Supergirl continues season 2 in fighting form. Last night’s episode showed us how Mon-El ended up on Earth, treated us to an alien fight club, a little spark of possible romance between Maggie and Alex and, showed us some Miss Martian.

Alex and Maggie team up on a case, leaving Kara out of the loop. After a lead has the duo getting knocked out by a strike team, who kidnaps their prime suspect, the trail leads the two to an underground fight club run to entertain the wealthy by any means necessary. Before Alex and Maggie get caught Supergirl drops into the ring disrupting a fight between Miss Martian & their prime suspect. Supergirl gets the wind knocked out of her by a supersized alien gladiator.

Kara and Alex break the news about Miss Martian to J’onn who goes out to get answers. Winn and Mon-El bond a bit in Mon’s attempt to get out of the DEO solitude. The boys take out on a boys night out to a dive bar where Mon accidentally breaks a guys arm during some arm wrestling. When J’onn confronts Miss Martian she explains the situation she’s in and how powerful and dangerous the people running the fights are. After a heated exchange, she tells him who’s running the fights, Veronica Sinclair aka Roulette.

The episode wraps itself up nicely with Lana Luthor giving Kara the address to the fight so she can save a kidnapped J’onn who finds himself in a martian vs. martian battle royale to be the last martian standing. A backup alien is sent in to kill them both and Supergirl arrives and defeats him thanks to a tip from Mon-El. Kara turns in her story and mildly impresses Snapper and Alex gets snubbed by Maggie who is already seeing someone.

Overall this episode was top shelf awesome and I’m really loving the direction that this series has taken since it’s been on the CW.

Overall: 9.1
