6. Supergirl Season 5, Episode 16: Alex in Wonderland

Up until this point, Supergirl was continuing to feature Alex Danvers as her own woman, but Alex in Wonderland took us on a deep dive. While the search for the infamous Lex Luthor intensified, Alex had a mission of her own. Alex was indeed a boss and we got to follow her growing agency and independence as a character.

The episode used a dream-like sequence to take a deep dive into Alex’s subconscious and confront her fears and desires. On the flip side, we got to see and understand the struggles she faced throughout the series. There was a ton of introspection but we also got to see Alex kick nutt. It was amazing to see her get an episode that focused on her given everything she’d been through.

From the very beginning of the series, Alex made it easy to love her. She was resilient tough as nails but layered emotionally. But “Alex in Wonderland” showed us a side of her we had never witnessed before.

In a world where everything seemed bizarre, Alex found herself with her back against the wall, with no real help. She shined and showed her evolution as a hero in her own right in one of the series’ best episodes.
