The organization that was once the backbone of this series was completely decimated in a move that accomplished two important things: First, it got rid of a location that no longer serves a purpose on the show since Alex left and Lex Luthor took over — the characters have stopped using it as a place to congregate and the move away from villain-of-the-week storytelling rendered it obsolete. And second, it finally upped the stakes of what Leviathan can accomplish on the show while also tying it back to the comic book arc in a concrete way. We still don't really know what Leviathan wants, but we're officially at DEFCON 1 now that we see how high the stakes are. Plus, Lena has finally seen the light about Lex (about time!) after the most bone-chilling performance from Jon Cryer as Lex's fury finally cracked his calm and calculated facade, driving her to apologize to and team up with Kara. That moment was long overdue, and it feels like a giant weight has been lifted from the show. Lena and Kara might never get back to the kind of friendship they had in the past after all Lena's done this season to push Kara away, but this is definitely a step in the right direction. And with Alex deciding to go full vigilante after Kelly's pep talk, the thought of her getting a suit and a name is too good. We're in a good place heading into the finale, albeit earlier than anticipated. Hopefully Supergirl is as lucky as The Flash on that front. —Sydney Bucksbaum
