December 14, 2015: Double Cliffhanger Ending for Tonight's "Supergirl" Episode

Season 1, Episode 8 'Hostile Takeover' Tonight's episode of "Supergirl" (titled "Hostile Takeover") is the final new episode for 2015, and executive producer Andrew Kreisberg told EW.com that there are two pretty big cliffhangers for the mid-season finale, as Kara faces a brutal challenge from her long-lost aunt.

    After Astra's (Laura Benanti) Kryptonian thugs captured Kara (Melissa Benoist) at the close of last week's episode, Supergirl will find herself trying to escape her aunt's grasp on Monday, which is made especially difficult now that Astra has a few tricks up her sleeve. "There's a little bit of a surprising revelation that Astra has figured out a way to neutralize Kryptonite," executive producer Andrew Kreisberg teases. "That's certainly going to make her a little bit tougher to deal with."

    However, the actual physical fight - which we hear takes on epic proportions in the finale - is not as trying as the emotional one that's in store for the Maiden of Might. "This becomes a very emotional episode," Kreisberg says, "because it's been very easy for Kara to be angry with Astra, and think that Astra is the villain, but Astra comes with some surprising news about Kara's mother that begins to make Kara question the unwavering faith that she's always put in her mother."
