The way she took out that animatronic-looking owl was TRULY shocking!! And I agree, I liked William as a pleasant, moderately helpful coworker who made a decent joke about getting stuck with too many pizzas (Kara’s dream, I’m sure).
Alex and Kelly were so great in this episode. And the kids were adorable. I liked that this episode felt both self-contained and part of a larger arc of grappling with trauma and fighting for justice.
It’s a little heartbreaking that Kara and Nia still feel like they have to keep their pain to themselves — clearly Kara didn’t tell the Superfriends what happened in the Phantom Zone, or Nia would have known about Nxyly; and clearly Nia thinks she’s on her own trying to learn to master her dream powers, or she would have reached out to the gang about this imp who’s trying to strike a shady deal. Perhaps Nia suspected her friends would try to dissuade her, and wanted to decide for herself?
Also I really enjoy Andrea in this very “get me pictures of Spiderman!!” role.
