Supergirl Discovers A Cult In ‘The Faithful’ Trailer

This past episode of Supergirl had some solid emotional beats to it. Between the deal with Maggie and her father, and J’onn and his father over on Mars, the show somehow manages to keep itself emotionally relevant. However, in the new trailer for the next episode, it looks like things will be getting a little more high concept.

In the latest episode, Kara will be confronting and investigating a cult leader. Check out the synopsis below:

“Kara (Melissa Benoist) investigates a secretive new group whose leader, Thomas Coville (guest star Chad Lowe), has a mysterious connection to Supergirl. Meanwhile, Samantha (Odette Annable) feels like she’s letting Ruby (guest star Emma Tremblay) down, and J’onn (David Harewood) confesses an old secret.”

While the synopsis seems to be a bit wishy-washy on the true motive behind the cult leader, based on the trailer, it almost looks as though the leader created the cult after being rescued by Supergirl. At the very beginning of the clip, you can see a man bowing down to Kara, and while it’s not particularly clear, it seems possible that that man could have been the cult leader.

That being said, we’re not sure just what in the hell he’d be doing with a bomb this season, so there’s still that question. But the synopsis still teases a “mysterious connection” to Supergirl, and apart from him worshipping her, we’re not sure what else we can think of.
