With three episodes left in the season, “Supergirl” deals a few emotional cards in “Will the Real Miss Tessmacher Please Stand Up?” Alex gets a life changing call and bonds with Kelly, while Kara and Lena head to Kaznia on a mission to uncover Lex’s plot. Lockwood’s quest for vengeance takes an unusual turn.
Healing Your Heart | As Alex and Kelly are out jogging, the two now besties apparently, Alex gets a call that a 17 year old girl in labor has picked her to adopt her upcoming baby. Alex and Kelly fly to where the hospital is and await the birth, bonding over chocolate while they wait, but Alex gets a call telling her that a priest convinced the mother to keep the baby. Okay, what does a priest care if a teenager gives up a child for adoption? If it was an abortion, I could understand, but what’s the great sin of adoption? Kelly comforts a devastated Alex by admitting that not only was she engaged to a woman, but said woman is now dead and sent her a letter telling her that she’ll eventually find someone else. Alex wisely doesn’t kiss Kelly then and there, seeing as that would be wildly inappropriate, but come on, we all know where this is going.

Hunt for Justice | Adding to the Ben-Lockwood-is-a-total-douchebag counter, he walks out of his wife’s funeral- I’ll say that again: HE WALKS OUT OF HIS WIFE’S FUNERAL- to go hunt down Dreamer! Yes, he briefly mentions the alien who murdered his wife, but only after deciding to go after Dreamer. And again, he is trying to murder a transgender woman. How no one besides our heroes haven’t kicked this guy’s ass, I’ll never know.
But anyway, he does eventually arrest the alien who killed his wife, after finding Lena’s superhuman serum. When James and Dreamer confront him and Brainy convinces the DEO agents to turn against him, Lockwood injects himself with the serum and tries to kill them, until Martian Manhunter arrives and throws him into a gas truck. Bad news: It doesn’t kill him. Good news: His son is pissed at him for abandoning him at the funeral and vows to never forgive him. Well, at least someone knows he’s a dick!
So Close, and Yet So Far | Kara and Lena take an automated plane to Kaznia to track down Lex and find Eve, who spills a few crucial details of Lex’s plan, namely that a White House official is smuggling DEO prisoners for Lex, before suddenly acting very stupid. Lena and Kara find evidence of Snowbird’s existence, before it is revealed that Eve has found a way to clone herself. Eve escapes, and as Kara tries to find a way out, finds Snowbird’s room with photos of Kara, Alex and Lena over the walls. Kara distracts Lena from the room and then burns it down with her laser vision for some reason.
Lena gets to the jet and fights Eve, while Kara dons her cape and fights a bunch of Eve clones, while also referencing Ariana Grande, but the true Eve is nowhere to be found. On the flight home, Kara comes close to finally telling Lena that she’s Supergirl, but then Lena talks about how betrayed she felt by Eve and how Kara’s friendship is all that’s keeping her going. Kara stops talking, but tells James that once Lex is dealt with, she’ll tell Lena the truth. She then goes to the Oval Office to inform President Baker of the mole, but turns out Baker is part of the plot and has her taken away. Wait, a president who is working with a foreign government in a grab for power? Remind you of anyone?
