Lena Luthor : Mr. Olsen. Come to tell Kara "I told you so"? Another Luthor takes innocent lives, news at eleven?
James Olsen : Ms. Luthor, despite our differences, I would hope by now that you would recognize that I see you as more than just an extension of your brother. However, I... I do think that you should get ahead of this thing. Which, in my opinion, I think you should step down from CatCo; so whatever we report, good or bad, comes off as truthful.
Kara Danvers : No, that would look like an admission of guilt.
Lena Luthor : No, Kara, he's right. Whatever's happening, whoever's responsible, this is a public crisis, and the public deserves to be able to trust the reporting so that they can prepare themselves. They expect integrity from us. They deserve it, and they need it now more than ever. Mr. Olsen, you will run CatCo until this is resolved. And I think I should also step down from L-Corp.
Samantha Arias : Lena, we need you. We need you to help guide the research.
Lena Luthor : No, no. L-Corp has a brain trust that is more than capable, okay? If I'm involved, I could be accused of... of covering things up, or even profiting from the sick. This can't be like Flint, Michigan, okay? Where... where bureaucracy got in the way. Helping people has to be the focus.

Kara Danvers : Winn?
Winn Schott : Yo. What is going on?
Kara Danvers : I'm gonna send you a water sample from a public pool.
Winn Schott : Oh, really? You know what? When I made that device, J'onn tried to tell me that no one was ever gonna use it, and I said to him, I said "J'onn, one day, someone's gonna need to take a sample on the go." Here we are. Oh, I got it.
Kara Danvers : Is it lead?
Winn Schott : Oh, my god.
Kara Danvers : What?
Winn Schott : Um, this is an advanced hydromorphic carbon nitrate compound.
Kara Danvers : What does that mean?
Winn Schott : It's a synthetic compound that, when combined with water, exhibits the exact same properties as, you guessed it, lead. And if someone's exposed to it, the exact same symptoms as lead poisoning.
Kara Danvers : So it wasn't the lead bomb.
Winn Schott : No. No, it wasn't.
-
Samantha Arias : Okay, what's this?
Kara Danvers : I've just been trying to skim through public records to get info on the families affected.
Samantha Arias : I've been doing the same thing. Um... the medical team at L-Corp was able to secure the addresses for all the sick children.
Kara Danvers : So what happens when you connect the "X"s?
Samantha Arias : Nothing. The movies lie. Usually, when something like this happens, those affected are from a specific area, but these kids are from all over the city. Luke, who I saw this morning at Ruby's school, he lives down the street, but then there are two kids who live across the city and go to Bergen Country Day, and there's another one who lives all the way in Edgemont. I just... I've been staring at this, trying to make sense of it.
Kara Danvers : There's gotta be some way these kid are connected. Social media, school records, bank statements. Maybe there's a link.
Samantha Arias : Bank statements. Let's follow the money.
Kara Danvers : Yes. I'll make a call.
Samantha Arias : You don't have to. I'm on it.
Kara Danvers : How did you...?
[realizing, she snickers]
Kara Danvers : I can see why Lena likes you.

Winn Schott : Okay, so I sealed off the room to contain the lead cloud, and we have some sensors that will, uh, analyze the particulate.
Kara Danvers : So how will you know if the device is the cause?
Winn Schott : Okay, so when Lena and I crunched the numbers during the invasion, like, 99.96% of the molecules bonded to Daxamite genes, which basically means that if it hits a human, it evaporates; no harm done. The rest, you know, .04% we chalked up to margin of error. So as long as we get the same numbers today, we're good.
Kara Danvers : Okay. Hit it.
Winn Schott : Great.
[he actives the device]
Winn Schott : Okay.
Kara Danvers : Anything?
Winn Schott : Well, hopefully... it... was...
Kara Danvers : What?
Winn Schott : Ooh.
Kara Danvers : Winn, what's the percentage?
Winn Schott : [showing her the reading of 89.79%] Um...
Kara Danvers : So there's a 10% chance the device is the cause.
Winn Schott : 10.21.

Kara Danvers : I came to let you know that I'm not done. Not by a long shot. Until we know for sure, I will turn over every rock, and...
Lena Luthor : Just stop.
Kara Danvers : You are one of the strongest women I know. Why aren't you fighting?
Lena Luthor : Because I did it! Kara, I... I did it. You know, all I ever wanted to be was good. My whole life, I was a pariah; first because I was rich, and then because of my brother, so... and then then, finally, I did just... just one thing... one thing that was good, and now I'm the monster that poisons children. You know, even... even Lex Luthor never did that.
Kara Danvers : Anyone who knows you knows that you would never...
Lena Luthor : Maybe I'm the same. People are sick, and it's my fault.
Kara Danvers : There's still a chance it wasn't you.
Lena Luthor : And I know that you believe that everything is good and kind, and that... that is one of the things I love about you. But that's not the real world. In the real world, my last name's bin Laden, and everything I do hurts people. Hey, you know, it's... it's in my DNA, okay, so please, just... just... just stop. Stop believing me, okay? I am not worth it.

Supergirl : Poisoning innocent children for your vendetta against Lena Luthor? It's even lower than I expected of you, Edge.
Morgan Edge : You know, I sold Acre Lee Chemical over two years ago.
Supergirl : Convenient.
Morgan Edge : And besides, I heard they found the guy. Yeah, he was some crazed, lone wolf former Marine, Air Force; he had a bone to pick with her family. It's too bad he killed himself, 'cause we could have brought him to justice.
Supergirl : Hmm. Too bad.
Morgan Edge : You know, I was thinking... he must have really hated her. Do you ever wonder what that feels like? That kind of hate. Because I don't think you're capable of it.
Supergirl : You have no idea what I am capable of.
Morgan Edge : Is this about me now? Because when you got mad at me, you dumped me on a cargo ship in the middle of the sea. What a hassle. It cost me a few hours. Thirty bucks in dry cleaning. I don't know what kind of hippy-dippy justice you practiced on your planet, sweetheart, but this is the real world. It's dog eat dog out here. Now, if I had an enemy, I'd crush her without mercy. Let's say, for instance, I was your enemy, hmm? The thing for you to do right now would be to kill me. But you capes, you don't have what it takes. Do you?
[she bites her tongue]
Morgan Edge : Yeah. I didn't think so. You can leave the way you came in. I think the cleaning crew enjoyed the show.

Alex Danvers : You remember when you said that, uh... if I lost Maggie, that I would be at a bar drinking? That I would be broken? Score one for the girl from Krypton.
[Kara kisses her forehead, then pull out her phone]
Kara Danvers : J'onn, this is Kara. You're gonna have to get by at the DEO without Alex and I for a couple of days. Yeah.
[hanging up]
Kara Danvers : We are going back to your place, and you're gonna pack a bag.
Alex Danvers : Where are we going?
Kara Danvers : We're going home.
-
Supergirl : You holding up okay?
Alex Danvers : No.
Supergirl : It's happening tomorrow?
Alex Danvers : Yeah.

Lena Luthor : Where the hell do you get off?
Morgan Edge : [he gives her the "one minute" gesture, then hands some paperwork to an orderly] Thank you.
[turning to Lena]
Morgan Edge : That was me, paying the end of the medical expenses at your hospital.
Lena Luthor : So this is what your revenge looks like.
Morgan Edge : Have you ever heard of the cobra effect, Lena? Colonial India, the British government, they realized there were snakes all over Delhi. They wanted them gone. So they offered a bounty for dead snakes. And then they realized people were breeding snakes for income; they thought everything was going really well. They realized they got slithering snakes all over Delhi. The whole thing backfired. Turns out they made the problem worse. You understand?
Lena Luthor : You're a toxic predator.
Morgan Edge : Unintended consequences. You wanted to be a hero so bad, you didn't care who you hurt. Now people are gonna die.
Kara Danvers : Even if all of this were true, Supergirl would be just as much to blame. She made the call to use that device.
Morgan Edge : Supergirl may have pushed the button, sure. But that tech was all Luthor.
Lena Luthor : You're a bottom feeder.
Morgan Edge : But I didn't poison children. That was you.
-
Winn Schott : Jeez. If that bullet had a little more stopping power, your shoulder would be a mess.
James Olsen : Yeah, that's what you said last time.
Kara Danvers : Edge riled them up. He knew what he was doing.
James Olsen : The shooter just found out that her son took a turn for the worse. Now, I'm not making any excuses, but she just went after who she thought was responsible.
Kara Danvers : What are you saying? You still think that Lena's responsible for what's happening?
James Olsen : I'm not saying that she did this, I'm just saying that maybe this happened because of what she did.
Kara Danvers : Semantics.
James Olsen : She jerry-rigged that device to do something it was never intended to do. Look, I know you don't want to hear this, but that device was invented by Lex Luthor.
-
Kara Danvers : Lena?
Lena Luthor : [obviously drunk] Hey. Hey, look. I made a metaphor.
Kara Danvers : Are you here alone?
Lena Luthor : Sam's running my company, Ruby's at a friend's. What news from the front?
Kara Danvers : Nothing yet.
Lena Luthor : You know, you're terrible at hiding things from me.
Kara Danvers : [more to herself] I wouldn't be so sure of that.
-
Samantha Arias : You know, I have known Lena a long time, and I have never seen her like this.
Kara Danvers : She wants everyone to think she's so tough.
Samantha Arias : Yeah, but she is mush on the inside.
-
Kara Danvers : [following a lead at a public pool] Eliza used to bring me to a place like this.
Samantha Arias : Who's Eliza?
Kara Danvers : Oh, my adoptive mom. Every Tuesday and Thursday.
Samantha Arias : You're adopted? So am I.
Kara Danvers : Really?
Samantha Arias : Except for my place was Mondays and Wednesdays. Gosh, we really loved swimming. Every kid loves swimming.
[Kara surreptitiously x-rays the pool water]
Kara Danvers : I'm gonna test the pool.
Samantha Arias : You're gonna test it?
Kara Danvers : I have a friend at the FBI who helps me on stories. Tests stuff, lab work.
Samantha Arias : That's a good friend to have.
-
Kara Danvers : Sam and I are at this pool, and all the kids who got sick have been here.
Lena Luthor : I thought I told you to stop.
Kara Danvers : It wasn't you.
Lena Luthor : What?
Kara Danvers : There's a synthetic chemical, when it touches water, it becomes toxic to the body. It mimics the same symptoms as lead poisoning.
Lena Luthor : Well, how... how did it get in the swimming pool?
Kara Danvers : It's in the chlorine containers. They've been using it instead of chlorine. Sam and I are gonna try to track down the manufacturer. Acre Lee Chemical.
Lena Luthor : Acre Lee Chemical?
Kara Danvers : Yeah. You know it?
Lena Luthor : [covering] No. No. Thank you. Both of you.
-
Samantha Arias : Good news. The antidote L-Corp synthesized is working. The kids are getting better.
Lena Luthor : Oh, thank god.
Samantha Arias : [accepting a glass of wine] Thank you.
Lena Luthor : You guys, I need to say thank you for not giving up on me and not letting me give up on myself.
Samantha Arias : Well, I think Kara and I made a pretty good team.
Kara Danvers : Uh, more than pretty good, if I do say so myself.
Lena Luthor : I... I probably also should apologize to you, I mean... I'm lucky you're still speaking to me.
Kara Danvers : Hey. When you're family, you can say what you need to say, and the people that love you still will love you.
Samantha Arias : That's right.
Lena Luthor : I've never had anyone like that in my life.
Kara Danvers : That's because you've never had a sister.
Samantha Arias : Two. Two sisters.
-
Lena Luthor : You know, you're terrible at hiding things from me.
Kara Danvers : [chuckles] I wouldn't be so sure of that.
