"The Darkest Place" is the seventh episode of the second season from The CW television series Supergirl, which aired on November 21, 2016.
In a mysterious building, Supergirl battles J'onn, who tells Kara it's time for her to die. Twenty-four hours previously, Kara, James, Alex and Winn are discussing the Guardian; Alex suspects he has help and Kara distrusts him, believing vigilantes are nuts, referring to her cousin having run-ins with one. Maggie asks Alex if things are okay between them, and Alex assures her everything is fine. At Cadmus, Mon-El is held captive until he breaks out after overpowering a guard. Lillian shows up with J'onn in tow, threatening to kill him if Mon-El leaves; Mon-El agrees to stay.
At the DEO, J'onn is thrilled to see M'gann, who brings a Martian brew to help him recover; he begins to hallucinate, but plays it off as if nothing is happening. J'onn later admits to hallucinating and feeling guilty because he isn't alone anymore to Kara. Guardian stops a burglar by stringing him up on a street light but moments after they drive away, a second vigilante kills the burglar. James is stunned to find out Guardian is wanted for murder; Snapper claims he has a bias for superheroes. Winn attempts to convince James to stop, but James plans to lure the other vigilante out. The other vigilante, named Barrage, shows up to kill a drug dealer when Guardian confronts him; both vigilantes claim they want to keep National City safe, before Barrage escapes and Guardian is confronted by police. Supergirl flies towards the location when she is interrupted by Cadmus, who convince her to find Mon-El instead. At Cadmus, Kara is confronted by J'onn, only to discover it is actually Hank Henshaw, who survived the accident. Supergirl and Hank battle, and he is revealed as Cyborg Superman, thanks to Cadmus saving his life by replacing his damaged body with technology; he suddenly overpowers her.
At the DEO, Alex asks Winn about Kara's whereabouts. After he makes a comment about Guardian, Alex catches onto Winn's secret and threatens to tell Kara, but Winn convinces her to let James clear his own name. With Guardian a fugitive, Maggie is after him, but Alex suggests she lay off him, refuses to give Maggie anymore details. At Cadmus, Supergirl wakes up in a cage next to Mon-El, bars made of Nth metal so she can't escape. She then comes face to face with Lillian, who has taken up the mantle of her son, Lex, and wants to humanize Supergirl by acquiring her heat vision. Lillian shows her a helmet and threatens to harm Mon-El if she doesn't comply. After Mon-El's leg is shot, Supergirl agrees and drains her powers before a blood sample is taken. Kara admits to Mon-El that she was afraid, when Jeremiah shows up to release them; he chooses to stay behind to ensure they get to safety.
