“Supergirl” Recap: Beneath the Surface
After last week’s train wreck of an episode, “Not Kansas” tackled a lot of storylines that didn’t quite pay off. Kara returns to Argo City, but can’t shake the feeling that something is wrong. J’onn and James try to find a shooter using DEO weaponry.

Feels Like Home | Picking up after last week’s ending, Lena manages to synthesize the cure for Reign and Mon-El injects it into her, destroying Reign. So the titular superhero doesn’t kill the villain? Letdown! After Samantha is reunited with Ruby, Kara tells Alex and co. that she wants to return to Argo City to spend time with her mother. Mon-El tags along and when they get to the city, all seems well, but Kara still feels on edge, which is magnified when a crane accident happens and Kara sees a woman walking way from the wreck.
Inside Job | Back on Earth, it’s time for another topical storyline: Gun control! A guy shoots at a cop with DEO guns and J’onn and James debate whether having a gun makes people safer. Interestingly, Lena disagrees with James’s viewpoint on the issue, saying that she has a gun to protect herself. J’onn tracks down the gunman and talks him out of shooting up the people who fired him and then tells the DEO that he’s destroying their lethal weapons and having Winn develop safer ones.
Feeling Safe | Just as Kara and Mon-El are bonding and Mon-El confesses that he still has feelings for Kara, a robot attacks them and they catch the woman from the crane accident watching them. She bafflingly confesses that Serena, a member of the high council, is behind the attack and the worldkillers. A henchman completely giving away the evil plot? That never happens! Kara and Mon-El see that their spaceship is gone, and Serena and her followers use it to travel to Earth and meet Coville. Seriously? This guy’s had more screen time this season than Maggie!
“Supergirl” airs Mondays on The CW.
