History Recap / Supergirl2015S2E1TheAdventuresOfSupergirl

* YouHave48Hours: Cat's exact deadline to Kara to decide what she wants to do with her life.

** Winn also finds out that Clark is Superman.

* RealityEnsues: When Kara and Clark are saving ''The Venture'', Kara says it looks like a job for both of them. While either of them could easily catch the craft, Kara's problem with the oil tanker shows how they must bring it down in a specific way, otherwise all the human ''inside'' the ship could be injured or killed.

* SuperFamilyTeam: with emphasis on ''family''; Clark mentions that while he has the files and other sources about Krypton, he likes it when Kara can tell him stories about his parents.

* InSpiteOfANail: Both Corto Maltese and Kasnia are now confirmed as locations shared by this Earth and [[Franchise/{{Arrowverse}} Earth-1]]. Up until now, [[Franchise/TheFlash Central City]] was the only place acknowledged that exists on both Earths ([[Series/TheFlash1990 and another]]).

* {{Troll}}: Clark [[Pun super]]trolls Kara when she asks how he knows about her and Jimmy.

* {{Troll}}: Clark supertrolls Kara when she asks how he knows about her and Jimmy.

* EatingTheEyeCandy: Alex, Lena, and Cat all make subtle passes (well, the first two are subtle at least) at Clark.

* ShippingTorpedo: Kara does not like Alex and Cat hitting on Clark. Justified since Clark is already in a long-term relationship.

* {{Troll}}: Clarke supertrolls Kara when she asks how he knows about her and Jimmy.
--> '''Clarke:''' Supertelepathy; it's a Kryptonian power you'll get when you're older.\\

'''Clarke:''' No, Jimmy told me.

* YouHave48Hours: Cat's exact deadline to Kara regarding on what the latter wants to do with her life.

* CaptainObvious: After saving Lena Luthor from a half-dozen heavily-armed drones, Supergirl helpfully informs her that, "Someone is trying to kill you."

* ChristmasCake: Kara mentions that at her age she would already be considered a spinster back in Krypton, although she may have been taking the time she spent in the Phantom Zone into account.

** The shot of Superman cradling Supergirl in his arms mirrors the cover of ''ComicBook/CrisisOnInfiniteEarths'' #7.

* SecretKeeper: Lois knows about Clark and Kara's respective SecretIdentity.

* EatingTheEyeCandy: Both Alex and Cat made subtle passes (well, the former is subtle at least) at Clark.

-->'''Cat:''' So did George Bush.
** Alex "liking the new place than the old one" (read: The ChannelHop from ''Creator/{{CBS}}'' to ''Creator/TheCW'' because the former didn't want to renew them).

* {{Retcon}}: As a result of the show's move to Creator/TheCW and filming to UsefulNotes/{{Vancouver}}, the teaser scene at the end of last season's finale was reshot. At the end of Season One, the Kryptonian pod is seen passing by Kara's apartment before the scene cuts to her and J'onn landing beside the pod after it's already landed. The beginning of this episode adds a sequence of the two trying to stop the pod from crashing within the city. Also, there was a DEO office in the middle of National City, two blocks from Alex's apartment, the entirety of Season One that Kara (and the viewer) never knew about. That's now the setting of the DEO scenes instead of the desert base.

Superman joins up with Supergirl to investigate Lena Luthor, Lex's sister, who is attempting to reinvent her brother's company as a force for good.

** There are many references to the Creator/RichardDonner ''Film/{{Superman}}'' movie, including Cat's shouting for "Miss Tessmacher", Lena Luthor stating that "statistically speaking, flying is still the safest way to travel." and Winn referencing Lex Luthor causing an earthquake in California.
