Episode 13: ‘For the Girl Who Has Everything’
This entire episode was a homage to the great Superman story, by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons, ‘For the Man Who Has Everything.’ The episode was full of great moments, from seeing a young Kal-El on Krypton, to Supergirl putting a major beating on Non. But the most shocking scene for many came during the Astra vs Martian Manhunter battle. When Astra got the upper hand, Alex impaled her with a Kryptonite laced sword to save J’onn’s life. To make it more heartbreaking, Kara felt that she had recently been getting through to her Aunt and had a chance at helping her reform. To spare the sisters’ relationship, J’onn took responsibility for killing Astra. This would lead to tension among Kara, Alex, and J’onn that would last for a couple episodes before the full truth came out.
