13 “Who Am I?”Imagine finding out that your adopted parents took the lives of your biological parents.Something that just was never in the DNA of Jonathan and Martha Kent, Superman’s down-to-Earth guardians.But life can’t always imitate that of your mentor, the Man of Steel; a harsh truth that alien Naomi (Kaci Walfall) learned tonight on the two-hour season finale of the Ava DuVernay-Jill Blankenship co-created series.But before we get there, in part one of the season finale, “Ready or Not”, our protagonist is given a locket by fellow alien Akira (Stephanie March), who was her mother’s friend.
