| 8 | * Thanks to Kara's super-hearing, she knows when to declare that Cat will show up through her private elevator. Winn constantly wonders how she does it. |
| 9 | * Cat complains that someone used her private elevator, and left behind the scent of their cheap cologne. She wants whoever it was found and fired. Or bathed. She actually doesn't care which. |
| 10 | * Kara's brief deer-in-the-highlights look when James Olsen says that Kara has Superman's nose features. |
| 11 | ** Even HilariousInHindsight, since James knew who she was the whole time. |
| 12 | * Trying to prevent a plane from crashing and seeing a suspension bridge in her path: |
| 13 | -->'''Supergirl:''' [[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe Oh]], ''[[YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe COME ON!]]'' |
| 14 | * [[MistakenForGay Kara insisting to Winn that she's not a lesbian.]] |
| 15 | * After Kara tells Winn about who she is, he helps her with a costume, starting with a {{Stripperiffic}} one. |
| 16 | -->'''Kara:''' I'm not flying around saving people in this thing. And where's my cape?\ |
| 17 | '''Winn:''' Capes are ''lame'', and you can tell [[Franchise/{{Superman}} your cousin]] I said that. [[VerbalBackspace Actually never, never do that.]] |
| 18 | * Kara tries to foil a car chase... only to take a turn too fast and plow into a hill. |
| 19 | -->'''Winn:''' The cape helps with aerodynamics! I should have thought of that! |
| 20 | * Kara taking offense at a news reporter calling her out on [[HeroInsurance the damage done to the bridge during the plane rescue]]: |
| 21 | -->'''Kara:''' Well, ''you'' try saving a plane for the first time and see if you don't make a mess! |
| 22 | * Winn tells Kara that you can't quantify love with an algorithm: |
| 23 | -->'''Kara:''' Winn, you're in IT. Isn't your whole life based on algorithms?\ |
| 24 | '''Winn:''' Yeah, so if there was an algorithm for love, I think that I would know about it. |
| 25 | * This gem from Cat to Kara: |
| 26 | -->'''Cat:''' I have a meeting with the board today at lunch, so cancel sushi with my mother. Oh, and cancel my therapist; I won't be needing it if I'm not having lunch with my mother. |
| 27 | [[/folder]] |
| 28 | |
| 29 | [[folder:Episode 2 - "Stronger Together"]] |
| 30 | * Once again, Kara forecasts Cat's arrival thanks to her super-hearing. |
| 31 | -->'''Kara:''' She's here. |
| 32 | -->'''Winn:''' At least now I know how you did that. |
| 33 | ** Kara heats up Cat's coffee by [[MundaneUtility blasting it with her heat-vision.]] |
| 34 | * Winn's weak attempt to brush off Kara's claim that Maxwell Lord is one of his personal heroes: |
| 35 | -->'''Winn:''' I own a couple of Maxwell Lord watches...and his biography...[[NotHelpingYourCase and his autobiography]]. |
| 36 | * Kara's hilariously awkward cover-up for her snickering at Cat declaring that she needs to interview Supergirl: |
| 37 | -->'''Cat:''' So it is left to us to take control of Supergirl's narrative. Save her from self-immolation and scoop the ''Planet''. I want an interview.\ |
| 38 | '''Kara:''' ''[snickers]''\ |
| 39 | '''Cat:''' Yes, Kara?\ |
| 40 | '''Kara:''' Sorry. Sorry, ''[giggling]'' I just, I just started to think about this kitten video I saw online earlier. It's so funny what they make those cats do. ''[laughs]'' I'll send it to all of you. ''[stops laughing]'' Or not. |
| 41 | ** During Kara's explanation, James gives her an "Are you freaking serious?" face. |
| 42 | * "That was a... That was a really good pep talk. Excellent use of pep. Brilliant. Awesome." |
| 43 | * Cat talking about the damage Supergirl caused. |
| 44 | -->'''Cat:''' I don't like the fishes, but it reassures me that they are still under there swimming about. |
| 45 | * Kara told James and Winn to meet her out in the alley... without telling them the other would be there. |
| 46 | -->'''James:''' Hey, what's up?\ |
| 47 | '''Winn:''' Nothing, nothing. I--I like to come out here to... smoke. Which I like to do in private, so--\ |
| 48 | '''James:''' Actually, I'm meeting someone right now, so--\ |
| 49 | '''Winn:''' Right. You can meet them in--inside the building. Yeah?\ |
| 50 | '''James:''' No, my friend likes to make an entrance--\ |
| 51 | ''[Kara flies overhead and lands in front of them]''\ |
| 52 | ''[{{beat}}]''\ |
| 53 | '''Winn and James:''' ''He'' knows!? |
| 54 | * Winn's reaction to being told to meet Kara in the alley. |
| 55 | -->'''Winn''': [[CallBack Thank God you didn't say the roof.]] |
| 56 | * Kara's first superhero-in-training job is an armed robbery at a pizza place. She zooms up to the robber and [[FingerInABarrel covers the end of his shotgun with her hand, causing him to blast himself backwards.]] |
| 57 | ** The scene immediately cuts to Winn and James munching on pizza while giving her another mission. |
| 58 | * During Kara's super-heroics training montage, Winn sends her for "a classic--kitten up a tree." Except it's not a kitten: |
| 59 | -->'''Winn:''' Who names a snake "Fluffy?" |
| 60 | * When Alex shows up at her apartment, Kara goes to answer the door still in costume and Winn and James both screaming "Wait, the cape!" When the door opens, the trio exchange fantastic "Wait...''they'' know?" glances at Kara who just shrugs. |
| 61 | * Kara's {{squick}}-ed face when she overhears Cat theorizing that Supergirl is Superman's girlfriend. |
| 62 | * Kara and Alex reminisce how when Kara first came to Earth, she was terrified of the popcorn maker. |
| 63 | * Alex defeats an alien that is far stronger and armed with spikes by kicking him [[GroinAttack in the balls]]. |
| 64 | * While grappling with Kara, Astra snarks that she needs to [[SuperheroesWearCapes rethink the cape.]] Already amusing on the face of it as fashion snark between two superpowered women with very different senses of style, but bear in mind that Astra is fighting her niece, who is in fact wearing her kid cousin's baby blanket as a cape. |
| 65 | [[/folder]] |
| 66 | |
| 67 | [[folder: Episode 3 - "Fight or Flight"]] |
| 68 | * The delightful {{Irony}} that is Cat asking Supergirl if she has a day job. Oh, if she only knew... |
| 69 | * Kara defending blurting to Cat that she and Superman are cousins. |
| 70 | -->'''Kara:''' She's like a villain. She's like a super-interviewing villain. |
| 71 | -->'''Winn''': That is literally the most boring superpower ever. |
| 72 | * This CrossesTheLineTwice remark from Cat: |
| 73 | -->'''Cat:''' I'm a writer. It's like riding a bike or severe childhood trauma, you never really lose it. |
| 74 | * Henshaw's quips while he's chewing out Kara over the interview she gave: |
| 75 | -->'''Henshaw:''' What's next? A book deal? A reality show? ''[[Series/KeepingUpWithTheKardashians Keeping Up With the Kryptonians]]''? |
| 76 | ** That last sentence actually gets used as the title of an episode of ''WesternAnimation/JusticeLeagueAction''. |
| 77 | * Cat's bizarre writing methods, starting with a request for a very special brand of coffee (hourly), demanding one of her employees be moved due to "distracting hair," complaints of a noise that definitely doesn't actually exist, and wearing two pairs of glasses. |
| 78 | -->'''James:''' Is she always this bad when she's writing?\ |
| 79 | '''Kara:''' People have been known to schedule their vacations around it. |
| 80 | * Supergirl calling "Reactron" a stupid name...then responding "Oh" when learning that James came up with it. |
| 81 | * What little we hear of Cat's Supergirl article is hilarious, starting with the PunBasedTitle: ''[[Franchise/StarWars Millennial Falcon]]''. |
| 82 | ** Likely doubles as an ActorAllusion, considering her actress is married to [[Creator/HarrisonFord Han Solo]] himself. |
| 83 | * When Kara and James are talking about Superman around Winn, James slips up and drops Clark's name in such a way that makes it obvious he's Superman. Winn instantly realizes he means Clark Kent, and spends the next few minutes {{squee}}-ing in the background. |
| 84 | ** Especially if you take it as a bit of SelfDeprecation about how cavalier the team from ''Series/TheFlash2014'' was about their hero's identity in the first season. |
| 85 | * The worker at the coffee shop where Kara eats breakfast receives a deadpan response when she asks how Kara can eat so many sticky buns and not gain weight. |
| 86 | -->'''Kara:''' [[SarcasticConfession I'm an alien.]] |
| 87 | * Kara's and Alex's sisterly bickering: |
| 88 | -->'''Kara:''' Pass me that last potsticker.\ |
| 89 | '''Alex:''' Uh, no. That one is mine. You've had four!\ |
| 90 | '''Kara:''' If that potsticker is not in my mouth in two seconds, I will melt your face.\ |
| 91 | '''Alex:''' ''[handing her the last potsticker]'' I hope you get fat.\ |
| 92 | '''Kara:''' ''[chuckling]'' Not on this planet. |
| 93 | [[/folder]] |
| 94 | |
| 95 | [[folder:Episode 4 - "Livewire"]] |
| 96 | * This exchange after Kara knocks out an escaped alien prisoner: |
| 97 | -->'''Kara:''' He was tough.\ |
| 98 | '''Henshaw:''' She.\ |
| 99 | '''Kara:''' ''[surprised]'' Oh. ''[to the alien]'' Respect! |
| 100 | * Leslie Willis's radio rant about Supergirl: |
| 101 | -->'''Leslie:''' This is Leslie Willis, coming to you live and wired from Catco Plaza. The week of Thanksgiving which means it is time for my annual list of things I am ''not'' grateful for. And this year's list is only one item, Supergirl. The blue-and-red abscessed tooth in the otherwise-gleaming smile that is National City. How much do I despise, I mean loathe, her whole, "Look at me, I'm {{adorkable}}" thing? And that hideous, like, rejected-from-the-Olympics figure skating outfit she wears? I mean, a skirt and tights? Puh-lease. Seems like overkill, especially since no one is trying to get in there. And who would that be? You know, who's ''hombre'' enough to puncture the Chastity Belt of Steel? Or is what's required a softer touch? I mean, she does kind of give off a Sapphic vibe with that big ol' butch "S" chest plate. I mean, how would that even work with an alien? I mean, is everything the same down there, or [[BizarreAlienBiology are we talking tentacles?]] |
| 102 | * When Cat says "If I could legally adopt (Supergirl), I would," Kara is shown unable to hold back a helpless giggle. |
| 103 | * Cat had some fantastic lines this episode: |
| 104 | ** "Oh, and you'd better take some Dramamine, looks like it's going to be a bumpy ride." |
| 105 | ** "What fresh incompetence is this?" |
| 106 | ** In response to Livewire's "More than one way to skin a cat", remark: "Congratulations, you have the wit of a Website/YouTube comment." |
| 107 | * Kara's reaction to the containment device for Livewire: |
| 108 | -->'''Kara:''' Cool, it's like the ''Franchise/{{Ghostbusters}}''! |
| 109 | * Kara's opinion of chocolate pecan pie: |
| 110 | -->'''Kara:''' Chocolate pecan pie is the best dessert in the galaxy. [[NotHyperbole And as someone who's been to twelve different planets, I mean that literally.]] |
| 111 | [[/folder]] |
| 112 | |
| 113 | [[folder:Episode 5 - "How Does She Do It?"]] |
| 114 | * Winn on Cat: "I didn't know she could smile if it wasn't based on cruelty to others." |
| 115 | * Cat barks orders at Kara by demanding a salad with a cheeseburger on top of it. And she calls her assistant "Keira" on top of that. |
| 116 | * Kara absent-mindedly breaking the stapler James had just been abusing as she tries to give him a pep talk. |
| 117 | * "I liked school. Learning all about this new planet... ''[realizes what she just said]'' [[HughMann that I'm also from]]." |
| 118 | * Alex to Kara: "You've spent more time in the friend zone than the Phantom Zone." |
| 119 | [[/folder]] |
| 120 | |
| 121 | [[folder:Episode 6 - "Red Faced"]] |
| 122 | * Winn's complete failure at providing adequate clues for Kara during Scategories. Worse when he pulls out one card and just says "Oh, this one's easy. Your cousin." Lucy is sitting ''right there'', forcing him to [[VerbalBackspace improvise new wording]]. |
| 123 | -->'''Lucy:''' Let me see, I want to know what card that was... Superman? [[ComicallyMissingThePoint You should have said]] [[HoYay James' special boyfriend]]. |
| 124 | * Kara sets up boxing for herself and James. James gets a bag. She gets a ''car'' hanging from the scaffolding. |
| 125 | * This exchange at the end of the episode: |
| 126 | --> '''Kara:''' Would you like me to call your mother a car? |
| 127 | --> '''Cat:''' She can take her broom. |
| 128 | [[/folder]] |
| 129 | |
| 130 | [[folder:Episode 7 - "Human For a Day"]] |
| 131 | * Hank tells Kara that she can learn what it's like "for the rest of us" to be a normal human. Given TheReveal at the end of the episode... |
| 132 | * Cat's horrified reaction to finding out that Kara has a cold. "You never get sick! That's the best thing about you!" "...not the ''best'' thing." She then gives a point-by-point lecture on how if Kara gets Cat sick, Kara will be single-handedly responsible for the next recession. |
| 133 | * Henshaw interrupting Jemm's BadassBoast because he's heard it a dozen times already. |
| 134 | * James notes that Clark calls it a "solar flare" when he [[BroughtDownToNormal loses his powers]]. Kara notes that Clark is a nerd. |
| 135 | * Cat completely fails to recognize Winn, despite the fact that he sits right across from Kara and she walks by him every single day. |
| 136 | ** In true Cat Grant fashion, she misspeaks his name as "Witt". He calls it "close enough." |
| 137 | ** When called into her office, Winn tells James and Kara to send help if he isn't back in thirty minutes. |
| 138 | * Kara is a bit annoyed that no one ever told her how much a broken arm hurts (though FridgeBrilliance: she probably hasn't suffered pain ''at all'' since she was a girl on Krypton). |
| 139 | [[/folder]] |
| 140 | |
| 141 | [[folder:Episode 8 - "Hostile Takeover"]] |
| 142 | * One of Cat's e-mails reveals she asked out Creator/IdrisElba... and got turned down. |
| 143 | -->'''Cat:''' ''[petulantly]'' His loss. |
| 144 | ** Most of Cat's e-mails were hilarious PokeThePoodle moments. You'd think someone as cutthroat and nasty as Cat would have some really serious scandals hiding in her e-mails, but it turns out the worst dirt they turn up about Cat is that she invested in ''Jekyll and Hyde the Musical'' (she still insists the musical score had potential), sent in an audition tape to ''Series/UndercoverBoss'' (on a bet), referred to [[SitcomArchnemesis Lois Lane]] as [[NarrativeProfanityFilter something rude]] (she's said worse to Lois's face), and used the corporate jet to attend Burning Man (she technically owns the jet, but Winn doesn't want to think about what she did there). |
| 145 | * Cat describing Winn to Kara as "that handsome little [[Franchise/TheLordOfTheRings Hobbit]] who has more cardigans than you do." |
| 146 | * Winn noting the printed-up e-mails with "so much evil in three-hole punch-form." |
| 147 | * James and Winn being catty around each other all day. |
| 148 | -->'''Winn:''' You're in my way. ''[beat]'' I mean, excuse me. |
| 149 | * When the team goes to Lucy for help with a legal matter, which involves trying to investigate one of the members of the [=CatCo=] board. They insist it's all hypotheticals. |
| 150 | -->'''Winn:''' Because investigating the company that we all work for would be very very detrimental to our careers! |
| 151 | * Cat's reaction when Kara suggests she's keeping a boy toy on the side... and the extremely awkward way Kara goes about asking about it. |
| 152 | -->'''Cat:''' If I wanted to sleep with a beach boy, I'd still be dating John Stamos! |
| 153 | * When talking about stepping down from her position to stop her oldest son from being dragged into a media frenzy due to being mentioned in some of her leaked emails: |
| 154 | -->'''Cat:''' Like taxes, aging, and participating in Martha Stewart's Annual Secret Santa, this is something I have to do. |
| 155 | * J'onn's reaction to the news that Astra has taken the Kryptonite knife: |
| 156 | -->'''J'onn:''' ''Really'' liked that knife. |
| 157 | * J'onn casually revealing he has telepathy to Alex by mentioning that Kryptonians are immune to it. Superman apparently finds this hilarious. |
| 158 | -->'''Alex:''' You can read minds? |
| 159 | -->'''J'onn:''' Another day, Alex. |
| 160 | [[/folder]] |
| 161 | |
| 162 | [[folder:Episode 9 - "Blood Bonds"]] |
| 163 | * With Kara desperate to ward off Cat knowing she's Supergirl, she uses her heat vision to cook a cup of coffee until it explodes, then forgets to put her glasses back on. Winn notes "Yeah, she's doomed." |
| 164 | * Kara swings by the DEO, where Alex is interim director while Hank is missing, carrying a bag of takeout of Alex. |
| 165 | -->'''Kara:''' I know you forget to eat when you're stressed, so I stopped by that food truck you like.\ |
| 166 | '''Alex:''' The one in Chicago? You are my favorite person. |
| 167 | * Kara finds out about J'onn and asks why they didn't tell her as she can keep a secret. J'onn and Alex both promptly respond, "No, you can't." |
| 168 | * Astra's soldiers don't know that J'onn isn't human, so when he's able to resist telepathy, he takes the opportunity to be a PoisonousCaptive by implying the interrogator is working against Non. Funny in a BlackComedy way, given that Astra's own army includes numerous {{Human Alien}}s and it should be a logical conclusion that J'onn might be one too. |
| 169 | * J'onn's utterly deadpan reaction after Non kills his telepathic interrogator [[YouHaveFailedMe out of pique when he can't read J'onn's mind]]. |
| 170 | -->'''J'onn:''' Oh, yeah, you're ''so'' much more advanced than us savages. |
| 171 | [[/folder]] |
| 172 | |
| 173 | [[folder: Episode 10 - "Childish Things"]] |
| 174 | * Cat once again with her snarky remarks while Kara is at work: |
| 175 | -->'''Cat:''' ''[to Kara]'' As much as I know you millennials like to deny your emotions, I pay you not to have them. |
| 176 | * After Kara leaves, Cat mutters "She should be paying ''me'' by the hour..." |
| 177 | * Winn's deadpan response to Kara's earnest reassurance that she sometimes feels all alone, too. |
| 178 | -->'''Winn:''' I've got this creepy little doll I can give you. |
| 179 | * J'onn's performance as Lord is hysterically deadpan, even when he's making it look like Lord is insulting himself. |
| 180 | -->'''Paulina:''' Mr. Lord? Aren't you supposed to be out with Agent Danvers? |
| 181 | -->'''"Lord":''' I ended the evening early. To be honest, it was a little disappointing. |
| 182 | -->'''Paulina:''' As long as we're being honest, she did strike me as a little humorless for you. |
| 183 | -->'''"Lord":''' She's actually a lovely woman. |
| 184 | -->''[Paulina's jaw drops in astonishment]'' |
| 185 | -->'''"Lord":''' If anything, it was my narcissism and ill-kept facial hair that ruined any chance I had with her. |
| 186 | -->'''Paulina:''' I'm sure you weren't at fault, sir. |
| 187 | -->'''"Lord":''' Getting so soundly rejected has caused me to question many of my life choices. I need to be alone, if you don't mind. |
| 188 | * Kara coughs after sucking up a bunch of poison gas, noting "I don't usually inhale." |
| 189 | * The look on Kara's face is priceless when Alex mentions how she had to eat slugs (technically snail eggs) to get information from Lord. |
| 190 | [[/folder]] |
| 191 | |
| 192 | [[folder: Episode 11 - "Strange Visitor From Another Planet"]] |
| 193 | * Kara's pitiful attempt to deny having written the letter Adam received from Cat. |
| 194 | --> '''Kara:''' What? ''[laughs]'' No! That would be... illegal! Maybe. And. And. Completely insane. Yeah. Yeah. That was a thing. I did. |
| 195 | * At the end, when Adam is asking Kara out: |
| 196 | -->'''Kara:''' Oh, uh, I have to see if I can... |
| 197 | -->'''Cat:''' ''[from off-screen]'' [[ShipperOnDeck She's available.]] |
| 198 | ** Plus her "Oh dear God, this could get complicated" face when she first realizes Adam's interested in Kara. |
| 199 | * Cat's opinion of Miranda Crane: |
| 200 | -->'''Cat:''' She is a lightning rod for bigots, hippies, and aliens, and yes, that is the order in which I detest them. |
| 201 | * Cat announces her best reporter just jumped to a new job. |
| 202 | -->'''Cat:''' His ruin shall be swift and merciless thanks to Lucy who will serve him a lawsuit by the end of the day. |
| 203 | -->'''Lucy:''' That's not how it really works... |
| 204 | -->'''Cat:''' By the end. Of. Today. |
| 205 | * On the subject of Kara's name: |
| 206 | -->'''Adam:''' So is it "Kiera" or "Kara?"\ |
| 207 | '''Kara:''' "Kiera" to your mom, "Kara" to literally everyone else on the planet...and beyond. |
| 208 | [[/folder]] |
| 209 | |
| 210 | [[folder:Episode 12 - "Bizarro"]] |
| 211 | * J'onn admitting he found the Supergirl skirt "surprisingly comfortable." |
| 212 | * Winn claims he's not interested in Kara's claim that the Supergirl on TV isn't her...for all of a few seconds before admitting that he is interested. |
| 213 | * Kara's shock that Cat not only got her own latte, but got one for her as well...and it's her go-to drink, to boot. Later, she compares it to ''Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers''. |
| 214 | * J'onn gives his opinion of Lord: |
| 215 | -->'''J'onn:''' Maxwell Lord may [[AGodAmI have a god complex]], but he's not an actual god. |
| 216 | * Kara has a list of annoyances regarding Bizarro, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking ending with the fact that]] [[HulkSpeak she talks like]] [[Series/SesameStreet the Cookie Monster]]. |
| 217 | * Cat says she was ready to "put out an Amber Alert" on the missing Kara. |
| 218 | [[/folder]] |
| 219 | |
| 220 | [[folder:Episode 13 - "For The Girl Who Has Everything"]] |
| 221 | * Lord characterizing his cell as a "collectible display case." |
| 222 | * When Alex refuses to release Lord from his imprisonment in exchange for helping out Kara, Lord attempts to compromise by asking for at least a case of Dr. Pepper and access to his Creator/{{Netflix}} account. |
| 223 | * J'onn sucks horribly at Kara's job. He says that it almost makes him miss his alien prison. |
| 224 | ** The [[ThisIsGonnaSuck look on his face]] when he realizes what Alex is asking him to do. |
| 225 | -->'''Alex:''' How'd it go with Cat Grant? |
| 226 | -->'''J'onn:''' Let's deal with one disaster at a time. |
| 227 | [[/folder]] |
| 228 | |
| 229 | [[folder:Episode 14 - "Truth, Justice, and the American Way."]] |
| 230 | * Cat still calls Kara "Kee-ra" after two years but pronounces Siobhan's name perfectly. |
| 231 | * When discussing Lord's disappearance, Cat briefly speculates that he's off somewhere having an affair with Creator/JenniferLawrence... [[NoodleIncident again]]. |
| 232 | * Cat muses over why Lord didn't show up at an event. |
| 233 | -->'''Lucy:''' Maybe he's embarrassed? |
| 234 | -->'''Cat:''' You'd have to have shame in order to be embarrassed. |
| 235 | * Lord calls Kara into his cell in order to request a reward for saving her from the Black Mercy. Kara says he's already been given the Creator/{{Netflix}} he requested. |
| 236 | * Kara's reaction when she finds out that the bad guy is masquerading as a cop. |
| 237 | -->'''Kara:''' Ooh! I've wanted to catch a corrupt cop ever since we binge-watched ''Series/TheWire''. |
| 238 | [[/folder]] |
| 239 | |
| 240 | [[folder:Episode 15 - "Solitude"]] |
| 241 | * Siobhan's first appearance involves her needling Kara again, who gets... twitchy. And the best thing is, her quote? NotHyperbole. |
| 242 | -->'''Kara:''' ''[to Winn]'' I could throw her into space. I ''dream'' about it. |
| 243 | * Cat dismisses the hologram of Indigo as "The Peroxide Avenger." |
| 244 | * After Cat calls him "Toyman Jr," Winn comments that he liked it better when she didn't know who he was. |
| 245 | * Winn mutters to himself like a crazy person while he codes. |
| 246 | -->'''James:''' Isn't that the first sign of--\ |
| 247 | '''Kara:''' Genius? Yes, it is. |
| 248 | * The key to the Fortress of Solitude is an ungodly heavy chunk of dwarf-star alloy. Superman just leaves it by the front door since no one can lift it anyway. |
| 249 | ** Kara snarking that Superman/Clark "just leaves a key under the doormat." The "doormat" in this case being a snowdrift, but otherwise it sounds suspiciously like something "Smallville" would do. |
| 250 | * When Alex and "Lord" complain that Winn's hacking is too slow, he says he's learning an alien programming language in the time it takes to watch a ''Series/DoctorWho'' episode. |
| 251 | -->'''Winn:''' ...that's really fast. |
| 252 | * Siobhan threatens to kill Winn every time she's friendly with him, first when she admits some of her FreudianExcuse regarding her dad, and again when she kisses him. |
| 253 | * Indigo is none too pleased at being reduced to traveling the web alongside the likes of Candy Crush. |
| 254 | * Winn calling Indigo a "glorified Windows Vista". |
| 255 | [[/folder]] |
| 256 | |
| 257 | [[folder:Episode 16 - "Falling"]] |
| 258 | * Cat is happy about her appearance on ''The Talk''. |
| 259 | -->'''Cat:''' I usually despise sports metaphors, but it was a touchdown, a home run, a...whatever you call something good in hockey. |
| 260 | * When Cat needs Winn (whom she refers to as "my computer drone"), she sends Kara off to look for him. Kara hears him in a locked supply closet and uses her XRayVision. [[BrainBleach Then she screams and starts rubbing her eyes as if she can get rid of the memory that way]]. Siobhan comes out a second later, Winn trailing behind. |
| 261 | -->'''Kara:''' I am never using anything from that closet ever again without surgical gloves! |
| 262 | * Kara's initial reaction to being exposed to [[JerkassBall Red Kryptonite]] is less "psychotic god" and more "bored teenager." |
| 263 | -->'''K'hund:''' Your mother--\ |
| 264 | '''Supergirl:''' Locked you in the Phantom Zone, ruined your life, blah blah blah... I've heard this story before. Wanna fight about it? |
| 265 | * Winn is freaked out when Kara exits Cat's personal elevator. |
| 266 | -->'''Winn:''' You are impervious to bullets and I am literally afraid of your safety right now. |
| 267 | * Winn's reaction to hearing that Kara threw Cat off a roof, as well as Lord's casually impatient dismissal of his concern. |
| 268 | --> '''Winn:''' She killed Miss Grant?!\ |
| 269 | '''Lord:''' No, Cat has nine lives, she's fine. |

| 272 | [[folder:Episode 17 - "Manhunter"]] |
| 273 | * Cat can't believe Kara is taking an entire day off sick. She apparently assumed that "sick" means "coming in late." Winn has to awkwardly explain that taking an entire day is normal. |
| 274 | * Winn promises he'll look after the phones in Kara's place, only to get called away by Siobhan. James gets a massive ThisIsGonnaSuck look on his face. Cat's phone rings, he takes a deep breath, slowly walks over, and answers it with as much forced cheer as he can muster, while Cat gives him a giant cat smile. |
| 275 | * The GilliganCut from the news reporting on J'onn being a "scary, powerful and potentially dangerous monster" to him sitting in his cell struggling to open a pack of cookies. |
| 276 | -->'''J'onn:''' How'd you know they were my favorite?\ |
| 277 | '''Alex:''' I've seen you eat them at 3 AM. Only a favorite will do at 3 AM. |
| 278 | * Two years before the series began, Kara bumps into Winn in a MeetCute fashion. They even shared {{Adorkable}} moments when they introduced each other through a firm handshake. |
| 279 | * While Cat is baiting Siobhan at the end of the episode over the fake e-mail from Kara that Siobhan sent, she mentions that she found it suspicious that Kara would have such deep-buried anger issues, so she called in someone who has been obsessively studying Kara for the past two years. Cue Winn walking up. |
| 280 | * At the very end, Siobhan is drunk on the rooftop, and Winn runs up screaming for her not to jump. Siobhan just rolls her eyes. |
| 281 | -->'''Siobhan:''' Please, I have far too much self-esteem to kill myself. |
| 282 | [[/folder]] |
| 283 | |
| 284 | [[folder:Episode 18 - "World's Finest"]] |
| 285 | * Kara is so desperate to restore her reputation that she helped a family assemble an IKEA table. |
| 286 | * Cat tries to help Kara by quoting from her essay: "The Lighthouse Technique: Shine Your Light and Let Him Come To You and Before You Know It He Will Be Docked in Your Port." |
| 287 | * Cat and her cupcakes. When she sees Kara looking at them, she steers it into a conversation about wanting things you can't have (that is, James) and when Kara tries to take one, she slaps her hand away. And Kara is clearly ''furious'' at not being allowed to have a cupcake! |
| 288 | * As she falls from the balcony, Kara's expression is less panic, more mild frustration (which makes sense for someone with NighInvulnerability), but her DissonantSerenity is still kinda funny. |
| 289 | * Kara's shirt is set on fire from the friction of Barry's speed, leaving Barry quite confused at how he can help without groping her. Likewise, he's confused as to why she's only mildly annoyed instead of freaking out. |
| 290 | * Kara taking off into the air and throwing her civilian clothes off...which land right on top of him. |
| 291 | * Kara and Barry reacting to the other's superhero name with "You're the who now?" They're both among the most famous people on their Earths, so they just have no idea how to react when someone doesn't recognize them. |
| 292 | * Barry's RedundantRescue of Kara, followed by his reaction to her revealing her superpowers: |
| 293 | -->'''Barry:''' I thought ''I'' was the impossible. |
| 294 | * Cat noting Siobhan's return. |
| 295 | -->'''Cat:''' Kiera, call security. I haven't seen eyes that crazy since I had fondue with Ramona Singer. |
| 296 | ** [[UnusualEuphemism Even funnier if you've watched]] [[Film/CaptainAmericaTheFirstAvenger the first Captain America film]]. |
| 297 | * Upon meeting Barry for the first time, Cat manages to whip out three in a minute: |
| 298 | ** Cat describes Barry, Kara, James and Winn as the "attractive, yet non-threatening, racially-diverse [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall cast of a CW show]]" (which just gets even more HilariousInHindsight after the channel hop). |
| 299 | ** Cat realizes she doesn't know who Barry is and asks. Kara (a foster child), Winn (the only child of a supervillain), and James (who's black) all claim that Barry is their cousin. Kara tries to cover by saying [[TrueCompanions they are so close they feel like family]]. |
| 300 | ** Cat decides to name the new hero. Barry, having gone through this already, tries to ease Cat away from "The Blur" by suggesting "The Flash" (complete with a "not this again" expression). Cat retorts that The Flash "sounds like someone whose only superpower is jumping out of an alley in a trench coat." Barry's expression is of "Yeah, she's right." (Of note: When Barry later introduces himself to Lucy, he noticeably does ''not'' identify himself as The Flash.) |
| 301 | ** Meanwhile, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent as he enters the office, he can clearly be seen gawping at all of the TV screens]]. |
| 302 | * Barry speaking up, only to see Cat giving him that icy stare. |
| 303 | -->'''Barry:''' Speaking was the wrong choice, I see that now. |
| 304 | * Barry, when explaining [[TheMultiverse multiple Earths]], says [[Recap/TheFlash2014S2E13WelcomeToEarthTwo he's been to the one where they are all evil]]. "It sucked." |
| 305 | ** Which gets even more HilariousInHindsight after ''Series/CrisisOnEarthX.'' |
| 306 | * To prove he's fast enough to jump Earths, Barry runs to get everyone ice cream and comes back. James is nonplussed, Kara reacts like it's the greatest thing she's ever seen, and Winn looks slightly terrified. |
| 307 | ** And immediately before that, we have Winn's reaction when he finds out that Barry is from another universe. James is confused as hell, while Winn pauses for a moment, and then starts geeking out. |
| 308 | * Winn's glee at James' obvious jealousy of Barry. |
| 309 | -->'''Winn:''' I didn't know your face muscles could make that expression. |
| 310 | ** Even Lucy points out that she makes the same jealous sneer James made, only to add that she looks cuter with the look. |
| 311 | * Barry is shown frequently checking references and names to see if things match up. Such as Music/MariahCarey and the Three Musketeers. |
| 312 | * Barry wants a selfie with Kara's spaceship. Winn is about to take the picture when Lucy walks up with a bunch of soldiers, and he quickly backtracks. |
| 313 | ** At the end of the story, he's still geeking out over the fact that she's an alien. |
| 314 | * Siobhan's aunt uses a [[BriefAccentImitation hilariously-exaggerated Irish accent]] to lure in customers looking for mystical trinkets. Siobhan actually asks "WhatTheHellIsThatAccent" |
| 315 | * When Siobhan is told that if she doesn't kill the one who wronged her, her powers will continue to grow at the cost of her soul, she's clearly considering that it might be worth it. |
| 316 | * Cat mentions that Bernie Sanders is trying to get her into hot yoga. |
| 317 | * Livewire hearing Siobhan introduce herself. |
| 318 | -->'''Livewire:''' It's like your parents knew you'd grow up to be a big snob. |
| 319 | * When Livewire asks how she got out of prison, Siobhan shows her sonic scream to Livewire, who covers her ears and wilts to the ground. |
| 320 | -->'''Siobhan:''' Luck of the Irish. |
| 321 | -->'''Livewire:''' Okay, I'm listening. Sort of. |
| 322 | * Livewire comparing herself and Banshee to "an evil Music/TaylorSwift Squad." |
| 323 | * The Flash talking tough to Livewire and Silver Banshee when he and Supergirl confront them. |
| 324 | -->'''Flash:''' What do you say we step away from the nice lady, settle this like women. |
| 325 | -->''[Supergirl looks at him]'' |
| 326 | -->'''Flash:''' What? There's more of you guys here than me. |
| 327 | -->''[Supergirl grins]'' |
| 328 | * Cat revealing she knew Barry was the Flash. |
| 329 | -->'''Cat:''' Oh, ''please''. Barry shows up, the Flash shows up, his insistence on that silly name, and he was so unfailingly charming and nice, that he had to be either a superhero or a Mormon. |
| 330 | ** Fridge Funny: Since Kara is also "unfailingly charming and nice," that means Cat naturally assumes she's a Mormon. |
| 331 | ** Or alternatively, that Cat already knows Kara is a superhero and is messing with her... |
| 332 | *** Reinforced by Cat noting that she "can spot the extraordinary pretending to be a nobody in [her] midst just like THAT!" and snaps her fingers in Kara's face. |
| 333 | ** Kara realizes the same thing, visibly wondering which category she falls into. |
| 334 | [[/folder]] |
| 335 | |
| 336 | [[folder:Episode 19 - "Myriad"]] |
| 337 | * After Maxima threatens Lucy and her guards with what she will do to them if they open her cell, Lucy goes and opens it. The DoubleTake Maxima does at this is simply hilarious. |
| 338 | ** Kara is rather {{Squick}}-ed out to learn Maxima hoped to marry her cousin. |
| 339 | * Cat's opening line. The city's under mind control, which she's immune to, but she's barely noticed. |
| 340 | -->'''Cat:''' Keira, call Creator/HarrisonFord, tell him I'm flattered, but I don't date older men, especially when they're married. |
| 341 | * When Kara gets a text from Superman, Cat's first instinct is to ask for both phone numbers. |
| 342 | * Lord indulges in some CasualDangerDialogue: |
| 343 | -->'''Lord:''' [[DeadpanSnarker So mind control is the solution to global warming? Why didn't I think of that?]] |
| 344 | * Cat and Kara come up with an alternative to Lord's bomb (which would kill 8% of the population). |
| 345 | -->'''Lord:''' Well? What is it?\ |
| 346 | '''Kara:''' Hope.\ |
| 347 | ''[{{beat}}]''\ |
| 348 | '''Lord:''' Yeah, I'm gonna go with the bomb that kills bad guys instead. |
| 349 | * Cat apparently actually believes her assistant's name is "Keira" and keeps calling her that even as the world is ending. |
| 350 | * Cat's response when Kara tries to point out her employees are being mind-controlled. |
| 351 | -->'''Cat:''' Hmm, well, yes, they are a bit more quiet than usual. Maybe my reign of terror has finally reached its peak effectiveness. |
| 352 | [[/folder]] |
| 353 | |
| 354 | [[folder:Episode 20 - "Better Angels"]] |
| 355 | * J'onn doesn't like Kara's plan much more than Lord. |
| 356 | -->'''J'onn:''' How will you break Non's control?\ |
| 357 | '''Lord:''' A symbol.\ |
| 358 | '''J'onn:''' ...a symbol?\ |
| 359 | '''Lord:''' And a speech.\ |
| 360 | '''J'onn:''' A ''speech''? |
| 361 | * Leave it to Cat to see the truth behind Kara's talk to her. |
| 362 | -->'''Cat:''' That was either my eulogy or your dictated suicide note. |
| 363 | * Cat's idea of promoting Kara is to throw all her stuff in a banker's box (while talking about how it's what normally happens when people get fired) and walking her to her new office. |
| 364 | * After Cat promotes Kara, she says the pay "won't be much different." Then she admits it won't be any different, at all. Then she says she needs to earn a window. |
| 365 | * J'onn in an apron. That is all. |
| 366 | * A blink-and-you-miss-it moment comes in Kara's chat messages with Clark, where he wonders if recovering from the coma Myriad put him in is what a hangover feels like. Kara responds that he's asking the wrong girl. |
| 367 | * Cat's first concern after her employees are freed from Myriad? |
| 368 | -->'''Cat:''' The morning meeting was to begin sixteen seconds ago. You people were more punctual when you were drones. |

| 370 | |
| 371 | !! Season 2 |
| 372 | |
| 373 | [[folder:Episode 1 - "The Adventures of Supergirl"]] |
| 374 | * The fact that Kara sees Kal-El as still her nerdy "little" cousin and honestly is amazed at the HeroWorship he gets. |
| 375 | -->'''Supergirl:''' ''[to a bystander]'' I used to change his diapers.\ |
| 376 | '''Superman:''' Uh, not exactly sure you have to tell them that.\ |
| 377 | '''Supergirl:''' Yeah, I think I-I really do. |
| 378 | * Kara's YouHaveGotToBeKiddingMe reaction to Cat falling over Clark and explaining she once sent a drunken text to him. |
| 379 | ** The famous TwoPersonLoveTriangle gets a new twist here when Cat hears that Lois is still dating Clark even though she's in love with Superman. Her conclusion? {{Polyamory}}. [[ActuallyPrettyFunny Even Kara cracks up at that one.]] |
| 380 | * It turns out that the DEO actually has a ''very'' fancy, state-of-the-art facility at the top of a skyscraper in National City. Kara is quite upset that they made her keep flying out to "that cave" instead. When J'onn explains that there are many such places, she voices the following complaint: |
| 381 | -->'''Kara:''' A bat bit me in the last one!\ |
| 382 | '''J'onn:''' Whiner. |
| 383 | ** Ten times funnier when you remember that she has SuperToughness; the bat probably came off worse. |
| 384 | ** Also: A bat? In a cave? In a [[Creator/DCComics DC]] property? Hmmmm.... |
| 385 | * Cat's treatment of her new assistant, Miss Tessmacher: "She cries more than Creator/HalleBerry at award shows." |
| 386 | * After Superman saves a family from a drone, the son is impressed. The dad? [[Franchise/{{Batman}} "That's it. We're moving back to Gotham!"]] [[SarcasmMode Because that's a much safer city to live in.]] |
| 387 | * Clark apologizing to some [=CatCo=] employees for his klutziness. When Kara compliments him on how well he has the act down, he admits that, this time, it was quite real. |
| 388 | * Clark [[{{Troll}} trolling]] Kara by claiming to have "super-telepathy" and telling her that she'll develop it herself one day. It is a possibly unintentional ShoutOut to the tendency of the writers in the [[UsefulNotes/TheSilverAgeOfComicBooks Silver Age]] to put "Super" in front of any number of abilities both superpower and mundane, and give it to Superman for the duration of an issue. |
| 389 | * Everybody (except J'onn) trips over themselves to gush over Superman. Wynn totally fanboys out, and Alex tells Kara that "Your cousin smells fantastic!" |
| 390 | [[/folder]] |
| 391 | |
| 392 | [[folder:Episode 2 - "The Last Children of Krypton"]] |
| 393 | * When Superman and Supergirl take down a pair of robbers, they first try [[ShootingSuperman shooting them]], then one tries to ''punch'' Superman, only to get picked up for his trouble, Superman not even hurt. If anything, he's confused. |
| 394 | -->'''Superman:''' See, now, if the bullets don't work, right -- [[FridgeLogic why the punching?]] ''[throws the thug into a bush]'' I never understood that. |
| 395 | ** There's also the bit where he points to the car's bumper, utterly wrecked after crashing into him, and says, "I think I might've scratched it a little bit," in a genuinely polite and friendly tone. Kara, meanwhile, is barely keeping from cracking up. |
| 396 | * Watching Clark walk away, Cat compares it to "transcendental meditation." Kara looks like [[{{Squick}} she's fighting not to throw up]]. |
| 397 | * When Superman and J'onn's argument becomes heated, Winn first frets that they're going to fight... then gets ''excited'' and says it's so cool '''they're going to fight!''' |
| 398 | * Winn then {{Squee}}s that he's going to help make Superman's anti-Kryptonite suit. |
| 399 | ** Kara asks Winn if he's [[TearsOfJoy crying]] [[AscendedFanboy after Superman approves of the completed anti-K armor]]. [[BlatantLies He gives her a meek]] [[MenDontCry "No..."]] |
| 400 | * Superman offers to shake Winn's hand. Winn opts for a ManHug. [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments Then Superman returns it without complaint.]] |
| 401 | * At one point, Winn searches for Promethium; the monitor [[FreezeFrameBonus displays]] the chemical formula, C[[subscript:12]]H[[subscript:22]]O[[subscript:11]]. [[ExpospeakGag In other words, sugar]]. |

| 405 | * Supergirl geeking out about meeting the President. You can tell J'onn's had enough when she asks him if she should get a blowout. |
| 406 | -->'''J'onn:''' ''[rolling his eyes in exasperation]'' Oh dear God. |
| 407 | * Winn's reaction to Alex's StealthHiBye. |
| 408 | -->'''Winn:''' And... you are... already gone! |
| 409 | * When Alex finds Maggie in the warehouse she and her team of agents are searching for the missing Kryptonian, she asks Maggie how she found the warehouse. Maggie's response? |
| 410 | -->'''Maggie:''' I'm a detective, Agent Danvers. I detect. |
| 411 | ** Then, Maggie correctly guesses that Alex is a part of the DEO and not a Secret Service agent like she claimed, but Alex pointedly ignores her. |
| 412 | * Kara freaks out over almost letting Scorcher kill the President. |
| 413 | -->'''Kara:''' That's like...misdemeanor treason! |
| 414 | * The President's remark about her "[[Series/WonderWoman other jet]]." Doubles as an ActorAllusion. |
| 415 | [[/folder]] |
| 416 | |
| 417 | [[folder:Episode 4 - "Survivors"]] |
| 418 | * Mon-El asks if they play "garotta" on Earth. The humans, of course, have no idea what that is, while Kara is just annoyed. |
| 419 | -->'''Kara:''' It's like soccer. With dragons. |
| 420 | * When J'onn refuses to tell Kara and Alex about his encounter with M'gann, Kara threatens to make a pouty face. |
| 421 | -->'''Kara:''' Don't make me pout. |
| 422 | -->'''Alex:''' She's really good at it. |
| 423 | * Winn teaching Mon-El slang leads to an InnocentlyInsensitive moment. |
| 424 | -->'''Mon-El:''' She's a babe. |
| 425 | -->'''Kara:''' Excuse me?! |
| 426 | -->'''Mon-El:''' Oh, your mother, I mean. |
| 427 | -->'''Kara:''' ...Okay. |
| 428 | -->'''Mon-El:''' ''[confused]'' Winn told me that "babe" is what you call a beautiful woman on Earth. I'm sensing that's not right. |
| 429 | -->'''Kara:''' Maybe don't let Winn teach you too much about women on this planet. |
| 430 | * A bit of GallowsHumor, but a badly-wounded Supergirl grins and tells Alex after getting her ass handed to her against Draaga "I hope not too many people bet on me." |
| 431 | * After Winn's heavy drinking night out on the town with Mon-El, [[HangoverSensitivity he's sitting morosely with an ice compress against his head]]. |
| 432 | -->'''Winn:''' [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Nothing. I'm not hungover. You're the one being defensive!]] |
| 433 | * When J'onn says that a 6 foot alien had a 5'2" compatriot, Winn defensively blurts, "I'm five-'''nine'''!" |
| 434 | * Kara uses her SuperSpeed to get into Lena's office, and is quickly followed in by Lena's incredibly flustered assistant. Lena tells her assistant that Kara is to be let in immediately in the future; apparently she thinks this will be a recurring event. Justified, in that she mentions that her brother Lex has the same arrangement with that other pesky reporter, Clark Kent. |
| 435 | [[/folder]] |
| 436 | |
| 437 | [[folder:Episode 5 - "Crossfire"]] |
| 438 | * Mon-El is really, ''really'' bad at pretending to be normal. He introduces himself with his social security number (and then complains that he memorized his fake ID for nothing), calls bringing coffee to his co-workers "bribery", doesn't understand why Kara uses the elevator instead of flying, and is really disappointed that he is not allowed to use his powers to "go through this giant pile of boring paper". |
| 439 | * Mon-El lets Eve do all his work for him. |
| 440 | -->'''Mon-El:''' She wanted to please me. On Daxam, when a woman--\ |
| 441 | '''Kara:''' Stop. Just whatever you were going to--just stop. |
| 442 | * Mon-El has been watching ''Series/GreysAnatomy'', which leads him to believe sex in the workplace is perfectly normal for humans. |
| 443 | ** To give further context to Mon-El's situation, [[CoitusInterruptus Kara's super-hearing caught him and Eve getting down to some sexy time in the closet]] (he interprets "Do you have protection?" as "Like, a sword?"). What makes it even more hilarious is that this isn't the first time Kara is grossed out about catching her coworkers in the act. |
| 444 | --->'''Eve:''' This isn't what it looks like...\ |
| 445 | '''Kara:''' This is the ''definition'' of things being what they look like! |
| 446 | * Kara and Supergirl both get invited to Lena's party. Kara and Winn initiate "[[Film/MrsDoubtfire Operation Doubtfire]]" to distract Lena at key moments so that Kara can switch costumes. |
| 447 | * At the gala, Lena and Winn crawl out from under the stage (after having disabled the bad guys' guns) while everyone stares. |
| 448 | -->'''Winn:''' [[NotWhatItLooksLike This isn't]]--we weren't--we saved the day! |
| 449 | * When Kara gives Mon-El a guide to National City, he asks what a strip club is. Kara proceeds to rip off that page and tells him to read the other pages. |

| 452 | [[folder: Episode 6 - "Changing"]] |
| 453 | * Drunk!Kara. Just Drunk!Kara in general. Basically, imagine her usual [[{{Adorkable}} adorkableness]] dialed up to eleven. |
| 454 | ** Even Alex can't help laughing at the sight. |
| 455 | --->'''Alex:''' I'm driving you home. |
| 456 | --->'''Kara:''' Well, I'm not flying, that's for sure! |
| 457 | * When the DEO receives the alert of something happening at the research station: |
| 458 | -->'''J'onn:''' Supergirl and I will fly up there... |
| 459 | -->''[Everyone looks over at Kara who's passed out in a chair]'' |
| 460 | -->'''J'onn:''' ''[sighing]'' Alex and I will take the jet. |
| 461 | * The fact that, according to Kara, Clark refuses to drink and fly. Even though, of course, he can't get drunk. |
| 462 | * Mon-El finally steps up to be a hero... and notes "I regret this already" when Parasite starts walking toward him. |
| 463 | * Drunk Mon-El is quite funny as well, especially when he tries to convince Kara that his powers are under control and he doesn't need training. |
| 464 | -->'''Mon-El:''' ''[shatters his glass in his hand]'' ...This was not a prime example of that. |

| 467 | [[folder: Episode 7 - "The Darkest Place"]] |
| 468 | * Kara and Alex talking about Guardian with James and Winn, who both get offended whenever Kara or Alex says something they disagree with. Especially Winn's reaction to Alex saying Guardian has a sidekick. The entire debate is inter-cut with the most recent crime Guardian stopped and James and Winn's respective parts of the event. |
| 469 | * M'gann admits she had to use ghost peppers as a replacement spice for a Martian delicacy. The real joke is that [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bhut_jolokia ghost peppers]], the hottest natural pepper on Earth, can be ''[[http://health.howstuffworks.com/food-nutrition/can-ghost-peppers-kill.htm lethally]]'' spicy. |
| 470 | * James pressing Winn to help him clear his name of murder. |
| 471 | -->'''Winn:''' Why am I strong enough to say no to your fantasy football league but not to this? |
| 472 | * Winn complaining he doesn't want to go to prison because he's seen every episode of ''Series/{{Oz}}''. |
| 473 | * Alex corners Winn: |
| 474 | -->'''Alex:''' Do you know something about Guardian, Winn? |
| 475 | -->'''Winn:''' [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial Is... I just... I know he's not a bad guy, all right?]] So, if you can just have your friend, Maggie, please give him a break. |

| 477 | -->'''Winn:''' It's James. It's James! |
| 478 | ** Alex then [[DopeSlap slaps him on the head, annoyed]]. |
| 479 | ** What's even funnier is the fact that a whole bunch of DEO agents walk by in the background without even pausing or turning to look. [[SeenItAll "Agent Danvers threatening to torture the IT guy? Just another day as usual."]] |

| 483 | * The opening shows a Danvers family Thanksgiving. In the midst of it, Mon-El drops by, having been invited by Kara. Unfortunately, it seems she wasn't clear enough in her explanation of "stuffing", as Mon-El [[LiteralMinded took it to mean mattress stuffing]]. |
| 484 | * Kara takes away Alex's beer, as she already is way too drunk, and puts it in the freezer. The freezer reveals a bottle of whiskey Kara hid, which [[FunnyBackgroundEvent Alex sneakily runs off with, while Kara is in a conversation with Eliza]]. |
| 485 | * Kara thinks [[TheCasanova Mon-El]] was trying to hit on Eliza, [[ObliviousToLove not realizing]] that he wanted to impress Kara by being charming to her mother. |
| 486 | * Alex warning Winn and James not to tell Kara about Guardian during Thanksgiving dinner because it'll take away from her announcement. She's clearly at least a little tipsy while yelling at them. |
| 487 | -->'''Alex:''' No, because I have to say something very important. And I'm not going to have you two hijacking the night with your vigilante... hijinks! |

| 501 | '''Alex:''' ''[giggles]'' I kinda... I have a girlfriend. ''[grins]'' |
| 502 | * Snapper [[MustHaveCaffeine must have his coffee and danish]], but Kara and Jimmy dueling with each other over the same story are preventing him from getting his morning caffeine and sugar fix. |
| 503 | ** James then simply sticks a folder in Snapper's arm and vamooses. |
| 504 | * Kara and Mon-El trying to infiltrate the "research study." First, Mon-El is genuinely interested in the stupid kids' magazines left out to read. Then he calls Paris "Paris City." And then Kara claims they can't get blood tests due to their religion. |
| 505 | -->'''Mon-El:''' Yes, we are very devoted to our gods.\ |
| 506 | '''Kara:''' {{God}}.\ |
| 507 | '''Mon-El:''' Yes, God. We are... madly monotheistic! |
| 508 | * Winn's excuse for his wearing sunglasses indoors: |
| 509 | -->'''Kara:''' [[SunglassesAtNight Are you aware that you're wearing sunglasses? Indoors.]]\ |
| 510 | '''Winn:''' The future is so very bright. |
| 511 | * Alex dorkily calling dibs on an alien weapon after killing its owner. |
| 512 | * Mon-El yelling "Start the car!!" |
| 513 | * Winn doing his best [[Film/GalaxyQuest Guy Fleegman]] impression: "I'm not a RedShirt! I'm not a RedShirt! I'm not a RedShirt!" After taking out an armed alien, he starts crowing, "YOU are the RedShirt! YOU are the RedShirt!" |
| 514 | * Winn bragging to James that, yes, Guardian defeated enemies here on Earth, but ''he'' fought off aliens on ''another planet''. James is impressed. |
| 515 | * Maggie reveals she knows Kara is Supergirl because of how much Alex cares about her. |
| 516 | -->'''Maggie:''' Plus, [[ClarkKenting the glasses]] don't help. |
| 517 | -->'''Alex:''' I always said that too, it's kind of ridiculous. |

| 521 | * Maggie and Alex bet on how long the guards posted outside will be able to stop Kara coming in. |
| 522 | -->'''Alex:''' I'll give it about five seconds.\ |
| 523 | '''Maggie:''' Ten, at least. She's way too polite.\ |
| 524 | '''Alex:''' Oh, you wanna bet?\ |
| 525 | '''Maggie:''' If I'm right, you gotta try vegan ice cream.\ |
| 526 | '''Alex:''' That's disgusting. |
| 527 | * Kara ranting about having a nemesis. |
| 528 | -->'''Kara:''' Clark always made [having a nemesis] seem so fun, like a deadly pen-pal you see once a year! But no, [[CaptainObvious having a nemesis is STRESSFUL!]] |
| 529 | * When Kara is ranting about Livewire, she accidentally breaks a computer monitor. The delivery of the lines are what really make this. |
| 530 | -->'''Kara:''' Wh-what is that, a toy?\ |
| 531 | '''J'onn:''' No, it's expensive. |
| 532 | * When Kara asks if everyone else had known that James was Guardian, Mon-El jumps to defend his innocence. |
| 533 | -->'''Mon-El:''' I thought James was a professionally handsome desk person. |
| 534 | * Alex claiming she had told James and Winn to tell Kara weeks before, when she had specifically refused to let them do it on Thanksgiving because of her own confession. |
| 535 | * Kara asks if she and James can have the room for a minute. Everyone else immediately turns and practically runs out. |
| 536 | * Almost everything [[DeadpanSnarker Livewire]] says in this episode is comedy gold. |
| 537 | -->'''Livewire:''' ''[after the MadScientist explains his plan for making supersoldiers with her power set]'' This is copyright infringement, asshat! |
| 538 | -->'''Livewire:''' ''[after James and Mon-El show up to rescue Livewire and lose horribly]'' You know what I love? Little boys who think they can do a better job than the woman who's an actual superhero. |
| 539 | * A BrickJoke pays off. |
| 540 | -->'''Maggie:''' So, she let Livewire go.\ |
| 541 | '''Alex:''' ''[reluctantly]'' Mmm-hmm.\ |
| 542 | '''Maggie:''' ''[shit-eating grin]'' That means vegan ice cream at my place tonight.\ |

| 545 | |
| 546 | [[folder: Episode 11 - "The Martian Chronicles"]] |
| 547 | * As kind of painful as it must be for Mon-El, Kara's long line of justifying why she doesn't share the same feelings as him, while unintentionally insulting him, is hilarious in its awkwardness. |
| 548 | -->'''Kara:''' I mean, I have my career in journalism that I just started out on, and when I'm not focusing on being Supergirl, I really need to focus on that, and even if I did have the time to date someone I wouldn't date someone like...Someone who is... |
| 549 | -->'''Mon-El:''' ''[slightly defensive]'' An intergalactic bartender. |
| 550 | -->'''Kara:''' [[OhCrap Yes!]] No! No.. Because it's not your job it's [[NotHelpingYourCase the way you are.]]\ |
| 551 | ''[{{Beat}}]''\ |
| 552 | '''Mon-El:''' ''[blankly]'' I am going to go over there now.\ |
| 553 | '''Kara''': ''[whispering]'' Okay! |
| 554 | * When M'gann asks if Supergirl can just scan the building with her XRayVision to find Winn: |
| 555 | -->'''Kara:''' No, because ''someone'' lined the walls with lead. ''[looks accusingly at J'onn]'' |
| 556 | * White Martian!Alex is pretty snarky: |
| 557 | -->'''Kara:''' If you hurt [Alex]--\ |
| 558 | '''WM!Alex:''' You'll what? Whine at me? |
| 559 | * Winn's confused reaction after being freed is rather funny: "Was I on the ceiling?". And then he and J'onn go to the reactor. |
| 560 | -->'''J'onn:''' How long to disable the reactor?\ |
| 561 | '''Computer:''' ''Core breach in four minutes.''\ |
| 562 | '''Winn:''' ...About four minutes?\ |
| 563 | '''J'onn:''' That was a good answer.\ |
| 564 | '''Winn:''' Yes, as long as I can focus, it should be easy-- ''[sees Supergirl fighting a White Martian]'' Monsters are real! |
| 565 | * After Winn sees a White Martian getting thrown into a wall while he's trying to fix the nuclear reactor: |
| 566 | -->'''Winn:''' This did not used to happen at [=CatCo=]! |
| 567 | * After blasting a White Martian with the gun she called dibs on at Slaver's Moon: |

| 572 | * Mon-El's reaction to the surprise James and Winn felt when Alex came out to them and his statement that on Daxam, "the more the merrier" applied to sexual and romantic relationships. |
| 573 | * Mister Mxyzptlk makes an appearance in the midst of Kara and Mon-El admitting their feelings for one another. He goes on to declare his own love to a befuddled Kara. |
| 574 | [[/folder]] |
| 575 | |
| 576 | [[folder: Episode 13 - "Mr. and Mrs. Mxyzptlk"]] |
| 577 | * When Mr. Mxyzptlk teleports Mon-El to the DEO only in his underwear, J'onn [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight doesn't think anything of it]] while one blonde co-worker {{Female Gaze}}s his backside. |
| 578 | ** Actually, having Mr. Mxyzptlk [[ComedicUnderwearExposure teleport Mon-El into the DEO only in his underwear]] is hilarious in and of itself. |
| 579 | * Mxyzptlk mentions that he's completely omnipotent except for four things: He can't make Kara marry him, can't make her love him, can't stop her from killing herself, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking can't make her drink orange juice]]. At the end, [[BrickJoke Kara drinks a glass of orange juice in front of him]]. |
| 580 | * Mxy tries to "help" Supergirl by having a group of bank robbers' guns fire on them. Supergirl rushes to block the bullets before the robbers are killed, prompting one of them to actually say thanks. They get an OffhandBackhand for their trouble. |

| 584 | * Mon-El's immediate reaction to waking up to an empty bed. |
| 585 | -->'''Mon-El:''' Was it that bad? ...or was it that ''good''? |
| 586 | ** Turns out to be the latter when Mon-El watches the news and sees that Supergirl has been doing an entire day's worth of heroics in the past hour. |
| 587 | * Kara makes Mon-El promise not to tell anyone at work about their relationship, since she found all the scrutiny during her thing with James annoying. Mon-El agrees...and then immediately announces it to the entire DEO. |
| 588 | -->'''Mon-El:''' I'm sorry, but on Daxam, we used to have parties whenever two people got together. You're lucky I didn't throw a parade. |
| 589 | ** Topped off by J'onn telling them that they need to go see Pam in HR ("We have an HR?") to fill out the forms for dating a co-worker, in triplicate, and Alex says they need to attend a mandatory sexual harassment seminar (with a huge shit-eating grin on her face as she's saying this. She's clearly enjoying this). |
| 590 | --->'''Mon-El:''' [[ThisIsGonnaSuck It's gonna be a rough sparring session for me...]]\ |
| 591 | '''Kara:''' [[WhatTheHellHero Ya think?]]\ |
| 592 | '''Mon-El:''' Yeah, okay, I'm gonna warm up. |
| 593 | * When Maggie shows up at the Danvers' family dinner so that Alex can come out to her father, she brings along a bottle of tequila. Jeremiah states she's now family. |
| 594 | * Winn says that the only reason Mon-El is so paranoid about Jeremiah is because he recently binge-watched ''Series/TwentyFour''. |
| 595 | -->'''Winn:''' I knew I shouldn't have given you my Creator/{{Netflix}} password! |

| 599 | * Apparently, Maggie and Alex agreed that the winner of their pool game gets "dinner, a bottle of scotch, [[BreadMilkEggsSquick and one of those flash grenade things]]." |
| 600 | -->'''Alex:''' There is no way I'm giving you a grenade. |
| 601 | * Mon-El mimicking [[Series/ILoveLucy Ricky Ricardo]] as he returns to Kara's apartment. |
| 602 | * Mon-El [[MondegreenGag mishearing]] "blog" as "blob." And [[GotMeDoingIt Kara doing it not long afterward]]. |
| 603 | * Alex calls Winn when she's on the spaceship that's about to launch: |
| 604 | -->'''Winn:''' Uh, hey, Alex, can I call you back? We got an undetected launch.\ |
| 605 | '''Alex:''' It's me! I'm the launch! |
| 606 | * After Alex tells Maggie that she got her job back: |
| 607 | -->'''Maggie:''' Good, 'cause I'm not dating some unemployed slacker. Though you do make good arm candy.\ |
| 608 | '''Alex:''' Mmmm... don't I? |

| 610 | |
| 611 | [[folder:Episode 16 - "Star-Crossed"]] |
| 612 | * Winn is at the DEO practically bouncing out of his chair from sheer happiness, with his co-workers quietly laughing. Maggie calls, and he greets her in a cheerful bombastic way... that swiftly peters off as he realizes she's calling about the building he broke into last night with Lyra. |
| 613 | * Winn promises to bring [[DonutMessWithACop doughnuts for the cops]]... and cut to him in an interrogation room, eating them all himself. |
| 614 | -->'''Winn:''' I'm stress-eating, okay? |
| 615 | * When they find out Lyra was just using Winn to steal a painting, Alex just sighs. |
| 616 | -->'''Winn:''' She [[FemmeFatale femme-fataled]] me!\ |
| 617 | '''Alex:''' You do have a type. |
| 618 | * Alex demands to know what an informant wants to give up information on Lyra. |
| 619 | -->'''Thug:''' ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}'' tickets. Orchestra. |
| 620 | -->'''Winn:''' Well, we're screwed. |
| 621 | ** And then Alex ''agreeing'', the moment is funny in itself before the reactions |
| 622 | * Mandrax {{No Sell}}s a hit from James' shield, to which he sheepishly says "That usually works." |
| 623 | * After Maggie lets Winn go since he retrieved the stolen painting and found the actual art thieves: |
| 624 | -->'''Winn:''' You're a good egg, Maggie.\ |
| 625 | '''Maggie:''' Leave before I throw you into holding for fun.\ |
| 626 | '''Winn:''' ''[scared]'' I... have better places to go. ''[hastily walks off]''\ |
| 627 | '''Maggie:''' ''[grinning]'' Think I scared him?\ |
| 628 | '''Alex:''' ''[proudly]'' Almost as well as I do. |

| 630 | [[/folder]] |
| 631 | |
| 632 | [[folder:Episode 17 - "Distant Sun"]] |
| 633 | * Kara again does a quick change into her superhero outfit just off-screen, in what's becoming a RunningGag for Creator/KevinSmith's directing on the show. |
| 634 | * The fight between Kara and Mon-El is hilariously terrible, as he's moving around like a jerky puppet with advanced martial arts, but she can't fight back because she doesn't want to hurt him. And when she finally does punch him in the face, he's already been freed from the telepath's control. |
| 635 | * The telepath says that humans are too moral to do what needs to be done to get information from him. |
| 636 | -->'''Alex:''' [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique Winn, get me a wrench]].\ |
| 637 | '''Winn:''' ''[looks seriously worried]'' |
| 638 | * Winn teleporting outside Mon-El's cell. |
| 639 | -->'''Winn:''' Oh, thank God I'm not in space.\ |
| 640 | '''Mon-El:''' ...you are in space.\ |
| 641 | '''Winn:''' I mean outside, all floaty... I'm here to rescue you!\ |

| 643 | '''Winn:''' ''[delighted]'' You finally saw ''[[Film/ANewHope Star Wars]]''! |
| 644 | * Rhea has the most confused expression imaginable when she stabs at "Kara" with a Kryptonite sai and nothing happens. |
| 645 | * Kara's {{Adorkable}} ([[LargeHam over]])reaction to Mon-El cooking breakfast for her. |
| 646 | -->''That's very sweet, but there is no way you're getting in the way of me and'' ({{Gasp}}) '''BACONNNNNN!!!''' |

| 649 | [[folder:Episode 18 - "Ace Reporter"]] |
| 650 | * The episode starts with there being ''no'' crime in the city. At all. Kara briefly considers going after some hypothetical supervillain who dumped "law-abiding serum" into the reservoir, before everyone else leaves, J'onn for budget paperwork, Winn for new software, and Alex for Thursday knife practice. |
| 651 | * With nothing better to do, Kara tries her hand at baking. After taking her dish out of the oven (without oven mitts), she declares it a failure and dumps it in the trash with four more. |
| 652 | * After Supergirl saves Snapper from the nano-swarm, Kara brings it up with him. |
| 653 | -->'''Kara:''' So I heard Supergirl saved you.\ |
| 654 | '''Snapper:''' ...Yeah, she was there.\ |
| 655 | '''Kara:''' Did you say "thank you?"\ |
| 656 | '''Snapper:''' Once. To a divorce lawyer. It was awkward for everyone. |
| 657 | * Everything about Mon-El and Kara sneaking into Spheerical. |
| 658 | ** Starting with the 'hug' Mon-El bestows upon Jack in order to steal his keycard. Mon-El whispers something about them hanging out in his ear and suggests Jack call him later. It's mostly Jack's "WTF?" face that sells it. |
| 659 | ** They peek out from around the corner in a [[Franchise/ScoobyDoo Scooby]]-stack. |
| 660 | ** Right after they agree to keep a low profile, Mon-El busts out a bright flashlight. Kara reminds him she has XRayVision. |
| 661 | ** When confronted with a locked computer, Kara is stymied for a second before she enters "Starling," Jack's pet name for Lena. |
| 662 | --->'''Mon-El:''' That romantic bastard. |
| 663 | * After Kara brings Snapper a danish she made, he gives her her job back in the most back-handed manner possible by yelling at her for "leaving early." |
| 664 | -->'''Kara:''' Really? I can have my job back?\ |
| 665 | '''Snapper:''' Unless you're thinking of starting a food truck. ''[takes a bite of the danish, stops]'' ...Don't start a food truck. |
| 666 | * Mon-El is concerned that Kara's behavior towards Jack constitutes stalking. Kara counters that it's "just journalism": |
| 667 | -->'''Mon-El:''' ...very creepy journalism. |
| 668 | [[/folder]] |
| 669 | |
| 670 | [[folder:Episode 19 - "Alex"]] |
| 671 | * Mon-El claims that the first time he tried to microwave mac and cheese, they had to evacuate three city blocks. |
| 672 | -->'''Kara:''' He's exaggerating, but I've seen nuclear explosions that were less destructive. |
| 673 | ** [[NoodleIncident When, exactly, did she see a nuclear explosion?]] |
| 674 | * When Kara gets pizza after Alex burns dinner, [[FunnyBackgroundEvent in the background, Alex gets on a step-stool, yanks the smoke detector off of the wall, and just tosses it in the trashcan]]. |
| 675 | [[/folder]] |
| 676 | |
| 677 | [[folder:Episode 21 - "Resist"]] |
| 678 | * The entire episode is a reminder of how sorely missed Cat Grant was. |
| 679 | ** She saunters right into the middle of a talk between the President and Rhea to talk about "not needing to measure anything." |
| 680 | --->'''Cat''': I have brokered peace between [[Music/KanyeWest Kayne]] and Music/TaylorSwift so I think mediating peace between our two worlds should be a piece of cake. And the future is female, we've all read the t-shirts. |
| 681 | ** Cat refers to Rhea's tiara as "overkill." Rhea looks genuinely annoyed, and in later scenes is wearing a much more understated headband. |
| 682 | ** Winn isn't very good at covering for Kara and James when Cat questions where they are. |
| 683 | --->'''Cat:''' Where is James Olsen? This is the biggest story in the history of the world. That's just the reason I put him in charge.\ |
| 684 | '''Winn:''' James is... is, uh... hiding, like a coward.\ |
| 685 | '''Cat:''' And Kiera? Where is she?\ |
| 686 | '''Winn:''' She is also... a coward. |
| 687 | ** She mentions setting up the DEO in a dive bar as "very French Resistance." |
| 688 | ** Cat almost absentmindedly calling Guardian "James." |
| 689 | --->'''James''': I'm...Guardian. |
| 690 | --->'''Cat''': Oh, honey, I can see your eyes through the slit. |
| 691 | ** Cat's reaction to finding out the President is an alien? "At least tell me you're still a Democrat." |
| 692 | *** She also notes Olivia is a pacifist "otherwise you'd have stabbed me in the back when your fiance flung you at me." |
| 693 | *** She's the first to put it together, noting how she saw Olivia in her native form in college but figured it "was the pot brownies." |
| 694 | ** Cat's snarky remark that the Daxamites are going to "make National City great again" suggests that UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump is a politician on Earth-38 too, and Cat did not approve of him. |
| 695 | * Kara tells Alex that she'll be "[[MythologyGag faster than a speeding bullet]]." |
| 696 | * Maggie's reaction to finding Alex in the bar? "I'm so glad that when things look their worst, we both thought to run straight to a bar." |
| 697 | * Hank Henshaw mentions his cybernetics have been upgraded: |
| 698 | -->'''Hank:''' I can interface with the onboard Daxamite computer system. We'll pass through undetected.\ |

| 706 | * Winn and Lena working together to finish Lex's atmosphere device. They both forget the names of parts as they're giving them to each other, things are exploding all over the city, and Lillian is just slowly circling them with a bewildered look on her face. |
| 707 | -->'''Winn:''' I am excellent in a crisis. ''[Lillian walks behind him; he screams]''\ |
| 708 | '''Lillian:''' [[DeadpanSnarker Yes, we can see that]]. |
| 709 | * Rhea's second-in-command is ordered to take out Superman. The fight lasts about a minute before Superman throws him out of [=CatCo=] like a ragdoll. |
| 710 | -->'''Superman:''' Well, at least he tried. |
| 711 | * Cat shamelessly flirting with Clark. And then after he leaves the room, her exchange with Kara. |
| 712 | --> '''Cat:''' I promise you, once he takes off the glasses, [[SexGod he is a tiger in bed]].\ |
| 713 | '''Kara:''' ''[sotto voice as she leaves the room]'' Oh god, I hope Rhea kills me. |

| 721 | '''Alex:''' What? I'm not like that.\ |
| 722 | '''J'onn:''' Come on, Alex. Your unrelenting seriousness is one of your best qualities.\ |
| 723 | '''Alex:''' I'm not like that. I'm not! |
| 724 | * Winn interrupting Alex and Maggie discussing their wedding. |
| 725 | * Supergirl having a "chat" with Morgan Edge on a container ship sailing well out to sea. And then leaves him there. |
| 726 | * Alex announces she's going to have the biggest, gayest wedding in National City. |
| 727 | * Alex asking J'onn to walk her down the aisle at her wedding because she thinks of him as a father, nearly brings him to tears. And then she warns him: |
| 728 | -->'''Alex:''' Stop. Don't cry. If you cry, I'm gonna cry, and then everyone here's gonna know we actually can cry. |
| 729 | * And the wedding wardrobe: |
| 730 | -->'''J'onn:''' Do I have to wear a tux? |
| 731 | -->'''Alex:''' I'm wearing kevlar and boots. |

| 735 | [[folder:Episode 2 - "Triggers"]] |
| 736 | * Maggie and Alex appear to be having a heated argument over something very important with Winn and J'onn getting caught in the middle. They just couldn't agree about whether to have a band or a DJ at their wedding. |
| 737 | ** Then J'onn gives a very thoughtful and logical explanation as to which choice they should go with. |

| 741 | * J'onn's rocket is a shapeshifter, just like him. He disguises it as a car straight out of TheFifties. |
| 742 | ** Later, [[WeNeedADistraction Kara acts as a distraction]] to the hostile White Martians... by driving up in the car, playing [[Music/BritneySpears "Hit Me Baby One More Time"]] on the radio, and asking for directions, because she [[WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes took a wrong turn at Albuquerque]] and her GPS keeps wanting her to make a suicidal left turn. Then tells them they might want to check their rear view. |

| 746 | * Lena tells a story about a handsome male world leader who seemed about to ask her up to his room, but first asked if she was baptized. Apparently he only sleeps with "good Catholic girls", so that was the end of that. (As an extra joke, though she declined to name him, the description implies the writers ''might'' have intended it as a reference to Emmanuel Macron.) |
| 747 | * Classic, but still a good one: After returning from commercial post-Supergirl saving someone from an industrial fire, the initial shot is of a digital sign outside the facility reading "190 days without an accident"...and it clicks down to 0. |

| 755 | * While the context is a bit depressing, the fact that Alex and Kara ''instantly'' revert to bickering teenagers when they get home is worth a chuckle. |
| 756 | * The FBI agent tells Kara that she "has one of those faces. It's an asset in my line of work." Coming from a shapeshifter... |
| 757 | * At the end, when they're about to drive back, Alex demands she be the one to drive, since [[DrivesLikeCrazy Kara almost killed them three times on the drive up]]. |

| 773 | * J'onn drives everyone crazy by insisting on playing "Jingle Bell Rock" over and over. |
| 774 | -->'''J'onn:''' If my father learns nothing else this holiday season, he will learn about Hall and Oates! |
| 775 | * M'yrnn sips hot cocoa. |
| 776 | -->'''M'yrnn:''' J'onn, I do not know why you introduced me to coffee first. This brown water is vastly superior! |
| 777 | * When M'yrnn compares Christmas to the Martian holiday Life Day, Winn thinks he's talking about the holiday from ''Film/TheStarWarsHolidaySpecial'' and excitedly talks about several scenes from it, then his face falls when he realizes M'yrnn has [[PopCulturalOsmosisFailure no idea what he is talking about]]. Then J'onn reveals ''he'' is a fan as he claims ''Film/TheEmpireStrikesBack'' is the best sequel ever. M'yrnn then asks what a sequel is. |
| 778 | * Lena brushes off nearly being shot as "my quarterly assassination attempt." |
| 779 | * Reign and Supergirl's epic battle crashes them into an office building Christmas party. It's a brutal Kryptonian death match... as "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" plays. AnAssKickingChristmas perfectly epitomized. |

| 782 | [[folder:Episode 10 - "Legion of Super-Heroes"]] |
| 783 | * Brainiac 5 showing up inside Kara's coma. Just the baffled look on her face seeing a blue-skinned alien standing in front of her door. Then [[TheKnightsWhoSaySquee his babbling about meeting her in person]] and her dragging him in when he calls her "Supergirl." |
| 784 | * Brainy's reaction to Kara calling being trapped in this state torture. |
| 785 | -->'''Brainy:''' Of all the four million, two hundred and thirty seven thousand, two hundred and sixty-four versions of our first meeting I envisioned, you calling it "torture"... wasn't one of them. |
| 786 | * When Lena is wondering where Kara is, James fumbles and says she has a really bad flu. He then continues to stammer and fumble his way through the conversation, leading to him suggesting that Lana bring Kara a lot of soup. The second she's out of sight, he ''runs'' to his phone to tell Winn that they have a new problem. |
| 787 | * Following the above, J'onn has to impersonate Kara so Lena won't suspect anything. Misery for him, comedy gold for the audience. |
| 788 | --> '''J'onn as Kara, but in his own voice:''' ''[in a tone just like a GrumpyOldMan]'' The indignity... |
| 789 | ** When Lena comes by, J'onn puts ''zero'' effort into it--he refers to James as "Olsen" and his charade just screams "I'm so done with this shit" and you can tell how disgusted he is with having to do girl talk with Lena about how good a kisser James is. |
| 790 | *** Even better, Lena doesn't suspect ''anything'' since James told her that Kara was sick with the flu, and she chalks everything up to a fever-induced delirium. |
| 791 | ** Alex asks J'onn if he's ready to face Reign. |
| 792 | -->'''J'onn:''' I just had a conversation about James Olsen's extraordinary kissing ability. This will be a Sunday picnic. |
| 793 | ** When Alex tells Kara about it, Kara's response is to laugh her ass off. |
| 794 | * Twice in the episode, Mon-El talks about Music/BonJovi being one of his treasured artifacts of the 21st century. [[BrickJoke Later on]], Reign is tearing her way through the prison and pauses to speak with Coville when she notices him using a Kryptonian prayer. Then, before she can decide what to do with him, she hears, on a distant PA system, [[AutobotsRockOut "Livin' On A Prayer"]]. (Aside from being hilariously awesome, the scene might also double as a ShoutOut to the "[[Music/{{ACDC}} Shoot to Thrill]]" scene in ''[[Film/TheAvengers2012 The Avengers]]''.) |
| 795 | * Brainy piloting the Legion's ship during their battle with Reign bleeds over into his representation in Kara's mind. She's concerned, so he insists all is well because his brilliance allows him to multitask, and juggles oranges while doing the nearby crossword to demonstrate. It falls apart instantly when the representation yells at Mon-El to watch out. |

| 800 | ** Just the sight of her in a pink waitress uniform. |
| 801 | ** When Kara says she needs someone "to watch my back," Livewire can't stop laughing hysterically. |
| 802 | ** She has absolutely no memory of Winn helping her constantly back when she was working for Cat. |
| 803 | ** She calls Mon-El "Cosplay." |

| 805 | --->'''Psi:''' You have a problem?\ |
| 806 | '''Livewire:''' [[Music/JayZ Ninety-nine but you ain't one]]. |
| 807 | * Brainy spends the entire episode disgusted at the DEO's technology, which is horrifically primitive from his perspective. |
| 808 | -->'''Brainy:''' I've seen espresso machines with more processing power. |
| 809 | * At the end of the episode, Mon-El gives Kara some heartfelt advice. She takes a second, then laughs because she didn't expect it to actually be ''good'' advice. |
| 810 | * Crossing over between funny, heartwarming, and awesome, Alex pretends to be a FBI agent to scare a girl who was bullying Ruby. |
| 811 | -->'''Ruby:''' There's also this girl down the street who pushed me one time--\ |

| 817 | * Lillian and Lena reunite. |
| 818 | -->'''Lillian:''' Do you know of any other mother who would kill for her daughter? |
| 819 | -->'''Lena:''' No, I don't. That's probably a good thing for society. |

| 826 | * Winn {{squee}}-ing over helping Mon-El fix up his ship with a battery from J'onn's ship. |
| 827 | -->'''Winn:''' Can I touch it?\ |
| 828 | '''J'onn:''' No. |

| 830 | -->'''Purity:''' I am the scalding light. I am the flood that sweeps away sins. I am the word and cry of justice--\ |

| 837 | * The episode starts with the gang lined up as Kara gives them a speech of steeling themselves as if for battle...and it turns out to be karaoke night with Kara cutting into Music/BeastieBoys. |
| 838 | * At the DEO, My'rnn comes up to J'onn asking for money, since he ordered pizza, the guards tackled the delivery guy when he showed up, and My'rnn feels like he deserves a really big tip. |
| 839 | * The DEO is attacked by...a horde of metallic fighting monkeys. |
| 840 | -->'''James:''' I am so glad I don't work here. |
| 841 | ** And after they manage to beat them all back, Winn's mother can only ask "This is your job? ''This'' is?!" |
| 842 | ** Kara tells Mary that, on her day-do-day experiences, "attacked by flying monkeys" is only a 2. |
| 843 | --->'''Kara:''' Does that make you feel better? |
| 844 | --->'''Mary:''' Very much so. |
| 845 | * Winn can't believe his mother is just strolling around a top-secret government lab. |
| 846 | -->'''Mary:''' Oh, no one cares! ''[to various workers]'' Do they pay you enough to care? No? You should unionize! |
| 847 | ** And they just completely ignore her. |
| 848 | * Winn and James are being chased by a flamethrower-bearing car. |
| 849 | -->'''Winn:''' Thing on our twelves! |
| 850 | -->'''James:''' That's our six! |
| 851 | -->'''Winn:''' Under a lot of pressure right now! |
| 852 | * We see that Mon-El may have some skills but singing is not one of them (which is particularly funny given that his actor is actually a pretty decent singer). |
| 853 | * Mary's reaction to Winn nearly being strangled? "You need to get that checked for infection, when was your last tetanus shot?" like any overprotective mother. |

| 857 | * Apparently, J'onn had an ImaginaryFriend named "Zook" when he was a child. |
| 858 | * My'rnn is mocked for using his powers to win a game of Charades like shape-shifting into an astronaut outfit. He responds by noting J'onn was a real cheater. |
| 859 | * The whole team is surprised when Kara carefully takes off her shirt rather than her usual button-ripping, to which she retorts she really likes this one. |
| 860 | * At the bar, Kara is thrown into a nearby arcade game. |
| 861 | -->'''Kara:''' I had the high score on that! |
| 862 | * Kara ending her fight with the Kalanorian in a photo booth. Then keeping the pictures. |
| 863 | * My'rnn {{troll}}ing J'onn by asking him where Zook went. |
| 864 | * Winn enters. |
| 865 | -->'''Winn:''' I have done something amazing! |

| 872 | * Brainy has taken to using an image inducer to make himself look human after "nearly causing a riot at the Piggly-Wiggly" getting some apple cider. |
| 873 | ** Winn walks in, takes one look, and knows instantly it's Brainy. And wants to know if he can borrow the inducer for Halloween. |
| 874 | ** To add context to the above, Alex and J'onn both pull their guns while Kara gets ready for a fight when the disguised Brainy walks in, and need to be told by Mon-El to stand down. Winn, however, stares at him for a second or two, then casually says "Oh, hi, Brainy." And then goes back telling the others what he came to tell them. Their surprised expressions scream: "How the hell did you figure it out?!" |
| 875 | * When Winn is infected, he trolls Brainy by claiming [[Franchise/ANightmareOnElmStreet Freddy Kruger]] scratched him. Brainy, of course, has no idea who that is and excitedly suggests they start looking for him. |
| 876 | * Brainy has no idea what social media is, because it's long-extinct by his time. According to Mon-El, it was a rather short-lived fad. |

| 881 | -->'''Kara:''' Is this what it's like for humans to exercise? Why would you ever exercise? |
| 882 | * Winn shows off the magnets on Alex's new suit by pulling Brainy's Legion ring over to him. Brainy is not amused: |
| 883 | -->'''Brainy:''' That ring costs more than ''this entire ship''. Also, ''that hurt''! |

| 886 | [[folder:Episode 18 - "Shelter From the Storm"]] |
| 887 | * Brainy proudly tells Winn that he has reevaluated Winn to be a 1.42 level intellect (compared to the human 1.0, and Brainy's own 12.0). Winn is less than grateful. |
| 888 | ** In the same scene, Brainy gives Winn a gift of dirt (''future'' dirt, from 31st century Earth), then ends up throwing shade at the New York Mets. |
| 889 | --->'''Brainy:''' [...] I ran a diagnostic of your personality and calculated with a 98.7% certainty that you either collected ''dirt''-- ''[scoffs]'' --or New York Mets baseball cards. And judging from the last 783 uninterrupted Major League seasons, I figured ''dirt'' was more likely to hold its value. |

| 903 | -->'''Demos:''' Finally! |
| 904 | -->'''Winn:''' Seriously, you're not even going to ask--? |
| 905 | ** Demos is disappointed the punch has no effect and "it's not as satisfying as I imagined. And I imagined it a lot." |
| 906 | * To communicate with Earth, Kara talks through the AI hologram of Alura. Winn, naturally, is thinking this is some sort of malfunction and trying to "test" her as Alex shuts him up. |

| 912 | * Brainy thought that Alex's request to "give a heads-up" when the President arrived meant it was okay to tell her ''when the President literally showed up'' and not a moment sooner. |
| 913 | * Kara's first meeting with Nia who babbles constantly, tripping over her words and just in awe of being in Kara's presence. |
| 914 | -->'''Kara:''' Oh my God. You're me. |
| 915 | ** Special mention to Nia texting Ms. Danvers in the middle of babbling...and exactly one second later, Kara pulls out her phone, checks it, and puts it back with a smile on her face as Nia continues to babble without noticing a thing. |
| 916 | * Mercy's brother is knocking nun-chucks against a hard drive. |
| 917 | -->'''Mercy:''' That thing hits my hard drive, it'll be [[NoodleIncident family vacation 1996]] all over again. Only this time, the paramedics won't be there to resuscitate you. |
| 918 | * Brainy's attempt to teach Alex a lesson by dressing up like Winn. |

| 921 | |
| 922 | [[folder: Episode 2 - "Fallout"]] |
| 923 | * An otherwise-tense scene of Mercy's forces attacking L-Corp is made funny by Kara's utter frustration at how she can't get away to become Supergirl, thanks to Lena's insistence on keeping her close to "keep her safe." Oh, the irony. |
| 924 | ** Lena gives Kara special earplugs to protect from sonic attacks. When Lena turns away, Kara throws up her hands helplessly and just pockets them. |
| 925 | ** That's followed by Kara using her powers in secret to block bullets and other bits without anyone realizing it, including knocking herself back with a super-sneeze. |
| 926 | ** When Eve hot-wires a door shut, Kara and Lena just stare in disbelief. |
| 927 | ** When Lena finally tells Kara to run and hide, Kara gives a downright relieved "okay" so she can finally come back in costume. |

He managed to find out her address, her phone number, and even her favorite restaurants, but didn't realize that he was supposed to ''call'' her. Alex hurries to reassure Nia that he isn't as stalkery as he seems. |

| 973 | -->'''Kara:''' Tell that to Lois Lane. |
| 974 | -->'''Nia:''' Who? |
| 975 | -->'''Brainy:''' It's very simple. We bide our time and then spring into actions using our super-- ''[Kara glares at him]'' kung-fu. In which we have many belts in an aggressive rainbow of colors. |
| 976 | ** Even funnier because most martial arts systems either don't have belts, or have darker colors for more advanced students (usually red, blue, and brown, with black of course being the highest). Not exactly a "rainbow!" |

This leads to Kara trying to "accidentally" find a safe via XRayVision and J'onn acting surprised at her "good find." |

He then proceeds to set off explosions, moving his arms like a conductor, all the while [[Music/WolfgangAmadeusMozart Mozart]]'s ''Eine kleine Nachtmusik'' plays. It's sort of like Damien Darhk's "Return of the Mack" rampage in the same-titled episode of ''Series/LegendsOfTomorrow''. |

| 1042 | * Lex continues to serve up more BlackComedy when, at his trial, he is asked to explain why he committed his crimes in a {{flashback}}: |
| 1043 | -->'''Lex:''' [[NeverMyFault Superman made me do it.]] |
| 1044 | * As Lex's thirty-one life sentences are being announced, nearly everyone in courtroom, including the judge, start coughing and dying, while Lex just stands there bored. |
| 1045 | -->'''Lex:''' Let's make it thirty-two. |
| 1046 | * Lex runs the prison by giving the warden NBA tickets and supplying the entire place with lobster. |
| 1047 | ** He's also carved a massive drawing of Hannibal crossing the Alps on the wall of his cell. |
| 1048 | --->'''Warden:''' What does it represent?\ |
| 1049 | '''Lex:''' Boredom. |
| 1050 | * Lex Luthor does not escape prison. He checks out like it's a hotel with his private jet standing by and comes back in 72 hours. |
| 1051 | -->'''Lex:''' Prison is the best alibi ever invented. |
| 1052 | * Lex and Red Daughter visit National City and disguise themselves. Lex, naturally, dons a '''truly''' horrendous wig. |
| 1053 | * Eve tries to get Red Daughter on track after she talks of loving America. |
| 1054 | -->'''Eve:''' Oh, no, you are not going to go all apple-pie eating, flag-waving [[Series/TheAmericans Phillip Jennings]] on me! |
| 1055 | ** She tells Lex that Red Daughter is "going to Star Spangle you right out of your plan for world domination!" |
| 1056 | * Otis saving Mikhail [[EvenEvilHasStandards because even he wouldn't kill a child]]? Kinda heartwarming. Telling him to lie down and pretend to be dead if he ''ever sees a bald man?'' Hilarious. |
| 1057 | * Just the matter-of-fact way Lex announces "I have to give myself cancer!" as if it's the most logical course of action imaginable. Eve's face is what sells it. |

| 1074 | -->'''Brainy''': From studying Ethan Hunt, [[Film/MissionImpossible Master of the impossible mission]], the obvious answer to bypass the guards will be subterfuge. |
| 1075 | * Hammered by a Kryptonite-powered Otis, Supergirl swiftly changes into Kara and claims "Supergirl just left." |
| 1076 | -->'''Kara''': I was doing an article on prison reform. Maybe you'd care to comment? |
| 1077 | -->'''Otis''': I don't trust the press. They always parachute into crisis like this without any context for the larger systemic issues at play. |
| 1078 | ** That whole scene in general really, for being a [[HurricaneOfPuns Hurricane Of Puns]], and him fighting her in a wrestling arena and dinging the bell with a weight he's holding instead of using it as a weapon, then picking up two smaller weights |

| 1093 | '''Kara:''' ''[suffering tone]'' Right. |
| 1094 | * Kara tries to butter up Eve by saying she's ''obviously'' the love of Lex's life, and surely he told her everything. Lena can't help but scoff, but Eve eats it up. |

| 1106 | -->'''Brainy:''' What?!\ |
| 1107 | '''Alex:''' You should've led with that. |
| 1108 | ** Then Lena adds that Lex has a clone of Supergirl. |
| 1109 | --->'''Alex:''' What?!\ |
| 1110 | '''Brainy:''' You should've led with ''that''. |
| 1111 | * Lena slaps a baby truth seeker on Lillian to make sure she can't lie, then tests it. |
| 1112 | -->'''Lena:''' My middle-school boyfriend, Taylor.\ |
| 1113 | '''Lillian:''' I paid him fourteen thousand dollars to never speak to you again. ''[looks surprised]''\ |
| 1114 | '''Lena:''' I knew it. |

| 1116 | -->'''Lillian:''' Can't you just waterboard me like a normal person?! |
| 1117 | * Brainy impersonating Ben Lockwood. Hilarious and facepalm-worthy at the same time. |
| 1118 | * [[PopCulturedBadass Nia]] suggesting the WookieeGambit and J'onn taking a dig at a RunningGag for this season: "Why does everyone think it's a good idea to get captured?" |

| 1122 | * Though Lex claims he's above gloating, he spends a good chunk of the episode doing exactly that after he brings Lena and Lillian to the White House. |
| 1123 | -->'''Lex:''' As another world leader once said, "I don't see why men shouldn't be as cruel as nature."\ |
| 1124 | '''Lillian:''' Try not to quote [[UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler Hitler]] in public, dear. It'll hurt the brand. |
| 1125 | * After Lex and Eve leave, Lillian mentions that she poisoned the tea, and Lex would be dead by now if he had actually drank any. Lena is impressed. |
| 1126 | * Lex joyously singing along to Music/FrankSinatra's Music/MyWay as he betrays Kaznia. |
| 1127 | * Lex is shocked that Supergirl is still alive, and complains about her and Superman always surviving. He sounds especially annoyed when he mentions their "perfect hair." |

| 1137 | * Supergirl falls on a poster with Lex's picture on it and says "Ew." |
| 1138 | * Brainy acting like Kara's cape being destroyed is a huge issue with Alex dryly noting she almost forgot "the whole three solar systems being destroyed thing." |
| 1139 | -->'''Brainy''': This is no time for sarcasm! No matter how dry or well-crafted! |
| 1140 | * Brainy notes how the cape is specially designed for tight flying. |
| 1141 | -->'''Brainy:''' And believe me when a Farfarmniflatch is pursuing you across the poisonous prison pits of Takron-Galtos, you'll wish for the heady days of yore when your cape allowed for a sharp right turn, oh yes! |
| 1142 | * Kara is overjoyed to see that Brainy's new outfit for her includes pants.[[note]]And this is at least partly Melissa herself rather than acting, as she'd been lobbying for a while to not have to wear a skirt in the frigid Vancouver weather.[[/note]] |
| 1143 | * Right before the final battle with Midnight, Team Supergirl [[ChangingClothesIsAFreeAction quickly changes into their superhero outfits]]...except [[BadassNormal Alex]], who only takes off her heels and asks "How do you guys change so fast?!" |
| 1144 | * Kara asks J'onn to shapeshift into her and go to the award ceremony. Brainy gleefully mentions how fun it is to see J'onn impersonating Kara (perfectly echoing the audience's thoughts). |

Kara barely has the recorder in her hands for two seconds before she hits "play" with Mxy having a wonderful "should have seen that coming" reaction before vanishing. |

This pair is literally unstoppable! Not to mention fashionable, after Lena convinced Supergirl to cut the hair of steel, and gave her a new suit to boot!

| 1264 | ** Nia compares the strategy to the opening chapter of ''Literature/HarryPotterAndTheDeathlyHallows.'' Kara tells her that's a terrible analogy, since Hedwig and Moody ''died'' in that chapter. M'gann gives them her condolences for their fellow warriors who had died fighting the good fight against Leviathan and Kara hastily tries to explain (before J'onn puts a stop to the digression and giving the plan - meaning M'gann probably ''still'' thinks they're actual fallen heroes). |
| 1265 | ** Part of said plan is for J'onn and M'gann to pretend to be Supergirl in different places to divide Leviathan's attention. They don't disguise their voices right away, so we have David Harewood's voice coming from cute li'l Kara's face, even as he's giving orders. Bonus points for him complaining about Kara's suit chafing... |

And again, J'onn ''still'' looks like Kara but sounds like himself as he runs to the rescue, sees what's actually happening, and says "Oh. It was a scream of delight. [[OhMyGods Thank Hronmeer]].") |

| 1322 | [[folder: Episode 11 - "Mxy in the Middle"]] |
| 1323 | * Mxy explains the backstory of Nxy...all to a cover of "I Will Survive." While using a flashlight as an impromptu spotlight. The "is this really happening" looks of the gang are absolutely priceless. |
| 1324 | ** ''J'onn'' is fighting not to break out laughing. |
| 1325 | * Mxy wants to be helpful while the team make plans to trap Nyxly. Alex, who is attempting to power a DEO power-dampener bracelet with a magical amulet, asks if he can help integrate the two. Mxy says apologetically that explaining magic (which is instinctive to imps) to a non-magical being is difficult, but he thinks about it for a while... and then suggests [[HaveYouTriedRebooting turning it off and on again]]. |

| 1337 | * Lena [[ArbitrarySkepticism doesn't believe in magic]]. When looking for the information on the totems, Kara takes her to the Fortress to talk to a recording of a Kryptonian witch. Lena's expression is priceless. |
| 1338 | * As it turns out, Brainy had been affected by the totem's magic too. Which, in his case, means not running his usual improbably precise calculations. |
| 1339 | -->'''Brainy''': ''(with pure disgust in his voice)'' Have I just spent all day ''guesstimating''? |

| 1368 | * Mitch's [[CutHimselfShaving excuse]] for the black eye Lex and Otis gave him to convince him to take some intel to Nyxly without mentioning them? He was doing research in the library and a book fell on him. Twice. |

| 1374 | -->'''Cat''': Please, those spectacles disguised you as much as a pair of Groucho Marx glasses, you might as well have added the bushy eyebrows and mustache. |
