Supergirl's Chyler Leigh on Turning Vigilante and the "Critical" Finale Ending

Tonight's Supergirl finale is not going to end where anyone hopes it will, but it's still got a lot to offer. Production had to shut down a few episodes earlier than planned due to the pandemic, making tonight's episode an unexpected finale that comes when the fight against Leviathan and Lex is just kicking it into high gear. We won't be seeing the end of that fight tonight, but that doesn't mean there's not plenty that we will get to see, including a sort-of reunion with Lena and debut of vigilante Alex (Chyler Leigh). After a close call with danger last week, Kelly suggested to Alex that maybe it was time to start wearing a mask to protect herself, and we're going to get to see this newly masked version of Alex in tonight's episode.

Lack of robust stimulus may fail to lift economy

The centre’s stimulus package may have an impact of only 1-1.5% of gross domestic product (GDP) on the exchequer, with the government relying more on liquidity support measures.
