Supergirl season 4 episode 1 spoilers: First details on ‘American Alien’

Want to know what lies ahead on Supergirl season 4 episode 1? This episode is a bit of a reset, but also a new beginning. After everything that happened with Reign, it does feel as though some of these characters need a break — beyond that, it’s also equally clear that we need to see Kara Danvers again in a major capacity.

“American Alien” is an episode that should offer this opportunity. We’re going to get a chance to see some dramatic twists and turns, and also some new characters including Nia Nal, a young reporter who eventually could become the superhero Dreamer.

Below, CarterMatt has the Supergirl season 4 episode 1 synopsis for some additional news as to what you can expect to see:

HOPE VS. FEAR – Diving back into reporting, Kara (Melissa Benoist) welcomes a new cub reporter to CatCo. Meanwhile, James (Mehcad Brooks) and Lena (Katie McGrath) argue about James’ impending indictment for acting as the vigilante Guardian, while Alex (Chyler Leigh) and Brainy (Jesse Rath) struggle to get in sync at the DEO. Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) is called into action when remnants of the anti-alien terrorist organization Cadmus try to assassinate pro-alien leaders, but their endgame turns out to be much more sinister than she expected. J’onn (David Harewood) relishes his peaceful new life, but an outing with an old friend causes him concern. Jesse Warn directed the episode with story by Robert Rovner & Jessica Queller and teleplay by Gabriel Llanas & Aadrita Mukerji (#401). Original airdate 10/14/2018.

There is going to be a lot of drama ahead across many fronts, but we do think that much of this story is going to revolve around the unified theme of acceptance, identity, and trying to find yourself in the midst of what is an extremely complicated world.
