'Supergirl' Season 4, Episode 21 "Red Dawn": It's On Like Donkey Kong! [PREVIEW]

As we fly head-first into season four's penultimate episode of the CW's Supergirl "Red Dawn," it looks like we're getting the smackdown we've been anxiously awaiting at least half the season for: Kara (Melissa Benoist) vs. Lex Luthor's (Jon Cryer) Red Daughter. Meanwhile, Alex (Chyler Leigh) realizes that there are some serious gaps in her memory, a second "famly reunion" takes place among the Luthors… and Brainiac-5 (Jesse Rath), Nia/Dreamer (Nicole Maines) and Hank/J'onn (David Harewood) are about to get an up-close-and-personal look at what Lex has been up to with all of those aliens…

When she was 12 years old, Kara Zor-El escaped the doomed planet Krypton and was sent to Earth where she was protected and raised by her foster parents, Jeremiah (Dean Cain) and Eliza Danvers (Helen Slater) and her foster sister, Alex (Chyler Leigh). Under their supervision, Kara learned to conceal the phenomenal powers she shares with her famous cousin, Superman (Tyler Hoechlin), in order to keep her identity a secret.

Years later, Kara was living a "normal" life in National City, assisting media mogul and fierce taskmaster Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) and working with her famous friend, and now Editor-in-chief of CatCo, James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks). When Alex's life was threatened in a plane crash, Kara took to the sky to rescue her. In the aftermath, Kara decided she could no longer sit on the sidelines and came out as Supergirl. She now balances her job as a reporter at CatCo Worldwide Media with her work at the Department of Extra-Normal Operations (DEO), a super-secret government agency, which is run by her sister Alex. Supergirl also gets help from her friends, J'onn J'onzz aka The Martian Manhunter (David Harewood), Brainiac-5 (Jesse Rath) and Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath), who's doesn't know Supergirl's true identity is that of her best friend Kara Danvers.

In season four, Supergirl is facing a bigger threat than she's ever faced before — a new wave of anti-alien sentiment is spreading across National City fomented by Agent Liberty (Sam Witwer). As Kara mentors a new reporter at CatCo, Nia Nal (Nicole Maines), and tries to use the power of the press to shine a light on the issues, which threaten to tear the city apart, Supergirl takes to the skies to battle the many villains who rise up in this era of divisiveness. But how does Supergirl battle a movement when she, herself an alien, represents one of the main things people are fearful of?
