SUPERGIRL Returns With Flying Monkeys and a Dose of Real Family Drama

Supergirl's first post-hiatus episode really has it all -- giant robot dinosaurs, flying monkeys, family drama, and a gratuitous amount of karaoke.

"Schott Through the Heart," is, as you may have guessed from the title, a Winn-centric episode, and the April 16 installment will see Winn struggling under the long shadow cast by his father, Winslow Schott Sr., aka Toyman, following his unexpected death in prison.

Matters are complicated by the sudden appearance of Winn's mother Mary (guest star Laurie Metcalf), who arrives in town with an outrageous story about her 20 year absence from her son's life. To boot, Mary claims that Winn is still in danger from Toyman, even now.

Meanwhile, as Alex gets closer to Myr'nn (guest star Carl Lumbly) she uncovers a heartbreaking secret that could devastate his and J'onn's relationship.

We've seen the episode a little early, thanks to our friends at the CW, and have compiled a number of short teasers for you below. As always, we avoid spoilers, as well as plot-point and character reveals that might ruin your enjoyment of the live episode. However, as one girl's gentle teaser is another's great big flaming spoiler, we urge you to proceed with a teeny bit of caution anyway. If you'd like to know more about our spoiler policy you can find details through the link in this sentence.

Family Drama

Maybe it’s because we’re genre fans, but we’re constantly expecting newly returned parents shouldering strange unexplained absences to turn evil and try to kill everyone by the episode’s end.

“Schott Through the Heart” gives us, not one, but two family dramas, in which our favorite characters struggle with the burden of their parents’ long-held secrets.

The result is a couple of touching, at times sad, and very real dramatic moments that we suspect will play into further episodes ahead.

That said, we can’t confirm or deny any evil-turning at this juncture.
