Quotes 

• Kelly Olsen : Kara. I'm so sorry.

  Kara Danvers : Thanks, Kelly. I'm so glad Alex has you.

• William Dey : I heard about Kara and Alex's dad. I'm sorry for all of you.

  Kelly Olsen : Thanks.

  William Dey : Hey, shouldn't you guys be getting on the road for the funeral about now?

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah, we should. But things are complicated with her and her dad. So she says she doesn't wanna go to Midvale today.

  William Dey : That's rough.

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah, but there's still time. So I am giving her space and hoping she changes her mind. Which leaves me here with nothing to do but worry.

• Kelly Olsen : What's wrong?

  Alex Danvers : I think there's a lot more going on in the VR than we know about. 'Cause I don't think I was the only one that was lost in there. There was... there was a woman named, uh, Bonnie, and-and there was a guy, Derek. And... and I think they were stuck in there, too. And if there was three of us, then there could be a lot more.

  Kelly Olsen : Um... okay. I-I... I'm on it. Um, but first, we need to get you to Midvale. Okay?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah. Yeah, we do.

• Alex Danvers : I'm so sorry. I was such a jerk. And I pushed... J'onn and Kara and you away. You know, I've been so angry at my dad for so long, for abandoning Kara and I, for never reaching out, you know? But as... but as... as hurt as I've been, I just... I-I kept thinking that he would come back into our lives someday. And-And... and then, you know, I get the news about his death, and I just... I just got so mad at everyone. But the reality... is that I was just mad at myself. 'Cause I couldn't save him. And so I... I felt... I felt hopeless.

  Kelly Olsen : You are not hopeless. You are a warrior.

• William Dey : In the past three weeks, Lex Luthor has rushed 32 satellites through approval by the FAA and launched them into space. Each of their orbits placed them directly above a city that Lex himself is visiting on this Obsidian world tour.

  Kelly Olsen : So you're wondering what the satellites have to do with the Obsidian Platinum's launch.

  William Dey : Mmm.

  Kelly Olsen : Nothing, as far as I'm aware. Platinum operates off of booster towers. So, whatever Lex's business is with the satellites, it has nothing to do with us.

  William Dey : But you're still skeptical of him?

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah, I worry about what Lex is doing with our platform. And Alex is skeptical, too. So I'm keeping an eye out for anything that might prove that Lex isn't the hero that everyone thinks.

• Kelly Olsen : Since LuthorCorp came aboard, the only glitch involved a failsafe. And that was a fluke. A lone hacker, Richard Bates, exploited it for his own ends.

  William Dey : You don't think there's any chance this Richard was working with Lex? What would Alex say?

  Kelly Olsen : That with Lex, anything is possible.

• Kelly Olsen : That settles it. Uh, there's nothing that connects Lex to the failsafe hack or to the guy that did it.

  William Dey : But if that guy was able to hack that part of your system, who's to say Lex won't target it, too?

  [her phone chimes] 

  William Dey : What is it? Did Lex do something?

  Kelly Olsen : No, not something he did, something we should have done and didn't. The failsafe error I found, it wasn't patched after all.

  William Dey : You mean the back door's still open?

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah.

  William Dey : But that means that there's a chance other people could still be in there.

  Kelly Olsen : I need to find Andrea.

• Kelly Olsen : Look, I get it. You know I have had a lot of loss. I know how you feel.

  Alex Danvers : You have no idea... how I feel. I have mourned the loss of my father multiple times. You have no idea this stabbing pain here.

  [indicating her heart] 

  Alex Danvers : I'm losing him over and over and over again. And I really... I really can't tolerate being psychoanalyzed by my girlfriend right now.

  Kelly Olsen : I'm sorry.

  Alex Danvers : So rather than your apology, what I want is to be left alone.

  Kelly Olsen : Okay. I will give you space. But just know that I love you and I'm here for you unconditionally. And when you're ready, just call.

• Kelly Olsen : People grieve differently, and Alex is reeling. Okay, you guys go to Midvale, I'll talk to her. There's still time.

  J'onn J'onzz : Call me if you need any help.

• Kelly Olsen : Andrea said that the failsafe patch wasn't addressed because of bureaucracy with the board.

  William Dey : But...

  Kelly Olsen : Ever since LuthorCorp partnered with us, the board has a new member: Lex.

  William Dey : So maybe he was behind it. I mean, he could have pressured other board members to ignore the glitch so he could exploit it for his own ends. Maybe trap people inside the VR and lock in subscribers.

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah, but we don't have any facts to back that up.

  William Dey : Well, there has to be something we can do.

  Kelly Olsen : This is a list of almost 500 users who have been using our VR non-stop for 48 hours or more. No one's called about them, but...

  William Dey : They could still be trapped.

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah. How do you feel about helping me make a few hundred phone calls?

• Andrea Rojas : Kelly, what's going on?

  Kelly Olsen : The failsafe glitch Richard Bates exploited, it hasn't been fixed.

  Andrea Rojas : What?

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah, I thought maybe it was a slip-up with the records, but I checked. The order for the patch was put in, but the work funds haven't been released.

  [giving her a report] 

  Kelly Olsen : Look... we have to do something about this right now.

  Andrea Rojas : Kelly, I understand your concern, but what happened last week was because of the hacker, not a flaw in our system. And since then, there have been no reports of anyone being affected, have there?

  Kelly Olsen : No.

  Andrea Rojas : This withholding of funds is just corporate beauracracy with the board. I'll handle it. But there's nothing to alarm our users about.

  Kelly Olsen : You don't think our users deserve a warning that the lenses might be problematic?

  Andrea Rojas : All that would do is make them worry about the platform, and then they wouldn't be able to use the platform to get over their worries. And when it comes to veterans and sufferers of mental trauma, do we really wanna stop giving them what they need? I would never let our consumers engage in anything that would put them in jeopardy. Still, I'll call into Gemma and get the funds released and that glitch fixed.

• Kelly Olsen : Alex.

  Supergirl : Kelly. Are you all right?

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah, I'm fine. I just... I didn't know if you had tried to get out, but your failsafe isn't working.

  Supergirl : What?

  Kelly Olsen : The glitch that Richard Bates hacked, it wasn't fixed. Um, and I think you might have been affected. I can't eject you, so I need you to wake yourself up and end your simulation, and then I'll tell you everything.

  Supergirl : End... end my simulation? I...

  Kelly Olsen : You need to exit your virtual reality. I can't do it for you. You have to do it for yourself.

  Supergirl : Oh, my god. Psi must have gotten to her, too.

  Kelly Olsen : What? No.

  J'onn J'onzz : I'll make sure she gets to the medbay.

  Kelly Olsen : I-I don't need to go to the medbay. You have to end this. This isn't real. You know that.

  Querl Dox : [showing them his tablet]  A-ha! She was assaulted by Psi.

  Kelly Olsen : That never happened. Hey, Alex, can't you see that this virtual reality is just giving you what you want?

• William Dey : Wow. So that's 100 phone calls to 100 users, none who are trapped. Maybe I've taken us both down a conspiracy rabbit hole. There any word from Alex yet?

  Kelly Olsen : Uh, I texted, and, um, no response. Maybe she still needs space.

  William Dey : You know, sometimes people need a shoulder to cry on even if they won't admit it. You should go to her. I'll keep on this. Saw you looking at it, I'll keep on it. In fact, I have a contact at the NSA who might be able to help us speed things up. You go be with the woman you love.

• Alex Danvers : How do I know if I'm not in the VR still?

  Kelly Olsen : Because we had a fight this morning that was never resolved. Because your dad is gone for good, and you're sad. But it's gonna be okay.

  Alex Danvers : I know. Yeah, I-I know that now.

  [hugging, then letting go] 

  Alex Danvers : I love you. Thank you for not giving up on me.

  Kelly Olsen : I would never.

• Kelly Olsen : Hello? Alex?

  [seeing her on the couch] 

  Kelly Olsen : What's wrong with your lenses? You want to come out? Hey.

  [going to the bathroom and coming back with an EpiPen] 

  Kelly Olsen : Okay, babe. It's time to wake up.

  [seeing nothing happen, she puts in her own lenses] 

  Kelly Olsen : Don't worry. I'm coming in to get you.

• Andrea Rojas : Okay, slow down, Kelly. Are you sure that this is a failsafe malfunction?

  Kelly Olsen : I don't know. That is why I called you. Alex's lenses are practically red. And she's not responding to any of my methods of ejection. I tried adrenaline, but it was like she didn't even feel it.

  Andrea Rojas : Okay, what about going into the VR for direct contact?

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah, I tried that, too, and there was no sign of a failsafe button. She wouldn't even listen to me. Before she went in, she was grieving. I... I don't know, maybe because of her emotional state, she was more susceptible to our AI and had a mild psychotic break. I-I've seen this with some of my patients, but still, I'm still able to bring them out.

  Andrea Rojas : Okay, Kelly, look. We need to think this through.

  Kelly Olsen : It was like she was lost in there.

  Andrea Rojas : Then we need a way to shock her out. We need to show Alex that she is not in the real world by confronting her with something that's unexplainable, but also absolutely undeniable.

  Kelly Olsen : [spotting a framed picture of Alex and Kara as teenagers]  Something like Alex herself.
