It's been a race for the totems and thus far, Supergirl's been able to grab one, and Nyxly has been able to keep one. We know from other episode synopses that the Dream and Hope totems are next in line for the dueling teams but let's take a look ahead to the fourth to last episode of Supergirl ever and see who's making a big return! While Nyxly's empathy was too much to handle, it seems the characters will be facing something crazier: love. Mix in Lex Luthor and you have a fascinating twist to the mix and team Supergirl will have to face off against their two greatest foes, united at the same time! Read the full synopsis for yourself below:
LEX RETURNS – When Lex Luthor (guest star Jon Cryer) appears by Nyxly’s (Peta Sergeant) side, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and team must deal with the emotional fallout of facing their two biggest foes at the same time. Alex (Chyler Leigh) makes plans for the perfect proposal to Kelly (Azie Tesfai), but work keeps getting in the way. The episode was directed by Jesse Warn and written by Dana Horgan & Nicki Holcomb (#617). Original airdate 10/26/2021.

it wouldn't surprise me. cw shows have a tendency to move couples along pretty fast sometimes
"Lex is not only returning, but he's finally going to fall in love with a character who is his equal, who might be named Nyxly [Peta Sergeant]," co-showrunner Jessica Queller tells EW with a laugh.
There’s nothing that says the romance isn’t completely totem induced or that it lasts. I can see a working relationship between Nyxly and Lex. Lex probably has been reading William’s stories and manages to find Nyxly. How many times have we been intentionally misled by a synopsis over the years and my guess is they’re only going to get shorter and vaguer.

I have also really disliked what the show has essentially made Lex the most important villain of this show, having him return for three different seasons, basically taking Superman's villain, instead of having the main villain be somebody who is central to Supergirl and linked to her. But if they have to use him, I would at least see him used well. This just feels very scattershot.
If they have to use him, I would have preferred if it had been clear that he is working from behind the scenes and Team Supergirl actually makes concrete moves to try to investigate and stop him.
