Mon-El shows up late and seems to be keen to speak with Kara (perhaps about what secret Imra has been keeping), but karaoke is interrupted by a news cast confirming that the Toyman aka Winn’s dad was found dead in his prison cell.
Not long after Winn and his friends join him at his father’s funeral. If that isn’t bad enough, Winn’s estranged mother, Mary, shows up right before an explosion goes off in the Toyman’s coffin. They bring her back to the DEO and confirm that she’s fine and that the Toyman is really dead. Mon-El finally gets time to finally have his talk with Kara. He tells her that Imra has lied to him about something and that he wants to fill her in. They part awkwardly.
Mary tries to reconnect with Winn after two decades of being absent. She explained that apparently the Toyman threatened to kill his son if Mary came back into his life. Winn doesn’t believe her. However, mere moments later there is a message written by literal mechanical flying monkeys in the air that say “Surrender Mary.” Yeah her story is sounding more believable. That’s not the worse thing. The flying monkeys attack them. Supergirl gets an assist from guardian to take out the monkeys along with the other agents. Even Mary stops one of the monkeys from attacking Winn.
Despite her actions, Winn still believes that Mary should’ve tried harder. Mary, however, is still desperate to reconnect and is encouraged by Supergirl to keep trying.
Meanwhile, Hank, Alex and M’yrnn prepare for a housewarming dinner. Alex decided to leave out the details of the attack. Although they are having a good time, M’yrrn seems to keep having slip ups with his memory. Alex notices immediately but Hank is too merry to see it. Alex confronts him about it who knows that he has a form of dementia but M’yrnn makes her leave when she tells him she should let Hank know. That escalated rather quickly.
Mary tries to assist Winn when working on what makes the monkeys tick. He continues to push her away but listens when she tells him how she tried to leave his father but he ran them off the road and threatened to kill Winn. Mary gets overprotective and finds something that leads her to a suspect at the Wiggins Game Company who she goes to confront by herself. The woman creepily working on a toy is prepared, as evil genius’ are, and captures her.
Apparently the crazy chick, Jacqueline, works at the penitentiary and promised to carry out the Toyman’s lasts wishes. The team get the Wiggins Game Company and has to fight off various crazy dangerous weapons such as flying bombs, giant dinosaurs and literal Hot Wheels. Points for creativity, I’ll give her that. Winn outsmarts her and along with his mother knocks her out.
Winn and his mother seems to be on better terms enough so that she’s invited to karaoke night with his friends. Mon-El finally gets to talk to Kara about what Imra has hid from them; Brainy and Imra meant to land there so they could stop the third worldkiller who evolves into Blight in 1,000 years.
Throughout the episode, James keeps reaching out to Lena who has been ignoring his calls. Usually this is a big sign that he is being ghosted, but in this case Lena had discovered something crazy was going on with Samantha so she’s just MIA.
Lena is no doubt going to be doing everything she can to help Samantha but keeping this quiet is going to endanger her. It feels like she isn't thinking this one out so much.
M’yrnn finally comes clean to Hank about his illness after trying to protect him from it. After they finally got somewhat settled into their new life, of course something has to happen. Hank never gets a break.
Now with almost everything out about Imra and Mon-El, they have more of a chance of stopping the worldkillers from fully forming and destroying the world in 1,000 years. Here’s hoping they don’t fail.
