mr. & mrs. mxyzptlk

Previously on Come Back To You, Lena testified against Lillian, and Kara & Iris encouraged her to visit Lillian, who revealed that she is her husband's daughter from another woman. A package of synthetic Kryptonite was sent to Corben.

While testifying, he attacked the court and freed Lillian. A faked video was leaked showing Lena stealing the Kryptonite and she was arrested on suspicion of helping Lillian. Corben broke her out. Kara and Iris remained the only people to believe in Lena's innocence. Lillian took Lena to a remote facility set up by Lex before his imprisonment and forced her to access a stockpile of alien weapons, several of which she took. Kara arrived and intervened. Winn determines that the synthetic Kryptonite was becoming increasingly unstable and will soon explode. Kara managed to save Lena before Corben self-destructed while Lillian and Henshaw escaped by helicopter. Lena was exonerated, but began contemplating her relationship with her family, especially Lex.

Iris and Mon-El, who had a disastrous date with Teschmacher, confessed their feelings for each other at her apartment when a man calling himself Mister Mxyzptlk arrived and declared his love for her.

Meanwhile, Alex introduced Maggie to the group as her girlfriend.

"The heart that's meant to love you will fight for you when you want to give up, pick you up when you're feeling down, and will give their smile when it's hard for you to find yours. They will NEVER get strength from seeing you weak, power from seeing you hurt, or joy from seeing you cry. The heart that's meant to love you wants to see the best of you, not hurt you. Never forget that.

Iris's Apartment

Later that night, Iris's door knocked so she walked up to the door, and when she opened it, Mon-El was on the other side. "Hi. Thanks for coming," Iris said with a smile, then Mon walked in.

"Yeah, Yeah, I was, um, surprised you called after how you dashed out," Mon said as Iris closed the door.

"Yes, I wanted to apologize for that. Because I should've answered your question," Iris said as she walked over to her living area.

"Yeah, could've. Could've, should've, would've," Mon said and Iris gave him a confused look with a smile. "It's a...That's a thing I heard at the bar. It's not..."

"Yes, but I don't want to do that anymore. With you. See, uh-" Iris said before she chuckled to herself. "I can be strong, and stand my ground when I'm protecting someone else, but when that someone is me...It's a lot harder. Cause I don't like being vulnerable."

But Mon just stared at her sternly while she smiled. "We're really different," Iris said.

"Yeah. I'm, uh, super fun. And you're hyper-critical," Mon said.

"More like, you're an arrogant dude-bro and I'm the personification of the American way," Iris said.

"I'm sorry, and I'm arrogant?" Mon asked and Iris chuckled.

"That's not the point. It's just," Iris said before she stammered a smile. "A couple of years ago, my fiancé died. Out of nowhere. And I was finally in a good place, a good job could finally start dating again. I thought I could have it all, but then you come along. We found out we were destined to be together, but you weren't the guy Barry said you were. I thought you were...thoughtless and selfish. And I kept writing you off. And you kept proving me wrong. But before I could even do, anything, I found out I'm dying. So, what would be the point of getting in a relationship if I'm just gonna die as Eddie did? Why would I put someone else what I went through? But-"
