The episode opens with Mxyzptlkh an alien from another dimension wants to marry Kara, and overall this episode has a Valentine’s Day theme. Mon-el seems to be jealous of him; because of you as the viewer know that he has a crush on Kara, and he wants to date her. Alex wants to do something special for Maggie, but Maggie says that she hates Valentine’s Day, and but never tells us why until later. Winn was attacked by villains, and he is saved by an alien. Mxyzptlkh was one that set up a ply with a villain just to get Kara out to fight; so that he could save her and Mon-el just got more jealous of this. Maggie shares the story of how she was outed, and why she hates Valentine’s Day but after talking to Kara she makes a Valentine’s Day prom for Alex. Kara agrees to marry Mxyzptlkh, but she wants to do it on her planet when he gets there she backs down. Kara and Mon –el start a relationship, and Kara says that she didn’t mean it when she said that the two of them wouldn’t really work.
They used many quotable moments that I loved in this episode. “Thank you for bailing me out.”-Winn “”After so many Valentine’s days alone I was excited to spend it together doing the cute things that couples do.”-Alex ”Hey pal how’s it going?”- Mon-el. “There is no contest between you and me, I am a god and you’re a loser.”Mxyzptlkh.
Overall I loved most things about this episode, I love for the most part the fact that love was surrounding this episode. I loved that we had Alex and Maggie in love and that we had some character development and back story from Maggie. I love that Winn had found someone and that he went on a date, as a fan of the show I don’t think it will last but it was still lovely to see him with someone. It wasn’t a traditional take on Valentine’s Day, and I really liked that but it still had some things that were Valentine’s Day themed.
The one thing that I didn’t like was the love triangle story line, and what seemed to be Kara used a plot device more than a character this week. The love triangle has been done to death on TV shows, and I would like to see some new fresh ideas on these TV shows not the same old same old. I didn’t like the plot between Mxyzptlkh, Mon-El, and Kara at all because although it was an original way of doing it at the end of the day it was still very much a plot device. We as the fans have been set up for Kara and Mon-El for weeks, and we they start to move forward to what they want it was like they took a step back. For me, it was like one step forward, two steps back and I didn’t like it.
