On an average workday at the DEO, an alien prisoner got out and began beating guards senseless. Kara intervened just in time but quickly became preoccupied with a phone call from Alex.

"Where are you?" Alex demanded.

"Little busy," Kara said as she got smacked in the face.

"You promised me you would be here," Alex said distressed.

"I will be, okay. Just chill out," Kara said.

As Kara fought the alien other DEO guards tried to help out. "Really guys, great effort but I can handle him," Kara said to the others.

Kara then loaded her fist and punched through the alien's gut killing him instantly. "He was easy," Kara said amused.

"She and she had valuable intelligence we could have used," Hank said annoyed.

"I'm not apologizing," Kara replied automatically. "And she? Damn, she's almost as ugly as your mamma," Kara joked.

"Fuck you, Kara," Hank said becoming sensitive.

"Can I have the rest of the day off?" Kara asked.

"No," Hank replied.

Kara flew into her apartment window and met up with Alex. "Sorry, I'm late. Hank was being a hardass for some reason."

"I am freaking out, right now," Alex told her.

"What for?" Kara asked.

"Last year, she yelled at me for you not dating enough," Alex said seriously.

"Just tell her I'm having unprotected pre-marital sex with a Black guy," Kara said nonchalantly.

"I can't imagine what she'll do to me for you coming out...," Alex said.

"I'm not gay, okay," Kara said defensively.

"As Supergirl," Alex finished.

"Oh," Kara realized. "Well, does she not watch the news? I am literally on the news every day."

"She's too busy making pies," Alex said lamely.

"I hope she made some chocolate pecan pies," Kara's eyes lit up.

"That's disgusting," Alex remarked.

There was a knock on the door. "You need to change," Alex told her.

"It's fine," Kara said dismissively and opened the door.

Instead of her adopted mother, it was the apartment fixer-upper. "You called about a water leak?" he asked and then stared at Supergirl.

"Forget you saw this," Kara said freaked and then kissed the fat plumber.

Kara then quickly closed the door. "That was so gross. I need some soap to wash out my mouth," Kara said disgustedly.

"What did you do to that guy?" Alex wondered.

"It's one of my many powers. I can make people forget by kissing them," Kara explained.

"Does it matter if they're male or female?" Alex asked.

"I...don't think so," Kara guessed.

There was another knock on the door. Kara used her X-ray vision this time through the door. "Just change already," Alex pressed.

"No, I want to look cool for her," Kara objected. She opened her door and greeted her adopted mother, Eliza Danvers.

"Oh, my favorite wonderful girl," Eliza said giving Kara a hug. "And you, too, Alex," Eliza added as she brought her suitcases inside.

"You look great," Eliza complemented a smiling Kara. "And Alex, you look really tired."

"Wow, thanks mom," Alex said disappointed.

"How was your flight?" Kara asked.

"Better than yours, am I right?" Eliza said to Alex referring to her near-death experience. "You're doing great," Eliza assured Kara.

"Really?" Alex doubted.

"Of course," Eliza replied. "Hey, what's on talk radio?"

"Isn't that a little old," Alex asked her.

"Nonsense, I listen to Rush Limbaugh every day," Eliza said as she turned on the radio.

"This is Leslie Willis and this is Live and Wired. You know what grinds my gears: Supergirl," the talk radio host said. "Her outfit his horrible, a fashion disaster. It looks like a rejected Olympic figure skating outfit and who wears skirts these days? It seems so conservative when no one is trying to get in there. Who would that be? Who would be man enough to puncture that chastity belt of steel," Willis went on.

"This guy, that's who," James said proudly as he continued listening.

"Or maybe she's a total Lezbo," Willis continued.

"I'm not gay!" Kara shouted at the radio.

"How would it even work down there? She is an alien right? Are there tentacles in her vagina? The world must know," Willis said.

"So...," Alex said awkwardly. "Do you have tentacles?"

Kara fried the radio with her heat vision. "Now, now, Kara, it's going to be alright," Eliza said to her.

"I'm going to murder that bitch," Kara vowed.

Kara went to the office and was greeted by friend-zone Winn. "So, how is your mom?" Winn asked.

"She's great but Alex is acting like a bomb is ready to go off," Kara said.

All the workers in the office suddenly dropped to the floor as soon as Kara said "bomb." Kara ignored them. "So, what are your Thanks Giving plans?"

"Just sitting alone in my damp apartment crying myself to sleep," Winn replied.

"What about your family?" Kara asked.

"Sore wound there," Winn winced.

"Hey, orphans unite," Kara said giving Winn an inappropriate fist bump.

"Well, at least you have adopted parents," Winn said resentfully.

"How about you come over for Thanks Giving. The place could use an emotional pinata," Kara suggested.

"You don't have to do that," Winn resisted.

"Winn, you're my best friend. I can't think of a better friend than you," Kara told him.

"Stop saying that," Winn said frustrated.

Kara then realized the "bitch" was in Cat's office. Using her super-hearing, she overheard the conversation. "I warned you about going after Supergirl. No one is to be more negative than I on her," Cat said seriously.

"Yes, mom," Leslie said obnoxiously.

"I found you, I can break you," Cat told her. "Supergirl is off the table, effective immediately."

"You dictating my content now?" Leslie asked furiously.

"What are you, a Rand Paul supporter?" Cat said dismissively.

"I have two years left on my contract, and I know you're too cheap to buy me out. So, you can go fuck yourself," Leslie said proudly.

"I can't fire you, but I can transfer you to traffic reports," Cat threatened.

"Good! Like I give a shit," Leslie replied.

"You're bluffing," Cat said calmly.

Leslie stormed out of Cat's office and didn't realize her favorite target walked past her. "You sure showed her, boss," Kara said pleased.

"I don't like competition. The only one that's going to talk shit about you is me," Cat said.

"I could not hope for a better boss," Kara said mockingly.

Kara went to her favorite bar/cafe and found James brooding. "The weather got you down?" Kara asked sympathetically.

"Actually, it matches my mood perfectly," James said.

"How about you come over to my place for Thanks Giving. My white conservative adopted mom would love to have you," Kara said brightly.

"Are you fucking high?" James wondered.

"Not yet," Kara smiled deviously.

"I already have plans to take Lucy to Ohio," James told her.

"Why in God's name would you do that?" Kara asked curiously.

"To punish her," James said darkly. "If Supergirl needs me, she can just give me a call and I will not be there."

"Yeah, well, I got some family drama going on. Alex is concerned that I came out as Supergirl," Kara said a little too loudly.

"You're Supergirl?" a drinker wondered next to them.

"Oh, God damn it," Kara sighed and then kissed the man so he would forget.

"What was that about?" James asked.

"If I kiss someone, I can make them forget whatever I want, even their own names," Kara said amused.

"Wow, good thing Superman isn't gay. I would have been fucked," James mused.

Lucy Lane then entered the cafe. "Hi, Kara," she said sweetly.

"Hi, Lucy. Enjoy your trip," Kara said sarcastically.

"Well, let's go," James smiled taking Lucy with him to the airport.

Alex then approached Kara at the bar. "How did you know I was here?" Kara asked annoyed.

"Please, Hank has a tracking device on you," Alex told her.

"That's creepy," Kara said and then wondered where it could be.

"I got it figured out. Mom is furious you came out but is acting like she doesn't care," Alex said.

"Well, I don't give a shit either way," Kara admitted.

"You tell her, sister," the bartender said.

"I'm not gay!" Kara shouted back at him. She then turned to Alex. "Maybe its time you came out."

"Excuse me?" Alex asked defensively.

"Yeah, tell her what you really do," Kara suggested.

"You want me to tell her I am a DEO agent?" Alex asked a little too loudly.

"You're some kind of agent, like X-files?" a drunk man asked.

"More like Men-in-Black," Kara corrected and then realized what she had done. "Damn it," she said as she kissed the man.

"So, what has your mom thought you did this whole time?" Kara wondered.

"Unemployed," Alex winced.

"Wow, so now I know why she likes me so much," Kara mocked.

Kara and Alex went outside and happened to see a helicopter about to crash due to bad weather. "Damn...it," Kara realized she would have to save the day. Kara quickly dressed as Supergirl and flew towards the helicopter. As she did, the pilot somehow came out.

Kara grabbed the pilot and set him down on the street. She then went back to the helicopter and realized the passenger was Leslie Willis. "Oh, it's you, the bitch," Kara realized.

"Save me," Leslie pleaded.

"This is karma for all the rude things you've said about me," Kara said victoriously.

Karma decided to strike Supergirl first with a lightning strike. The lightning hit Kara, passed onto the helicopter, and zapped Leslie. "Wow, that tickled," Kara remarked and then realized poor Leslie was fried.

Kara sighed. "Somehow, someway, I'm going to get the blame for this."

The next morning, Cat and Kara came to the hospital to visit the fried Leslie. "How much longer until it's appropriate for us to leave?" Cat asked impatiently.

"One second after signing the guest log," Kara replied.

"I love that answer," Cat said giving Kara a high-five. "Let me take some pictures of her. Look at that white hair," Cat said amused as she took some photos on her phone.

"So...does she have a family?" Kara asked wondering if there were additional people she could fry.

"Not that she mentioned, maybe a guy named Bruce," Cat recalled.

"Bruce Wayne?" Kara wondered.

"Don't be stupid. The other Bruce," Cat corrected.

"So, where did all these flowers come from?" Kara asked.

"Her fans. She has a shrine dedicated to her. Who knew there were so many haters," Cat said.

"I feel awful though," Kara admitted.

"Yeah...you...fucked up big time," Cat nodded. "But don't feel bad, kid. I was the one that put her in the helicopter, so I get credit for this one," she smiled.

"Well, back to work," Cat ordered Kara. Once Kara was out of the room, Cat went near Leslie. "Get off your ass, Leslie. And don't even think about applying for disability."

Alex watched TV while her mother cut carrots. "It gonna rain!" the Black weatherman reported.

"Turn that off," Eliza requested.

Alex complied turning the TV off. "So, you ready to chew me out now?"

"What the fuck were you thinking, Alex? How could you let her put on that cape," Eliza criticized.

"She's done amazing things," Alex defended.

"I know but why the cape? Do you realize you can be sucked up into a plane's engine intake that way," Eliza reminded her.

"That is highly unlikely," Alex replied.

"She's put herself in a lot of danger," Eliza said.

"She's an adult. It's not like I can stop her," Alex pointed out.

"She's been here twelve years and hasn't learned a damn thing," Eliza said.

"I literally cannot stop her," Alex told her.

"I'm disappointed in you," Eliza shook her head.

"You know what? I got work to do," Alex said and took off.

"What work?" Eliza wondered.

That night, Leslie stumbled around in a black one-piece catsuit with white hair. Her body fluctuated electricity randomly. "I can't believe they discharged me. I need a better health care plan," she realized.

Winn was taking a stroll down the street when he saw Leslie walking aimlessly. "Do you need help, lady?"

"I could use a friend," Leslie agreed.

"That again? I'm sick and tired of being in the friend zone," Winn said angrily.

Leslie got close to him and shocked him to the ground. "It's better than the dead zone," she remarked. Leslie then saw a street light and instinctively became pure electricity through it.

Winn stumbled into Kara's apartment. "Sorry, I'm late. I got shocked by a lady with white hair," he said slurring his words.

"It's alright, Winn," Eliza said forgivingly

Winn stumbled his way to his chair with his clothes still smoking. "Everything looks great," Winn remarked.

"Kara, could you cook the turkey a little bit more," Eliza requested.

"Sure," Kara said and then cooked the turkey with her heat vision.

"What...the...fuck did I just see?" Winn wondered.

"Oh, I thought he knew," Eliza said sheepishly.

"I'm not kissing him. I refuse," Kara said resolved.

"You didn't see anything," Alex told Winn.

"Oh, right," a still dazed Winn nodded.

"You know, when she first did that I was concerned we were eating radioactive turkey," Eliza chuckled.

"Yeah, cancer's funny," Alex said sarcastically.

"How about we get some food in you, Alex," Eliza said forcefully. "Like some pie?"

Alex gave a terrified look as Eliza brought up the chocolate pecan pie. "I like pie," the still dazed Winn expressed.

"Let's talk about what we're grateful for," Eliza said.

"I'm grateful for all my friends at work most especially...," Winn said standing up.

Kara's cellphone rang in the middle of Winn's speech. "It's James. I have to take this," Kara said as she hurried out of the room.

"Really?" Winn wondered.

"Sup?" Kara said to James once she was safely in her room.

"I figured we could do some phone-sex to get you away from your mom and sister," James said smoothly.

"I could totally go for that now," Kara agreed.

Meanwhile, Alex continued drinking wine to steady her nerves. She wasn't drunk yet but getting there. "So, Eliza, you are a scientist. That's cool," Winn remarked.

"Scientist is a broad term. I'm a bio-engineer," Eliza corrected.

"I have something to tell you," Alex blurted out.

Eliza gave Alex a haunted look wondering what it could be. "Yeah, I work for the government as a DEO agent that monitors alien life on the planet."

"Oh, thank God," Eliza said relieved.

"That's also pretty cool," Winn said lamely.

"So, what did I miss?" Kara asked as she came back feeling fresh and fulfilled.

"So, the two of you work for a secret organization in the government?" Eliza asked annoyed.

"I wouldn't call it work, since I don't get paid," Kara said bitterly.

"How could you do this, Alexandra," Eliza said outraged.

"Oh shit," Kara realized.

"You lied to me for years," Eliza said pissed off.

Kara and Winn clinked glasses as they witnessed the domestic dispute between mother and daughter. "I have protected the world from alien invasions, plagues, and settled refugees. Kara's only been flying around for a few weeks, and you love her more than me."

"Do you think your father would be proud of you?" Eliza asked.

"I can never win with you," Alex said hurt and proceeded to stumble her way out of the room.

"This turkey is amazing," Winn complimented.

"I know, right?" Kara agreed.

Eliza sighed distraughtly. "Do you ever wonder why I am so much harder on her than you, Kara."

"Is it because I'm adopted?" Kara figured.

"No, it's because she knows better than to trust the government. You're...a blond ditz," Eliza explained.

"Wow, thanks for the vote of confidence," Kara rolled her eyes. Kara then eyed her cell phone and contemplated whether to stay in this awkward situation or be with her boss.

"I have to go. My boss needs me. It's an emergency," Kara said. "Winn, you're coming with me."

"Oh, sure," Winn said, his mouth full of turkey.

Kara strolled into the office and found Cat calmly drinking a glass of wine. "All of our systems are down, and I have a conference call to London and Beijing," Cat said.

"What do I look like? Radio Shack?" Kara asked sarcastically.

"You're right. I was wrong to call in a dumb blond for tech support," Cat realized.

"You're blond too," Kara shot back. Kara glanced at the computer. "I hate to say it, but we need Winn."

"What's a Winn?" Cat wondered.

"He's our IT guy, the very person we need to fix this," Kara said obviously.

The power then went out. "Well, we're fucked," Kara remarked.

"Gobble...gobble," a voice said over the speaker.

"Leslie?" Cat figured.

"Leslie Willis is dead," the TV monitor suddenly came to life and showed her face.

"Nice," Kara said amused.

"This is Leslie 2.0," Leslie explained.

"That is so lame," Kara chuckled.

"I am Livewire," she clarified.

"A lot better," Kara complimented.

Livewire suddenly materialized in the room and fired electricity at them. "Kill her," Cat ordered.

"With pleasure," Kara said only to get zapped to the floor.

Livewire went after Cat blasting away at her personal art collection. Cat took cover but Livewire used her ability to link through every electrical outlet and electronic device to find her. "Do you want to know how this happened to me?" Livewire asked Cat.

"Not really," Cat said honestly.

Livewire raised her hands for the kill when Kara, dressed as Supergirl, blocked the discharge just in time. "Wow, that actually tickled," Kara complimented.

Livewire fired more electricity at Kara but it was blocked by Kara's heat vision. The two beams met in the middle creating static discharge that caused the whole office to spark around them. Livewire then dematerialized as Kara's heat vision went through her.

"Thanks for the energy," Livewire smirked.

"Oh crap," Kara realized her heat vision was useless against her.

Kara tried physical attacks and body-slammed Livewire against the wall. She went for a killer punch when Livewire dematerialized again. Kara then realized the elevator Cat was in was free falling. Kara forced open the doors and flew towards the falling elevator stopping it just in time.

Hank came by Catco to investigate the incident with Kara. "How could this happen? People get hit by lightning all the time and don't get superpowers," Kara said.

"From how you explain it, you were the one that got hit by lightning and then that electricity passed onto Leslie. You're element X," Hank said.

"So, you're saying this is my fault?" Kara asked defensively.

"Everything is your fault, Kara," Hank said annoyed. "The important thing is that we find out how to kill her. So, she siphons off energy."

"Yeah, she absorbed my heat vision," Kara agreed.

"But she does have a physical form you can punch?" Hank asked.

"Sometimes but she can move at the speed of light," Kara sighed.

"Well, you're fast but you're not that fast," Hank said.

"Oh really?" Kara doubted.

"If I recall, we have a prisoner back at the DEO that is made of sentient energy. We have a device back at the lab that could be used to trap Livewire," Hank considered.

"I don't understand a word you're telling me," Kara said completely lost.

"Don't worry about it," Hank smiled and walked off.

Kara went back to a frustrated Cat. "You make a lousy secretary but a decent bodyguard," Cat complimented.

"Thanks, I guess," Kara replied.

"I am going to need you to stay with me overnight until we get power. Is your family going to be fine with that?" Cat asked rhetorically.

"It doesn't really matter what they think. I'd rather not be back there," Kara winced.

"Why not?" Cat asked curiously.

"Well, my foster mother and sister got into a big fight," Kara said vaguely.

"Well, at least they're fighting. My mother completely ignores me," Cat said resentfully and got herself a drink. "She didn't care that I make millions of dollars. She didn't care that I became queen of media or that I own an entire building. All she cared about was me popping out kids left and right. Thank God for Carter or I would never hear the end of it."

Meanwhile, Alex came back to Kara's apartment to find Eliza setting up candles everywhere. "Fire hazard much," Alex muttered.

"Is that sass I hear, young lady?" Eliza asked displeased.

"You know what? I don't want to fight anymore," Alex told her.

"That's because I'd kick your ass," Eliza said tipsily.

"Have you been drinking?" Alex asked disappointed.

"I was thinking about your father," Eliza admitted.

"Here we go," Alex sighed. "Why are you so hard on me?"

"Kara was a little girl from another planet and today she still acts like that little girl. She's a total ditz, one bar above being retarded. You are my daughter and you will always be my Supergirl," Eliza said.

"Oh, mom," Alex said tearfully as they hugged.

Alex then felt her phone ring at the worst possible time. "It's work. I have to go in," Alex said.

"When you come back, I need to tell the both of you something important," Eliza said.

"Yeah, sure," Alex said as she left.

Cat drank her last glass of wine at a nearby bar. "I am so wasted, right now. I don't know how you do it."

"Well, I do have Kryptonian DNA," Kara pointed out.

"So, you want to kill Livewire. I want to kill her, too. I can draw her out and then you can make the kill," Cat said.

"Fuck yeah," Kara agreed and then got a cell phone call. "What?" she answered obnoxiously.

"Get your ass down here. I have a device you can use to capture Livewire," Hank said.

"I'm not going to capture her. I'm going to destroy that bitch," Kara said determinedly.

"This device will temporarily destabilize her at the atomic level giving you enough time to contain her," Hank said.

"I don't understand a word you're telling me," Kara admitted.

"It's like ghostbusters," Alex explained.

"Oh, now, I understand. I'll be right there," Kara said.

"You're leaving me?" Cat asked outraged.

"Just for a moment," Kara said and then flew out of the bar.

As soon as Kara left, Livewire was on the scene using city lights to arrive at the bar. Cat was outside waiting for her noticing the flickering lights. "Where's your bodyguard?" Livewire asked.

"No idea," Cat replied.

"Are you drunk? I wanted to kill you while you were sober," Livewire said unimpressed.

"Sorry to disappoint you," Cat said sarcastically.

Kara then landed cracking the pavement as she did. "Leslie!"

Livewire turned to Kara and fired electricity at her. The electricity hit Kara and caused explosions all around her from the discharge. Kara emerged from the smoke unaffected. With super-speed, Kara flew up to Livewire and punched her into the air. Livewire dematerialized into electrical pole lines and then rematerialized. Forming long whips of electricity, Livewire swiped at Kara.

"Whiplash did it better," Kara said as she held onto Livewire's whip.

Kara pulled Livewire closer to her and blasted her with heat vision. "Oh, yes, keep it up," Livewire said as she absorbed the energy.

Kara continued to fire on Livewire giving her more energy and making her stronger. "What the fuck are you doing?" Hank asked Kara through the ear pierce.

"If I give her enough power, she'll overload like a battery," Kara said.

Livewire laughed in ecstasy as she continued to grow stronger. Finally, even Kara was worn out. "Yeah, or maybe not. You just increased her power dramatically," Hank said annoyed.

"Oops, well, plan B," Kara said and then ripped through the pavement until she found a water pipe and then sprayed the water on Livewire.

Livewire shrieked in pain as she was hit with the water. Kara knelt down next to the fallen Livewire. "If a bug-man can defeat a human battery, what made you think you could beat me?" Kara asked rhetorically.

"Good job, Supergirl. Now, use the device to keep her contained," Hank said.

"The what now?" Kara asked already forgetting she had it.

The next day, Kara came into the office and handed Winn a bunch of leftovers she didn't want to eat. "This is for putting up with my crazy family."

"Thanks," Winn said gratefully. "You know. I never got to say what I was grateful for. What I'm grateful for is you."

"Oh, that's so sweet. You are such a great friend," Kara said giving him a hug.

"Yeah, sure," Winn said as his heart was crushed.

Kara then noticed James and Lucy entering the office. "How was Ohio?" Kara asked.

"Oh, we got shot at a few times. It was really exciting," Lucy said brightly. "I'll see you later," Lucy said giving James a kiss and then left.

"You okay?" James asked Kara. "I heard about Livewire."

"Too easy. I kicked her ass," Kara smiled.

"Kara!" Cat called over.

Kara entered Cat's office. "What story should I run: a young starlet that face-planted because she had too much to drink or a young heartthrob that got caught at a gay bar?"

"Why not both?" Kara said obviously.

"I was thinking we should run stories on soup kitchens and shelters," Cat said thoughtfully.

"Are you fucking with me?" Kara wondered.

Cat then realized she couldn't focus on Kara's face. "I'm still a little drunk," she admitted.

"Sounds like it," Kara agreed.

"I want you to know how much I appreciate you ditching your family to get drunk with me last night and beating the shit out of Leslie," Cat said appreciatively.

"You're very welcome," Kara smiled.

Kara came back to her apartment to find that Eliza and Alex had made up. "I have something to tell the both of you," Eliza said seriously. "It's about your father."

"He's still alive?" Kara said stunned.

"No, Kara, he's still dead," Eliza corrected. "He died working for the DEO under Hank Henshaw," Eliza revealed.

"So, Hank killed him?" Kara asked.

"I don't know that for sure," Eliza admitted.

"He could have died saving the world or something," Alex considered.

"Possibly," Eliza allowed.

"Maybe Hank and dad were best buddies, comrades in arms," Alex continued.

"Hank, your boss, is an asshole," Eliza told them.

"Well, I already knew that," Kara said unimpressed.

Back at DEO headquarters, Hank greeted Alex and Kara. "Good job, Supergirl, the DEO has its first non-alien prisoner," Hank said as Livewire was carted away in a tube.

"Maybe I can add a few more humans to your collection," Kara volunteered.

"Or maybe you can get back to your real job of catching aliens," Hank suggested.

"Yes, Sir," Kara mocked.

"I expected a wittier comeback. Have you lost your touch?" Hank asked.

"No, Sir. Just ready to work," Kara replied.

Hank smiled and then laughed hysterically as he walked down the hallway. "It's not that funny," Kara frowned.

"We have to find out what happened to my dad," Alex said seriously as Hank walked off.

"He died in a plane crash," Kara said obviously.

"No, don't you get it. It's a government cover-up," Alex hissed.

"The government doesn't lie to people," Kara said naively.

"You helping me or not?" Alex asked her.

"Alright, I'm in but only because Hank is an asshole," Kara agreed.

"We start digging tonight," Alex said resolved.
