Alex Danvers (Chyler Leigh) got an episode to herself after what seems like ages. Along with her girlfriend Kelly (Azie Tesfai) and J'onn J'onzz (David Harewood), Alex has to rescue a man stuck in a virtual reality escape room.

The episode ends on a rather eerie note: Alex discovers that her father Jeremiah is dead and it seems as if the creepy Leviathan lady has his body. 

The next episode seems to be another Alex-centric one, and fans are all up for seeing "Super Alex". The official synopsis reads, "Alex uses a pair of obsidian contact lenses to visit a virtual National City where she takes on a whole new persona; Kelly helps William investigate Lex; Kara deals with difficult news."

One excited fan wrote, "YEAHHHHHHHH SUPER ALEX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! next episode woooooo @chy_leigh I CAN'T WAITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT :D #Supergirl."

"Ooo yeah Super Alex next week is gonna be fun," tweeted another fan.

A fan wrote, "Alex about to get stuck in the VR sim on repeat, huh? As superalex?"

Apparently, in this new virtual reality, Alex is also a mother. "SUPER ALEX, ALEX AS A MOM, ALEX IF SHE NEVER WENT TO THE DEO. WHY COULDNT THEY GIVE US THAT," wrote a fan.

"Super Alex is coming!" tweeted a fan.



 

An emotional fan wrote, "I'm gonna cry... Finally the show making justice to one of the leads. The Danvers Sisters r the core, the heart and soul of the show. Finally we get our #SuperAlex."

Back in January, Leigh had shared a photo of herself wearing a super-suit. She captioned the photo, "If Alex could fly too..." In the photo, Alex is sporting bangs ('Grey's Anatomy' fans might find this hairstyle familiar) and is wearing a suit that is black and blue in color.

What does the next episode bring? Let's see next Sunday on 'Supergirl' on The CW at 9 pm.
