Quotes 

• Hank Henshaw : I am not Hank Henshaw. He died the same night as your father. The DEO had been pursuing an alien for months. Not one of Fort Rozz prisoners, but an innocent one that was stranded on this planet. With the help of your father, the DEO tracked the alien to a remote location in Peru. Henshaw led the squadron sent to terminate him.

  Alex Danvers : My father would never have been part of that mission.

  Hank Henshaw : You're right. Jeremiah Danvers was a good man. He realized the alien we were hunting was no threat. He was a refugee, like your sister. Sole survivor of a lost world. Your father tried to stop the mission, but Henshaw was obsessed. He finally trapped the alien was hunting for so long. So, Jeremiah made the ultimate sacrifice. He gave his life to save that alien. Your father died a hero.

  Alex Danvers : That alien... Is that you? But how are you him?

  Hank Henshaw : I am a shape shifter. When Hank Henshaw died, I assumed his identity to reform the DEO. But I also made your father a promise, that I would take care of his daughter. I recruited you so that I would honor that promise and protect you as if you were my own child.

  Alex Danvers : If you're not Hank Henshaw, who are you?

  [transforms into his martian shape] 

  J'onn J'onzz : I am the sole survivor of my planet. The Last Son of Mars. My name is J'onn J'onzz.

• Kara Danvers : [after an earthquake]  Alex. Are you okay?

  Alex Danvers : I'm fine.

  Kara Danvers : Liar.

  Alex Danvers : Back at you.

  Kara Danvers : Arm's broken here. Which, by the way, a warning would have been nice about how much that hurts.

• Supergirl : [as Hank leaves]  Nice. I'd have no idea you suspect him of anything.

  Alex Danvers : I have to play it that way until I find out whether or not he was involved in Dad's death.

  Supergirl : Do you really think he's involved? You've served with Hank for years.

  Alex Danvers : In all that time, he's never told me Dad was an agent for the DEO. Or that they were together when Dad died. E...

  [pauses as lab technician walks past] 

  Alex Danvers : Everything Hank has said to me has been a lie. I can't trust him anymore. Kara, I know he's hiding something.
