Supergirl - For The Girl Who Has Everything

Borrowing its plot from one of the most famous Superman stories, Kara (Melissa Benoist) becomes trapped in a fake reality in which she is still living on Krypton. Lost in the dream world by the Black Mercy, a parasitic organism designed to trap its prey in their perfect reality, Kara initially recognizes the truth of the situation but the longer she stays in the dreamworld the harder it becomes to remember her real life. Not strong enough to break free of the Black Mercy’s pull on her own, Kara will need the help of her sister to make her way home.

Supergirl - Bizarro

Melissa Benoist does double duty her as both Supergirl and Maxwell Lord‘s (Peter Facinelli) pet science experiment in an evil doppelganger of National City’s savior Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) decides to name Bizarro. If there were any doubt, the episode firmly cements Max as the show’s Lex Luthor and removes any question as to the man’s true nature or motives. Of course the show does have a reset button in its back-pocket should J’onn J’onzz (David Harewood) decide to use his powers to limit Lord as a threat both to Supergirl and the DEO.

Supergirl - Strange Visitor From Another Planet

“Strange Visitor From Another Planet” introduces a new threat to the show when a White Martian shows up in National City to attack an anti-alien Senator (Tawny Cypress) in the hopes of drawing out J’onn J’onzz (David Harewood). The show’s new villain allows Supergirl to set-up its version of J’onn’s backstory while also possibly laying the foundation for the introduction of Miss Martian somewhere down the line. The choice to make the White Martian a strong enough threat that it takes both J’onn and Kara (Melissa Benoist) working together to stop it also works to underline teases the looming threat of far more of the nearly-unstoppable aliens just a couple of planets away.

Supergirl - Childish Things

In an episode that continues to develop Henshaw‘s (David Harewood) reasons for hiding his true identity from the world, Supergirl offers us the show’s version of one of Superman’s oldest enemies, the Toyman. Staying fairly close to his roots (without his bigger and goofier Silver Age giant-sized toys), the show’s Winslow Schott (Henry Czerny) escapes from prison using deadly toys and attempts to reconnect with his son Winn (Jeremy Jordan). Not only does the episode allow Kara (Melissa Benoist) and Winn to bond over homicidal relatives but it also allows the introduction of Emma Caulfield as gun-happy Cameron Chase, the agent in charge of taking down the Toyman (dead or alive).

Supergirl - Blood Bonds

Opening with the short stand-off between Supergirl (Melissa Benoist) and Non (Chris Vance) that closed the mid-season cliffhanger, Nom’s men kidnap Hank Henshaw (David Harewood) in hopes of trading him for Astra (Laura Benanti). “Blood Bonds” deals primarily with Kara’s growing frustration and lack of control as Cat Grant (Calista Flockhart) has guessed her secret and General Sam Lane (Glenn Morshower) shows up to take control of the DEO and decides to torture Astra for information.
