Quotes 

• Nia Nal : I can't believe it. CatCo's not gonna be the same without you.

  Lena Luthor : Being a journalist is part of who you are.

  Supergirl : I know, but with Nxyly still out there, I need to stay focused. She is the biggest threat we have ever faced, and there's no reason for us to always be one step behind. I want to draw Nxyly out and catch her off-guard.

  J'onn J'onnz : I like it. How do we do it?

  Brainiac-5 : We have a plan. Nia, Lena, Kelly, to the lab.

  Supergirl : And I could use your help on disarming strategies.

  J'onn J'onnz : Sure.

• William Dey : Okay, I won't publish anything until after you succeed. But how exactly is this plan gonna work?

  Supergirl : After conferring with the Kryptonian witch hologram, we've deduced the next totem Nxyly will go after. The Love totem.

  Lena Luthor : Using my magic, I'm gonna mimic the energy of the totems we already have, thereby creating a fake Love totem, which will be indistinguishable from the real one.

  Brainiac-5 : And when Nxyly picks up on that signature, she'll come for the totem, right to the secure location we've chosen.

  Dreamer : Where our team will be staked out waiting to contain Nxyly the minute she shows her face.

• Nia Nal : Try reversing the totems' energy signatures. That should create a baseline to repel the Dream totem.

  Lena Luthor : Yeah, she's right. That should theoretically work.

  Brainiac-5 : Sure. Yes, theoretically. What if Lex is using some other technology from the 31st century? Sprock. I should have known. The 31st century is a technology nirvana. Of course Lex would have been drawn to that time. I just... I just wish we knew what he was doing in the future.

  Lena Luthor : Well, what's the Legion say?

  Brainiac-5 : Uh, I haven't contacted them yet.

  Nia Nal : What? Brainy, they would know what Lex is up to, and we need all the information we can get.

  Brainiac-5 : I know. But knowing things about the future could have major consequences on the...

  Nia Nal , Brainiac-5 : Space/time continuum.

  Brainiac-5 : And the last time I acted on information from the future, I teamed up with Lex, betrayed my friends, and nearly destroyed half the world. I don't wanna go down that path again.

  Lena Luthor : I understand.

  Nia Nal : All right. Well... I'll try to dream the location of the Love totem. But if you guys should have a need of my genius again, give a whistle.

• Brainiac-5 : Lex's behavior tonight... it was irrational. He had the Love totem in his grasp, and yet... yet he portaled away without it. Why?

  Nia Nal : I try not to get too much into the psyche of Lex Luthor.

  Brainiac-5 : Something changed him in the future. We need to know more. I don't want to make the same mistakes of the past.

  Nia Nal : Well, you won't. 'Cause this time, you don't have secrets. This time, you have me and the rest of the team, and we trust you. You need to call the future.

• Nxylgsptinz : Oh, good. You're back.

  [seeing the bruise on his face] 

  Nxylgsptinz : What happened to you?

  Mitch : [covering]  I was doing research and a book fell on my face. Twice. But I did read "Tale of an Object Infused with Love". You know, maybe it's the Love totem.

  Nxylgsptinz : [taking a book from him]  Ines De Castro, the Corpse bride of Portugal. The grave of famous lovers in Portugal. Hmm. That's just what the Mxy ball said.

  Nia Nal : [elsewhere, waking from a dream]  I know where the Love totem is.
