Questionable Ethics
At the Tower, William tells the Super Friends what he found out from Otis, which is troubling, but Lena has better news about a venue for Alex and Kelly’s bachelorette party. However, any cheer is disrupted by news that “William” leaked Lex Luthor’s personal diary entries – except it wasn’t William. He rushes off to CatCo and confronts Andrea, calling her out for her behavior.
On his Legion ship, Brainy gets a call that’s upsetting from the future. Nyxly and Lex are a power couple in the future and manage to create the all stone. The Super Friends manage to track the Lexosuits and find the villains on the ship and discover that they have the Hope Totem as well. They manage to swipe the Dream Totem and make it back to the Tower.
Back to the Future
Nyxly is upset with Lex now that she’s lost the Dream Totem, but she soon gets a lock on the next one. At Kelly and Alex’s, they clean up Esme after she had to deal with a bully and discover the floral mark on her back that wasn’t there before. On the ship, Brainy talks with another Brainy. Turns out he has orders to return to the 31st century to save the Big Brain. He has to merge with it. He’ll seek to exist when that happens and he doesn’t want that. He has a family now, he is in love now but there are no other outcomes. Brainy will have to go.
Parenting advice

Dreams and Truth
Nia uses the Dream Totem to help her try to find Nyxly but instead it clues her into Brainy’s predicament. He tells her that he has to go when their conflict with Nyxly ends and that if he doesn’t, it means the end of all his kind. Also, Nia can’t go with him. They are both heartbroken.
Lex tries to talk to Nyxly but she’s pretty upset. She decides to test Lex to ensure his intent. It turns out that Lex is genuine and Nyxly is pleased.
Andrea calls Lena to see if she thinks Lena crossed an ethical line. Lena reminds her of her tendencies and that she has the power to change who she really wants to be.
Baking and Totems
Supergirl and J’onn have no luck finding Nyxly and Lex’s ship. Supergirl opens up that she’s been avoiding the Tower because Alex is mad at her, and while he empathizes, he also suggests that she might try to clear the air before the party.
William finds Esme playing hide and seek and gives her a baked treat. They talk about baking and he gives her advice on her own dish. Supergirl goes to speak with Alex who is going to cancel the party since there’s nothing in her bloodwork. Kelly shows up with information about a new alien kid in her school that may explain the little girl’s behavior. The party is saved. They then get a hit on the ship and Supergirl and J’onn go to investigate, but Lex and Nyxly attack Supergirl. A fight ensues and Supergirl manages to rip a totem from Nyxly’s chest plate. The villains escape and Supergirl and J’onn escape in just the nick of time as well.
The Love Totem
