James finds a new way to be heroic.
Im honestly surprised by how much I enjoyed City of Lost Children.
The episodes disparate story lines ended up coming together in ways that made sense emotionally and fit the plot.

James offers to help, but Jonn shuts him down.
James heads to her home, but instead of finding her, he finds her son, Marcus.
(I was surprised by how endearing their scenes together were.
I suspect it was mainly because of the performances.)
Unfortunately, Lena Luthor and Rhea together unintentionally ruin James and Marcus day.
James tries to talk Marcus down, but he cant.
Thank god, Supergirl arrives in time and flies Marcus out of the building before he brings it down.
Marcus snaps out of his trance the moment Lena shuts down the machine.
James says that meeting Clark helped him drop his guard.
He ends up breaking through to Marcus, who tells him where his mother is hiding.
Meanwhile, Winns scan of the city reveals there was an atmospheric change that caused the Phorians episodes.
I cant stress enough how great Teri Hatcher is in this role.
Shes chewing scenery like its nobodys business, and I love it!
Across town, James, Winn, and Marcus find Marcus mother hiding in an abandoned factory.
The moment Rhea turns on the portal, ish hits the proverbial fan.
The collective strength of the Phorians powers threatens to bring down not only the building but the entire city.
It works, and the Phorians break out of their trance.
He broke through to Marcus using just his words.
Its Invasion 2.0, and Supergirl probably doesnt have time to jump to another Earth for reinforcements.
The title of tonights episode refers not only to Marcus, but pretty much half the cast.
