Supergirl - Midseason 6 Finale "Fear Knot" 1) Zor-El tried to keep positive after Kara was scratched by a Phantom Zone Phantom and lost all hope. 2) J'onn and the Tower heroes converted the Tower into a spaceship and headed into the Phantom Zone to resuce Kara but the Phantom on board gave everyone visions of their worst nightmares. Last Minute Reveal: The Tower ship headed home with Kara and Zor-El safely on board and Princess Nxy clinging to the hull!

Ed’s Winner for the Week: Stephanie Brown (Morgan Kohan) - This is the first time this season that a lesser known but really cool comics character has made their debut in an Arrowverse show. She is about 10 years older here than in the books but her origin was portrayed very faithfully. I can't wait to see if she and Luke become an item and whether or not we will see her in costume as Spoiler before the end of this season.
