Supergirl

When I was a child, my planet Krypton was dying.

I was sent to Earth to protect my cousin.

But my pod got knocked off-course

and by the time I got here,

my cousin had already grown up and become Superman.

I hid who I really was

until one day when an accident forced me to reveal myself to the world.

To most people, I'm a reporter at Catco Worldwide Media.

But in secret, I work with my adoptive sister for the DEO

to protect my city from alien life

and anyone else that means to cause it harm.

I am Supergirl.

Previously on Supergirl...

Jeremiah helped us escape.

You saw Dad?

You're Hank Henshaw. The real Hank Henshaw.

Hank Henshaw is dead.

I'm Cyborg Superman.

About us not being a match,

I didn't mean that.

Nothing's stopping us.

Nothing's stopping us.

Good morning.

Kara?

Kara!

Was it that bad?

Was it that good?

and it's been quite a morning for Supergirl.

National City's own feminist hero in a cape

has already prevented five armed robberies,

delivered a litter of puppies,

and given one very lucky tugboat owner some extra help

hauling a tanker.

She's done a lot more than me.

Morning.

Hi.

- I got you these. - Oh! What a gentleman.

Thank you.

- Just hang on, one sec. - Okay.

Hi.

So, I...

I had a really nice time.

Yeah? Me, too.

- Um, one note. - Okay?

I would like to wake up next to you.

- Oh? - Yeah.

Gosh, it's so nice to do that without breaking the guy's nose.

- How many times did that happen? - Um...

- Less than five. - So four?

Exactly four times.

Hey, so, since you got your little superhero-ing out of the way for the day,

can we maybe just stay here?

- Hmm? - Oh, gosh, I really...

- I... Oh, no... - Yes. Yes.

No, no, no, 'cause we have to be at the DEO in like 20 minutes.

- Boo! - I know, I know.

Speaking of which, um, can we just keep this quiet?

What you...

-You don't want people to know? -No, no, I do.

It's not that. It's just...

Just for now.

'Cause the last time I liked someone,

everyone in my life watched and commented on it.

And I just really don't want that to happen to us.

Hmm. So there's an "us"?

- Yeah. - Yeah? I like that.

Well, okay.

We can keep it quiet.

Hey, everybody! Uh, quick thing.

Kara and I are dating. Yes, it's awesome.

Yes, we are very happy.

And your jealousy is appropriate.

You can carry on now. Thank you. Sorry.

- Ten seconds. - Yeah, I thought that was...

You lasted... We just walked in. It was 10 seconds.

very, very short. I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself.

I mean, back on Daxam, they used to throw parties when people got together.

You're lucky I didn't arrange a parade.

- Ha ha! - I'm just saying.

Can we just pretend like that never happened?

I'd like nothing more.

But unfortunately, as your supervisor,

I have to ask you to report to HR.

Wait, you're serious?

Kara, you're dating a co-worker.

That's not... Wait, we have an HR?

Walk this puppy down to the second floor

and fill out all the forms Pam gives you in triplicate.

Oh, and you're gonna have to attend a mandatory sexual harassment seminar.

Seriously?

It's going to be a rough sparring session for me.

- You think? - Okay, I'm gonna warm up.

Holy Cadmus cream egg.

Cadmus? They've been dark since Lillian broke out of prison.

Uh, well, they are back and with a vengeance.

We've got a convoy coming out from one of their suspected weapon storage facilities

Tell Alex and Mon-El to set up a back-up team.

- You going alone? - Nope. I'm taking the other fly guy.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

I can't see inside.

Cover me!

Oh, my God.

They told me but I didn't believe it.

Alex. My Alex. Ow.

Okay.

I don't know how long we were rotting out there in the Amazon, but...

I came to at Cadmus.

They saved me, so I could save Henshaw.

They forced me to keep him alive, to enhance him.

Physically turn him into the monster he was beneath.

It is strange

seeing you in Henshaw's skin.

I hope I've put it to good use.

Better than he ever did.

But what happened after that?

You were gone for such a long time.

I guess I did too good a job enhancing Henshaw,

'cause Cadmus wanted me to stick around,

help 'em with other projects.

In the beginning, I tried to escape again and again.

But, well, let's just say they didn't appreciate that very much.

Oh, Dad. I...

It's okay, by...

By working with them, I was helping to keep you

and your sister safe.

I came as soon as I heard.

Mon-El of Daxam. We meet again.

I'm glad you're okay.

I was worried after you let us out that Cadmus was gonna...

Cadmus would imprison and torture me for betraying them?

Yeah, well, you'd be right.

Dad, the uh,

the damage to your hand is... It's extensive.

It's a punishment for helping Mon-El and Kara escape.

But I would do it again, in a heartbeat.

I'm so lucky you found me.

I'm so lucky to be back with you two.

Well, it's more than luck.

What do you mean?

We got an alert that Cadmus was moving a weapon,

and we don't get alerts unless they're releasing a video

or we catch them red-handed.

But we did catch them red-handed.

Though... No, they were waving their red hands around in the air

literally like they just didn't care.

- No... - No, Mon-El is right.

You need to keep your guard up.

'Cause Cadmus does have a weapon.

What is it?

A nuclear fusion bomb.

They're going to destroy National City,

and blame it on hostile aliens.

How did Cadmus get their hands on it?

Well, they didn't steal it. They built it.

Using the radiation they mined from your heat vision

when you were in their custody.

Oh, my God.

When will the device be ready?

Right... Now.

The DEO and Supergirl

won't be able to stop us this time.

So, what you're telling me is that Jeremiah Danvers,

former DEO agent and Alex and Kara's long lost father

has returned from Cadmus custody with news

that our enemy has developed a nuclear fusion explosive

using Kara's other-worldly heat vision radiation,

and that they're going to drop that on National City and just kill us all?

Ha! Is... Is this... Is this place bomb-proof?

You could run a trace on Kara's heat vision radiation signature.

Right, yeah well, if the bomb is armed,

then yes, I might be able to pinpoint

its location before it goes off.

Good, get to work, Winn.

Jeremiah!

Eliza.

Oh, my God.

My God, did I miss you?

Hey, Kara, can I talk to you for a second?

Yeah.

What's up?

Look, I know you're happy he's back.

- Are you not? - I...

- He saved us. - Yes. Exactly.

I was there and I... I watched you solar flare,

and it didn't look like they were trying to, you know, capture your heat-vision.

It looked like they just wanted you to blow your powers out.

Mon-El. You are not a scientist.

And you don't know how that Cadmus device worked,

but Jeremiah does.

Why is it so hard for you to trust him?

-Why is it so easy for you? -Because he's always protected me,

at great cost.

He also lived with your enemy for years.

They... They forced him to keep Henshaw alive.

What makes you think that they're not forcing Jeremiah to do something now?

I know you're just trying to look out for us.

- For me. - Mmm-hmm.

But he needs us right now.

Please.

Okay.
