However, this latest Supergirl episode gives me hope for both of these characters. It has felt like the showrunners are shunting them to the sidelines in this season. In my previous reviews, I had raised concerns about the handling of J’onn J’onzz and James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks). Great new directions for the supporting cast Whatever victories are won today, some prejudices run too deep to be fixed. Meanwhile, Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) makes progress working with Colonel Lauren Haley (April Parker Jones), who has been assigned by the President to observe the DEO and its workings.

Kara and J’onn J’onzz (David Harewood) decide to investigate this incident which they soon realize is connected to Jensen. Kara profiles an alien healer named Amadei (Adam Levy), but soon after her article is published, he is attacked. Now, it’s too big a risk for Kara Danvers to fight as Supergirl, so she decides to make a difference as a reporter. The Agent of Liberty (Sam Witwer) has infected DEO Agent Jensen (Anthony Konechny) with a power-stealing parasite, and all aliens are a target in episode 5 of Supergirl. With Supergirl out of commission, Kara Danvers and team have to find new ways to win the fight. The Agent of Liberty employs a new tactic to kill aliens and further his agenda.
