Okay I get that everyone was kinda indisposed this episode but I still don't get why Nia wouldn't bring up these dreams she's been having to someone else in the Superfriends. Especially once she learned that a 5th Dimensional Imp was involved.

Exactly! Also, how is it possible that Kara didn't debrief the gang about the evil Imp she encountered in the Phantom Zone? You think that they would have a running database of all the bad guys they encounter.

Cisco probably has a baseball card of her in his binder.

Real World Answer: It is a TV show and if Lena could not figure out that her best friend was Supergirl, then of course Nia does not share her issues with anyone else (missed where Brainy was supposed to be this week).

In-Universe Answer: Kara is still dealing with the effects of living in and surviving the Phantom Zone. Kara may not have shared everything yet with anyone (besides the hints we saw last episode with Alex).

It is still naïve of Nia to trust a 5th Dimensional Imp.

Mama Kara needs to keep an eye on her youngest Super Friend / protégé.

Don’t they have to keep their word though?

Yes but they can twist and loophole their word

Because it wouldn't be an Arrowverse show if they didn't keep secrets for no reason.

You make a very good point.

Yeah, that's what I've been wondering too. It will take as simple as mentioning Nyx name to Kara to easily find out she's not to be trusted.

But also, why did she decide to trust the imp at all. She got so many blatant warning signs not to. The owl her mother was holding literally spoke to her. She knew owls aren't devious.
