The CW has released the synopsis for “Hope for Tomorrow,” the fifteenth episode of Supergirl’s sixth and final season. This week, Nyxly (Pet Sergeant) got her hands on the Humanity Totem, but ended up letting it go when she was overwhelmed with feelings after activating it. Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and the Super Friends were able to retrieve it and lock it away, but Nyxly already has her sights set on the next target and it isn’t just a totem. In the preview, Nyxly attacks CatCo, causing Supergirl to reconsider her role as National City’s protector. Per the synopsis, Nyxly kidnaps William (Staz Nair) which prompts Supergirl to realize that she may need to be a bit more proactive in protecting National City. It’s a revelation that, in a sense, has been coming for a few episodes. We’ve recently seen the series take on issues of inequality in National City as well with Kelly (Azie Tesfai) becoming Guardian to help fight for the disadvantaged and “Hope for Tomorrow” may see that fight become more personal. One of the alien children Kelly has been working with as a social worker was in need of a new foster family at the end of this week’s episode, and it certainly looked like she and Alex (Chyler Leigh) may be stepping in to help.
