The Lena-Kara friendship has been one heck of a seesaw in 'Supergirl' Season 5. While the hope of them braiding each other's hair seems like a distant dream, we really thought for a moment that they would finally be civil to each other.

In the latest episode titled 'Dex Lex Machina', Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) goes to Kara's office to offer condolences about Jeremiah's death. There is a heartwarming moment between the two former close friends, and we are led to believe that they might just resolve their differences in time.

Of course, the joke's on us, because by the end of the episode they're back to fighting again.

While some fans are sick of the endless drama between the two, others were thankful for the emotional moment and needless to say Supercorp (Lena-Kara shippers) fans were screaming from the rooftops that they were endgame.

A fan tweeted, "LENA WENT BY HERSELF!!! SHE WENT TO COMFORT KARA BY HERSELF! IT WAS NOTHING ABOUT LEX OR MANIPULATION. SUPERCORP ENDGAME!" 

"THE FACT THAT LENA FOLLOWED KARA AND WILLIAM DIDNT??? SUPERCORP ENDGAME," tweeted a fan, noticing that Kara's actual boyfriend William Dey (Staz Nair) didn't follow Kara into office, and Lena actually did.

"Lena going after kara while William didn't even notice that kara was upset," another fan pointed out the same thing. "AFTER 5 MONTHS OF NOT TALKING AS KARA AND LENA THAT IS A BEAUTIFUL RECONNECTION!! IM ALWAYS HERE FOR SUPERCORP SCENES!!" wrote another fan.

"I want Kara and Lena to get trapped somewhere together. Maybe after Lena figures out Lex has been manipulating everything. I want them to have to sit in silence before they gradually talk all this crap out while waiting to be rescued. Give me a whole episode of that," a fan wrote.

"Kara and Lena have two strong personalities. They have so many feelings inside of them and they don't know how to deal with them!" another fan noticed.

However, some fans gave a reality check and said that Supercorp was never going to happen. "They hate him because William’s a man and he’s a threat to the Supercorp Fandom delusions of thinking Kara and Lena are getting together which will never happen. #Supergirl," a fan wrote.

Well, Supercorp might never happen, but a reconciliation between Lena and Kara is definitely on the cards...or so we hope.
