It's a bird, it's a plane, it's Supergirl! Tonight, we watch Supergirl season 6 online and on The CW, with eyes and minds ready for a big conclusion. This is the final season, and we've gotta see how it all goes down. In tonight's season 6 premiere episode, "Rebirth," the action picks up where the fight left off.

Supergirl season 6 continues to follow the high-flying adventures of Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist). Due to pandemic-induced production shutdowns, it's been almost a year since Supergirl fans saw the hero in action, as she and her allies engaged in battle with Lex Luthor (Jon Cryer) and the secret alien society Leviathan.

Brainiac (Jesse Rath) is close to dying, but Supergirl soars in to take on Gamenmae (guest star Cara Buono). After defeating Leviathan, she turns her attention to Lex, who's used the Obsidian platform to brainwash half the world into loving him.

Knowing how dangerous her brother is, Lena Luthor (Katie McGrath) rallies the entire team — Alex (Chyler Leigh), J'onn (David Harewood), Dreamer (Nicole Maines) and Kelly (Azie Tesfai) — to help, but Supergirl realizes the only way to stop Lex is to sacrifice herself.
