Quotes 

• Kara Danvers : William Dey is going to be embedded at the Tower, covering all of us for CatCo.

  Lena Luthor : A reporter? At the Tower? Are you sure that's such a good idea?

  Alex Danvers : We think that it would be good for the mission. We need the public support. Especially if things continue to spiral with Nxyly.

  J'onn J'onnz : But still, he'll have to work within our parameters. Which means keeping your identity and your connection to us off the record.

  Kelly Olsen : Well... good luck tomorrow.

  Nia Nal : You won't be at the Tower?

  Kelly Olsen : I have a home check with an alien orphan named Esme. I met her at Joey's group home. And she was placed with a foster family last week. Hopefully, she ends up with a family where she can really blossom.

  Alex Danvers : [Kara inexplicably starts laughing]  Why are you laughing?

  [she starts laughing more hysterically] 

  Alex Danvers : Like that?

  Kara Danvers : It's Nxyly. I can sense her and she's... she's really happy.

• Kara Danvers : [surprised to see Alex and their friends in her loft]  What are you guys doing here?

  Alex Danvers : It's game night, remember? We thought that it would cheer you up.

  Kara Danvers : Oh, that's... guys, that's really sweet. I-I... I just figured with Nxyly still out there, we would cancel our plans.

  Kelly Olsen : We all need to relax and decompress. You most of all, Kara.

  Kara Danvers : Yeah, but there's still no sign of Nxyly and she already has one totem.

  Alex Danvers : Brainy is on the Legion ship and he's scanning for Nxyly's ship. So if she or Mitch pop up anywhere, we'll know.

  J'onn J'onnz : Besides, the mental tether you share with Nxyly could be a benefit to us.

  Kara Danvers : Yeah, but I... I can't read her mind. I-I can only sense her extreme emotions. And it's not like a light switch I can just turn on and off. I feel like I'm constantly just waiting for it to happen. I can't think of anything else. We have to find her.

  Lena Luthor : Well, I might have something that can help. My mother's book of spells.

  Kelly Olsen : Have you found anything useful?

  Lena Luthor : Not yet. I'm trying to figure out the underlying scientific logic, but I'm beginning to think magic is mainly just instinct and intuition.

  Nia Nal : Honestly, that sounds a lot like dream interpretation. Maybe I could help you try to sort some of that out?

  Lena Luthor : I'd really like that. Maybe we could start tomorrow.

• Kelly Olsen : [playing Jenga, Alex successfully pulls a piece out]  No, not again! Well, you are a ringer.

  Alex Danvers : Well, it's called hand/eye coordination. I don't know what else to tell you, babe.

• Sentinel : [in the middle of a battle]  How did that home check go with that little girl... is... Es...

  Guardian : Esme? It was great.

  Sentinel : Oh, I'm so glad. I know you were worried about her.

  Guardian : Looks like she's gonna get her happy ending.

  [showing Alex the friendship bracelet Esme made] 

  Guardian : And she made me this as a thank-you.

  Sentinel : [adorably]  Aw!

• Kelly Olsen : We are waiting for the van from Social Services. The Fords changed their mind. They requested another placement for Esme.

  Alex Danvers : They're giving her back?

  Kelly Olsen : Mm-hmm. They said she's not a right fit for their family.

  Alex Danvers : Oh, but she *was* a right fit when they forced her to confront armed attackers?

  Kelly Olsen : I told them even though she's an alien with powers, it was their job to protect her. Not the other way around.

  Alex Danvers : Good for you, babe. 'Cause I would have punched their lights out.
