![]() Hopefully these two will be able to lean on each other, because Alex is right – the only way out is through, and they can only get through it together. She was so afraid for Kara’s safety that she can’t simply go back to normal. Viewers know that Alex is experiencing something similar, but of course both Danvers sisters try to grit through it. It’s the kind of emotional fallout that makes sense for someone like Kara, who tries to always be the one shouldering the burden – which is probably why she’s also trying to hide the fact that she’s struggling now that she’s finally back. Kara tries to manage triggering reminders of the phantoms with friends, family, and at work, which is only compounded by the realization that the team’s efforts to save her unleashed phantoms on innocent people in National City and an assignment to cover how “Supergirl” took on the phantoms in her absence. Throughout the episode, everyone struggles with Kara and Zor-El’s time in the Phantom Zone. Hopefully they will continue to look out for each other as they set off on the very different journeys this episode sets up: Nia presumably taking on Nyxly and Lena looking for her biological mother. They’re also uniquely capable of understanding what the other is going through, regarding their strained (strange?) relationships with their mothers. The pair are both smart, observant people who tend to keep struggles to themselves, who have been missing Kara each in their own way. Nia and Lena’s bond continues to grow, and it’s a welcome highlight of this great episode, a return to form after the lackluster midseason finale. ![]() “It was a lot of fun to be able to put that ‘S’ on my chest and to play like I was eight years old again.” We spoke with Behr about the episode, who called it “a real honor” to be asked to be part of the beloved show’s final chapter. Posing as Kara’s Uncle Archie, Zor-El stops by Catco, lifts a big ol’ copy machine, flies to the rescue alongside Supergirl, tries to solve climate change, and apparently even found time to catch up on Sesame Street. Guest star/CW legacy player Jason Behr ( Roswell, Roswell, NM) caps off his time on Supergirl as Kara’s biological father, Zor-El, by getting to know the Girl of Steel’s life in National City before he heads to Argo City to reunite with his wife and the surviving Kryptonians. But from the first time we see Kara in this episode under the sun lamps, it’s clear that the events of the first half of the season will stay with her for a while. She’s finally reunited with her sister and her team, and she got that long-awaited hug with Lena – without whom she would still be in the Phantom Zone, as she pointed out. Supergirl is back! But it’s not all ice cream cones and pizza parties just yet. This SUPERGIRL article contains spoilers for Season 6, Episode 8, “Welcome Back, Kara!” Supergirl Season 6 Episode 8
