As Supergirl is still getting the hang of being a superhero, as questions are being ask if she needs her big cousin Superman for help when she can't handle it.
After giving an interview to Cat, Kara gives her some information that was accidentally said: that she's Superman's cousin. When word gets out, it triggers one of Superman's enemies, Reactron.
Reactron seeks revenge after losing not just himself but his wife as well in a nuclear accident. The battle between them didn't do well in the first two, as they both equally match. But it was during the second battle that Kara had to be rescued by her cousin thanks to Olsen.
Upset that Olsen doesn't think she can do it, Kara makes a case to him and everyone that Supergirl doesn't need her big cousin for help. That came during Cat's party of the showing of her magazine cover of Supergirl. Reactron comes back looking for Supergirl.
Not only did Supergirl came, but got a little bit of help from Olsen as he was bait of getting Reactron out of the building. Kara gets word from the DOE of how to defeat him and uses lead to stop the reactor in the guy's chest suit.
Kara isn't the only one who's learning how to fight crime, that includes Olsen as well. Olsen got scared of the dangers that Kara could be in and mentions that he has called Superman way too many times in the past with his watch that he gave Olsen.
But I think that Kara has overcome the odds to what Olsen and even Cat had in her article.
I really enjoyed this episode a lot. There is so much growth going on so far after the pilot that I'm amazed how its coming along. Kara is falling in love with Olsen but as soon as she tries to ask him out, his ex comes back, Lois Lane's sister, how awkward?!
The one moment that I really like was when Kara gets a message from Clark congratulating her on beating Reactron and also that saving her was not going to happen again. Along that she's grown so much from how he first started out. That's got to be real comfort. That kind of set a tone to her and build confident.
Overall, I give this episode a 7.5/10.
You can catch Supergirl Monday nights at 8/7c on CBS.
