A magical imp called Mr. Mxyzptlk arrives on Earth and wreaks havoc on National City when Kara doesn't reciprocate his feelings.
This was a really great episode that I was so excited to see what they were going to do and it was just so good. Mxyzptlk is one of the few Superman characters that I'm familiar with and I really wanted to know what they would do with him because you can't really kill him or trap him because of all his powers. It was a little sad that they had Mxyzptlk and all his powers that make him basically a god but they didn't show him all that much. I also found it a little weird how Mon-El had all this back history about fourth-dimensional beings and he didn't care to share any of it with Kara unless it slipped out accidently, instead he went and tried to solve it all on his own. Like he could have given Kara some help on her trail of trying to solve the Mxyzptlk problem in a non-lethal way. And all the fight scenes between Mon-El and Mxyzptlk were really fun and done well for the style that they were trying to show with Mxyzptlk running most of the show. It did get a little overdone with how many times it was brought up that it was valentines day. The moments between Maggie and Alex were really interesting with them finally revealing a bit more about Maggie's past, and I did like that they had a bit of the lesson in there that you need to work for each other wants in a relationship and not just think about yourself. Then the ending of how Kara eventually tricked Mxyzptlk was really fun with her using all the different things that Mxyzptlk can't stop Kara from doing and using those against him to create one final main trick on him. And just overall this was a really great and fun episode and I can't wait to see what the next one will bring.
