The episode before "Reign" was the "Supergirl" crossover episode titled "Crisis on Earth-X, Part 1," which aired in the US on Nov. 27. It showed Supergirl teaming up with Alex and other DC multiverse characters such as Green Arrow (Stephen Amell), The Flash (Grant Gustin) and White Canary (Caity Lotz).
