The finale dealt with all of this head on, as Lex Luthor returned to the fray, administering propaganda to portray himself as the hero while claiming that Supergirl was a supposed alien terrorist. Naturally, Kara Zor-El of Krypton wasn't about to let her cousin's archenemy spout this fake news as she sought to bring an end to his political mind games once and for all.
