It crashes and Supergirl sees the pod, she is cautioned by Martian Manhunter, but opens it to see a sleeping man (Chris Wood). J’onn (back in Hank form) takes her to another DEO headquarters and Supergirl is surprised that she never knew about it. Alex is there to check on the new alien still asleep and she introduces Winn to J’onzz. Kara is contacted by Cat Grant. Great to see Calista Flockhart back!

At the DEO, Supergirl walks in, but the agents are more impressed by Superman’s entrance. He greets the agents who are awe struck. Winn shakes his hand and asks about the earthquake set by Lex Luthor! Alex hugs Superman, he recognizes J’onn J’onzz, and Supergirl takes him to see the visitor.

At the elevator, Kara walks in with bumbling Clark Kent and he hugs James. Kara gets a call from Alex about Lena Luthor now at National City.

Kara talks to Clark over her relationship with James, he jokes that he has super telepathy, and tells her to trust herself. DEO, J’onn talks with Alex who mentions Operation Emerald. He explains when he first took over the DEO, he found a Kryptonite meteor which weakened Superman, but he kept it. Lena takes a helicopter and sees the two drones. They fire on the helicopter, but the gunfire is blocked by Superman and Supergirl. Superman blasts the drones around the city and uses his body to protect civilians from a drone. A man says, “We’re moving back to Gotham”! Night, Cat Grant doesn’t like Kara’s hesitation. She tells her to dive in. Lena has her press conference with Alex watching, James walks up, and then there are explosions. Supergirl protects James from the debris and holds up a falling Lex Corp building with Superman. Corbin in a police uniform is about to shoot Lena, but he is stopped by Alex. Supergirl uses construction pillars to shore up the building as Superman holds it up.
