Melissa Benoist Talks How Kara & Lena's Friendship Will Be Impacted After Tonight's 'Supergirl'

Supergirl and Lena’s frenemies status gets worse after tonight’s all new episode of Supergirl.

Melissa Benoist talked with EW about the duo, as well as Kara and Lena, ahead of the episode.

“This episode really starts to explore the Luthor and Super relationship and the complexities of that,” she shared. “Kara might not be very happy about the way Lena chooses to handle someone like Reign, who poses a huge threat to National City, so Kara’s hackles are raised, to say the least.”

Remember, Lena is still in the dark about Kara actually being Supergirl and from here on out, Kara struggles in all her interactions with Lena.

“Kara and Lena remain the same, but after the cards are out on the table, I don’t know if Supergirl and Lena will ever be the same,” Melissa adds. “It’s interesting for Kara in that she listens to what Lena has to say about Supergirl, with Lena not knowing that she’s talking to her face. And that can be hurtful and uncomfortable and reveal a lot, so that’s not exactly what you want in a friendship.”

Supergirl airs TONIGHT, Monday, May 7th @ 8PM ET/PT on The CW.
