When we left Kara last week, she was at a pretty low point.
Winn is barely talking to her, and things with James are just weird.
When Kara wakes up on Krypton, shes confused because, well, duh.

But, again, Kara isnt buying it.
Slowly, however, she starts to give in to this perfect prison.
Meanwhile back in the real world, a solar storm is disrupting Earths satellite and data pipe systems.
They try removing the plant, but they realize that forcibly removing it will kill Kara.
They cant forcibly remove the Black Mercy from her chest.
Hologram Alura is of no help at all.
The story immediately becomes about these two sisters, which is one ofSupergirls sweet spots.
Because this isSupergirl, the theme of family is in every corner of the episode.
Cats mainly angry at Kara because she hurt her son.
When Alex arrives on Krypton, she finds her sister in the middle of family time.
At this point, Kara doesnt recognize her sister, so she knocks her out.
Earth needs Supergirl, Alex implores, as guards attempt to detain her.
They figure out that they are likely attacking six of the satellite uplinks.
Declaring she chooses Earth, Kara reaffirms her love for the family she has here.
Non is his usual condescending and annoying self.
Meanwhile, Alex confronts Astra, who makes it clear shes willing to kill her.
(#FACTS: The Martian Manhunter vs. Astra fight was unadulterated awesomeness!)
To save her surrogate father, Alex kills Astra with the Kryptonite sword.
Hank and Alex call Kara to the scene of her aunts death and allow her one last goodbye.
Its a touching scene and is the family reunion Kara needed.
Before she dies, Astra warns her that its too late to stop whatever the Myriad plan is.
When Kara returns home later that night, she finds Alex, Winn, and James waiting for her.
She admits that shes been feeling lost for the past few weeks and thats why she dreamed of Krypton.
But, they dont care and are just happy shes home and safe.
