Quotes 

• Supergirl : We're sorry if we startled you, Ms. Arias. This is J'onn J'onzz from the FBI.

  J'onn J'onzz : We have reason to believe that Reign is on her way here.

  Supergirl : Which means this house isn't safe. We need to get you out of it.

  Patricia Arias : She's her, isn't she? My Sam is Reign.

  Supergirl : How do you know?

  Patricia Arias : [leading them into Sam's bedroom]  I, uh... I never told her where she was from. I... I just wanted her to be normal, and then when she was ten, she started doodling all over her books. It was like something inside her just needed to get out, and I punished her for it. I grounded her, and I tore up the pages.

  [she pulls a section of wallpaper from the wall, revealing a drawing of Reign's sigil] 

  Patricia Arias : So she drew it on the wall to spite me. When I saw the same mark all over the news, I knew.

• Patricia Arias : All I ever wanted to do was to protect her. That's all I ever wanted. When we bury things... and I should've known this, but... when we bury things, they come at you even harder.

  Supergirl : What Sam's become has nothing to do with the way she was raised.

  Patricia Arias : I was an awful mother. I kicked her out. I've never even met my granddaughter.

  J'onn J'onzz : Uh... we need to... get you out of here before she comes.

  Patricia Arias : No, if she's coming here, I wanna be here when she does. I kicked her out when I should've helped her. I am not gonna turn away from her now.

• Supergirl : Why would Reign go after Lena?

  Winn Schott : Well, Lena, did imprison Reign and then, you know, experimented on her for a little bit.

  Alex Danvers : But revenge isn't Reign's M.O.

  J'onn J'onzz : I agree.

  Lena Luthor : You're right. Reign wasn't looking for me. She was looking for Ruby.

  Alex Danvers : Is she...

  Lena Luthor : Reign won't find her. Ruby's safe, I promise.

  Supergirl : And are you okay?

  Lena Luthor : Fine.

• J'onn J'onzz : So, Reign is after Ruby and she started with Lena.

  Alex Danvers : Where else might she look?

  Lena Luthor : Sam's mother, Patricia, she's got a farm outside the city.

  J'onn J'onzz : Supergirl and I will go get Patricia to safety and then wait for Reign to attack. Anything you've discovered while studying Reign that you think we should add to our arsenal?

  Lena Luthor : Electricity. It was how I was able to wake Reign up and force her back down.

  Winn Schott : Ooh, I can retrofit something.

• Supergirl : Patricia Arias, we need to talk to you.

  J'onn J'onzz : Let's go.

  [entering the house] 

  J'onn J'onzz : Mrs. Arias?

  Patricia Arias : [in another room]  Francis Pierce, I told you that the next time I caught you in my house looking for pills, I was gonna put a hole through your thieving hand.

  [she pumps a shotgun as she enters; seeing who it is, she lowers the weapon, surprised] 

  Patricia Arias : Supergirl.

• J'onn J'onzz : Everything is set.

  Supergirl : Patricia's in the safe room. She said we can grab anything out of the fridge if we want. She said there's pudding.

  J'onn J'onzz : No thanks.

• Supergirl : Mon-El and everyone missed you this morning.

  J'onn J'onzz : Uh, yeah, I'm sorry about that. I was, um, dealing with my father. Since the incident at the DEO, he has become increasingly... depressed. Irritable, if I push him.

  Supergirl : Can Alex prescribe something?

  J'onn J'onzz : I'm giving him Martian medicine, which helps. But the reality is, with the psychic dampener on, there isn't really much he can do. Yeah, I know I needed to protect him, protect all of us, but... I still wish there was some way I coud make him feel... useful. There are moments when he doesn't seem to remember who I am. Thinks I'm someone from his past.

  Supergirl : I'm sorry, J'onn.

  J'onn J'onzz : It's funny how his past memories are so clear to him, yet his present thoughts are so... chaotic.

  Supergirl : [giving him a comforting pat on the shoulder]  Hey.

  [seeing him notice something, she turns around and sees a group of plants wither and die] 

  J'onn J'onzz : Pestilence.

  Supergirl : How?

• Supergirl : [over Patricia's body]  She's dying.

  J'onn J'onzz : Reign has all the Worldkillers' powers. Let's get her out of here.

• Supergirl : You should be resting.

  J'onn J'onzz : I need to be on my feet. Lying down is just so boring.

• Supergirl : I told Patricia I'd give a message to Sam, but... I don't know if I'm ever gonna see Sam again. Even with everything I've learned from Mon-El, Reign has me outmatched on every level. J'onn, how am I gonna fight her?

  J'onn J'onzz : Usually, your secret weapon is your heart, Supergirl. But I didn't see even a glimpse of humanity left in Reign that you could reason with.

  Supergirl : White Martians are as soulless as Reign. When you battled them, were you ever able to get through to them?

  J'onn J'onzz : Besides M'gann, no. I just used my skills as a warrior, like you. But there was one amongst us who thought they could reason with them. And he did. He got them to spare his life.

• M'yrnn J'onzz : Ursula, you should not have come. When I told Kemler I didn't agree with his position on the Eradicator project, I wasn't looking to be persuaded.

  J'onn J'onzz : Father, this is not Ursula. This is Kara, my friend.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Of course you are.

• J'onn J'onzz : We came because we could use your help.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : I'm of no help to any being. Please leave me be.

  J'onn J'onzz : Father, I just need to...

  M'yrnn J'onzz : [firmly]  I said no, J'onn!

  J'onn J'onzz : Dad, look, I-I know you cannot journey through your mind like you once did. I-I know that. But your memories are still intact. None of it has been lost since you've been doing the Ta'ar Ka'riq. You just need help to access it.

• Supergirl : J'onn told me that when the Greens chose to fight the Whites, you pleaded with those in charge to have open talks, is that right?

  [M'yrnn gives a small nod] 

  Supergirl : Everyone else just saw their aggression, but you saw... you saw something you could reason with. What was it?

  M'yrnn J'onzz : I don't remember.

  J'onn J'onzz : [shapeshifting into a White Martian]  Father.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Do not play tricks on me.

  J'onn J'onzz : Just look at me in this form, Father. Like you did when you saw Ursula. You remembered exactly your past conversation. Now look at me, and tell me why you think you can get through to me.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Get through to you?

  [sardonic laugh] 

  M'yrnn J'onzz : You are as stubborn and righteous as Phobos. I can't persuade you of anything you don't already believe in.

• Supergirl : Whites kept you alive, why?

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Because I knew that the sacred scrolls were important to them. And inside my mind, I held all the knowledge and secrets of those scrolls.

  Supergirl : And if they killed you, that knowledge would be lost to them forever.

  J'onn J'onzz : You abandoned your own beliefs and appealed to theirs. To their code.

  Supergirl : And Reign has been pretty clear about her code of justice.

  J'onn J'onzz : Father, you might just have saved us today.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : I have?

• Winn Schott : It's Reign. She's at Lex's mansion.

  J'onn J'onzz : Which means she knows Ruby's there.

  Supergirl : With Alex. You can't go. You're still injured.

  J'onn J'onzz : But I can use Lena's kryptonite. There's no one else.

  Mon-El : Actually, there is.

  Supergirl : [surprised]  Mon-El.

  J'onn J'onzz : The future...

  Mon-El : The future's fine. Brainy and Imra are still on the way.

  Supergirl : Then w-why did you...

  Mon-El : To help you with your fight against Reign.

• M'yrnn J'onzz : I discovered the most incredible thing today. Did you know if you grind the coffee beans with the cocoa beans, you get the most delectable mixture? It makes the flavor sensors of my mouth smile.

  J'onn J'onzz : It's called a mocha, Father.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : [pronouncing it phonetically]  Mow-ka. Hmm. I would've thought "choco-coffee."

  J'onn J'onzz : Choco-coffee. You know, that does kind of have a ring to it. It's so good to see you up and around, Father. You should know that we were able to catch Reign, thanks to your advice about the White Martians.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : I have no recollection of what you're talking about.

  J'onn J'onzz : Well, all you need to know is that you helped.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : J'onn. Did you know if you grind the coffee beans with the coca beans, you get the most delectable mixture?

  J'onn J'onzz : [realizing it's one of M'yrnn's mental lapses]  I did not know that, no. I'd like to try it.
