Fans were upset they didn’t see that development or meaningful conversation and instead were shown other things like Lex’s trial.
J’onn and Lena laid into Alex and informed her that while it may have been fine in the past, Alex needed Kelly to know in order to give her significant other support during this devastating time.
It was really weird because the Season 6 premiere did have the characters make a big deal to Alex about how Kelly wasn’t in the know that Kara is Supergirl.
