"Supergirl" Season 5: If Kara Is Andrea's "Bodyguard", Will Lex End Up Her Long Lost Pal? [PREVIEW]

The CW's Supergirl more than earned the right to take a little time off – especially after last episode, "It's a Super Life". What could've been yet another series doing yet another take on It's a Wonderful Life turned out to be so much more – boosted by Thomas Lennon's take on Mxyzptlk and Kara's (Melissa Benoist) reaction to seeing just how different things would've been if she had told Lena (Katie McGrath) the truth. But what us on the episode was Kara's "tough love" talk with Lena: essentially, I love you… I'm here for you… there's still time to fix things.

But if she continues siding with Lex? Lena can count herself as one of Supergirl's "big bads"…

Which brings us to this Sunday, March 8th episode "The Bodyguard", which feels like a bit of a "breather" episode as Lex (Jon Cryer) needs Kara to be a… Superguard???

"Supergirl" season 5, episode 14 "The Bodyguard": LENA MOVES FORWARD WITH NON NOCERE – Lex (guest star Jon Cryer) tasks Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) with protecting Andrea (Julie Gonzalo) from an anti-tech extremist, but his nefarious purpose goes beyond merely keeping Andrea alive. Meanwhile, Lena (Katie McGrath) moves forward with Non Nocere, with Lex's help. Gregory Smith directed the episode with story by Lindsay Sturman and teleplay by Emilio Ortega Aldrich & Chandler Smidt

"Supergirl" Season 5: If Kara Is Andrea's "Bodyguard", Will Lex End Up Her Long Lost Pal? [PREVIEW]

In season five, Supergirl faces threats, both new and ancient. National City becomes enthralled with addictive virtual reality technologies created by CatCo's charming-but-secretive new owner, Andrea Rojas (Julie Gonzalo), which enable people to bury their heads in the proverbial sand. As Kara uses the power of the press to try to expose this danger, she must contend with challenges put up by rival reporter William Dey (Staz Nair), renegade Martian Malefic J'onzz (Phil LaMarr), a shadowy organization called Leviathan, and the shocking return of Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) who, in addition to his plot for world domination, seeks to claim the soul of Supergirl's best friend — and his sister — Lena. With humanity choosing to lose itself in technology, can Supergirl save the world yet again?
