'Supergirl' Uncovers More Secrets About Reign in "Shelter From the Storm" Photos

05/07/2018 04:25 am EDT

The CW has released photos for "Shelter From the Storm," the upcoming May 14 episode of Supergirl.

The episode will see Reign (Odette Annable) take aim at Ruby (Emma Tremblay) in an attempt to weaken Sam's resistance to fully surrendering to Reign as Sam's love for her daughter is the reason Sam has resisted fully becoming Reign. Protecting Ruby appears to fall to Alex (Chyler Leigh), and something the show has introduced before with Alex babysitting for her earlier this season. Ruby finding out her mother is a Worldkiller and needing to be protected from her will no doubt be tense, but it's something that Annable is confident Tremblay will handle well.

"I was worried about [chemistry with my onscreen daughter] when I was first told about my arc, and where this was going. I wasn't able to chemistry test with anybody. I met her the first day on set," Annable told ComicBook.com during a recent interview. "It just really worked out in the best possible way because she just has this maturity about her, and this way about her. She's just so beyond her years, and she's such an incredible actress....And, I'll tell you what, she's also great at improv, and that's not easy when you are 13, and when you're thrown stuff at you. We just have so much fun on screen. We just go back and forth. That's what sort of makes these characters so great, because it feels very real."

The photos also reveal that, while protecting Ruby from Reign will be a focus, so is finding answers for how to deal with Reign. This will take Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and J'onn (David Harewood) to see Sam's mom (guest star Betty Buckley) for clues. While the photos don't give too much away, they do reveal that this isn't the first time Reign has surfaced. Just beneath the wallpaper of what is presumably Sam's childhood bedroom is a drawing of Reign's Worldkiller symbol.
