We are less than two hours away from an all new episode of Supergirl where our very own Azie Tesfai co-wrote and Arrowverse alum, David Ramsay returns as guest star and director. That said, for some reason The CW has opted to share with you images for the following episode right now! The schedule of release is getting a little different toward the end of the series. Nonetheless, more Supergirl content is always ok with us! In the new images we see a more earthly looking Lena. Perhaps that isn't the right descriptor but she isn't in a suit and she does need to use her magical powers to help team Supergirl. Check out the images below:

Magical Thinking Synopsis
9/16/2021 6:11 pm
To be read in the Harry Potter movie series tone: "You're a witch, Lena"! There's no other way to put it. Our favorite genius billionaire is also a wielder of the dark arts and can provide the very power that might take Nxyly down. At least we think so. In the new synopsis for October fifth's all new episode, Lena is uncertain about using her new abilities but it will be Supergirl that needs them to help her find more totems! William is going to be beating his head against the wall trying to come up with more superfriends stories for Andrea and Kelly has a little girl's future to think of! Read the full synopsis for yourself below:
LENA MUST ACCEPT HER NEWFOUND POWERS IN ORDER TO HELP THE SUPER FRIENDS – Lena (Katie McGrath) is uncertain about using her magical abilities to help Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) retrieve the second totem from Nyxly (Peta Sergeant). William (Staz Nair) struggles to write a story on the Super Friends that makes both the heroes and Andrea (Julie Gonzalo) happy. Meanwhile, Kelly (Azie Tesfai) is thrilled Esme (guest star Mila Jones) has found a new home, but things go awry and the little girl’s future is put in danger.

Mxy in the Middle Recap
9/14/2021 7:00 pm
Welcome back Supergirl fans! We are so excited for tonight's all new episode of Supergirl! Thomas Lennon has been one of those landmark casting choices and his version of Mr. Mxyzptlk being an ally and non-romantic partner to Supergirl has brightened our days and our screens! Tonight, Mxy returns to help Supergirl battle Nyxly who has regained her magical powers! Magic, like Kryptonite, seems to work against Kryptonians and Supergirl will need Mxy's magic to help get control of the situation. Of course, there were promises of some singing as well and we are always looking forward to that! Here's what stood out to us:
- Mr. Mxyzptlk: Mxy arrives and fights off the wrath of Nxyly, not now knowing that the princess escaped. He saves Kara, and they go back to base to debrief the others. Mxy explains that imps can track each other's energies. Instead of breaking things down, Mxy decides a song and dance will do to explain the history of Nxyly. He also explains the purpose of the all stone and the evil imp Jarrod who attempted to claim the world. Nxyly uses a crystal ball to find seven totems that will bring back the all stone. For the plan to work, she needs the blood of Jarrod, which Mxy has. Nia has another vision of crows eating Mxy, which Brainy notices. She attempts to dodge his questions, but decides to tell Brainy about the deal she made. Brainy suggests to tell Kara, and knows she will understand Nia. Lena, who is in Newfoundland, gets a call from Andrea. Lena asks if Andrea found out who the other women in the photo with her mother are. Andrea agrees to keep searching for their identities. Lena stops by an inn, but is quickly tossed out when they find out she is searching the history of her mother. The innkeepers seem disturbed, and whispers something about being a witch. The super friends discuss how to trap Nxyly. Mxy suggests the warp gun, but it isn’t powered. Kara reminds him that the shard Mon-El had could power it, but it was destroyed. He tells Kara he simply hid it, and she flies off to retrieve it.
- Menagerie: Nxyly is taking control of the Menagerie's ship. She dispatches the alien who owns the ship with her powers. Lena can't find a room in the city where she was born and when she heads to a local pub to find out why, she is also kicked out because the town seemed to hate her mother.
- The Coven: Lena is able to ask enough questions to disarm the pub owner. She begins to tell the story of their mothers. They were in some kind of coven. Without the ability to use his magic, Mxy isn't able to be very helpful and he is feeling it from team Supergirl. Nxyly has unleased a huge monster cat on National City where team Supergirl attempts to bring the cat down. Dreamer attempts to suck the cat into the dream world. Supergirl uses her heat vision like a laser pointer to help push the cat into the portal. Nxyly shows up to mock team Supergirl and demands they bring Mxy to the park in two hours.
- Lena's Past: Lena is upset by what she learned at the pub, she is headed home but Andrea convinces her to stay. Seeing Kara beat herself up about Nxyly, Dreamer confesses to Kara. Lena uses GPS to walk into the woods to find the outcast that might know more about her story. She finds a woman who's been waiting there for Lena all this time. Lena discovers she comes from a long line of witches. When one of the husbands started beating his wife, the witches burned the house down. It was an accident but the town turned on them. Lena's mother escaped to the States where she met Lionel Luthor. Dreamer and Supergirl have a plan. Dreamer is going to use Brainy's image inducer to get close to Nxyly and put the power dampening cuffs on her.
- 5th Dimensional Problems: The team's plan fails and Nyxly is pissed. Nxyly summons a Kryptonite breathing dragon and traps team Supergirl. Just as the dragon comes to kill, Mxy shows up to save the team. Before Nxyly can trap Mxy, Supergirl appeals to Nxyly to be better. She disarms Alex who had the Phantom Zone Projector and Supergirl picks it up. Just as Supergirl is prepared to send Nxyly back, Mxy asks her not to. He is pulled into the orb but it seems like Mxy might have a plan.
In the final wrap up moments, the team mourns the loss of Mxy, but they are convinced they can get him back somehow. Lena looks through old photos of her mother in her coven. While in the cave, it is revealed that Lena has her mother's gift. Magic doesn't follow the laws of physics and Lena struggles to understand. Back on the menagerie ship, the alien there convinces Nxyly to join forces. They are looking for the totems.

Blind Spots Gallery

There have been quite a few pivotal episodes of Supergirl throughout the years. There were the episodes on CBS, the 100th episode, the musical, all the crossovers. We could go on and on but speaking of pivotal episodes, "Blind Spots" is certainly going to be one of those! For the first time in the show and in the Arrowverse as a whole, an actor has co-written an episode! That writer is of course, Azie Tesfai aka Kelly Olsen! To make this episode even more special is that it features the final arc appearance of John Diggle's return to the Arrowverse post Arrow and he is pulling double-duty since he is directing the episode as well! Check out these 20 new images from episode 612 below:

The Gauntlet Synopsis
9/10/2021 4:49 pm
New synopsis day today! It is always a toss up if we get a synopsis on Wednesday,Thrusday or late on Friday. Usually in our experience, we notice that if it's late on a Friday, it's because they want to bury the story in the weekend because the synopsis has good spoilers. Looking ahead to episode 613, we think that is the case. Mxyzptlk won't be able to get rid of Nyxly as easily as we hoped because she is still around and she and Kara are going to go toe to toe for some kind of magical totem! Furthermore, we catch back up with Lena who has gotten a new power? Like Superpower? Your guess is as good as ours, read the full synopsis below:
SUPERGIRL MUST PASS THE TEST OF COURAGE – Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and team race Nyxly (Peta Sergeant) for control of a magical totem that controls courage. Supergirl and Nyxly battle and each get a piece of the totem but learn the first person to pass the test of courage will gain control of the entire thing. Meanwhile, Lena (Katie McGrath) is still struggling to make sense of her newfound gift. The episode was directed by Tawnia McKiernan with story by Dana Horgan and teleplay by Jay Faerber & Brooke Pohl (#613). Original airdate 9/28/2021.
