Katie McGrath – Supergirl Katie McGrath has been quietly impressing audiences with her performances for years without ever receiving the attention she deserved. In fact, this writer clearly remembers being disgusted by the unforgivably grim hand her character in Jurassic World was dealt. However, when the talented performer came on-board Supergirl as Lena Luthor during its second season, she was finally given the chance to shine that she had long deserved.

The allure of Lena Luthor stems from the question as to whether or not she could ever really stray down that predictably dark path that her family name suggests she’s capable of. And yet, it often feels like the show relies on that a little too often (when the character has proven herself more than enough times already)… so when it made a whole season-long narrative out of it this year – as Lena worked with her brother Lex in response to discovering Kara’s dishonesty – it was questionable to say the least.

However, the penultimate episode of the season, “The Missing Link”, made it all worthwhile as Lena finally realized the error of her ways. No, that’s not right: Katie McGrath made it all worthwhile as it was her performance that truly convinced us.

Supergirl 5x19 - Immortal Kombat 😍

[mimeparadox]

I’m not saying the similarities between Alex’s new costume and Zoë Castillo’s Kickstarter bonus ensemble (from Dreamfall Chapters) are anything other than coincidental--or even that the two looks are that similar--but this is what I first thought about when it first showed up.  And honestly, I’m elated. I love love love this look, so seeing a costume evoke it--accidentally or even better if it’s intentional--was one of my favorite small things about “Immortal Kombat”

Lena put that there. The smile, not the suit. Well, the suit too, but...Kara is so happy that she's coming through for her.

[i-am-robie]

For me, one of the most inexplicable things in s5 was Lena working with Lex—the rest of it I could mostly swallow because here is a woman scorned, a woman hurt, who can’t see past her own anger. Here’s as close as I could get.

[INTRO PICKING UP MOMENTS AFTER THE END OF 5.19 Kara and Lena are alone in the lab while the rest of the team tries to figure out their next move (I don’t really care how this happens, it just does for my purposes okay? I’m not a fucking script writer.)]

“I wanted him back.” Lena’s voice feels like a gunshot even to her in the silence of the lab. Kara is sitting across from her, tinkering with a table, but she looks at Lena as if Lena has shoved her.

“What?” 

“My…” Lena swallows, “my brother. I wanted him back.”

Kara stares at her. This is the closest they’ve gotten to talking about before since Kara made it clear to her that she didn’t want to have that discussion. And maybe that was only hours ago, but that was before she shook Lena’s hand, before she said she was ready to hear Lena’s apology, before she asked if Lena was ready to work with her again, and the only thing Lena wants in the world, maybe even more than for this never to have happened, is for Kara to understand why she did it. 

“He saved me, you know? I shot him, for…” Lena stumbles (you goes unsaid), “I killed him, and when the anti-monitor brought him back, Lex made a deal that I would—” she thinks about how to describe it. “Survive is the wrong word I think—but that I would be as I had been when you saved the world.”

Kara is quiet, her face stuck somewhere between wariness and pain, like she’s not sure where Lena is going with this but knows, instinctively, that it will hurt. Still, she doesn’t try to stop her and that’s all the invitation that Lena needs to continue. She needs to get this out so that at least—if Kara doesn’t really forgive her, if Kara never lets her back in (lets her back in the way she’d let Lena in before Lena understood what that meant)—at least Kara will know the Gordian knot that Lena tied herself into. And, maybe, she’ll see why it took Lena so long to cut through it, why it took Lena so long to see the truth, even if that truth is, in the end, so very simple. 

Lena clears her throat and steels herself to continue. “It was catastrophically naive, I know. I mean, I killed Lex to stop him. Why would I ever walk willingly back to him?” She swallows, but her mouth is dry and her throat feels like sandpaper. She fixes her gaze on the table in front of her. “But you have to understand: when I shot him, I wasn’t killing my brother. I was killing what he had become—who he had become,” she corrects herself, because Lex turned himself into a monster, but Lena knows enough to understand that monsters are men, too. “That’s how I could do it. How I did it.”

Kara remains silent when Lena looks up at her, it doesn’t feel like an invitation to continue, per se, but it isn’t a request for her to stop.

“And then I woke up in a world where he was a hero, where he said he had changed, where he was on your side. And I thought, I thought what if Non Nocere could save not just me or the world, what if it could save Lex?” There’s a pressure to her speech now, although Kara’s quiet, Lena is aware that at any moment Kara will cut her off. “Because sure, the world was fundamentally changed, history as we knew it had never happened, but that potential...it’s like physics.” Lena looks down at her hands, remembers the energy thrumming through them when it had occurred to her. “The potential energy of his rage, of his monomaniacism, his megalomania: it was all still there waiting to be expressed, like water behind a dam,” she lets out a bitter laugh and looks away again. “I never stopped believing that he was capable of horrible, terrible things. I just hoped that maybe if I worked well enough, if I solved it quickly enough, that I wouldn’t have to lose him twice. And maybe no one else would suffer.”

She feels unmoored. It’s a familiar feeling, really, the only constant since her world came apart. This feeling is what Hope had been about: creating something to keep her head above water, to keep her from drowning until she could learn to breathe underwater. Lena casts around the lab for something to anchor herself.

There’s nothing but Kara. 

“I didn’t lose him again, in the end.” She lets out a sigh, shakes her head. “I’d never gotten him back in the first place. It was an illusion. But...but I did lose someone.”

Kara brings her eyebrows together at that, a tiny crinkle forming to match the small frown on her face.

“You,” Lena breathes the word out. “I lost you, Kara...The first time was when I didn’t believe that you could love me and lie to me about Supergirl. Except that I could have gotten you back then, if I’d been willing to see you, to listen to you, to let go of the worst parts of myself. Because it was those parts of me that convinced me you were gone. And you weren’t. Not yet.”

“We—“ Lena takes a breath, twists her fingers together, the pressure just to the point of pain to ground her. “Our relationship would have been salvageable, maybe, if I hadn’t decided that a world that didn’t need Supergirl was the way to fix my hurt. And it wasn’t the right way, it never could have been; the stated goal of Non Nocere might have been about making it so that no one could hurt anyone else, but really it was about making it so you couldn’t hurt me again. You’re not the first person to hurt me.” She lets out a self-deprecating laugh because that feels like an understatement so enormous it really is almost comical. “Sometimes it feels like my heart has been broken by everyone I’ve ever loved—I don’t know why...”

Lena trails off because part of her does know why Kara is different, and she’s not ready to say it aloud (she’ll probably never say it aloud) but she can’t commit to the untruth. “I needed something that would protect me from you because I knew eventually I’d let you back in, and I didn’t trust you not to hurt me again.”

Kara opens her mouth, but Lena holds up a hand to stop her. “So I made horrible, selfish choices because at that point it didn’t matter what you thought of me. I imprisoned Eve and I stole Myriad and I used kryptonite on you,” her sins are pouring out, it’s nothing Kara doesn’t know, and Lena isn’t in search of absolution, but she wants Kara to see that she knows what she did, that she’s not trying to bury it or deny it or gloss over it, “and when Lex brought me in, I worked with him. And that led to the second time that I lost you because it caused you to give up on me. I rationalized, of course, that it didn’t matter if you thought I was just another Luthor, or if you thought me capable of the same atrocities that Lex was—is—because what I was working on would make it so that no one would be capable of that. Not me, not him...not you.”

“Lena, I—” Kara starts, but they’re interrupted as Nia and Alex clatter back into the lab.

“We’ve got to get to the fortress.”
