There’s a point during SupergirlSeason 6 Episode 20, “Kara,” when Lex throws a tantrum because he knows he’s losing, and it’s pitch-perfect. Jon Cryer knows to walk the complete opposite line with Lex Luthor, and it works so well. It’s a shame that Nyxly has to go out the same way as Lex because it feels like there is still so much to discover about that character. Supergirlattempts to create an environment where a more sympathetic perception of Nyxly is encouraged, but it shouldn’t take Esme’s life being in danger for that to arise.ĭespite that, it’s easy to see through Nyxly’s cracks because of Peta Sergeant’s compassionate performance.

The rapid-fire in which things escalate between the scorned love birds is whiplash-inducing, though.
It tackles a bulk of the Lex and Nyxly drama efficiently. This shift is possible because of the heavy lifting SupergirlSeason 6 Episode 19, “The Last Gauntlet,” does. The two-hour series finale does this with great ease in its second half by remembering the characters and themes that will live on in fans’ hearts. Somehow, someway Supergirldelivers a series finale that ties up exhausted loose ends and sets the Super Friends up for a bright future.
