Anti-alien sentiment exploded overnight on Supergirl after the world found out the president is an alien.
When we first met the Deo in season 1 of Supergirl, it was a hardline anti-alien agency. In the intervening years, however, Supergirl, J'onn J'onzz and Alex Danvers have transformed it into a justice-oriented policing organization (if such a thing can exist) with aims toward tolerance and harmony between all peoples on Earth.
But according to this exclusive clip from this Sunday's episode, "Fallout," that mission just became infinitely more difficult.
Here's the episode description:
Chaos In National City — A shocking revelation causes chaos in National City. Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) sets out to capture Mercy Graves (guest star Rhona Mitra), while Alex (Chyler Leigh) takes control at the Deo. Back at CatCo, Kara decides to write an investigative story on Mercy and asks Lena (Katie McGrath) if she can interview her as...

Resonating with an authenticity borne of the experiences of its director/co-screenwriter Jamal Joseph, Chapter & Verse movingly portrays the plight of a recently released ex-con striving to make a new life for himself on the mean streets of Harlem. Featuring a superb lead performance by acclaimed theater performer Daniel Beaty in his screen debut, the film handles its admittedly familiar themes in uncommonly sensitive fashion.
Beaty, who also co-wrote the screenplay, plays the central role of Lance, who has just been released from prison after serving eight years. Although Lance has taken the opportunity while incarcerated to learn computer repair,...
