Trivia
William paraphrases something Cat Grant said in How Does She Do It? (2015). In response to Kara asking, "So you can have it all?" Cat said "Of course. Just not all at once and not right away."

Goofs
Lena says that Nyxly can't recreate the Allstone without access to the Courage and Humanity Totems. But the Allsone can't be reassembled without all seven Totems, and Supergirl destroyed the Hope Totem so Nxyly couldn't reassemble the Allstone.

Quotes

Very Disappointed

For a show toting itself to be about female empowerment, it sure does the complete opposite.

First, let me start by saying that having yet another filler episode with only 4 remaining episodes for the whole series is certainly a choice.

Secondly, once again shoehorning William in all the plots. Kara, the Pulitzer prize winning journalist doesn't know how to interview? No worries we got William to mansplain to her. Supergirl and superfriends don't know how to defeat an enemy? Don't worry William is here to mansplain to them how to do their job. Kara is depressed and stressed? Don't worry she won't go to her closest friends and family because William is right there. You see the pattern? It's frankly pretty ridiculous. You're alienating your dwindling audience by giving him undue relevance. Nobody likes him.

Certainly, this episode has made me doubt if I'm going to tune in for the remaining ones. It's honestly quite insulting to the characters, the story, the cast and us the fans.

I'm only giving this much of stars because Nia had a good development but bringing back her transphobic sister was kinda yikes.
