So far, Season 2 of Supergirlhas focused on the machinations of the evil organization Cadmus, which is dedicated to capturing and destroying aliens on Earth. The previous leader, Lillian Luthor (Brenda Strong), was arrested in the midseason finale, but it's possible that Hatcher's character has been pulling her strings behind the scenes and is the true villain of the season.
