Not enough context (ZCE), trope was cut/disambiguated due to cleanup


* JustForPun: When Myxflix starts giving them [[TakeThat buffering trouble]], Mxy switches over to [[{{UsefulNotes/VCR}} BetaMyx]] tapes.



** When Myxflix starts [[TakeThat buffering endlessly]], Mxy switches to [[JustForPun Betamyx]] tapes, which are all titled in the vein of ''Series/{{Friends}}'' episodes' IdiosyncraticEpisodeNaming. This counts double, since Team Supergirl often refer to themselves as WesternAnimation/{{Superfriends}}.

Supercorp has always been fan conjecture and shouldn't really be a trope example


* ShipSinking: The ending of this episode seems to indicate a point of no return for Lena and Kara and any chance of the Supercorp ship ever happening (not that it was ever going to happen in the first place).

* BrainwashedAndCrazy: In the fourth timeline, Lena rewired Brainy to be her loyal enforcer.
* BroughtDownToNormal: In the final hypothetical timeline, Mxy loses his powers and has to find a source of 5th dimensional energy elsewhere, in the form of the Hat's bowler.
* TheBusCameBack: Chris Wood (Mon-El), Creator/OdetteAnnable (Sam/Reign) and Creator/SamWitwer (Ben Lockwood/Agent Liberty) all return. Also, Mr. Mxyzptlk, though he's portrayed by a different actor this time. Jeremy Jordan (Winn) appears at the DEO in the darkest timeline. Robert Baker cameos as Otis Graves and Chad Lowe also returns as Thomas Coville.

* ButterflyOfDoom:
** No matter when Kara tells Lena her secret, the changes end up making things worse. In the first timeline, Kara dies; in the second, Lena, Mon-El, and Sam all die; in the third, all of Kara's loved ones are killed; and in the fourth, never meeting Kara leads to Lena becoming a fascist dictator.
** In most of the potential reveals Lena still takes the truth about Kara badly although she eventually ends up coming around without turning against her. The only exception is if Kara had told her at the very beginning of their friendship as Lena is happy Kara trusts her when they barely know each other.



FakeBetterAlternateTimeline: This episode has Kara, with the help of Mr. Mxyzptlk, go over various possible alternate timelines of her past related to her friendship with Lena Luthor, which by now has turned to Lena seeing her as the enemy after learning that she had been hiding her secret identity from her. In one such timeline, Kara tries revealing it to her when they first meet. At first, this one seems downright utopic, with the two of them working closely together and stopping several threats. Unfortunately, [[spoiler:Lena ends up kidnapped by this timeline's version of Agent Liberty, who blackmails Kara into revealing her identity to the public and proceeds to lead his organization in killing all of Kara's friends and loved ones]].
