Lena and Hope transform Malefic into a human form.

Kara wants to help William take down Andrea. She takes him to the DEO where they watch Alex interrogate Breathtaker.

At Fort Summit, Rip Roar steals Lex Luthor's marathon laser.

Malefic tells Lena that if she removes the part of his brain that stops him from killing his brother, he'll give her access to his mind.

Supergirl Season 5 Episode 5 Quotes

Leviathan Lady: You've really outdone yourself with those contact lenses. I hear they are as omnipresent as one of our plagues or floods.
Andrea: That was you yesterday?
Leviathan Lady: Leviathan is everywhere. And now a problem has come up. We need you to fix it. It's Rip Roar.

Kara: I never would have thought Andrea was a criminal and I was convinced William was evil. How could I have been so wrong about both of them? And now with Obsidian tech everywhere, I mean, everyone's just in these make believe worlds and it's hard to know what's real anymore. I just want some certainty.
J'onn: You know, my biggest takeaway from what happened with Malefic is when the world is uncertain, there's one thing that's rock solid. It's the people who love you.
