“Well, a few months ago, I found myself in a sticky situation. Also, they could make them romantically involved and I am never opposed to two beautiful people being together.“What? Really? How?” I asked, genuinely interested at that moment.Īt this point we had reached the superstore and we were trudging up the drinks isle. They could easily leave Kara and William as great plutonic friends and coworkers and I would be a happy viewer. These two have had a unique and unordinary journey, and I honestly do not know where the showrunners are going with this. The final point of this episode that stood out to me was the relationship between our favorite Kryptonian girl Kara and the stunningly handsome Catco reporter in William. This plan is finally coming to fruition and I expect to see Kelly Olson dawn the Guardian guise sooner rather than later. Alex knew this, saw her girlfriend kick butt during Crisis, and set up a plan. Since Jimmy Olson left National City to build a small-town newspaper, there has been no Guardian to look over the people. After the last crossover in the Arrowverse and we saw Kelly wield her brother’s shield. The closing scene for Kelly is what everyone has been waiting to see for weeks now.

In this episode, her social worker job has her looking after an alien orphan named Orlando Davis, who is unable to control his alien abilities because of emotional unrest. So when it comes to Kelly, a black woman, her story within this episode is all the more poignant and beautiful. Supergirl Season 6, Episode 9 Recap: Kelly begins guarding I am assuming the civil unrest following George Floyd’s murder impacted this show like it has many television series, but it should be mentioned Supergirl has been doing its part for years now. After the whole Obsidian debacle, we now see Kelly as a social worker who is specializing in alien children.Īlthough Supergirl has never shied away from drawing not-so-small references and comparisons to alien species on Earth and undocumented immigrants, the show is taking it to another level. When we last saw Kelly Olsen, she was doubting how strong she was as a person considering she is surrounded by superheroes and geniuses. I do not know if this will lead to a divide and resentment from Nia Nal, but I do know this is going to be a prominent talking point for at least the rest of Season 6.
The friends were discussing Lena and how she was in search of some answers about her birth family, which made Nia (with her sleeping issues mentioned above) visibly upset.

We were reminded that Nxyly’s desired answers are more Shakespearean in nature, but I do think her mission is similar to Nia’s. Both the 5th dimension imp and the Naltorian have their own parental issues and desire to get some answers from them. The comparisons between Nyxly and Nia are not necessarily in the audiences face’s but they are beautifully written into the episode.

Although she did not receive any answers about her family just yet, she did gain an uneasy ally with Nyxly. This is subtly referenced with Nia chasing after her mom through the trees and a forest within the dream plane. During Nia’s Naltorians dreams, she is chasing after her deceased mother to try and get some answers about her family and her ancestral roots. Nyxly’s role in this episode is sewing the seeds to her being the big bad for Supergirl Season 6. Supergirl Season 6 Episode 9 Recap: Nia and Nyxly have a lot in common Audiences could tell she was bad news, but since she was not in immediate opposition to Kara, we knew her time would eventually come. This fifth dimension Imp princess has been a slow-burning villain since we first met her in the Phantom Zone needing revenge against her father.
After being teased in the previous episode, Nia looks to have a dream about that dastardly Nyxlygsptlnz (or Nyxly to people who can’t pronounce her full name). The first story that received a deep dive is all about Nia Nal/Dreamer.
