The one person that comes to her defense? Dirk Armstrong, who Cat once called the “walking personification of white male privilege.” But she should be wary of him and she is, telling Kara he's "two-faced." That's when Kara uses her super hearing to catch wind of Dirk's post-meeting banter. Though Cat's emails haven't been especially scandalous, the board of CatCo still isn't happy. Astra loved Kara as her own child, and they were embracing when Alura interrupted them. Astra explained that Kryptonians were destroying their planet by harnessing its core for power, and she had been trying to save it through methods that weren't exactly above board. We see how Kara sent Astra a message via spy beacon, and Astra came to her despite being on the lam. “What are you holding onto?” Alex asks.Ī flashback will tell us: Kara and Astra were actually quite close. Alex thinks the DEO should deal with Astra without Supergirl, because Kara may still have some familial feelings toward her. Supergirl's getting better at this whole fighting thing. Yeah, Kara's going to have a lot to deal with, so it's good that she gets some sparring practice in opposite Alex. Why is he so upfront? Well, he's her husband. She meets with a man who challenges her for not killing Kara even though he's below her in stature. Meanwhile, Astra seems to be having doubts of some sort. When he leaves the room, Kara and James establish that they are just friends who hug, rather than something more. (Good on the show for finally acknowledging that Winn is actually attractive.) Winn, meanwhile, is still slightly peeved about the James-Kara hug in last week's episode. Kara can only get help from a trusted few: James and “that handsome little hobbit who has more cardigans than you do,” a.k.a. (This is why we love Cat.) Cat orders Kara to go through all of her emails to look for anything else potentially damning. (Does this storyline sound familiar?) Embarrassing how? Well, Cat once asked Idris Elba out on a date and he said no. Cat's been hacked, and The Daily Planet is publishing her somewhat embarrassing emails. Alex is back to siding with Hank now that she knows the truth about his identity, and the two of them want Kara to take a breather before going after Astra again. “It’s time for us to be a family again,” Astra says. She doesn't intend to hurt Kara with the substance, though. She’s figured a way to protect herself from its powers and wears a resistant suit. Astra whips out the Kryptonite knife on Kara. We find Astra and Kara where we last saw them. So Aunt Astra was just trying to save Krypton from climate change and is maybe a totally sympathetic character? Hold on, let's back up a bit: We've got a lot to cover this episode.
