Supergirl’s Melissa Benoist: Season 4 Opts for Empowerment Over Romance
Supergirl‘s fourth season, which continues Sunday (The CW, 8/7c), reinforces the idea that “you can find empowerment in many different avenues of life,” star Melissa Benoist tells TVLine, confirming that there’s “not much” romance coming up for the Girl of Steel.
“It’s not that I don’t think there should be any,” she explains, “but I like seeing a woman fending for herself and not thinking about [romance]. If it falls into her lap, great.”
One relationship you can look forward to developing, however, is between Kara and Nia, the new cub reporter she’s mentoring at CatCo Worldwide Media. Though there’s still “some ice to break” between them, Benoist says that pairing will “pay off in really amazing ways.”
That said, it may take a while for Kara to suspect that there’s more to her new mentee than meets the eye. (Specifically, that she’ll eventually suit up as superhero Dreamer.) “What she sees initially is a really smart, capable, intelligent woman with great ideas,” Benoist says. “She just wants to harbor that and help it grow the way Cat Grant did for her.”
And then there’s the “other” Kara, first introduced at the end of the show’s third season finale. Referring to her as “Red Daughter,” Benoist says, “I haven’t really gotten to know her yet fully,” but confirms, “I have spoken some Russian” in the role.
J’onn takes his time figuring out what he wants to do. He has the time and he wants to do it right, do right by his father’s memory, but he hasn’t really ‘done nothing’ before so he volunteers. A soup kitchen on Mondays, the library on Tuesdays, a hospital on Wednesdays. He meets people and listens to their stories and shares [some of] his own and puts in the time and he finds it relaxes him, both the volunteering and the talking.
And one Saturday he’s out with Alex and Kara, getting brunch and catching up (like he wasn’t just at Kara’s apartment for Game Night two days ago), and one of the people he volunteers with – a lady from the soup kitchen or the library or something – notices him and says hello. J’onn calls her over and shakes her hand and introduces Alex and Kara.
“Oh! The girls!” The woman smiles. “Your father talks about you all the time!”
And Kara blushes and Alex swallows thickly and J’onn scratches the back of his neck.
But no one corrects her.
