In a new episode of The Talk, Cat Grant speaks about her
news company. While she is labelled the most powerful woman, nay person, in
National City, the question quickly turns to Supergirl. In a surprisingly
considerate move, Cat describes Supergirl as one of the nicest and considerate
people she has ever met and says that everyone should aspire be to be just as
brave, kind, and strong. Meanwhile, while Supergirl flies to work, she hears a
little girl being teased for dressing up as her. Supergirl immediately stops to
compliment the girl’s look, stating that she and Laura are friends because
she’s friends with all of the nice girls.
At Catco, Kara watches The Talk when Cat arrives looking for
Winn. Kara searches for Winn when she hears a noise in a locked supply closet.
Using her x-ray vision, she quickly sees something she wishes she could unseen
as Winn and Siobhan walk out trying to redress. Winn tries to explain his
situation as something that just happened, but Kara doesn’t want to hear any of
it. Kara learns from Jimmy that Lucy has quit her job at Catco. When she thinks
that this must have something to do with Jimmy revealing her secret identity,
Jimmy states that he never told her. Instead, he just says that he blew it off
with Lucy on his own and that maybe he didn’t love her as much as he should
have.
Alex: He likes you, you like him, okay? Rebound relationships, they can work.
Kara: Name one. Alex: Kim and Kanye.
Kara: I'm embarrassed you even know that.
At the DEO, Supergirl and Alex briefly discuss the Jimmy
situation with Alex encouraging Kara to go after him before someone else does.
However, Kara is less than quick to the prospect, believing that work-based
relationships could never work out for them. Alex encourages her to embrace her
feelings before another Lucy Lane comes to Jimmy. Hank and their new guest
Senator Crane provide a new incentive to gain more funding for the DEO as the
senator believes it is a vital defense to both the city and the planet, and no
one best represents that to her than Hank, a tender gesture that Kara notices. An
alarm sounds off for a fire, and Supergirl takes off to the city.
On top of a burning building, a group of firemen attempt to
rescue one of their own under a fallen support beam. Supergirl arrives to save
the men from the destruction. Before she leaves, however, she reacts to an odd
force, something that makes her stop. When nothing seems to happen, she takes
off again, but not before we notice a glowing, red material underneath the
building.
Hank warns the agency of a group of people who have been
taking out agency men with their on alien weapon: a K’Hund, one of the
strongest Fort Rozz escapees. Supergirl’s less than excited about the prospect
instead mocking the director’s tone and leaving on her own. On the field, the K’Hund
attacks an officer’s vehicle before the DEO enter the scene. Supergirl comes in
and begins to mock the K’Hund for his clichéd story and easily beats him. In
the end, she has him beneath her feet but decides to let him go, saying he’s
not worth her time. However, she tells Alex that the alien escaped.
Hank lectures Kara that the DEO’s job is to catch aliens not
let them go free. Supergirl comments back that she’s only here to follow their
orders, and that Hank should capture the aliens himself considering he’s powerful
enough to do that. Alex tries to defend Hank by saying it’s dangerous for him,
but Supergirl fires back that every single Kyptonian except for her cousin
wants her dead and if Hank wanted to honor his people, he should at least fight
as them. Supergirl then leaves to return to her day job but not before taking a
chunk out of the wall with her fist.
The next day, Kara rides up Cat’s private elevator,
believing Cat’s private elevator is a waste for one person, despite Winn’s and
Cat’s questioning. Kara tells Cat that she saves 90 seconds of walking which
keeps her latte 90 seconds warmer, so she’s off-the-hook despite being a little
brazen. Siobhan, meanwhile, goes to Cat with a possible story of Supergirl letting
the K’Hund go free. Cat shuts down the story, believing that there should be a
good reason for Supergirl acting this way, and dismisses Siobhan. The DEO then
captures the K’Hund who informs them on how Supergirl let him go.
Kara arrives at CatCo the next morning with a new outfit and
attitude as she talks to Cat. When Kara’s able to immediately produce a list of
potential replacements for Lucy in order of those who would annoy her the
least, Cat accepts this as a good change and offers her tickets to Club
Apocalypse while Siobhan grows more spiteful towards her.

Siobhan then plans to email the story to Perry White of the
Daily Planet, but Kara deletes the email and shows the product to Cat. Cat
fires Siobhan and informs her that, after a talk with Perry White, the Daily Planet
will not hire her either because she values loyalty in her employees rather
than backstabbing. Kara seems fine with the result, believing Siobhan to be a
bad seed. To cheer the guys up, she takes them to Club Apocalypse.
While Winn worries about Siobhan who hasn’t called him back,
Kara shows up at the club to dance with Jimmy. When she becomes a little too
forceful in wanting to take what “the poor-man’s Lois Lane was to idiotic to
keep,” Jimmy pushes her away, noticing something wrong. He then receives a call
from Cat Grant who requests a meeting with Supergirl. Kara immediately leaves
for CatCo.
Supergirl confronts Cat who wants to know why she let the
alien go free. Supergirl complains that Cat created a “girl-scout” image of her
in the media, but Cat responds that as a superhero she’s meant to represent the
best of people. In her frustration, Supergirl states that she quits helping the
people in National City, believing that Cat’s the most arrogant and
self-serving person she knows. Proving she’s the most powerful person in
National City, Supergirl tosses Cat off a building only to grab her at the last
second.
Winn, Jimmy, and the DEO try to figure out the origins of
Supergirl’s behavior by looking back at her last mission. After scanning the
building, the team finds a level of radiation similar to that of kryptonite
only man-made. While the substance doesn’t hurt her, it could explain her
erratic behavior. They trace the red kryptonite back to Maxwell Lord who comes
to attempt to help them. The DEO then lock him up as he tries to explain
himself, that he attempted to recreate the substance after Supergirl’s
encounter with Bizarro in order to fight Non and his gang. Hank states that the
satellite on top of the building was his, and that the man likely set a trap to
kill Supergirl. Lord has been tracking Supergirl’s actions in order to learn
the synthetic kryptonite’s effects only to watch her toss Cat Grant off a
building. In an effort to make peace, Lord says he will try to make a cure, but
Alex warns that he turned Supergirl into the monster he feared she was.
"True power is choosing who lives and who dies."-Supergirl
Cat decides that she has no choice but to denounce Supergirl
in front of National City despite Winn and Jimmy’s protests. With CatCo’s
support for Supergirl gone, the city loses its trust in the hero. Alex then
tries to talk to Kara only to find her dressed in a Kyrtonian garb. Kara states
that Alex is only jealous that Kara has superhuman abilities which makes the
human seem worthless. Without the DEO, Kara states that the city will worship
her, and that Alex must deep down hate her, which was why she killed her aunt.
With that line, Kara flies out into the city.
Lord nearly completes an antidote when Alex states that Supergirl’s
on the loose. Senator Crane says that, unfortunately, the DEO must take
Supergirl down to protect the city. While Hank does not want to kill Kara, the
senator states that the DEO’s job is to stop alien threats, and Supergirl has
now qualified as an alien threat. Lord finishes the antidote and hands the
weapon to Alex as the team plans to ambush Supergirl.
Supergirl spots Cat’s recorded message and, in a fun shout
out to Superman III, flicks cashews at bullet speed to the wall until one
shatters the television. She then flies downtown to create some mayhem in the
streets while the people can barely put up a fight. The DEO show up and try to
fend her off with kryptonite bullets, but she still proves to be too powerful
and steals their weapons. When she narrows her fight to Alex, Hank transforms
to level the playing field. The two fly and pound away at each other, but
J’ohnn still manages to stay ahead, mostly through his intangibility. Alex
finally gets a clear shot to Supergirl with the antidote and brings her down safely.
Unfortunately, the DEO also turns on J’ohnn J’onzz as an alien enemy. Alex begs
for him to run, but he transforms back into Hank and agrees to being taken in
by his own agency.
Kara wakes up in the DEO after the fight and tearfully
remembers everything she’s done, mumbling that she had acted on every bad
thought she ever had. Alex reassures her that no matter what happens, they are
sisters. Senator Crane confronts Hank in his new cell about his lie where he
admits that he is J’ohnn J’onzz but does not admit if he killed the real Hank
Henshaw. Crane admits that she used to be afraid of aliens until she met him,
but now she can only see everything he said as a lie. Alex then asks why he
didn’t run where he admits that he’d rather spend a thousand years in a cell to
keep Alex and Kara safe.
"Because I'd spend a thousand years in this cell if it meant keeping you, and your sister, safe."- Hank
Kara returns to work in her usual style to talk to Jimmy.
She tries to apologize though Jimmy says he knows it’s not her fault. However,
the things she said against Lucy reveal a hint of jealousy for Kara who states
that she would jealous towards anyone Jimmy loved. Unfortunately, after the
night, Jimmy needs more time to think about what he feels.
Finally, Supergirl goes to appeal to Cat, saying that she
loves the city and everyone in it, and the happiest time of her life was being
Supergirl. Every time she helped someone, she felt as though a bit of their
light became her own with the red kryptonite taking every dark part of her out
in the open. Cat brushes off her sorrow, stating that she didn’t scare her
(only to actually admit that, yes, Supergirl did scare her). In the end, Cat
acknowledges that it won’t be easy for Supergirl to win the city back, but that
it’s not impossible, especially for someone like Supergirl. In a touching
ending, Supergirl simply wants to stay on the balcony a little while longer.
