Quotes 

• Supergirl : You're all clear, kid. Now let's blow this thing and go home.

  Brainiac-5 : I assume that's some sort of film reference.

  Supergirl : We never showed you "Star Wars"? Not a single Star War?

• Winn Schott : Supergirl, the-the-the waterfront.

  Supergirl : We're on our way.

  [the Legion cruiser appears behind her and Alura] 

  Winn Schott : Okay, looks like we have some help.

  Imra Ardeen : You didn't think I'd miss out on the fun.

• James Olsen : What happened?

  Winn Schott : J'onn's ship just sent out a distress signal.

  Supergirl : A distress call? Why would Selena do that?

  Winn Schott : A trap? I-I'm just guessing.

  J'onn J'onzz : Regardless, I've been able to access the ship's sensor. My craft is sitting near a great power source. I believe it might be the site of the terraforming.

  Supergirl : But Sam is still unconscious. We need her around if we're to stand a chance against Reign.

• Alex Danvers : Supergirl, did Sam get there?

  Supergirl : She did, but I screwed up. I need you to find me a disruption.

  Alex Danvers : A disruption?

  Supergirl : I need to go back in time, like the Legion.

  Winn Schott : You can't breathe in space.

  Supergirl : I'm wearing Mon-El's ring. I can breathe with it on. If I can turn back time, I could use the electricity in the Harun-El to take us to the Fountain of Lillith.

  Winn Schott : Okay, but it disrupts... the-the pressure alone is gonna crush you.

  Supergirl : Just find me a disruption, now!

• Mon-El : Well, you did it. Just like a Greek myth, you went down to the underworld, and slayed the three-headed monster and saved Persephone.

  Supergirl : Uh, I think in the myth, Persephone eats pomegranate seeds, and is confined to the realm of Hades forever.

  Mon-El : Yeah, well, that just strengthens my point, because the Greek gods have nothing on you.

  Supergirl : I couldn't have done it without you.

  Mon-El : No, that's not true. This, uh... this victory was yours. It was flawless.

• Mon-El : What's on your mind?

  Supergirl : Before we went to Argo, I... I just had this thought that I could be Kara Zor-El, ordinary citizen. That I would feel like I was home. But when we were fighting Reign and the witches, I had this moment, this realization that Argo City's not my home anymore. National City is. Earth is. And my mission is to protect it. I mean, my whole life is here.

  Mon-El : Yeah.

  Supergirl : Messy, complex. Balancing Kara and being a hero, that's... that's who I am.

• Mon-El : I have loved fighting by your side. Being there through all of it, the ups, the downs, the particularly tough days. You know, for a moment there, I thought that... that maybe this was my... my place. My time. But I learned some troubling things today, uh, about the future. I need to go back. I can't abandon the Legion. Or the world that I swore to protect, right when they need me most.

  Supergirl : I know you can't. You wouldn't be the man you are if you did. The man I admire so much.

  Mon-El : Well, I guess we've both got some saving to do.

  [he turns to leave, then stops] 

  Mon-El : And hey.

  [tossing her his Legion ring] 

  Mon-El : It's about time you had one of your own.

• Supergirl : [Winn is leaving to join the Legion]  He's a hero.

  Alura Zor-El : So are you, Kara Zor-El. I am so proud of you. You stuck to your ideals, and found a way when there was none. I will miss you, my daughter.

  Supergirl : [hugging her]  I love you, mom.

  Alura Zor-El : I love you. And I will bring Selena and the witches back with me. They will stand a just trial, I promise you.

• Supergirl : [saying goodbye to Winn]  You were the first person I told I was Supergirl. You made my suit, kept it safe. You've been a true friend. I'm really gonna miss you.

• Kara Danvers : [seeing a news report about James' revelation as the Guardian]  He did it.

  Alex Danvers : How about Winn joining the Legion?

  Kara Danvers : Do you think he'll make them new outfits?

  Alex Danvers : Oh, absolutely.

• Kara Danvers : I still can't get over J'onn. Following in his father's footsteps. Leaving the DEO. I did not see that coming.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah.

  Kara Danvers : What about you, Director Danvers? You're just so brave.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, look at you. Okay? I mean, leaving your mom after you just found her, coming back to Earth. I mean, that takes courage.

  Kara Danvers : Mm. I just realized that everything that makes me me is here. This is my home. With you. On this couch, with this insanely huge pizza that we just downed.

  Alex Danvers : There's no pizza on Argo, huh?

  Kara Danvers : Nope.

  Alex Danvers : That's a shame.

• Alex Danvers : You have no idea how happy I am that you came back. Are we gonna be okay?

  Kara Danvers : We're gonna be okay.

• Supergirl : [the terraforming quakes abruptly end]  M'yrnn stopped it.

• Alex Danvers : Winn, did you track down the source of the terraforming? Or... or-or Reign's location?

  Winn Schott : Still working on it.

  Supergirl : What about Sam? Has she woken up?

• James Olsen : Before you came back from Argo, Lena figured out that she could end Reign, with a lethal dose of Kryptonite. Now, she wouldn't do that when Sam and Reign were connected. But now...

  Supergirl : No. I don't kill. Not even her. There's gotta be another way.

  Alura Zor-El : What way? You can't contain her. You said she's grown invincible to everything that would normally hurt a Kryptonian. Look, sometimes, the thing we thought we'd never do, the thing that goes against our very core, is the one thing that we must do.

  J'onn J'onzz : If all else fails, and we have no other recourse, I agree. We do what we must.

  Supergirl : [reluctantly]  Okay. Whatever it takes.

  J'onn J'onzz : Send Mon-El and the Legion the coordinates to my ship. We'll meet them there.

• Supergirl : [killing Reign has inadvertently killed everyone else]  J'onn.

  J'onn J'onzz : Supergirl. Mon-El gave his life to save me. All that time I spent with my father, I'd learned nothing. I still came in fighting like a Manhunter.

  Supergirl : No, this is my fault. I came in here ready to kill her. I knew I should have found another way. I knew it. I... I've lost track of what I stand for. What have I done?

  [as she spots the Harun-El nearby, she gets an idea and takes Mon-El's Legion ring] 

  Supergirl : The Rock split them apart. It could put them together. There was a prison strong enough to contain her.

• Reign : You cannot win. There is no prison you can build that can contain me. There is no one on this planet of equal power that can kill me.

  Samantha Arias : That's what you think.

  Supergirl : No!

  [she takes down Reign and holds her at bay] 

  Supergirl : Throw me the Harun-El.

  [Mon-El does so] 

  Supergirl : Shock us again in five minutes.

• Lena Luthor : This is the Harun-El your daughter asked me to make. And the recipe to make more.

  Supergirl : Thank you.

  Alura Zor-El : With this Harun-El, Argo will survive. Though I hate to depend on it. There's so many things that we don't know about it. Its uses, its powers, its dangers. I'm so glad that none of it will be left on Earth.

• J'onn J'onzz : Saturn Girl. Thank you for coming back when you did. The city would've been lost without you.

  Supergirl : How did you know to come back?

  Imra Ardeen : We got Mon-El's signal. The message from the, uh... the time beacon.

  Alura Zor-El : Mon-El said it broke on Argo.

  Mon-El : It did. Uh, the... the beacon must've had a... a fail-safe, to send a message even if it powered down.
