9/21/2021 7:00 pm
It's a big night for the Arrowverse! First Stargirl deals with the aftermath of Eclipso, head over to Stargirl.tv for more on that, and tonight, Arrowverse royalty! First we have our very own Azie Tesfai who has become the first actor on an Arrowverse show to co-write and episode that she is in. Congratulations to Azie, we'll have a HUGE post episode interview with her coming soon where she'll break down everything, and we mean everything, in tonight's episode. Also joining tonight is David Ramsay aka John Diggle from Arrow! Not only did he guest star tonight, he also directed! The birth of the new Guardian, the conclusion to John's Green Lantern story, all up ahead! Here's what stood out to us:
- 24 Hours Earlier: If Kelly felt a bit absent last episode, it turns out this was on purpose. Blind spots takes place 24 hours earlier and shows Kelly's story during the Mxy and Nyxly battle. Kelly heads to the collapsed building where Orlando and other future residents are breathing in particles. Kelly rushes Orlando and his brother to the hospital. The city counsel woman is also there and she demands to be taken to a different hospital. There, she demands a new drug rp90. The drug reacts with 5th dimensional energy in the counsel woman's body and she is given powers. Kelly can't get anyone to pay attention at the hospital and she calls James for advice.
- Newfoundland: Lena works with the coven to develop her magical powers. She gets a news alert about Supergirl fighting the cat and she heads home immediately to help. Supergirl and team are working to track Nyxly. Kelly calls Andrea to complain about the news coverage of the building. They are running it through the traffic lens not the human cost lens. John Diggle arrives to help Kelly at the behest of James. Kelly notes that team Supergirl is facing off against Supervillains, they are missing the people. Kelly and John head to the collapsed building to find the source of what is making people sick. The counsel woman checks in on the building and it turns out she kills people when she uses her powers. They fuel her abilities. Team Supergirl runs into Diggle and Kelly who are also looking for the 5th dimensional energy. Meanwhile back at the city center, the counsel woman bribes another for her vote and the pay out causes more distress on the low income housing residents.
- Supergirl and Kelly: Kelly tries to explain the situation to Supergirl but she isn't really getting it. She is focused on getting Mxy back and stopping Nyxly. At the hospital, Diggle and Kelly discover 5th dimensional energy is in the residents. Diggle notes they may need to suit up to face this. Orlando faces off against the counsel woman and when her body guards attack, Kelly is there in the original Guardian costume to stop them. Diggle takes on the body guards and Kelly goes after the cousel woman. Kelly gets a grip on her but she flashes away. Back at the tower, Kelly calls out team Supergirl for not listening to her. Team Supergirl is after the cause but are missing the people that are hurting. Team Supergirl give her space and Diggle goes to speak with her. In his comfort for her we discover Diggle turned down the green lantern ring so he could be with his family. Kelly then defines the hero she wants to be. Diggle leaves to give Supergirl and Kelly some space. Supergirl finally hears Kelly for what she was trying to say.
- A Guardian for National City's Forgotten: Brainy has a plan to help the people and they are preparing to take back the 5th dimensional energy. They won't be able to use it to track Nyxly but the people are the priority. Brainy then makes the changes to James' suit and makes Kelly's Guardian! team Supergirl and Guardian arrive to stop the counsel woman and reclaim the 5th dimensional energy. The siphon they need to use has to be in line of sight with all those affected by the energy and the counsel woman. Guardian asks Orlando for trust and he is able to gather all those hurt out onto the street. Supergirl holds the counsel woman in place and Guardian is able to restore their energy to them healing the neighborhood. The missing energy goes to Nyxly however.
- Guardian to Stay: Guardian inspires Orlando to run for city counsel. The children start to play and pretend they are Guardian. Diggle returns to the tower and quotes Black Lightning. "Be a hero for the people"! Supergirl and Guardian speak and Supergirl gives her word she wants to continue the conversation. While the big stuff is always there for Supergirl to deal with, Guardian will remain the hero for the people. Nyxly has the location of the first totem and Lena returns home to find the magical book she left already there.
In the final wrap up moments, Kelly decompresses at home. Alex arrives and Kelly breaks down. She explains just how tired she is with this all and while she isn't able or ready to explain it all, she's happy to just be vulnerable with Alex. Check back with us shorty for our in-depth coversation with Azie Tesfai about tonight's historical episode!

We are less than two hours away from an all new episode of Supergirl where our very own Azie Tesfai co-wrote and Arrowverse alum, David Ramsay returns as guest star and director. That said, for some reason The CW has opted to share with you images for the following episode right now! The schedule of release is getting a little different toward the end of the series. Nonetheless, more Supergirl content is always ok with us! In the new images we see a more earthly looking Lena. Perhaps that isn't the right descriptor but she isn't in a suit and she does need to use her magical powers to help team Supergirl. Check out the images below:

Magical Thinking Synopsis
9/16/2021 6:11 pm
To be read in the Harry Potter movie series tone: "You're a witch, Lena"! There's no other way to put it. Our favorite genius billionaire is also a wielder of the dark arts and can provide the very power that might take Nxyly down. At least we think so. In the new synopsis for October fifth's all new episode, Lena is uncertain about using her new abilities but it will be Supergirl that needs them to help her find more totems! William is going to be beating his head against the wall trying to come up with more superfriends stories for Andrea and Kelly has a little girl's future to think of! Read the full synopsis for yourself below:
LENA MUST ACCEPT HER NEWFOUND POWERS IN ORDER TO HELP THE SUPER FRIENDS – Lena (Katie McGrath) is uncertain about using her magical abilities to help Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) retrieve the second totem from Nyxly (Peta Sergeant). William (Staz Nair) struggles to write a story on the Super Friends that makes both the heroes and Andrea (Julie Gonzalo) happy. Meanwhile, Kelly (Azie Tesfai) is thrilled Esme (guest star Mila Jones) has found a new home, but things go awry and the little girl’s future is put in danger. The episode was directed by Simon Burnett and written by Karen. E. Maser & Derek Simon (#614). Original airdate 10/5/2021.

Mxy in the Middle Recap
9/14/2021 7:00 pm
Welcome back Supergirl fans! We are so excited for tonight's all new episode of Supergirl! Thomas Lennon has been one of those landmark casting choices and his version of Mr. Mxyzptlk being an ally and non-romantic partner to Supergirl has brightened our days and our screens! Tonight, Mxy returns to help Supergirl battle Nyxly who has regained her magical powers! Magic, like Kryptonite, seems to work against Kryptonians and Supergirl will need Mxy's magic to help get control of the situation. Of course, there were promises of some singing as well and we are always looking forward to that! Here's what stood out to us:
- Mr. Mxyzptlk: Mxy arrives and fights off the wrath of Nxyly, not now knowing that the princess escaped. He saves Kara, and they go back to base to debrief the others. Mxy explains that imps can track each other's energies. Instead of breaking things down, Mxy decides a song and dance will do to explain the history of Nxyly. He also explains the purpose of the all stone and the evil imp Jarrod who attempted to claim the world. Nxyly uses a crystal ball to find seven totems that will bring back the all stone. For the plan to work, she needs the blood of Jarrod, which Mxy has. Nia has another vision of crows eating Mxy, which Brainy notices. She attempts to dodge his questions, but decides to tell Brainy about the deal she made. Brainy suggests to tell Kara, and knows she will understand Nia. Lena, who is in Newfoundland, gets a call from Andrea. Lena asks if Andrea found out who the other women in the photo with her mother are. Andrea agrees to keep searching for their identities. Lena stops by an inn, but is quickly tossed out when they find out she is searching the history of her mother. The innkeepers seem disturbed, and whispers something about being a witch. The super friends discuss how to trap Nxyly. Mxy suggests the warp gun, but it isn’t powered. Kara reminds him that the shard Mon-El had could power it, but it was destroyed. He tells Kara he simply hid it, and she flies off to retrieve it.
- Menagerie: Nxyly is taking control of the Menagerie's ship. She dispatches the alien who owns the ship with her powers. Lena can't find a room in the city where she was born and when she heads to a local pub to find out why, she is also kicked out because the town seemed to hate her mother.
- The Coven: Lena is able to ask enough questions to disarm the pub owner. She begins to tell the story of their mothers. They were in some kind of coven. Without the ability to use his magic, Mxy isn't able to be very helpful and he is feeling it from team Supergirl. Nxyly has unleased a huge monster cat on National City where team Supergirl attempts to bring the cat down. Dreamer attempts to suck the cat into the dream world. Supergirl uses her heat vision like a laser pointer to help push the cat into the portal. Nxyly shows up to mock team Supergirl and demands they bring Mxy to the park in two hours.
- Lena's Past: Lena is upset by what she learned at the pub, she is headed home but Andrea convinces her to stay. Seeing Kara beat herself up about Nxyly, Dreamer confesses to Kara. Lena uses GPS to walk into the woods to find the outcast that might know more about her story. She finds a woman who's been waiting there for Lena all this time. Lena discovers she comes from a long line of witches. When one of the husbands started beating his wife, the witches burned the house down. It was an accident but the town turned on them. Lena's mother escaped to the States where she met Lionel Luthor. Dreamer and Supergirl have a plan. Dreamer is going to use Brainy's image inducer to get close to Nxyly and put the power dampening cuffs on her.
- 5th Dimensional Problems: The team's plan fails and Nyxly is pissed. Nxyly summons a Kryptonite breathing dragon and traps team Supergirl. Just as the dragon comes to kill, Mxy shows up to save the team. Before Nxyly can trap Mxy, Supergirl appeals to Nxyly to be better. She disarms Alex who had the Phantom Zone Projector and Supergirl picks it up. Just as Supergirl is prepared to send Nxyly back, Mxy asks her not to. He is pulled into the orb but it seems like Mxy might have a plan.
In the final wrap up moments, the team mourns the loss of Mxy, but they are convinced they can get him back somehow. Lena looks through old photos of her mother in her coven. While in the cave, it is revealed that Lena has her mother's gift. Magic doesn't follow the laws of physics and Lena struggles to understand. Back on the menagerie ship, the alien there convinces Nxyly to join forces. They are looking for the totems.

There have been quite a few pivotal episodes of Supergirl throughout the years. There were the episodes on CBS, the 100th episode, the musical, all the crossovers. We could go on and on but speaking of pivotal episodes, "Blind Spots" is certainly going to be one of those! For the first time in the show and in the Arrowverse as a whole, an actor has co-written an episode! That writer is of course, Azie Tesfai aka Kelly Olsen! To make this episode even more special is that it features the final arc appearance of John Diggle's return to the Arrowverse post Arrow and he is pulling double-duty since he is directing the episode as well! Check out these 20 new images from episode 612 below:
