Something else the episode did that mirrored season 1? Placing the narrative back in CatCo and giving the magazine itself a goal to overcome for the first time in too long, with Andrea Rojas’ well-meaning-but-somewhat-mean approach to save it harking back to its glory days when Cat Grant tried to do the same.Īnd that character journey is also based around the fallout of Lex Luthor’s time on the show as Andrea looks to redeem herself by redeeming the show’s iconic media outlet.

That wasn’t the case here, though, because the midseason premiere felt like it belonged in the show’s first season because it actually made time to focus on fallout. In recent years, it has just meandered through its stories in a very going-through-the-motions kind of way, forgoing any real emotional conflict just to get the plot-of-the-week neatly tied up in 42 – 45 minutes. Minutes into “Welcome Back, Kara”, it became clear that the show had shifted gears in a bid to deliver a worthy final season for fans. There aren’t any teases in regards to a new Big Bad but there is a reference to Nyxly so it seems like the show is setting her up as the final threat – you know, until Lex Luthor inevitably returns for one final showdown with Kara and the Super Friends. This inevitably leads to a discovery that the planet is slowly dying – which isn’t helped because of the toxic waste created by Lex’s DEO that leaked into the ocean – and an attempt to fix that with Kalex from the Fortress of Solitude unwittingly creates a toxic swamp monster, setting up the final fight between it and the Super Friends. Meanwhile, Zor-El wishes to see what his daughter’s life is like on Earth before he reunites with Alura on Argo City.

That also comes with the responsibility of interviewing those attacked by the Phantoms – something Kara cannot do as she hasn’t gotten over her own experiences with them. The midseason premiere essentially hit the reset button on everything we had seen so far in season 6 (and much of what we saw in season 5 too), centralizing the episode’s main narrative in CatCo.Ī return to the heart of the show is the perfect setting for Kara to put the Phantom Zone experience behind her but that proves to be easier said than done when Andrea tasks her with exploiting her connection to Supergirl so that she can write a piece about how she saved National City from the Phantoms.

The question is: How did it set up that final arc? Supergirl season 6 is now back to air the final 13 episodes of the series. The result? A mini-season about rescuing Kara from the Phantom Zone – which finally happened in the midseason finale’s concluding seconds.

The seven episodes that it aired between then and May were tasked with wrapping up season 5 and setting up season 6 while also attempting to make the limited use of series star Melissa Benoist work.
