Supergirl season 1 last episode
The Hellgrammite is reluctantly acting as bait so the General - a.k.a. (Cats aren't the only animals that get stuck.)īut there is evil lurking. She easily thwarts a robbery, brings an ambulance stuck in traffic to the hospital, and gets a little girl's snake out of a tree. She enlists James and Winn, both somewhat jealous that the other knows her true identity, to help her restore Supergirl’s good name.
So, off Kara goes to get her feet wet in this being-a-savior business. If a woman is anything less, her credibility takes a hit. Why are her female elders the most critical of Kara? Because they know how the game is rigged against women, who must not only be strong and assertive, but also perfect. According to Cat, it’s Supergirl that should be taking cues from desk jockey Kara, not the other way around.
Her suggestion to an inquiring Kara? Supergirl needs to rise through the superhero ranks, just as Cat ascended in media, starting out as Perry White’s assistant. Cat thinks that Supergirl is being too ambitious. “Every woman worth her salt knows that we have to work twice as hard as a man to be thought of half as good,” Cat tells Kara, who is distraught over an unflattering Supergirl article running in the paper.
#SUPERGIRL SEASON 1 LAST EPISODE SERIES#
Kara, who began the series so lacking in self-confidence, is now being told she’s overly confident by the women in her life. "When you are facing a superior opponent, you need to use their strength against them," Alex explains. Alex doesn't want to hurt Kara, she wants Kara to learn that powers alone don't make a good warrior. This weakens Kara, making it a fair fight between the siblings. But before the DEO lets Kara go after the villain, Alex takes her sister to a room that's laced with Kryptonite. A mysterious alien has been found at a chemical manufacturing facility, and, thanks to some childhood memories, Kara identifies the being as a Hellgrammite. You know who else thinks Kara needs to add some strength training to her daily routine? Her sister Alex. Her advice: Get a therapist or join a gym, and start focusing. While Cat may be oblivious to the fact that Supergirl is standing in front of her, giggling nervously, she does know something is up with her assistant. To help rehabilitate Supergirl's image, Cat decides she wants an interview with her, and enlists James Olson to use his Superman connections to get in touch. #Supergirl has been "#Terriblegirl," according to Cat. Cat is angry that her city's superhero is something of a dud. Naturally, she's not pleased with herself, but Kara's self-esteem takes an even bigger hit at the CatCo office. A save-the-day moment goes very wrong when Kara, attempting to battle a fire, accidentally causes an oil spill in National City’s port. Kara starts to ask Hank Henshaw whether everyone has to undergo them when he interrupts, “It’s not because you’re a woman, Miss Danvers.” She continues, "I was going to say alien." The fact Hank even brought up her gender means that it is on everyone's mind.
We first find Kara running some tests with the DEO, racing rockets in the sky. Does Kara have more to prove than your average, everyday superhero because she’s a woman? That’s one of the first questions posed during the second episode of Supergirl, and one that lingers throughout as Kara fends off the punches of her aunt, General Astra, and the questions of her boss, Cat Grant.
