Yeah, that is kinda weird. They even waited until the absolute final seconds of the episode to do the Mama Mon-el drop. The "Previously On..." recap omitted her murdering Mon-el's father too, which I thought was odd.
And the next episode sounds Alex centric so I don't know how much they plan on fleshing out whatever the endgame is for the season finale.
They were so busy getting characters into bed together that they didn't have a lot of room for much else.

At this rate they should save Mon-El's mom for next season's first arc bad guy or something. Have this season end with Mon-El being thrown into the future and Mama-El just going completely off the rails.

No. He's from Daxam, which is a planet inhabited by creatures descended from Kryptonian explorers.
Yada yada yada
Daxamites don't have all the same abilities of Kryptonians but are not vulnerable to kryptonite. Instead they are weak to lead, which luckily is a super rare material not used on Earth.

Ravi putting in work. Overall though, it was a boring episode. These breaks are killing any momentum this show builds up.
The Winn x Guardian x girlfriend side story was annoying. I would have preferred sister drama to that or even Kara/Mon drama.

Hmmm, guess I was just mis-remembering my comics lore. I could've sworn I've seen Mon-El flying and subbing in for Superman on some occasions. I know about the lead thing (which they've barely even touched upon in the show).

No, you probably have the comic lore part right.
In this show the Daxamites do not possess all of the abilities of Kryptonians. They're basically Action Comics issue 1 Superman level here.
Yes, comics Mon-El was the equivalent of Superman, only the fatal Lead poisoning weakness instead of Kryptonite. I think DC changed the continuity several times so I don't know what is considered true anymore, but what I remember is that Superboy thought Mon-El was his older brother, then learned he was Daxamite and gave him the name Mon-El. Then they tested M with kryptonite, it didn't harm him but the lead box fatally poisoned him. He was stuck in the Phantom Zone for a thousand years, when the Legion discovered him and eventually Brainiac-Five created a lead-poisoning 'cure' shot. Mon-El was a big hitter for the Legion though. It was kind of tragic how they kept bringing back his poisoning over the years and I think he died more than once, only to be retconned.
I don't know what CW's plans are of course, but I'd love to see M develop into a more mature hero, get the lead poisoning and be put into the Zone, hopefully in a sad and tragic scene with Supergirl and Superman present. And then a few moments after ... he reappears, older and in full costume in a Legion time bubble and accompanied by a few other Legionnaires! yeah! bring it on!

You are not wrong. Mon-El subbed in for Superman before.
This is also the first time that a Supergirl-MonEl romance was ever brought up, so...

Ravi stays with a bad one, first Peyton then Lena.
The visual of Kara freezing the nanobots was cool.
Winn better not ever cheat on Lyra.
Kara got her job back, but every Catco scene was way better in season 1 when Cat was available as part of the show.

Lena is Smallville Lex
She's going to briefly, creepily marry Mon-El, then push her mom out a window in season 7.

I like this idea. Teri Hatcher hasn't really gotten the chance to do much yet, but the fans love her. I'd hate to see her wasted on a rushed final boss that didn't have proper buildup.

My greatest concern, especially with the recent casting announcements, is that it's going to be just that: a rushed final boss with no build-up.
I can already imagine Mon-El's Mom just giving

Rushed final boss that didn't have proper buildup is this show's MO.

Now that you say it, me as well.
Isn't Daxam in the same star system as Krypton in Supergirl? You would think they would have the same powers as Kryptonians in the show.
Slight atmosphere differences.

I don't think they ever explicitly go into it on the show, but current Daxamites are the result of Kryptonians interbreeding with a native population of Daxamites 1000s of years ago. In the comics it meant they had the ability to mate with any humanoid species.
iZombie films like two blocks away from Supergirl. And while it is airing at the moment, it might have been completely filmed way ahead.
Daxamites are also absolute xenophobes. Look up Sodam Yat's origin.
To save you a click Sodam Yat is Green lantern, who as a kid helped and befriend an alien that crased on Daxam. They were found out and the buddy was taken away he later found out years later during a school trip to museum that they killed the alien, stuff him and then used him as propaganda piece by showing him attacking a daxamite. Oh he was also brainwashed because he was friends with him and broke out of due to seeing his friends corpse.
Well, Queen Rhea at least wasn't that bad.
