February 25, 2017: Melissa Benoist Talks About Dean Cain's Return in "Supergirl"

In a new interview with Entertainment Weekly, Melissa Benoist talks about Monday night's upcoming "Homecoming" episode, in which Dean Cain's character Jeremiah Danver returns, escaping from Cadmus.

"Immediately, it's just a joyous occasion that I think blinds them to a threat there because he was gone for so long that they don't know what happened to him while he was with Cadmus, so there's conflict," Benoist says. "One of them is adamant that he's innocent, and that he wouldn't do anything to hurt anyone. The other is more suspicious, so there's some butting heads."

"Mon-El is more suspicious about Jeremiah coming back, and that pushes Kara into going, 'OK, he raises some questions,'" Leigh says. "Kara says, 'Maybe we need to vet this out a little more before diving straight in,' but Alex is like no holds barred, she's like, 'No, dad's back, this is it, family is family, ride or die.' It does divide them a bit because Alex believes so wholeheartedly that he's completely innocent and just wants to be a part of things."

As for the role of Cadmus in the series... "There's continuing attempts to just rid the planet of aliens - mass exodus of anyone that's different on Earth, they want them out," Benoist says. "Their threat is really ominous, and also, I think, quite relevant to things that are happening in the world, which I'm proud of this show for. Lillian Luthor is a constant dark cloud over National City for everyone at the DEO."
