In between Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) and Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) battling in the air over National City, the fourth season of The CW’s Supergirl dealt with the extremely heavy issue of immigration and the rise of the alt-right. Granted, it was through the metaphor of alien rights, but it was, in fact, pretty serious and often dark. In a deleted scene from the season’s twentieth episode, “Will The Real Miss Tessmacher Please Stand Up?” though, the team — and the aliens they are trying to protect — saw a happy ending, for once.

In the episode, which was based on a story by Derek Simon, with teleplay by Katie Rose Rogers and Natalie Abrams and directed by Shannon Kohli, Ben Lockwood (Sam Witwer) has risen to become the U.S. Secretary in charge of alien affairs. An unfortunate series of circumstances for this world’s aliens, as Lockwood is virulent anti-alien — and as we pick up in episode 20, his wife has just been murdered… By an alien. After taking over the DEO (Department of Extranormal Operations), Lockwood tracks down the perpetrator to an alien refugee camp, and rounds them all up.

Enter a super-powered James Olsen (Mehcad Brooks) and Dreamer (Nicole Maines), who attempt to free the aliens with the help of Brainy (Jesse Rath) and eventually Martian Manhunter (David Harewood). With the team together, they’re able to stop Lockwood and free the aliens. When last we see them, Martian Manhunter says, “Let’s get these aliens somewhere safe.” And then, uh, that’s it for the episode.

In the deleted scene, we get to see that they holed up in Martian Manhunter’s new office — though it wasn’t his idea.

“I hope we weren’t presumptuous using your office in this manner,” Brainy says to him, with the alien detective differing. The rest of the scene serves as sort of a recap, establishing that Martian Manhunter has been away for a while, but is back in the fight; James is keeping his powers for the moment; and they’re all ready to fight Lockwood at any cost.

“We’ve saved these aliens today, but there are a lot more out there who need our help,” J’onn J’onnz says. “I’m ready for this fight.”

Decider’s exclusive deleted scene will officially debut on the Supergirl: The Complete Fourth Season Blu-Ray and DVD set, which hits stores on September 17 (the full season is currently available on digital, minus the bonuses) from Warner Bros Home Entertainment. You can watch the rest of the scene, above.
