These are all questions facing Kara in tonights episode, which mightSupergirls first dud.
After defeating Reactron, Supergirl is riding high and thinks nothing can bring her down.
As shes enjoying some time in the sky, she notices a drone following her.
She assumes its from the DEO, but Hank denies it.
Alex points out the technology is way too advanced and that shes never seen anything like it.
Alex assures Kara that she can trust Hank.
This is one of those moments that wouldve worked if this episode had aired before last weeks.
Kara rushes to the office where Winn is drowning in phone calls as he tries to cover for her.
Everyone is calling to congratulate Cat for beating Lois Lane for an award for the first time ever.
So, Kara volunteers.
Cat warns her that Carter is gifted but shy and might not take to her immediately.
Over in the do-not-care-at-all column is Lucy and James drama.
James reveals that Lucy was the one who dumped him, which surprises Kara.
Meanwhile, Kara has to rush off because she forgot she was supposed to pick Carter up.
The one thing that gets him talking is Supergirl, who he has a huge crush on.
Hank leaves Alex in charge of protecting him, and the two nerds bond over how awesome physics is.
Basically there are romantic sparks because why the hell not.
Unfortunately, a bomb is discovered in one of Maxs labs.
NEXT: Supergirl finds her archnemesis
The DEO rescues Kara after she falls to the ground.
When she wakes up again, she just ignores what she saw.
(Supergirlis at its best when focuses on family, and this episode clearly forgets that.
The focus on the relationship nonsense just doesnt work maybe its because we all spent the weekend crying to25.
Meanwhile, Alex confronts Maxwell about his government trust issues.
It always comes back to parents on Greg Berlantis shows.
Maxwell ignores Alexs concerns and goes ahead with the launch of his super train.
Hank and Alex find the bomb at the airport but cant defuse it in time.
Hank says hell handle it on his own.
He exits the airport and says that the bomb was just a decoy.
Back on the train, Supergirl finds Ethan Knox in the front car where the bomb is located.
Not entirely sure what happens, but she basically convinces him not to kill everyone on the train.
Its a redundant and pointless lesson, and the episode knows it.
Pro tip: Dont have one of your characters say the question driving your episode is stupid and annoying.
But, the episode isnt quite over.
So, she pays him a visit.
Maxwell basically used the entire plot to test Supergirls limits.
This isnt over, they both decide.
