Quotes 

• J'onn J'onzz : [playing Charades]  That doesn't count.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Why?

  J'onn J'onzz : Because you're shape-shifting, dad.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : [dressed like an astronaut]  Oh.

  [he shape-shifts back to normal] 

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Human games have so many rules.

  Kara Danvers : He didn't break any of the rules.

  Alex Danvers : It's... you know what? It's fine. Just let him have it. We're slaughtering 'em, anyway.

  Winn Schott : [he laughs]  Hey, the Martian Man-Father strikes again.

  Kara Danvers : Martian Man-Father?

  Winn Schott : Fine. The Martian Dad Hunter.

• M'yrnn J'onzz : "The Cook, the Thief, His Wife & Her Lover."

  Alex Danvers : What?

  J'onn J'onzz : Cheating again. Come on, dad, no mind reading.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : You keep accusing me of not following the rules. You are one to talk.

  [J'onn is confused] 

  M'yrnn J'onzz : My son used to wait for me to leave, and the moment I had gone, he would switch around the pieces on the Ok-Rock-Tock board. When I caught him, he blamed his imaginary friend... what was his name?

  James Olsen : Wait, wait, wait. I'm sorry. You had an imaginary friend?

  J'onn J'onzz : No, I...

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Oh, yes, he did. You said he was a fifth-dimensiona imp who came just to move the pieces. What was his name?

  J'onn J'onzz : [giving in]  Zook.

  M'yrnn J'onzz : Zook!

  Alex Danvers , James Olsen , Winn Schott , Kara Danvers : [amused]  Zook!

  M'yrnn J'onzz : "Zook! Zook did it! It was Zook!" That was you.

• Alex Danvers : There's a big disturbance downtown.

  Kara Danvers : Well, time to get back to the salt mine.

  [seeing everyone look at her as she calmy unbuttons her shirt] 

  Kara Danvers : What? I like this shirt.

• Supergirl : [after the psychic anomaly]  It's like what I saw the Kalanorian do in the bar.

  Alex Danvers : I told you she needed more observation.

  Supergirl : Well, it's still visiting hours.

  Alex Danvers : Let's go see her.

  J'onn J'onzz : In the meantime, Agent Schott, round up the inhibitors we used against Psi. Recalibrate them. Make sure there's enough to go around. I didn't take enough precautions last time, I will now.

• Supergirl : J'onn, you knew?

  J'onn J'onzz : I didn't wanna believe it was getting worse. My father has been using a Martian practice called Ta'ar Ka'riq to move his memories and emotions from the decaying parts of his mind to the healthy parts. But it takes tremendous amounts of energy. Sometimes psychic bleeds can happen. And the more powerful the Martian, the more powerful the bleed. Other psychic species, like Kalanorians, would be the first to feel the effects. When an attack intensifies, it can affect anyone in close proximity, and not just other psychics. I brought M'yrnn to the DEO because I... felt I could put a shield over this place and keep you all safe, but... my father's angry about what's happening to his mind. And his aggression was being funneled into all of you.

  Alex Danvers : Can't you help him with the dampening technology?

  J'onn J'onzz : He has relied on his mind his entire life. First as a theologian, then as a prisoner. It's what kept him alive for 300 years. The White Martians may have had him locked in a cage, but he was still free. This technology would make him reliant on me. It would strip him of the one thing the White Martians never could. His independence, his, um... his dignity.

  Alex Danvers : I remember sitting in, uh... in my kitchen when my mom got the call that my grandmother drove through a traffic light. By the grace of God, nobody was hurt. That was one of the hardest things my mom had to do, taking away her keys. She told my mom off, and she cried. Suddenly she's in this position she's never been in before. She's an adult being treated like a child. And it was ugly, and painful. But it's what had to be done. For her protection. For everyone's protection.

  J'onn J'onzz : I can face down the toughest adversaries without fear, but talking to my father about this... I don't wanna take away more from him than he's already lost. I just got him back. The practice of Ta'ar Ka'riq keeps him as close to the man I've always known, and I... I don't wanna give that up.

  Supergirl : My uncle Jor-El used to say "The son becomes the father, and the father the son."

• Supergirl : You're right. We have been through a lot together. Like that time when you promised you wouldn't leave the DEO, and instead you ran off, you got wasted. You were reckless, selfish, you lied, and you didn't apologize.

  Mon-El : Kara, I...

  Supergirl : And then there was the time I got you a job at CatCo. I vouched for you at my place of employment. And then you had Eve do all of your work for you, and then you screwed her in the closet. You didn't apologize for that. And, shocker, I apologized to you for trying to make you into a better person.

  Mon-El : I hear you. I get it.

  Supergirl : No, I don't think you do get it. I don't think you get that I gave my heart to a lying jackass, who was unaware of his behavior towards me, who disrespected me at every turn, and now is this reformed person who, what, he wants to reminisce about the good times?

  Alex Danvers : [entering, with one of Winn's psychic inhibitors]  Kara, put this on.

• M'yrnn J'onzz : I am sorry for the pain I caused. I hurt you, all of you. I was so fearful of losing control of what's left of my life, I refused to accept what was happening. And it nearly cost me everything I hold dear.

  J'onn J'onzz : I hoped I would've been able to protect you all better.

  Alex Danvers : You protect us all the time, J'onn.

  Supergirl : Tonight was our turn.

• Alex Danvers : Well, she's a Kalanorian. No criminal record.

  Kara Danvers : Then why'd she go all "Road House" on me? Demos says she wasn't provoked.

  J'onn J'onzz : Kalanorians are psychics. Empaths.

  Alex Danvers : Well, maybe she got her signals crossed with another psychic?

  J'onn J'onzz : [his eyes turn red as he scans her]  I'm not seeing any psionic anomalies.

  Alex Danvers : Well, she tore that bar up.

  J'onn J'onzz : Her species are prone to outbursts during astronomical events.

  Alex Danvers : Such as?

  J'onn J'onzz : Mercury's in retrograde.

  Alex Danvers : Wait, what?

  Kara Danvers : Like astrology?

  J'onn J'onzz : More like complex luminal and gravatic shifts that detrmine Kalanorian brain function, but sure, astrology. Put her containment. We have these Worldkillers to focus on.

• Demos : Really, coward? Have you ever even held a gun before?

  Winn Schott : [pulling back the slide to chamber a round]  I'm holding one now.

  [Demos disarms him, and Alex enters to break up the fight] 

  Alex Danvers : Hey! Hey! Knock it off! Knock it off!

  [she fights off Demos] 

  Alex Danvers : [to Winn]  I am always cleaning up your messes.

  Winn Schott : Get out of my face!

  Supergirl : [entering to pull Alex off Winn]  Hey! Hey, break it up! Come on! Get off of him.

  Alex Danvers : [everything suddenly returns to normal]  What the hell just happened?

  J'onn J'onzz : It was a psychic anomaly. I put a barrier up to protect you all.

  Alex Danvers : Oh, god. Winn, I'm sorry. Are you okay?

  Winn Schott : I'm kind of... I feel like I'm gonna bleed.

• Alex Danvers : I've never felt anything like that. It's like something was inside of my brain. I couldn't control it. Are you okay?

  Supergirl : I felt it, too.

  Alex Danvers : Wait a minute, you were affected?

  Supergirl : I hit Mon-El. Hard. We... we were training, and I was frustrated 'cause I wasn't getting it, and-and then he brought up our past, when I used to train him, and that's when the rage set in.

• Alex Danvers : Are you sure you were affected?

  Supergirl : What do you mean? Of course I was.

  Alex Danvers : It seems like you two still have some unresolved issues. Maybe it's not a good idea you train with him.

  Supergirl : That's ridiculous. No, whatever issues I had with Mon-El before, those are behind me. Our relationship is strictly professional. This is just about getting Reign.

• Supergirl : [finding the Kalanorian having a seizure in her cell]  What's she saying?

  Alex Danvers : I don't know, but it's definitely Martian.
