History Recap / Supergirl2015S3E7WakeUp

* {{Disownment}}: Patricia threw Samantha out of her home after Samantha got pregnant as a teenager.

* RealityEnsues: He loves Kara, yes, but after the chance of ever seeing her again was nigh but impossible, in the seven years for him since he left, Mon-El had to move on, instead of pining away for her the rest of his existence.

* FishOutOfWater: M'yrnn has problems adjusting to life on Earth, even asking Wynn for permission to go to the bathroom. After more than ''3 weeks''!

* CastingGag: Betty Buckley essentially plays a combination of the two characters she's played in adaptations of ''Literature/{{Carrie}}'': Ms. Collins in the 1976 film (supportive to someone who's just discovered they have superpowers) and Margaret White in the 1988 musical (a parent strict enough to kick her daughter out for a teenage pregnancy).

** J'onn is [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague once again]] MarriedToTheJob to the point he's become distant from the planet he's suppose to be defending, and gets called out on it.
* NobodyPoops: Averted here, but just barely. Apparently Martians are capable of going for ''over three weeks'' without needing to relieve themselves!

* ForcedIntoEvil: Sam literally has no choice but to become Reign when she activates her Sanctuary.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Kara wished for all her heart for Mon-El to return... now he is back and has found a new woman he loves.
* BizarreAlienBiology: Martians can go at least three weeks without needing to expel bodily waste.

* {{Disownment}}: Patricia threw Samantha out of her home after she became pregnant at a young age.
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: The Occultist views [[ChildrenAreInnocent Ruby]] as an obstacle to Reign's ascension, unable to understand why Sam takes offense at this statement towards her daughter.

* {{Foil}}: Sam in so many ways to Clark and Kara. They were raised with love and affection, Sam was "designed". Clark and Kara had loving foster families on Earth; Sam was kicked out by her adoptive mother for getting pregnant. Clark and Kara became heroes of their own freewill (though the values of their adoptive families helped); Sam was destined to be villain, but she ''wants'' to be a hero.

* GoneHorriblyRight: Sam discovers her destiny and finds her Fortress of Sanctuary, then immediately regrets it when she is forcibly awakened as Reign.

* InternalReveal: Sam learns she is kryptonian.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Mon-El could have just told Kara and the DEO that lives are at stake instead of going rogue and injuring agents. He's willing to tell Winn, which indicates he wasn't looking forward to introducing Kara to his wife.

** Sam is basically a genetic experiment. Having Ruby delayed her powers developing, hence why she is only gaining them now instead of when she was younger like normal Kryptonians.

* TrueCompanions: Winn despite being slightly angry with him, still trusts Mon-El when he mentions lives are in danger.

* WhamEpisode: Sam learns of her Kryptonian origins and awakens as the world killer, Reign. Mon-El returns, after jumping back and forth in time, with a new wife in tow.

* EvilCounterpart: Reign's Fortress of Sanctuary seems like a twisted version of Superman's Fortress of Solitude. Both are products of Kryptonian {{Bizarrchitecture}} engineering, but Superman's is located in the Arctic and is made of ice, while Reign's is located in a desert and is made of rock.

* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Kara wished for all her heart for Mon-El to return...now he is back and has found a new woman he loves.

* {{Foil}}: Sam in so many ways to Clark and Kara. They were raised with love and affection, Sam was "designed".

--->'''Mon-El:''' Kara this is Imra Ardeen, ''my wife''!

* DishingOutDirt: One of Reign's powers include powerful earthbending.

* HisHeartWillGoOn: Understandibly, after 7 years away from her Mon-El moved on and found new love.
* {{Intangibility}}: J'onn proposes to use his Martian power to phase both Supergirl and Winn together instead of having Supergirl wrecking public property by drilling underground.

* PoorCommunicationKills: Mon-El could have just told Kara and the DEO that lives are at stake instead of going rogue and injuring agents.

--->'''Kara''': How could you have changed so much? It's only been seven months?\\
'''Mon-El''': For me it's been ''seven years!!!''
