‘Supergirl’: Kara Gets Heartfelt Advice From Cat In New Season 3 Trailer

Cat gives Kara a heartfelt advice in a new trailer for Season 3 of “Supergirl.”

In the video teasing the first few episodes of the new season of the CW series, Cat (Calista Flockhart) is heard telling Kara (Melissa Benoist) that it’s totally okay to be vulnerable. “The thing that makes women strong is that we have the guts to be vulnerable,” Cat tells Kara. “We have the ability to feel the depths of our emotions and we know that we would walk through it to the other side. … You have accomplished great things. You are on a hero’s journey.”

As previously reported, Kara will be having trouble dealing with her human feelings following her heartbreaking separation from Mon-El (Chris Wood) at the end of last season. “In Season 3, she’s really struggling with how … she [should] compartmentalize being a superhero with those human feelings that are uncomfortable for her,” executive producer Robert Rovner said (via Hidden Remote) during a roundtable interview at the San Diego Comic-Con last July. “So she ends up throwing herself more into [life as Supergirl] which complicates a lot of Kara’s relationships.”

In the Season 3 trailer released at Comic-Con, Kara declares that being “Kara Danvers was a mistake” — a statement that Alex (Chyler Leigh) doesn’t agree with.

“Kara Danvers is my favorite person,” an emotional Alex tells her sister in the new trailer. “She saved me more times than Supergirl ever could Alex.”

Elsewhere in the new trailer, J’onn (David Harewood) is seen telling Kara that she’s the “strongest woman” he knows. The promo clip also teases the arrival of supervillain Psi (Yael Grobglas) as well as some shots of new characters Samantha/Reign (Odette Annable) and his daughter Ruby (Emma Tremblay). The video also includes some sort of a dream sequence featuring a reunion between Kara and Mon-El.

In the Season 2 finale, Kara and the DEO saved the Earth from the looming Daxamite invasion by dispensing low levels of lead into the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the move made the planet uninhabitable for all Daxamites including Mon-El. So before the lead could kill him, Mon-El was forced to jump in his pod and escape Earth, leaving Kara behind.

Wood was tight-lipped about Mon-El’s whereabouts, but the actor said (via Hidden Remote) that when viewers “do find out what actually happened to Mon-El, where he ends up going and what happens next, it’s going to be pretty satisfying.”

“I think it brings some really exciting new areas to the show; I think the fans will be really excited,” Wood added.

“Supergirl” Season 3 premieres on Monday, Oct. 9 at 8 p.m. EDT on The CW. Watch the new trailer below:
