Supergirl actress Melissa Benoist has teased the reunion between Kara Zor-El and Mon-El (Chris Wood), but don't expect things to go as exactly as you'd imagine.
We last saw the Daxamite prince at the end of season two after being sucked into a wormhole, though he's due to finally be reintroduced in Monday's (November 20) episode.
Mon-El's return to the fray has already been teased, especially after hints that an alien ship housing the Legion of Super-Heroes has been lying in wait in National City.
"It's going to be weird and difficult," Benoist - who recently spoke out after an executive producer on the show was accused of sexual harassment - told Entertainment Weekly of the long-awaited reunion.
"You watch Castaway, and Tom Hanks returns and Helen Hunt doesn't know what to do.
"He was the first love that she's ever had. I know they had their differences up until the end, but toward the end, they really saw each other on an even playing field.
"They were peers. She said, 'Go be a hero, you're ready.' They believed in each other, so losing that confidante, that support, that love was devastating to her."
The star added: "I feel like, for the first time, especially since we've started the show, she really felt like she had it balanced — she had a happy life with her partner, she had work going for her and was working her way up in the premiere, and she was loving being Supergirl and saving the world, so a giant part of her identity was wrenched from her."
Supergirl airs on The CW.
