Truth or Consequences (2021)

Katie McGrath: Lena Luthor

Quotes 

• Lena Luthor : [at Kelly and Alex's bachelorette party]  Okay, well, I'm gonna go dance. Because what's the point in saving the world if you don't get to enjoy it sometimes?

• Brainiac-5 : Lex's obsequious devotion to Nxyly, his selfless behavior sacrificing the Love totem, all confirm what I just learned in my call with the 31st century.

  Dreamer : You called the future?

  Brainiac-5 : So, in the future, Lex and Nxyly are quite the power couple.

  Lena Luthor : It's hard to imagine Lex loving anyone as much as he loves himself.

  Brainiac-5 : Be that as it may, after obtaining all seven totems, Lex and Nxyly completed the AllStone and anointed themselves King and Queen of the universe. But for reasons still unknown, the AllStone began to fail. The Legion saw this as their chance to attack... and Nxyly died.

  J'onn J'onnz : That must be why Lex is so desperate to help her get all the totems in this time.

  Dreamer : But the Hope and Love totems have been destroyed. There's no way to complete the AllStone without them.

  Supergirl : Still, if he's in love, there's no telling what he'll do for Nxyly.

  Lena Luthor : [her computer chimes]  It worked. We tracked the LexoSuits and Naxim's ship to the waterfront.

• Lena Luthor : Andrea, hi. I'm a little busy right now.

  Andrea Rojas : Do you think I'm a callous, narcissistic monster?

  Lena Luthor : Does this have anything to do with CatCo publishing my brother's journals?

  Andrea Rojas : You're one of my oldest friends. Tell me the truth. Did I cross an ethical line?

  Lena Luthor : Stealing my brother's journals and publishing them under William's byline isn't your finest hour.

  Andrea Rojas : So I am a monster.

  Lena Luthor : No, I didn't say that. Look, I am all for taking my brother down, but you have to be careful that you don't fall back into bad behaviors. We know you can act with a certain... single-mindedness, but you can't betray someone like William just to promote yourself.

  Andrea Rojas : That's not why I did it.

  Lena Luthor : Then why did you do it? When we feel like our back is against the wall, we can go into survival mode and damn the consequences. But only you can be the judge of whether that's who you wanna be. And if it's not, then... change it.

• Supergirl : Still no results from Esme's blood test?

  Alex Danvers : No. I'm gonna cancel the party tonight.

  Supergirl : Alex, no. Are you sure you wanna cancel the party?

  Alex Danvers : Yes, I'm sure.

  Kelly Olsen : [coming in]  We may not need Esme's blood test after all. I just got off the phone with her school again. There's a new alien in her class, a Tattamite.

  Supergirl : I've read about them. They have powerful tempers and can manifest distinctive skin markings, which they use as camouflage.

  Alex Danvers : Skin markings? Esme might have mimicked this student, which caused the rose tattoo on her neck.

  Kelly Olsen : And that would account for her erratic powers and her anger.

  Alex Danvers : [sighing in relief]  Thank God.

  Supergirl : So this means you guys don't have to cancel the party, and Esme doesn't have to miss the baking competition.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, but, I mean, are we gonna get there in time?

  Kelly Olsen : If we leave now.

  [as they leave, Kara wants to apologize, but doesn't know what to say] 

  Lena Luthor : [on comms]  Hey, Kara, we just got a hit off Naxim's ship. Good thing your Kryptosuit's good for outer space.

• J'onn J'onnz : Lex is building a LexoSuit army?

  William Dey : Apparently, it's a gift to help ingratiate himself with Nxyly and help defeat you guys and get the totems.

  Supergirl : And Otis told you this in an alley?

  William Dey : I convinced him to meet by offering to keep whatever he said on deep background, but he wanted to go on the record. I got the impression that his bromance with Lex is rocky.

  Dreamer : What if Otis spilling the tea is just another one of Lex's tricks?

  Lena Luthor : Then we just use that to our advantage. I can create a data interception program to track Lex through the LexoSuits. We'll know where he is soon.

  Alex Danvers : That's great, Lena.

  Lena Luthor : And listen, I know the timing's not ideal, but I got a call from my friend at Club Rialto, and she said that her VIP suite is available for your bachelorette party if you want it.

  J'onn J'onnz : [Kara gaps excitedly]  Nice.

  Lena Luthor : Tonight.

  Alex Danvers : Tonight? Uh, I...

  Supergirl : Alex! Life is unpredictable. The world is unpredictable. There will always be a threat. You have to seize the joy when you can. Come on. I can keep everyone safe.

  J'onn J'onnz , William Dey , Dreamer : [chanting]  Do it! Do it! Do it!

  Alex Danvers : Oh, my god. Oh, my god, stop. Okay, okay, okay. Let's do it. Let's do it.

• Martian Manhunter : Dreamer, can you close the dream portal?

  Dreamer : I'm trying!

  Brainiac-5 : [removing the totem from Nxyly's gauntlet]  I got the Dream totem.

  Nxylgsptinz : No!

  [sucked through the portal, the Super Friends enter the Dream Expanse, and Nia manages to portal them back to the Tower] 

  Supergirl : Fast thinking, Dreamer.

  Lena Luthor : Naxim's ship, it's gone.

  Martian Manhunter : [Brainy shows her the totem]  But we have this.

• Lena Luthor : [William gets an alert on his phone]  Everything okay, William?

  William Dey : Turn on channel 2.

  Dana : [he turns the TV on]  Y'all are not gonna believe these love poems from billionaire Lex Luthor.

  Derek : "I will make oceans burn. The skies above turn black. We shall rule together, my love, cruel deaths to any who attack." It seems CatCo reporter William Dey has leaked Lex's private journal.

  Dana : How'd he get his hands on it?

  William Dey : [mortified]  I need to go.

  Derek : Who knows? But in it, the Man of Tomorrow professes his love for Nxyly, the Fifth-Dimensional imp...

  Mitch : [watching on his ship]  Hey, they're talking about you.

• William Dey : What's your takeaway from today's encounter with Nxyly and Lex?

  J'onn J'onnz : I'd say it's a huge win. They no longer have a ship, no LexoSuit army, and no totems.

  Supergirl : [flying in]  And we also have five totems secured at the Fortress of Solitude, but don't print that.

  Alex Danvers : [coming in with Kelly, Esme, and Lena]  Great job, guys. Lena just filled us in.

  Kelly Olsen : And more importantly, please give a big round of applause to the new school baking champion.

  Supergirl : [Esme holds up her stuffed zebra with a blue ribbon on it]  Hurray!

  William Dey : [high-fiving]  Put her there.

  Lena Luthor : That's a perfect kickoff to the big party tonight.

  Kelly Olsen : About that, our sitter just called out sick with the stomach flu, so you'll only have Alex.

  William Dey : Oh, don't be ridiculous. I'll take care of Esme. She and I have a baker's bond, right?

  Alex Danvers : William, we wanted you at the party.

  William Dey : Please, I'm... I'm happy to help. See it as a part of a wedding gift.
