^^^ I hope you're right, and Brainy is just playing "dumb". Like... maybe he knew how to hack the codes to stop the launch, but purposely texted Lex to see if Lex really was behind it. The fact that Lex ignored Brainy's "911" text just confirmed it for him, but Brainy had enough faith in Kara to trust that she would stop that woman from destroying everything.
Okay, so maybe I'm just being TOO hopeful... but I hate the idea that Brainy couldn't hack Lex's codes.
Anyway, I made an "incorrect Supergirl quotes" gif (where you use lines from something else and attribute it to a different show/character). The lines are from a recurring skit on SNL from the '90s
