History Recap / ALZIProductionSupergirl

* PreAsskickingOneliner: Supergirl tells a street hooligan that she must teach him a [[AnAesop little lesson]].

* AccentUponTheWrongSyllable: When Supergirl first enters Orlov's [[SupervillainLair hideout]], she tells them that if he surrenders, she promises that she'll quickly deliver him and his gang to the police station. But because of her strong Russian accent and presumed difficulty with English phonics, it at first glance, may sound like she's saying [[UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation}} "PLAYstation"]] instead of "police station".

* FakeAmerican: Supergirl is portrayed by a native Russian woman named Ann Adeling, who clearly has a [[NotEvenBotheringWithTheAccent Russian accent]]. And yet, she is described by Magnus' henchmen as American simply because she [[LanguageBarrier doesn't speak]] the [[UsefulNotes/RussianLanguage Russian language]].

* FakeAmerican: Kara Danvers tells Vlad that she is an American after Vlad [[GratuitousForeignLanguage asks]] if she's not from UsefulNotes/{{Russia}}, is she instead, from UsefulNotes/{{Italy}}, UsefulNotes/{{Spain}}, UsefulNotes/{{Germany}}, or UsefulNotes/{{England}}.

* HiddenDepths: Upon hearing Supergirl say in [[UsefulNotes/RussianLanguage Russian]] "He is a [[{{Criminals}} criminal]]!" when pertaining to Orlov, Albina says to Vlad "What? [[FakeAmerican American]] can speak Russian? This [[KryptoniteFactor stone]] [[NextTierPowerUp opened]] her [[NewSuperPower extra abilities]]."

* PopCultureIsolation: At the end of the episode, Kara Danvers tells Vlad that one way that he can keep in touch with her is through a profile on Vkontakte[[note]]Translated in English as "In contact with".[[/note]], which is a Russian social network. Many Americans likely haven't heard of Vkontakte when compared to something like Website/{{Facebook}}, which she also mentions in that scene.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The nightmare that Supergirl has about her mother wanting to use her [[GoodPowersBadPeople superpowers for evil purposes]] at the beginning of the episode is never brought up or discussed again for the remainder of Season 2.

* EvilIsSexy: Galatea.

* DesignatedVillain: The gunman who is angry with the two men who killed his dog.

* CostumeBacklash: Overgirl ultimately tells Super-Teen that she likes her old S-costume. Nikolay made her [[EvilCostumeSwitch wear her black costume]], which she doesn't like.

* EvilIsSexy: Overgirl.

* DarkChick: Albina.

* SurprisinglyGoodEnglish: Galatea like Supergirl, is reasonably well fluent in English despite presumably being played by a native [[UsefulNotes/RussianLanguage Russian]] speaker.

* BilingualBonus: The usually [[SurprisinglyGoodEnglish English]] speaking Supergirl first says to her captors in [[UsefulNotes/RussianLanguage Russian]] "Where am I?"

* FallingInLoveMontage: Kara Danvers appears to develop one with Dan after she scares off the armed [[MalevolentMaskedMen masked man]]. Kara is soon asked if she can meet the office man in the park.

* CellPhonesAreUseless: A man nervously tells an armed [[MalevolentMaskedMen masked man]] that his father's phone is switched off, when he attempts to contact him over money. The masked man then says "[[WhatIsGoingOn What's going on]] here? Is that office of [[ThisLoserIsYou losers]]? Here was only $80 [[BookSafe in the safe]]! This office is in the [[IndustrialGhetto ghetto]]! What money do you [[LivingCurrency live in]]?"
* ClarkKenting: After the man in the office says that Kara Danvers looks like Supergirl, the armed [[MalevolentMaskedMen masked man]] says in response "You're very stupid. Supergirl always wears the [[ClothesMakeTheLegend legendary costume]] with the [[BroughtToYouByTheLetterS S-symbol]] [[ChestInsignia on her chest]]. [[PrecisionFStrike Asshole]]!"

* FallingInLoveMontage: Kara Danvers appears to develop one with the man in the office after she scares off the armed [[MalevolentMaskedMen masked man]]. Kara is soon asked if she can meet the office man in the park.

* UncoveringRelationshipStatus: When Nikolay is asked if he's dating the office man's girlfriend, Kara Danvers, he responds by saying that he never knew that she had a boyfriend. Nikolay is soon warned to [[YouLeaveHimAlone leave Kara alone]]. The man then asks Nikolay about [[WhatDoesSheSeeInHim why Kara would even like him]] other than, maybe [[GoldDigger his money]]. Nikolay then tells the man to [[IsThatAThreat stop threatening him]] since he will [[FromBadToWorse make things worse]] for Kara. This however, results in Nikolay being [[TalkToTheFist punched square in the face]]. This causes Nikolay to say "[[TargetedToHurtTheHero Your girlfriend will pay for that]]! [[BlindIdiotTranslation I will]] [[ImpliedRape fun with her]] in [[HotelTropes hotel room]] on the next weekend. I will [[PrecisionFStrike fuck her]] in her [[ClothesMakeTheLegend legendary Supergirl costume]]." This is followed by Nikolay [[EvilLaugh laughing]]. Nikolay is then, punched in the face again. The office man asks Nikolay about what Supergirl costume is he talking about. Nikolay is next asked if he enjoys [[{{LARP}} role-playing]] if not just being a [[AllMenArePerverts pervert]]. Nikolay says in response "[[LovesMyAlterEgo Your girlfriend]] is Supergirl. You even didn't know about it, idiot! Why does she like you? Because [[LoveMakesYouDumb you are stupid]]!" The office man then tells Nikolay that if he sees him with Kara one more time, he will buy a gun and [[IllKillYou shoot him]].

* AlienBlood: Linda tells Kara Danvers that she gave a sample of her blood to the lab. The people there haven't seen anything like it before. Kara then asks if that means that the blood is not from earth. Linda then informs Kara that she'll need her hair so that the lab can study her UsefulNotes/{{DNA}}. According to Linda, it will take several days to make an [[MagicAntidote antidote]]. Kara's DNA [[MixAndMatchMan will be combined]] with rat DNA. According to Linda, if the rat survives, then they will use it on Kara and from there, Nikolay can no longer control her.
