If you're a fan of The CW's Supergirl, then you know that every episode of the long-running series is special- especially considering we're in the midst of the final season. But that said, next week's episode "Blind Spots" definitely has some pretty cool things going for it.

However, her horror quickly turns to frustration when she realizes that the hospital is overwhelmed, people are getting sicker, and no one is coming to help – including Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) who is busy fighting Nyxly (Peta Sergeant). Knowing that she can make a difference, Kelly embraces her power and fully steps into her role as Guardian.
