Supergirl season 4 episode 3 spoilers: Sam Witwer on Agent Liberty episode

Supergirl season 4 episode 3 is going to be a tremendously risky installment for the series. After all, Supergirl isn’t the focus. Heck, the majority of the main characters are not the focus. For most of the hour, the spotlight is instead going to be planted on Sam Witwer and his character of Agent Liberty, someone who has sparked a huge divide between humans and aliens. He’s the sort of leader who could spark a war in National City and beyond, but like most villains within this show, he wasn’t always like this. He was at one point Ben Lockwood, someone who had different views that eventually brought him to this place. There are reasons why he has started this movement, and also reasons why Kara and the DEO should really fear him.

It’s going to be tricky for this series creatively to do an episode mostly about a villain, especially so early in the season when so few people even know him; yet, this is the sort of risk that could elevate Supergirl as a whole.

In discussing this story further via Entertainment Weekly, here is some of what Witwer had to say about it:

The episode is largely him. They kind of do Supergirl, but from the perspective of this character Ben Lockwood, who will later become Agent Liberty. The episode is kind of a retelling of previous notable events in previous seasons but we tell it through his perspective — what was happening to him professionally, what was happening to him personally, what was happening to his family — and really charts the course of taking a good man who believed very strongly in liberty for everyone, including aliens, down this path where life deals him a really bad hand over and over again. It takes you a point where he feels he should put on a mask and incite this Earth first movement.

In terms of the format, there is something quite interesting to seeing how he reacts to events from some past seasons. It allows you to see a different perspective, and it’s also a nice primer for those who have forgot about various things over time.
