Thank goodness Kara is going to get some help. Lex has created a dark web of lies surrounding the Sons of Liberty and the attack on the White House. And did all of this while he was supposed to be in prison. He is truly a mastermind. If there’s one person who can match him, it’s Lena. She and Lillian shared some great scenes this week in which Lena declared that she would never be on the same side as her adopted mother and brother.
