The winter finale of Supergirl was the show at its very best. That means, as you can probably guess, there was a lot of Cat Grant. Cat wasn’t the only good thing about Supergirl in “Hostile Takeover” however. There was a surprisingly interesting story to be told as Kara went up against her maybe not-so-evil aunt Astra again. Kara had to confront some harsh truths about her late mother and Astra revealed herself to be a smidge more intriguing that we all originally thought. Here are some of the best quotes from one of Supergirl’s best episodes “Hostile Takeover.”

“Only if I wanted people to die of boredom.”
Cat: “Can’t we just sue every outlet that’s publishing these e-mails?”

Cat: “Only if I wanted people to die of boredom.”
“Only people you trust on this one. James Olsen and that handsome little hobbit who has more cardigans than you do.”

“If I wanted to have sex with a beach boy I’d still be sleeping with John Stamos.”
– Cat
“Adam Foster is my son. My oldest. His father is somebody who I hadn’t dated very long. I didn’t know him very well. He’s not Carter’s father.”
– Cat
“You have no idea what that moment is like, when you have to say to yourself, ‘Maybe my child would be better off without me.'”
– Cat
