This week's episode of SUPERGIRL explored the idea of family: the family that you're born into and the family that you choose. With Kara trapped in a dream of life on Krypton, her best friends and sister race to find a way to free her. Everyone from Alex to Hank to Astra to SUPERGIRL herself has to face what family means to them in perhaps the most emotional episode yet.

In this week's episode of SUPERGIRL, Kara faces off against Maxwell Lord's Superclone, while she also tries to navigate how to be in a relationship and be Supergirl at the same time.

On this week's episode of SUPERGIRL, Kara helps Hank Henshaw (or J'onn J'onzz or the Martian Manhunter or whatever you want to call him) confront the White Martian and helps Cat Grant confront the son she gave away. The number of heartbreaking moments in this episode was impressive; SUPERGIRL is definitely becoming deeper with every episode.

On this week's episode of SUPERGIRL, Astra makes Kara question everything she thinks she knows about her aunt, CatCo faces an email hacking scandal, and Cat Grant finds out Kara's true identity. Mostly importantly, the amazing Laura Benanti finally got a lot of screen time!

On this week's episode of SUPERGIRL, Kara had to learn to be a hero without her superpowers, Alex finally got answers about what happened to her father, and Hank Henshaw's true identity was revealed. (And we learned that James Olsen has some very impressive arm muscles.)

On this week's episode of SUPERGIRL, Kara battles against a military android called Red Tornado and her own anger, Lucy Lane's father proves a threat to the DEO and her relationship with James, and Alex seeks out an unexpected ally to find out what happened to her father.

This week's Thanksgiving themed episode of SUPERGIRL introduced a shocking new villain named Livewire, played by Brit Morgan, and explored the complicated relationship between Kara, her sister Alex, and their mother Dr. Eliza Danvers, brilliantly played by Helen Slater.

In this week's episode of SUPERGIRL, Kara takes on a villain not even Superman could defeat: Reactron. But does she need the Man of Steel's help…or just to prove to everyone that she is worthy of the task?

In the second episode of the season, SUPERGIRL learns that her family's motto of 'Stronger Together' is true as she works with James Olsen, Winn Schott, and her sister Alex. She turns to smaller tasks in an effort to prove herself to the DEO and fix her bad reputation with the people of National City, but a bigger threat is lurking…in the form of her Aunt Astra.

Not just National City, but all of America has a new superhero: Supergirl. The pilot episode of SUPERGIRL was packed with action, plot twists, and impressive acting from the whole cast. SUPERGIRL seems likely to be one of the most popular shows of the season.

It's a bird, it's a plane, no…it's a girl. Supergirl, that is. There's a new hero coming to your living room Monday nights this fall. SUPERGIRL, the newest DC Comics show, premieres October 26 at 8:30/7:30 C on CBS.

Last night's episode of REIGN was certainly the most controversial one that's ever been aired. While the episode also held Conde and Claude's engagement, Greer's decision to convert to Protestantism, and Francis and Bash's triumph over Narcisse, much of the reaction to the episode has been centered around the attack on Mary by Protestant invaders.

While REIGN has been building up to a religious war for several episodes, in 'Terror of the Faithful' the Catholic-Protestant tension actually led to bloodshed. And based on the trailer for the next episode, there will only be more copious amounts of bloodshed to come. It's begun. France is a dangerous place for everyone, particularly a controversial king trying to appease two factions who are at each other's throats.

REIGN's seventh episode brought a new princess, a surprising shift of loyalty, an edict that threatens to claim countless lives, and the most difficult decision Francis has ever made. Francis's younger sister Claude (played by Rose Williams) has returned from abroad and few are happy to see her. But a drunken princess is frankly the least of their troubles.

This week's episode of REIGN was unlike anything we've ever seen before. Mary and Catherine working together, impostors of the royal couple, and Lola and Narcisse? REIGN never fails to excite, but this episode was even more crazy than usual.

REIGN took a welcome break from the shocking gore and martial discord of the past few episodes to give us something else: babies and sadness. I actually cried watching this episode; it definitely proved that we have a cast of very talented actors! Mary and Francis were, for once, blissfully at peace especially after the news that we've all been waiting for: an heir to the throne! But how quickly things went wrong…

REIGN's third episode might be called the Coronation, but it's Francis and Mary's problems with the nobles that were at the heart of it. The episode did end with the couple being crowned King and Queen of France, with indie music in the background as all proper main events on REIGN have. I'm not the only one who couldn't help but think of another blonde's coronation, right? #LetItGo

King Francis has returned to court and the nobles are restless. This episode of REIGN was jam-packed with seemingly endless plot lines from Leith's continuing misfortunes to Mary and Francis's differing ideas about how to deal with Narcisse. It was somehow more shockingly gory than normal with Nostradamus's drawing and quartering being stopped at the very last second and a live person being found amongst the deformed bodies of the plague victims.

In its Season 2 premiere, REIGN takes a definite turn for the gory with the horrifying evidence of the plague seen ten seconds into the episode. In the first sixteen minutes, the plague has already claimed fourteen victims in the castle – and it claims two of our named characters by the end of the episode. The writers of the show have promised that there will be major deaths nearly every episode this season and after this episode, I believe it.

The last episode of REIGN left us with a shocking death, a new set of monarchs, a baby in the process of being born, and country about to be ravished by illness. After a cliffhanger ending, I have high expectations for the series when it returns on Thursday, October 2.
