Supergirl – Season 6 Episode 6

“Prom Again!” Supegirl continues with Brainy and Nia’s time travel adventure with complications that risk threatening the timeline. I mentioned in my review of the previous episode that there was clear padding in order to make this story spill over onto a second episode.

Supergirl – Season 6 Episode 5

“Prom Night!” Supergirl sends Brainy and Nia back to 2009 in search of a DNA sample that will prove instrumental in freeing Kara from the Phantom Zone.

Supergirl – Season 3 Episode 6

“Midvale” Supergirl deals with the Alex/Maggie break-up with a return to the girls’ childhood home in Midvale to relive their youth and work through their issues.
