision that Supergirl could restore it. Alex and Kelly share excitement about being parents and Kara uses the suit to fly to the sun and destroy the Hope totem. Lex then gives Nyxly the Lexo-suit!

Magical Thinking Recap
10/5/2021 7:00 pm
Nyxly is doing her absolute best to get the totems before Supergirl can and it would seem that Nyxly is pretty darn good at it. From the preview of tonight's all new episode, Nyxly has already acquired another totem and the effect it has on the city doesn't concern her, but that does force team Supergirl into action. We also know from the episode synopsis that Lena's new witch abilities are going to be tested and necessary for Supergirl to keep herself in this race against Nyxly. Executive Producers Jessica Queller and Robert Rovner have said that Nyxly is easily the most dangerous villain Supergirl has faced in the series and we can see why, here's what stood out to us:
- Game Night: The super friends are having a fun game night, in hopes of cheering Supergirl up. Kara is too anxious to play. Lena and Nia combine the spell book and dream interpretation to find a solution to disconnecting their link. Kara mentions that Will will be embedded in the Superfriend’s headquarters. Kara starts laughing uncontrollably, her mind still emotionally connected to Nxyly. William meets the team at the tower and they lay down the ground rules. Before reporting on a story, he must run it by them. Nxyly crashes an MMA ring, confronting one of the fighters who unknowingly holds the second totem. When the totem asks is she is worthy, she is surprised to learn there is no test. As she leaves, Supergirl appears to stop her, asking for back up from the team.
- Humanity Totem: The area of the affected is minimized in National City which allows J'onn, Alex and Kelly to contain the people who began fighting. Supergirl returns to the tower where Lena is working on a way to find Nyxly. William wants to name Nyxly as an enemy of the people in his article. Kara attempts to persuade him from doing so. Back at Catco, William is being pressured to name names by Andrea. Lena attempts a spell on Nia and confuses her left from right. She is disoriented. Kara returns to note that the people are continuing to fight. They need Lena's spell to work as Nyxly is gaining totems fast.
- Seeking Spell: The science mind of Lena has perfectly measured and mixed the spell ingredients necessary but the spell doesn't work. William speaks with Lena who's advice is to think about the ingredients not the measurements. You have to bake in your own way. The affected area continues to grow and affect more people. Lena has found an ingredient she needs but it's at the heart of the fighting. William is going to guide her with his war reporting experience. In Kaznia, Nyxly is able to sneak into the embassy to find the next totem. Lena's spell is cast and it seems to worsen the humanity totem's affect. This has a side consequence however, which makes Nyxly unable to kill.
- Backfired Magic: Lena is very worried about her magic since it seems to have caused more people to be callous. Supergirl doesn't see a path forward and convinces Lena to keep trying to fix the situation. Nyxly is overwhelmed with humanity's compassion. She develops a plan where she won't hurt anyone going forward. Supergirl develops a plan to keep pushing humanity into Nyxly so she can't keep going. Lena is appalled at this suggestion and tries to convince Supergirl to not proceed with her plan. In a twist, suddenly Lena is aboard with Kara's plan as long as William reports on it. Honestly, we were a little lost on how this swap of opinion happened.
- Spell of Enhancement: Lena casts her spell and the Superfriends attempt to hold back all of the chaos. Nyxly is further infected with humanity. Nyxly is determined to give back the humanity she's taken. She sets course back to National City. Supergirl's plan seems to have worked and Nyxly returns the humanity and thus reveals her position so Supergirl can find her ship. Supergirl lets the ship escape so she can capture the Humanity totem for herself. As long as she has one, Nyxly is blocked.
In the final wrap up moments of the show, the team sets their sights on the next totem. Dreamer thinks she can help with it and they focus on getting that totem next. William uses his article to push Andrea off of him. He is the one with the Superfriends and she needs those stories. Lena and Kara speak about boundries and share dinner. Esme, Alex and Kelly all touch base after Esme was left to face the marauders by herself. Alex and Kelly share a look and seem to agree in a glance to go with Esme.

Nightmare in National City Synopsis
10/1/2021 9:42 am
To us, when it comes to the dream totem, there is no one better to be able to find such a totem than Dreamer! What stands out to us though is that Supergirl is going to face an old Superman troupe, can she be Kara Danvers when she has the abilities of Supergirl. In many ways, the Kryptonian power set is considered god-like. If Kara is so powerful, how selfish is it of her to live her own life? That will be considered when a giant dream monster attacks the city when Kara is being interviewed and can't go to assist the team in dispatching the monster! Read the full synopsis for yourself below:
NIA CONFRONTS HER SISTER – Kara (Melissa Benoist) lands her dream story for Catco but when the city is suddenly attacked by a nightmare monster at the same time as her interview, she is forced to take a serious look at her life and decide if she can continue to live as both Kara and Supergirl. As Dreamer (Nicole Maines) takes the lead on the search for the Dream Totem, which can vanquish they nightmare monster in National City, she realizes she needs to ask her sister Mauve (guest star Hannah James) for help. Old wounds resurface as the two sisters come face to face. The episode was directed by Eric Dean Seaton written by Rob Wright and Jess Kardos (#616). Original airdate 10/19/2021.

Hope is a word that has been in the Supergirl lexicon ever since day one! Her symbol stands for hope, Supergirl inspires hope, and in the absence of all else, Supergirl gives hope. That said, when "Hope" appears in an episode title, it's usually a big deal! Tonight, The CW has released 12 new images from season six's episode fifteen. There are some pretty standard images of the team in the tower and they are clearly working the problem, but what stands out the most to us is Willaim. He looks like he's been possessed by Nyxly somehow. That or he's got some kind of sickness. Check out the images for yourself below:
