David Ramsey’s John Diggle guest stars and Azie Tesfai’s Kelly Olsen takes up the Guardian identity in a promo for next week’s Black Lives Matter-inspired episode of Supergirl, “Blind Spots.” The episode was directed by Ramsey, with Tesfai serving as co-writer.
As the promo begins, Kelly tearfully tells Diggle that she is “looking at people suffer, people that look like [her],” as she, Orlando Davis and Joey Davis stand amidst the rubble of the Ormfell Building. Diggle then asks Kelly, “What are you gonna do?”
Towards the end of the promo, Kelly replies that she is going to “fight this fight,” which is followed by a glimpse of Kelly in her Guardian costume. The promo comes to a close with Kelly telling someone, “You’re not gonna hurt this city anymore,” right before she and the rest of the Super Friends are hit by an energy wave.
The full, official synopsis for “Blind Spots” reads as follows:
Kelly (Azie Tesfai) is horrified when the Ormfell building implodes, injuring many in the community, including Joey (guest star Aiden Stoxx). However, her horror quickly turns to frustration when she realizes that the hospital is overwhelmed, people are getting sicker, and no one is coming to help – including Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) who is busy fighting Nyxly (Peta Sergeant). Knowing that she can make a difference, Kelly embraces her power and fully steps into her role as Guardian. Joined by Supergirl, Alex (Chyler Leigh), Diggle (guest star David Ramsey) and team, Guardian leads the way to restoring justice to the fallen community.
Supergirl airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m. on The CW.
