After several blackouts caused by she was so tough on her in comparison to the way she was with Kara. The next day before she left, Eliza told both Alex and Kara that she was proud of them, though she told Kara that there was room for improvement as Supergirl.

Medusa virus
Eliza returns to National City to celebrate Thanksgiving with her daughters and Kara introduces her to Mon-El, who immediately tries to get close to her, prompting Kara to think he is trying to hit on her adoptive mother, however Eliza told her he is acting that way because he likes Kara. After Mon-El contracted the Medusa virus at the bar, Eliza examines him and informs the others that despite his condition being stable, he was infected, and that the virus is not transmitted between organisms.
Jeremiah's return
After Jeremiah was apparently rescued from Cadmus, Eliza was informed and came to National City organizing a family dinner celebration in Kara's apartment. When they were alone she told Jeremiah that although she still loved him and was happy for his return, she felt like she didn't know him anymore and she would need some time before adjusting to having him back in her life. Later, after Jeremiah betrayed the D.E.O., Alex informed Eliza personally.
Marriage shower
When Alex and Maggie had announced their engagement, Eliza went to National City to attend their shower. Eliza noticed that Maggie didn't have pictures of herself as a teenager and she learned that Maggie's father had kicked her out after she came out.
Visit from her children
When Alex and Maggie had split up, Eliza was visited by Kara and Alex per the former's suggestion that they try and get away from everything for a bit. Eliza went to Kara and told her that Alex was going to be a mess for a while and Kara would still be a mess for a while herself after her separation from Mon-El. Kara told her that she was doing better but Eliza told her that she didn't have to be doing better and she was allowed to be a mess. However, Kara told her that too many people depended on her for her to be allowed to be a mess but Eliza told her that was a convenient excuse.
Abilities
- Genius-level intellect / Expert scientist : Eliza is highly intelligent, this is evidenced by the fact that she managed to come up with a cure for the Medusa Virus, by reverse engineering the virus; despite the fact that it was created by Kryptonian scientists Jor-El and Zor-El whose intellect is far more advanced than hers. Eliza also managed to cure J'onn J'onzz of his transformation from a Green Martian to a White Martian.
