Brainiac-5 and Dreamer travel back in time in the synopsis for the upcoming Supergirl episode “Prom Night,” which will also introduce a younger version of Cat Grant, played by Eliza Helm.
As the synopsis reads, Brainy and Nia travel back to Kara’s hometown of Midvale in 2009 to procure an unnamed item they need to get Supergirl out of the Phantom Zone. Of course, Brainy is concerned about not altering the future timeline, which is better said than done when the ship they use crashes upon arrival. Meanwhile, a younger version of Cat “sets her sights on Midvale” as she suspects it may have a big story.
