Quotes 

• Brainiac-5 : Winn, you're a slightly smarter-than-average human. Please tell us you remember who scratched you.

  Winn Schott : [gasps]  Oh! Well, there was the guy with the gloves, and the knives and then the burnt face.

  Brainiac-5 : Go on. This sounds like a very promising lead. What else do you remember?

  Winn Schott : Oh, so scary man. I couldn't even look at it...

  Alex Danvers : It's Freddy Krueger.

  Brainiac-5 : You know him, too. Eureka.

  Supergirl : It's a character in a movie.

  [Winn laughs] 

  Brainiac-5 : Facetiousness. It's my greatest weakness.

• Alex Danvers : Hey, stop right there.

  Mon-El : Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa. Guys, it's Brainy.

  Brainiac-5 : Oh, of course. I'm wearing a personal image inducer. I had to purchase some apple cider vinegar, and I nearly caused a riot at Piggly Wiggly. I thought this would, uh, help me fit in better.

• J'onn J'onzz : Hey, nice to see you both up. You had us a little worried there.

  Alex Danvers : Wait a minute. Where's Winn?

  J'onn J'onzz : Against my better judgment, he's back at work.

  Alex Danvers : Oh, what a suck-up.

• Alex Danvers : [about an inexplicably dead pigeon]  Well, that was a very sick creature. And what's odd is that I can't find a virus or infection of any kind.

  Supergirl : Well, something must have done that.

  Imra Ardeen : The Blight.

  Mon-El : We went through this on Winath. The Blight is preceeded by mass wildlife death and plant life, crops rotting in the earth.

  Imra Ardeen : Soon it will manifest in people.

  Mon-El : It's a short incubation period. It's 100% fatal and extremely contagious.

• Alex Danvers : Based on my tests, whatever this bird had, it wasn't transmittable. Not even from bird to bird. So it-it had to have come in contact with Pestilence herself.

  Imra Ardeen : It might not be contagious yet, but if Pestilence gets stronger, even half the strength of the Blight, the entire city would fall ill in a matter of days.

  Supergirl : But we won't let her get stronger.

  Mon-El : Now, remember, the cure is written in our DNA.

  Imra Ardeen : With Brainy's help, we'll be able to extract it, weaponize it, and use it to kill Pestilence before she ever becomes the Blight.

  Supergirl : Whoa! Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're not killing anyone. We-we got too aggressive with Purity, and that's when things got worse. I'm not making the same mistake twice. There is a human side to Pestilence. We're gonna find her, and we're going to save her.

  Imra Ardeen : We came here to end the threat to our time. And that means ending her life in this time.

  Supergirl : It's just not how we operate.

  Imra Ardeen : That's not how I ususally operate, but these are extreme circumstances.

• Dr. Grace Parker : As you can see, most of the patients have scratches, but none of them remember being scratched.

  Alex Danvers : They probably didn't even feel it. But I think it's the origin of the infection.

  Winn Schott : Okay, so everyone who is sick was scratched by the source. That confirms your theory that it was not passed person to person.

• Winn Schott : Okay, so there was one person who came into contact with everybody who got sick at the mayor's office. Adelaide Swanson, an administrator known for her famous lemon poppy seed cookies.

  Alex Danvers : A Worldkiller that bakes cookies. That's unexpected.

  Supergirl : Wait, let me see.

  [Winn shows her Adelaide's picture, and Kara recognizes her] 

  Supergirl : Yeah. Yeah, I saw her at City Hall. She looked... well, she looked terrified. Just like Julia.

• J'onn J'onzz : Winn, Alex, keep looking.

  Winn Schott : Man, I was so sure it was gonna be her. I mean, according to the security footage, she's the only person that came into contact with all the victims.

  Alex Danvers : Winn.

  Winn Schott : Hmm?

  Alex Danvers : Your nose.

  Winn Schott : [realizing his nose is bleeding]  My nose...

  Alex Danvers : J'onn, Supergirl, you need to get back here now. It's Winn.

• James Olsen : How you doing, buddy?

  Winn Schott : You should be at CatCo.

  James Olsen : It's called delegation. I've got every reporter in the building working on this. Which... which actually reminds me, the city is pretty panicked about this. So if you have any information I can disseminate, that would be helpful.

  J'onn J'onzz : Doses of the cure are on their way to all the hospitals.

  Supergirl : And the Worldkiller is still MIA.

  James Olsen : Yeah, but now that Winn is infected, doesn't that give us another lead?

  Brainiac-5 : Yes. The scratch on your hand seems to be the point of infection.

  Alex Danvers : [slapping his hand away]  Don't touch that.

• Supergirl : [after talking to the mayor]  Did you see that mark on his hand?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, it must not be airborne.

  J'onn J'onzz : Alex, check and see if any other patients have similar marks. I'll check the visitor logs.

• Dr. Grace Parker : Well, if you're sure it's not contagious, then I need the quarantine lifted and the patients transferred to the nearest trauma facility.

  Alex Danvers : We have a lead on a treatment.

  Dr. Grace Parker : You do? Already?

  Winn Schott : Well, we work very fast on account of being really smart.

  Dr. Grace Parker : Some people find humor charming during stressful circumstances. I find it's a mask for a lack of confidence.

  Winn Schott : Well, I find that... I have no retort.

  Alex Danvers : We'll get the patients transferred as soon as possible. And when the treatment is ready, we'll have it widely distributed.

  Dr. Grace Parker : You, I believe.

• Winn Schott : Okay, so, mean doctor says we have to lift the quarantine.

  Alex Danvers : She's not mean, she's just serious. And she's correct. If the same thing that happened to the birds happens to these patients, they could descend into catastrophic organ failure.

  J'onn J'onzz : There's a possibility that Pestilence is still here.

  Alex Danvers : Mon-El did say that there's an incubation period, but those scratches did not look new. And she's probably not even here anymore.

  Supergirl : Let's get all these people to the hospital, and J'onn, you and I can fly the really sick ones.

  J'onn J'onzz : All right, people, let's keep it calm. The last thing we need is a panic.

  [hearing a commotion outside] 

  J'onn J'onzz : What is that?

  [exiting the building, they see Imra raising a force field with her powers] 

  J'onn J'onzz : So much for avoiding a panic.

• Supergirl : So, Winn's running through security footage to see who came in contact with everyone who got sick.

  Alex Danvers : Well, I just got word that Brainy, Imra, and Mon-El have extracted the cure, and they're manufacturing doses as we speak. So, hopefully it's just a matter of time.

• Alex Danvers : I know that you're frustrated, okay? But there's still a really good chance that Imra could come around. You know, and that we can work with her on this. She might have some really important insight into Pestilence.

  Supergirl : Yeah, to kill her. I don't kill. I mean, you know it's possible to reach them. You of all people understand how important it is to help whoever's in Pestilence.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, of course I do. But I didn't see that at first. You were the one who convinced me that the Worldkillers could even be saved. So maybe Imra just needs a little more convincing.

• Alex Danvers : The scratches don't seem to manifest until the symptoms do. And the only trace evidence I could find is a mild anesthetic.

  J'onn J'onzz : Well, Alex, keep running those tests. See if you can come up with something more promising. In the meantime, get a team out. See if you can talk to these patients and find a common link.

• Alex Danvers : [recovering in sickbay, she's alarmed to see Kara in the next bed]  Oh, my god. Are you okay?

  Supergirl : Yeah, yeah. Yes, I'm-I'm fine. Just a little weak. Are you okay?

  Alex Danvers : I'm alive.

• Supergirl : You have no idea how happy I am to see you healthy again.

  Alex Danvers : Did we get her?

  Supergirl : Not yet.

  J'onn J'onzz : But, uh, we'll keep trying.

• J'onn J'onzz : You know, maybe I'm being a little selfish, but, um... I couldn't imagine getting through the next few months without you. Dealing with my father, and all of the unexpected things to come.

  Alex Danvers : I would never let you go through that alone.
