Bad news, 'Supergirl' fans. The CW show will not be airing this Sunday, as it's Super Bowl Sunday. It also won't be airing next week. The show will resume on February 16. Nevertheless, here's what we do know what's going to happen in the next episode.

When the show returns, it will resume the 'Back To The Future' storyline, where we saw everyone's favorite Winn Schott returning for a while from the future with his travels with the Legion.

In the first part, Brainy and Lex work together to stop Leviathan and Lena begins her research with the help of Q-Waves stolen from Winn's ship. Kara decides to investigate Lex.

In the second episode, Brainy will be torn between working for Lex or Alex. He must decide whether he wants to continue helping her, as she finds some solid evidence against Lex.

Meanwhile, there will be more light shed on the Winn Scott arc. The synopsis reads, "Brainy must choose between Alex and Lex. Jeremy Jordan guest stars – Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) helps Winn (guest star Jeremy Jordan) face his greatest fear."

"After Alex (Chyler Leigh) sets out to find evidence against Lex (guest star Jon Cryer), Brainy (Jesse Rath) must decide between helping his friend or continuing to secretly work for Lex," the synopsis adds.



 

The promo shows that Kara's romantic life just might take off. William asks her on a date and she accepts. She begins to wonder whether she actually has time for such things, as she's Supergirl.

Well, Kara does need some time off, considering she has just saved the world from the multiversal Crisis, which has made a lot of drastic changes, including Lex Luthor becoming a hero of sorts on the Earth she lives on. 

Episode 12 was directed by Alexis Ostrander, and it was written by Rob Wright and J Holtham.
