Quotes 

• J'onn J'onnz : [at game night with Kara and Alex]  If I didn't know better, I'd say you guys were psychic.

  Kelly Olsen : Well, we are starting to finish each other's...

  Alex Danvers : Sandwiches.

  Kelly Olsen : Cute.

  J'onn J'onnz : Well, whatever it is, living together certainly suits you.

• Joey Davis : There's something wrong with my brother.

  Kelly Olsen : Why do you say that?

  Joey Davis : Last time I saw him, he had dark circles under his eyes. We get them if we use our powers a lot. We get sick if we use them too much.

  Kelly Olsen : You think your brother's using his powers in prison?

  Joey Davis : For his job. I don't know what you call it, be he gets to go out to do it.

  Kelly Olsen : He's in a work-release program.

  Joey Davis : He told me not to worry, but I can't help it. He took care of me after our mom and dad died. He only robbed that store to get money for a place for us to live. He says we'll be together again when he gets out. But what if his job makes him really sick? Wh... what if he dies?

  Kelly Olsen : I am gonna do all that I can to help you and Orlando. You know, a good friend of mine knows the warden at the prison. She might be able to help.

  Joey Davis : I don't wanna get him in trouble.

  Kelly Olsen : It's gonna be okay. I promise.

• Kelly Olsen : You know, when something's bothering me, talking about it always seems to help.

  [getting no response] 

  Kelly Olsen : It must be hard living here, with your brother Orlando away.

  Joey Davis : What do you know about him?

  Kelly Olsen : I know he's in prison. And by the look on your face, when I said his name, you must care about him an awful lot.

  Joey Davis : You don't know how I feel.

  Kelly Olsen : You could tell me.

  [getting no response again] 

  Kelly Olsen : I have a big brother, too. His name is Jimmy. And when we were kids, he would do all kinds of crazy things. Like... uh, he would climb up on a roof and jump off of it. One time, he took our dad's car for a ride. My brother is the bravest person I know, and I still worry about him. Because that's what you do for people you love.

• J'onn J'onnz : So, Kelly, how's the social work job going?

  Kelly Olsen : Oh, I love it. Uh, but it can be pretty intense. I actually have a new case tomorrow, with a ten-year-old alien orphan with EMP powers. His only family is a brother in prison.

  Kara Danvers : That is heartbreaking.

  Alex Danvers : Well, if anybody can help him, it's you, babe, 'cause empathy is your superpower.

  Kelly Olsen : Aw, that's really cute.

  Nia Nal : Okay, can you please be a little... just a little more adorkable?

  Alex Danvers : I don't think so.

• Kara Danvers : And... go.

  Kelly Olsen : Okay. She should be queen.

  Alex Danvers : Uh, Meghan Markle.

  Kelly Olsen : Yep. Um... Okay. Uh, pizza, moon, amore.

  Alex Danvers : Dean Martin.

  Kelly Olsen : Yes.

  Kara Danvers : Easy.

  Kelly Olsen : Um... typewriters?

  Alex Danvers : Tom Hanks?

  Kelly Olsen : Yes, babe! God, you're so good at this.

  Kara Danvers : What in the world?

  J'onn J'onnz : Cheating. This is cheating.

• Miss Hochschild : Oh, thank goodness you're here. I've just been at my wit's end with him.

  Kelly Olsen : I hear Joey's having behavioral issues. What's going on?

  Miss Hochschild : Well, he's picking fights. He's disobeying me and my staff, misusing his powers. Not only is it unsettling for the other children, but I'm just worried someone might get hurt. Did his file mention that two days ago, he knocked out power to the entire block? You know, Joey's not usually like this. He's usually such a sweet, kind boy.

  Kelly Olsen : I mean, can you think of anything that might be upsetting him?

  Miss Hochschild : I blame his brother Orlando.

  Kelly Olsen : In Van Krull Prison.

  Miss Hochschild : Yeah.

  Kelly Olsen : Joey gets monthly visitation with him?

  Kelly Olsen : Mm-hmm. This all started after Joey last saw him. I mean, if you ask me, he's bad news. I think it would be best if the State just stopped the visits.

• Kelly Olsen : You sure this gonna work?

  Kara Danvers : You do remember I'm Supergirl?

  Kelly Olsen : [approaching a prison guard]  Hi. Uh, Kara Danvers and Kelly Olsen to see Orlando Davis.

  Office Pohl : Okay.

  [Kara surreptitiously uses her heat vision on the guard's coffee mug, which spills out onto a report] 

  Office Pohl : Jeez. One moment.

  [as she leaves, Kara speeds around to the computer, then speeds back] 

  Office Pohl : [returning with a paper towel to clean up the mess]  Sorry. What was that name again?

  Kara Danvers : Uh, you know what? Actually, we made a mistake. Uh, thanks, but we're gonna come back another time.

  Office Pohl : Okay.

  Kelly Olsen : [leaving]  What's wrong?

  Kara Danvers : Orlando is already on his way to his job.

• J'onn J'onnz : According to the manifest, that truck was carrying over 5,000 pounds of ammonium nitrate.

  Supergirl : That much explosive could level a 50-story building.

  Alex Danvers : Well, we can use the residue that we found to track the Obscuran energy signature and, hopefully, the bombmakers.

  [Kelly enters] 

  Alex Danvers : Hey. Are you okay?

  Kelly Olsen : The alien orphan Joey that I was telling you about?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah.

  Kelly Olsen : I'm worried. The poor kid's been acting out because he believes his brother is overusing his EMP powers at his work-release program at the Van Kull Prison.

  Supergirl : You mean the Second Chances program? I did an article on that when it first started.

  Kelly Olsen : That's why I'm here. Joey says that if his brother Orlando uses his powers too much, he could die.

  Supergirl : When I interviewed the warden, the program seemed amazing. They contracted with a clothing manufacturer to give jobs to incarcerated workers. From what I saw, they were treated really well.

  Alex Danvers : So, if Orlando's making clothing, then why would he need to use his EMP powers? Is it because he's being forced to? Or maybe he's using them for some self-serving purpose?

  Kelly Olsen : Either way, something bad is happening to Orlando, and it's affecting Joey. I need to find out. Can you help me get in to talk to the warden?

  Supergirl : Yeah, of course. Can you guys handle the truck robberies?

  J'onn J'onnz : Sure. If we discover something, we'll call.

• Warden Wyatt Kote : The whereabouts of the five alien workers are unknown at this time, but we believe that while they were making their escape, they kidnapped Van Kull officer Larry Chapman.

  Supergirl : [watching on TV at the Tower]  That officer held them at gunpoint.

  Kelly Olsen : We need to find them.

  Alex Danvers : Well, it's obvious someone has infiltrated the prison program and is using Orlando and the other workers for their alien powers.

  J'onn J'onnz : Exactly. So, we have a Metalomite who can warp metal, a Toradine who creates force fields, an Obscuran who has cloaking abilities, and a Dynamorph who can unleash energy blasts.

  Supergirl : And Orlando is a Zeltarian who can produce EMPs.

  Kelly Olsen : I promised Joey I'd help, and all I did was put his brother in danger.

  Supergirl : They were threatened. I should have been able to save them.

  J'onn J'onnz : The only people to blame are those behind all this.

  Alex Danvers : Well, whoever they are, if they're dead set on getting their hands on a dirty bomb, then they're bound to target other sources of uranium.

  Supergirl : Well, we can't let that happen, or they'd have enough material to make 20 bombs.

  J'onn J'onnz : Contaminate the whole city. We can start by following all five alien energy signatures.

  Alex Danvers : Right now, there's no trace of 'em. I mean, they must be shielded somehow. I'll... I don't know, I'll look for ways around it.

  Supergirl : While you do that, I'm gonna head back to the prison. Warden Kote needs to know the truth.

• Kara Danvers : Hi, warden. Thank you so much for seeing us.

  Warden Wyatt Kote : Always a pleasure to see CatCo's star reporter and her friend. What can I do for you today?

  Kelly Olsen : Uh, we're here about the prison's Second Chances program.

  Warden Wyatt Kote : There's nothing I enjoy talking about more. We're literally changing lives. Thanks in no small part to you, Ms. Danvers. Since your article came out, donors and corporate sponsors have been beating down our door.

  Kelly Olsen : That's great. Most people just see prison as a place to punish people.

  Kara Danvers : They see the crime and not the person.

  Warden Wyatt Kote : Not us. We respect our workers. We teach them new skills, which helps them re-enter society as valuable and productive members.

  Kara Danvers : Which is why I was worried when I heard from Kelly. Uh, she has a young client who has a brother in the program. There might be a problem.

  Kelly Olsen : Yeah, he's worried his brother is being injured by overusing his EMP powers on the job.

  Kara Danvers : We don't know if he's a victim or an instigator.

  Warden Wyatt Kote : I can't imagine a scenario where either one of those is true.

  Kara Danvers : So there have been no incidents involving EMP powers?

  Warden Wyatt Kote : All aliens are continually monitored on the work site, and if anyone had used their powers, I would know about it. What's the worker's name?

  Kara Danvers : Orlando Davis.

  Warden Wyatt Kote : Well, I promise you, I'll check into it. And if there's anything to the boy's concerns, I'll take care of it.

  Kelly Olsen : Could we see Orlando? I would love to tell Joey that we did.

  Warden Wyatt Kote : I'm sorry. All visits need to be requested two weeks in advance. In your next article, you could shed some light on all the bureaucratic red tape around here.

• Kelly Olsen : Oh, there's Orlando. For someone having all of the opportunities the warden touted, he doesn't look very happy.

  Kara Danvers : No, he doesn't. Good thing I can fly.

• Kelly Olsen : I should have run Joey's concerns about Orlando through the proper channels. I only made things worse for everyone.

  Alex Danvers : It was because of you wanting to help Joey that we found out about Orlando and the others being exploited, which then led us to finding out about the bomb.

  Kelly Olsen : The system is stacked against them, and I don't know why I thought I could do anything about it.

  Alex Danvers : The Kelly Olsen that I know and that I love, she never gives up.

  Kelly Olsen : When we rescued Kara from the Phantom Zone, do you remember when you asked me if I was sure if I wanted to go?

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, I remember.

  Kelly Olsen : I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to help. So, my fear vision, I was attacked by Phantom versions of you and the others. Telling me that I would never... be able to compete with everyone's powers and intellect. That I was weak. Maybe it was right.

  Alex Danvers : I don't believe that.

  Kelly Olsen : You have to say that, you're my girlfriend.

  Alex Danvers : No, I don't. So... tell me how the fear vision ended.

  Kelly Olsen : I, um... I realized that even if I couldn't fight your Phantom selves, maybe I could protect you instead. So I found a piece of shrapnel. It reminded me of Jimmy's Guardian shield.

  Alex Danvers : Hmm.

  Kelly Olsen : And I used it to get between all of you and the prime Phantom. And, yeah, it worked. I brought you back.

  Alex Danvers : Well, of course you did. Because you are strong, and you are smart, and you are powerful. Hey, we all have doubts, but it's when you thought that you could protect me, you took a risk. And it's only when we take risks that we can really find out who we're meant to be. And Joey... is very lucky to have you in his corner, because you are a protector. And you'll always be there for him.

• Miss Hochschild : I don't know how that security video ended up in my supervisor's inbox. It's obviously a fake. I mean, somebody must have hacked my computer.

  Joey Davis : Is she really gone for good?

  Kelly Olsen : Yes. You all deserve to be protected by someone who cares about you. And I have one more surprise for you.

  Joey Davis : [turning around]  Orlando!

  Orlando Davis : [hugging him]  Come here.

  Joey Davis : What are you doing here?

  Orlando Davis : The judge pardoned me, said it was unfair what they did to me and the others. Which means I'm out. I'm never going back.

• Kelly Olsen : This community needs someone who is willing to fight for them, even when the system isn't listening.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah.

  Kelly Olsen : It's time to pick up where Jimmy left off. I wanna be the new Guardian.

  Alex Danvers : I have something for you.

  Kelly Olsen : What? Okay.

  [Alex retrieves a box from the closet] 

  Kelly Olsen : What is this?

  Alex Danvers : Okay. Open it.

  [doing so, Kelly finds the Guardian helmet inside] 

  Alex Danvers : The moment I saw you use that shield during Crisis, I had a hunch that this might be coming. So I reached out to James. And he sent this for you. I don't think there is anyone better fit to be the next Guardian.

  Kelly Olsen : I don't know what to say... except I love you.

  Alex Danvers : Yeah, we'll see how you feel after we start your training.

• Alex Danvers : Rough day?

  Kelly Olsen : It definitely started that way.

  [taking a glass of wine] 

  Kelly Olsen : Aw. Thank you.

  Alex Danvers : Of course.

  Kelly Olsen : But for the first time... in a long time... I felt completely exhilarated. I felt empowered. And today, I saw I made a real difference.

  Alex Danvers : I told you, the Kelly Olsen that I love never gives up.

• Kelly Olsen : What are you doing?

  Miss Hochschild : I'm suppressing his powers.

  Kelly Olsen : He's in pain.

  Miss Hochschild : No, he is fine. What on earth are you doing here?

  Kelly Olsen : I came to check on Joey, and I am glad I did. He is obviously terrified about his brother, and this is how you treat him?

  Miss Hochschild : You may not agree with my methods, but it is my job to keep this place in order, and to teach those kids that actions have consequences.

  Kelly Olsen : I wonder how your bosses would feel about your teaching methods if they ever saw the security videos.

  Miss Hochschild : Do you think anyone has time to look at what goes on in here?

  Kelly Olsen : If you're not gonna protect these children... I will.

  Miss Hochschild : Listen, Ms. Olsen. I have been working in this system longer than you've been alive. So, go ahead. I wish you all the best.

• Esme : [after Miss Hochschild is arrested]  You did all of this, didn't you?

  Kelly Olsen : Sorry, Esme, I, um... I don't know what you're talking about.

  Esme : Don't worry, I'll keep your secret. This house needed a guardian angel. And now, we have you.

• Kelly Olsen : The children wear power-dampening cuffs?

  Miss Hochschild : Oh, that's a necessary precaution. I mean, with ten alien children under my care, their abilities have to be controlled. When Joey gets angry, he can overpower his.
