Quotes 

• Alex Danvers : Don't you think that it's weird that we're sitting here eating dumplings like everything is normal, and yet Jeremiah is gone?

  Kelly Olsen : No. The only permanent thing about life is that things change. The cycle of life goes on. And you... still need to eat.

  Kara Danvers : Yeah, you know what? This book that Lena gave me actually has strikingly similar advice. "Things are constantly in flux, arising and passing with each moment." We have no control, so eat the dumplings.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah. Well, I still can't believe the fact that she gave you that after everything that happened.

  Kara Danvers : Well, maybe she's coming around. Seeing the light about Lex.

  Kelly Olsen : No. No light about him. That man is...

  Kara Danvers : The devil incarnate.

• Kara Danvers : Are these baked goods?

  William Dey : Yes. Scones, sticky toffee pudding, and banoffee pie, all my mother's favorite recipes for comfort food. I... I hope it helps.

  Kara Danvers : [trying to contain her excitement]  Oh, my god!

  Alex Danvers : You made all of this?

  William Dey : Well, I didn't want to show up empty-handed coming here, asking for help... with a story on Lex Luthor and Obsidian.

• Alex Danvers : Hey, any luck with the warehouse?

  Supergirl : It was empty.

  J'onn J'onzz : I was able to pick up Richard Bates' psychic signal, along with dozens of other people in that warehouse. But when I tried to connect, there was some kind of interference.

  Querl Dox : [entering]  It's because Obsidian is adding Platinum users by the minute. The lenses interface with the brain by using Q-waves, which operate on a similar frequency as Malefic's Martian brain.

  J'onn J'onzz : Just as I can't connect to Mal, I can't find those missing people.

  Querl Dox : You can connect with them... by using Myriad. Lena wanted to use Myriad to disperse her Q-wave mind control, but if you turn it on in reverse, it will compress the Q-waves in the atmosphere, making it possible for you to track the psychic signatures.

  Supergirl : And it wouldn't be dangerous?

  Querl Dox : In your hands, no.

  Supergirl : Then I'll go. But I don't like it.

• William Dey : Before your father's funeral, Kelly and I were onto this idea that Lex had done something to Obsidian to cause people to get stuck in VR and disappear.

  Kelly Olsen : The missing people were wearing Obsidian lenses.

  William Dey : And a friend of mine from the NSA found a cluster of users all at the same address, a warehouse. But when I checked, it was empty. Only weird thing was a hospital ID bracelet on the ground. So, I checked it for fingerprints. I found one and sent it to my buddy at the NSA. Now, he just called me back with results while I was baking. The bracelet belonged to Richard Bates.

  Kelly Olsen : The same person who hacked Obsidian's failsafe.

  Alex Danvers : And who I beat up in VR.

  William Dey : One and the same. And get this: the hospital has no record of a Richard Bates ever being admitted.

  Alex Danvers : Wait a minute. Kelly, you said there was a list of users that are still stuck in VR, right? Can you show me that?

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah.

  [taking out her tablet] 

  Kelly Olsen : Here. This is the current list of users.

  Alex Danvers : Bonnie. I-I-I met this girl in VR. Why would anyone want to keep her there?

  William Dey : Human testing. Organ harvesting.

  Kara Danvers : And if people are getting hurt in Obsidian, we need to find out about it and expose them.

  William Dey : If we find the proof, I'll run the story. It'll be around the globe in minutes. The world will know if Obsidian is endangering them.

• Alex Danvers : Supergirl? Supergirl, are you there?

  J'onn J'onzz : The Sun-Eater must've absorbed her power.

  Alex Danvers : Okay, well, we need to save her. Like, now.

  Querl Dox : We can use a Lexosuit from the DEO. If we recalibrate the suit's internal radiation to 1,000 watts per meter, it will act like a mini sunlight chamber. We'll get it and bring it to the Fortress.

  J'onn J'onzz : [surprised to see M'gann land behind them]  M'gann?

  M'gann M'orzz : J'onn, your brother felt the Q-waves on Mars and sent me. My ship is armed with hydrogen weapons we can use to stop the Sun-Eater.

  J'onn J'onzz : Han Solo never looked so good.

  Querl Dox : That was a "Star Wars" reference.

  Alex Danvers : I know it. I know. Yeah.

• Supergirl : [returing the Sun-Eater to the Fortress]  That thing is much cuter when it's smaller.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, and not destroying the solar system.

• Alex Danvers : Why is this taking so long?

  Querl Dox : It takes several minutes for Myriad to suppress the Q-waves long enough for J'onn to see clearly.

  Alex Danvers : [hearing the Sun-Eater's roar]  What is that?

  J'onn J'onzz : A Sun-Eater.

  Querl Dox : That's impossible. The only one in the system...

  [realizing] 

  Querl Dox : ...is the baby from the Fortress of Solitude.
