Quotes 

• Nia Nal : I think it's good Brainy and I broke up.

  Kara Danvers : [skeptical]  Right.

  Nia Nal : I'm being honest. Look... Brainy clearly has some... emotional complexities that I wasn't aware of. And whether that's because of the personality inhibitors or not, it's better to know now.

  Alex Danvers : Well, I will be honest. I am a bit worried about Brainy.

  Kara Danvers : Yeah. I mean, it must be so strange to have your whole self just shift like that.

  Nia Nal : Uh, so, how's it been at the DEO? Can't believe Lex owns it in this universe.

  Alex Danvers : Employees get stock options and four weeks paid vacation.

  Kara Danvers : But no beach vacation can mask evil. Just wish we knew what he was up to.

• Querl Dox : We're too late. If Toyman was here, he's gone now.

  Dreamer : Guys. I think I found something.

  Supergirl : [seeing an article about Andrea circled in red ink]  Andrea and her father?

  Winn Schott : My dad had a board just like this for Dunholtz.

  Alex Danvers : So, on Toyman's Earth, the Rojases must've had something to do with the fall of Winslow Schott, Sr.

  [the counter reaches 1 million followers] 

  Alex Danvers : We have to get to CatCo. We have to warn Andrea.

  Supergirl : She's not at CatCo. She's at...

  [realizing] 

  Supergirl : National City University with William.

  Winn Schott : [finding a flyer]  Home of the Tigers.

• Kara Danvers : Winn, this is Nia.

  Nia Nal : Hello.

  Winn Schott : Whoa, Nia. W... as in... as in Nia Nal?

  Nia Nal : Yeah?

  Winn Schott : Wow, wow. This is incredible. Holy...

  Nia Nal : Hi.

  Winn Schott : I'm sorry, your great-great-great-great-great... bunch of greats granddaughter, Nura Nal, is, like, one of my best friends and, like, the most kick-ass Legionnaire.

  Nia Nal : Uh... like, that's crazy. Tell... tell me everything. Uh, does-does she look like me?

  Alex Danvers : Okay, wait. Let's save story time until after we catch the bad guy.

• Nia Nal : I'm sorry I couldn't help you. It's just... my mind's been a little messy lately.

  Winn Schott : It's okay. Do you mind telling me exactly what you did see? It's just that Nura taught me how to interpret dreams. I'm kinda like her Watson.

  Nia Nal : I saw my ex-boyfriend turn into a tiger and attack me. Wildcat was my nickname for Brainy. It's...

  Winn Schott : Oh, I know.

  Nia Nal : I just thought I was better than letting him get into my head.

• Kara Danvers : Your candy tray awaits, milady.

  Nia Nal : Guys, I appreciate the breakup feast, but I'm fine.

  Kara Danvers : And deny us a night of guilt-free chocolate? I don't think so.

• Winn Schott : You know, I can't tell you a whole lot about the future, but I can tell you that you, Nia, are a powerful woman. You see this?

  [showing her his Legion ring] 

  Winn Schott : So, I'm the only human Legionnaire, so when I got my Legion ring, they had to soup it up with, like, some cool powers.

  Nia Nal : [watching him demonstrate]  Is that dream energy?

  Winn Schott : Yeah. So, Nura and I, uh, we fashioned the ring's abilities after her, and your, powers. Never let anyone make you question your own worth. Okay? And that is patented Nura Nal advice. She would kill me if I didn't give her credit.

• Alex Danvers : What did you see?

  Nia Nal : [glancing at Brainy]  Nothing.

  Querl Dox : Literally nothing? That seems unlikely.

  Nia Nal : Fine. I saw a tiger.

  [pushing past him, roughly shoulder-nudging him] 

  Nia Nal : Wildcat.

  Winn Schott : [Kara moves to follow her]  Um, let me.

• Querl Dox : Once he's hit a million followers, he's promised to strike. So you'll have to work fast.

  Kara Danvers : She can do it.

  Nia Nal : Um, right. Uh, so, are there any markers, any specifics I can keep an eye out for?

  Alex Danvers : All we know is that he wants attention.

  Nia Nal : Attention. Okay.

  [entering a dream state, she sees Brainy] 

  Nia Nal : Not you. Get out of my head, jerk.

• Nia Nal : [Kara leads her into the Tower]  Wait, this is the superhero-level stuff I have been waiting for.
