WARNING: Spoilers for tonight’s episode of Supergirl, “Crossfire,” are discussed within.
For a good portion of Supergirl’s first season, Alex Danvers has been the rock for her younger sister Kara to rely on. Now that Alex is learning new things about herself, Melissa Benoist told us last week at the show’s Vancouver set that Kara will be there for her big sister.
“Really, Season 1 served the purpose that gets Kara on solid ground with Alex. So now that Alex is going off on her own path and learning something about herself, I think Kara will be there with an open mind and an open heart. Those two are inseparable, and their bond is unbreakable, so whatever happens, Kara’s gonna be there, no matter what,” Melissa assured.
Another relationship that may be tested in a way that is not as positive as that sisterly bond is that between Kara and Lena Luthor — especially if Kara learns some things that were revealed at the end of tonight’s episode. Should Kara worry?
“I mean, should anyone ever trust a Luthor?” Melissa questioned. “I think that’s just going to be the looming question overall. Lena and Kara have such an awesome relationship. I love the scenes with Katie McGrath. Katie McGrath is awesome and perfect in that part. But there’s just going to be… it’s inevitable. I don’t think Kara is ever going to be able to truly know if she’s being honest, of if it’s something she shouldn’t be suspicious of. But there is a true friendship there, and a mutual respect,” he said.
