"Better Angels" is the twentieth episode and the season finale of the first season of the CBS television series Supergirl, which aired on April 18, 2016. It is also the last new episode of Supergirl that aired on CBS as the show moved to the The CW for its second season. The episode's teleplay was written by Yahlin Chang and Caitlin Parrish, and directed by Larry Teng.
Under Non's mind control, Alex fights Kara armed with a Kryptonite sword, but Kara refuses to fight back. J'onn prevents Alex from killing Kara and Eliza pleads with Alex to fight Myriad. Alex's mind is freed and after apologizing, they return to the broadcast center. Supergirl addresses the city to explain the importance of strength and hope. The plan works as the citizens of National City are freed of Myriad and Non is furious. Indigo suggests they kill the humans before conquering other worlds.
At CatCo the next day, James and Winn both apologize to Kara and she hugs them. Over at the DEO, Sam hugs an upset Lucy. He can't figure out the status of Superman and orders for J'onn's arrest, over Lucy’s objections. In her lab, Alex tells Eliza that Jeremiah is alive and Cadmus' prisoner. Maxwell informs them that Myriad is now designed to kill everyone by amplifying their brain cells, resulting in severe headaches; they only have four hours before it becomes fatal. Maxwell tells Supergirl that another fight would be a suicide mission, given she has no backup. She makes Maxwell promise not to tell Alex. Kara gives Winn a pep talk and pours her heart out to Cat. She and James discuss their kiss, with Kara telling James that they missed their chance and that she wants him to find happiness with someone who appreciates him. J'onn encourages Kara to not give up. Kara promises to save the Earth, but doesn't know if she will make it out alive. She didn't get the opportunity to say what she needed before the end of Krypton; that is why she is doing it now.
Maxwell pinpoints Fort Rozz's location to Nevada. Over Sam's objections, J'onn decides to join her. Kara and J'onn arrive to Fort Rozz just as Non and Indigo are preparing to depart Earth, leaving the citizens of National City in a headache that would be fatal in six minutes. Indigo and J'onn battle as Kara takes on her uncle; Indigo is about to kill him, when J'onn lifts her over his head and rips her apart. Supergirl and Non match each other's heat visions, and Non collapses from the strain, now permanently blind. A damaged Indigo tells them they won't be able to get Fort Rozz airborne as the Myriad signal is on its own, before deactivating. With four minutes left, Kara informs the DEO that she will fly the ship into space herself, against Alex's wishes. Kara lifts the ship out of Earth's orbit before hurling it away, and then loses consciousness, only to be rescued by Alex in her space pod.
