Zee asks Kara to take care of her rabbits while she's busy with her performance. What could go wrong...goes wrong.


Tropes:

  • 2D Visuals, 3D Effects: The giant bunny is fully in 3D during the scene where Supergirl attempts to punch it, being the only episode to this date to make use of this effect.
  • All Part of the Show: When the hoard of baby rabbits interrupts Zee's show, she pretends that they're part of the performance and that Supergirl is her assistant.
  • Bruiser with a Soft Center: Supergirl, snarky rebellious tomboy, spends the whole episode gushing over bunnies.
  • Cuteness Proximity: Kara acts normal when she first sees the rabbits, but the moment she's left alone with them, she starts gushing, baby-talking and squeeing about their cuteness.
  • The Door Slams You: A barely awake Kara gets the door of her bedroom slamming in her face thanks to Zee barging in way too enthusiastically. Good thing she's super-tough.
  • Explosive Breeder: There is a good reason why Zee keeps her rabbits in separate cages. Though the "babies" actually seem to be magic creatures that appear out of nowhere when Zee's rabbits get to cuddle and disappear the moment they're separated.
  • Five-Second Foreshadowing: When Kara leaves rabbits for a second, they exchange flirty glances and one of them suddenly gains eyelashes.
  • Gender-Blender Name: Harry Houdini turns out to be a girl. Kara sticks to the name even after learning about it.
  • Giver of Lame Names: Both Kara and Zee consider each other this. While Kara just thinks that Zatanna's names are stupid and hard to remember, Zee's is downright offended by Kara's alternative choices.
    Zatanna: Harry what? How dare you! Those rabbits are purebred magical creatures with carefully selected names. They are not to be mentioned in the same breath as Merlin and Harry Houdini!
    Kara: My names are way better than yours!
  • Gone Horribly Wrong: Zatanna tries casting a hate spell to get Blackberry and Dandelion to separate and end the flood of bunnies. It not only doesn't, it causes the bunnies to merge into a giant monster that eats Kara.
  • G-Rated Sex: Zatanna's rabbits create baby rabbits just by cuddling. Justified by them being magic rabbits.
  • Here We Go Again!: The episode's ending has Kara once again gushing over Blackberry and Dandelion, and implies she's just going to let the whole mess repeat itself the minute Zee's gone.
  • Not a Morning Person: At the beginning of the episode, Kara lazily drags herself out of bed with bad case of morning hair. According to Zee's phone, she arrived at 11:30.
  • Overly Long Name: Blackberry Hazel von Owsla III and Dandelion Pipkin de Heisenplay. Kara decides to just call them Merlin and Harry Houdini.
  • Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat: Inverted, rabbits are put inside Zatanna's hat to make them vanish.
  • Shameless Self-Promoter: As part of cleaning Kara's room, Zee turns rock poster into one of her own.
  • Shout-Out: Zee's rabbits are named after rabbits from Watership Down.
  • Skewed Priorities: At one point, Zatanna and Kara argue about Zatanna's bunnies' names while being carried away by the baby rabbits.
  • White Bunny: Blackberry and Dandelion are both snow-white, looking like classic rabbits used by stage magicians.
  • The Worm That Walks: Zatanna accidentally turns all baby bunnies into a giant monster made out bunnies with her rabbits in the center as its heart.
