The CW has released synopses for “Ready or Not” and “Who Am I?”, the twelfth and thirteenth episodes of Naomi‘s debut season. The episodes are expected to serve as a two-part season finale for the series, which has been chronicling the origin of Naomi McDuffie (Kaci Walfall) as a teenage superhero who is exploring her origin in the town of Port Oswego. As the synopses tease, Naomi will be met with visions of her origin story on Earth-29, and that will further complicate her journey as a character — and her relationship with her friends, family, and other allies. You can check out the synopses below.

“SEASON FINALE (Part 2) – In the second hour of an epic two-part season finale, Naomi (Kaci Walfall) must make a decision to protect those she loves most, but in the end, Naomi needs those closest to her to battle a powerful being that has been hunting her since birth.And while everyone has an opinion about what Naomi’s future should be, her greatest power will manifest only when she stops believing everything she once thought to be true…and chooses her own destiny.Also starring Cranston Johnson, Alexander Wraith, Mary-Charles Jones, Barry Watson, Mouzam Makkar, Camila Moreno, Will Meyers, Aidan Gemme and Daniel Puig.DeMane Davis directed the episode written by Ava DuVernay and Jill Blankenship.”
“It is a different universe,” Walfall told reporters during a virtual roundtable prior to the show’s debut. “She can’t necessarily call on The Flash. She can’t necessarily call on Supergirl. I also think that that allows for her to grow more, and it allows for her to learn for herself. But in her universe, she has people like Dee, and Dee can teach her. He doesn’t have all the answers, but he can teach her more about her hero life. She’s navigating it throughout the series. I also think the show is different, because it’s a different narrative that’s told. It’s a different story that’s told. The show’s kind of lighter, but it’s also much darker, and much more personal. Sometimes if, let’s say everyone got powers — would it be such a positive thing or would we feel an immense amount of pressure?”
Naomi airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on The CW. “Ready or Not” and “Who Am I?” will air on May 10th.
