Katie McGrath and Andrea Brooks talk Supergirl season 5 fallout

Supergirl stars Katie McGrath and Andrea Brooks preview what’s to come for Lena and Eve in Season 5 with the fallout of Season 4’s shocking betrayals looming large on the horizon.

Over the course of its first three seasons, Supergirl tackled many stories of betrayal and heartbreak; however, Season 4 took the cake by taking things to a whole new level.

After standing idly by in the background as Lena’s quiet assistant, Eve’s true intentions came to light when it was revealed she had been working for Lena’s dastardly brother Lex all along. With the flip of a switch, Eve blindsided Lena and those around her as a pawn in Lex’s grand scheme.

As the season closed, though, we discovered there was even more to Eve than met the eye as it was revealed she had somehow gotten mixed up with the wrong people — a thread which could perhaps explain why she did the things she did. Fortunately for fans, Supergirl will continue to peel back the layers on the enigma that is Eve Teschmacher.

"“You can expect there will be a bit of a deep dive into her past. And we’re going to kind of figure out the puzzle pieces,” Supergirl’s newest series regular Andrea Brooks previews of delving deeper into Eve’s backstory in Season 5. “One of the things I love about Eve is she’s such an enigma and what you see is not necessarily what you get. And they’re going to continue with that. So there’s so much more to be explored and Leviathan is going to be a major factor.”"

With Eve set to play a larger role in Season 5, the writers not only receive the chance to delve deeper into the character’s mysterious background but in exploring the fallout of her blindsiding Lena.

"“Yeah, Eve [has many] dark secrets as I think we all know and as I discovered much to my own despair,” added Brooks’ co-star Katie McGrath. “We’re going to be sort of dealing with the fallout with Lena in that she has been betrayed by yet another person she cared about. I think with Eve because [Lena] did open up so completely to Eve and to know that she had been working with her evil, murderous brother the whole time is a bit of a punch to the gut.”"

While Eve’s shocking betrayal threw Lena and company for a major loop in Season 4, as Lena quickly discovered, it was just the tip of the iceberg.

In one last attempt to break his sister’s spirits and get one over on her once again, Lex revealed the truth about Kara’s secret identity. While she put on a brave face initially, the fallout of discovering everyone close to her has been keeping her in the dark won’t be easy for Lena to overcome with the fallout set to play a key role in Season 5.

"“I think what’s going to be great about this season is you’re going to be seeing Lena deal with the fallout of everybody betraying her,” McGrath previewed. “What does that do to a person and what does that do to a human being who’s a very caring, emotional human beings to have that completely ripped away from her? And I think what’s really interesting from the character point of view is going to be discovering what is left after that, what that does to somebody, how they move forward and if they can.”"
