- Young Kara experiences kryptonite for the first time, Nia and Brainy are trapped by invading aliens, and a young Cat Grant may be the reason Supergirl never gets out of the Phantom Zone.
- Brainiac-5 and Nia attempt so set right what went wrong several times, as in 1990 Midvale they try to get a sample of Kara's DNA, prevent CJ from learning Kara's secret identity, stop the alien zookeepers from escaping, and restraining a herd of angry land sharks.—Gislef
- Nia and Brainiac-5 realize that Naxim is using power dampeners on them. A young Kara hears them, tells Kenny that their two friends are in trouble, and flies to the spaceship and smashes the dampener field. Alex and Kenny arrive, as Naxim turns on the spaceship's weaponry and blasts Kara out of the sky.
Nia blasts Mitch, and Kenny calls to a stunned Kara, waking her up. Naxim runs into the woods, and Braniac-5 tells him to give up his remote or a nearby Kara will bore a hole in Naxim with her heat vision. Naxim hands over the remote, while CJ sends her drone overhead and captures the entire thing on video.
Later, Kara, and Kenny take Alex, Nia, and Braniac-i5 to Kenny's "Fortress". Alex thanks them for dealing with the aliens, and Brainiac-5 notifies the intergalactic authorities after having locked Naxim and Mitch up. Eliza calls Alex and she steps aside to talk with her mother, while Braniac-5 thanks Kenny for his serve as will as exposing Brainiac-5 to the "high school statusphere". Kenny says that he can't handle having crazy adventures all the time, and Brainiac-5 tells him that what matters is who they have their adventures with. They look up at Kara and Nia, and Kenny agrees.
In the loft, Kara thanks Nia for letting her feel that she wasn't the only alien in Midvale. Kara wishes she could go with Nia and Brainiac-5 into space, and looks at Kenny and says that Midvale has its perks. She hopes that one day she hopes to be as much of a hero as Nia is, and Nia tells her that she will be.
Alex says that they should get ready for Kara first, and Eliza will be upset if they don't get photos first. Kara leaves with her adopted sister, and Nia tells Kara that she'll have so much fun. Kenny and Brainiac-5 fist-bump, and Brainiac-5 tells Nia that he set the spaceship on course for Uruguay where Naxim was originally captured by the DEO.
Nia has another vision of the empty cage, and hears the pink cougar nearby. She snaps out of it and tells Brainiac-5, and wonders why the cage was empty. Brainiac-5 figures that it's residual energy from the spaceship, and warns that the Kryptonite meteor will soon enter Earth's atmosphere. Once they get the debris with Kara's blood on it, they're mission is finished.
That night, Alex drives Kara to prom. Kara tells her that she knows Alex isn't thrilled about her and Kenny supering, and the alien zookeepers. Alex tells Kara that Kara was amazing, and she should be proud because she is. She says that when her father put her in charge of Kara's safety, she felt like she had to set her life aside. But when Alex came back, she realized that Kara could handle herself. Alex apologizes for pushing Kara to tell Kenny about NCU, and Kara tells her that Alex made her decide what to do with her life, and she did but just hopes it's the right choice. Her step-sister says that it is, because Kara made it.
Looking out the car windows, the sisters see the meteor storm. Kara wonders what to do with her prom mask, and Alex tells her to take it off because Kara wears a mask every day. After Kara hands her the mask, Alex says that she's going to take photos of the storm and Kara goes inside.
In the cruiser, Brainiac-5 and Nia put on their prom clothes. Brainiac-5 is stunned by Nia in her dress and tells her, and says that it's customary for couples at a prom to dance. They dance and Brainiac-5 thanks Nia for sharing her "calming technique" with him. Nia figures that her dreams are trying to warn her about something life-threatening, and wishes she could call her mom. Brainiac-5 gently tells her that she can't. The alarm warning of the approaching meteor storm goes off.
In the field, CJ finds the cloaked spaceship and manages to bring down the cloaking field. She pushes buttons until she releases Naxim and Mitch, and asks if Naxim would like to make a statement. Naxim just smiles and chuckles.
The two aliens take CJ aboard their spaceship and prepare to take off. Mitch takes CJ's phone, and Mitch confirms where Kara's presence is but the meteor storm is preventing their sensors from isolating the target. Naxim figures that they'll smoke them off and lifts the ship off.
Kara finds Kenny in a classroom, looking out the windows at the stars. They put corsages on each other, and he asks her what she wanted to tell him earlier. Kara tells Kenny that she loves him, and their fortress, and is excited to start their new life there. Looking out the window, Kara sees a meteor heading for the snow and Kenny tells her to go.
Alex is taking photos, and sees the meteor heading toward her. Kara flies up and smashes the meteor, and it shatters into thousands of kryptonite pieces. Brainiac-5 and Nia are watching and sees the meteor explode and a weakened Kara falling.
Alex and Kenny go to the gym where Kara has crashed through the roof. As Brainiac-5 and Nia come in, Kara wakes up. Naxim projects his head holographically, and Nia realizes that the empty cage in her dream was showing her that the aliens had escaped their cage. The alien tells Kara, Nia, and Brainiac-5 to surrender or he will kill everyone at the high school. He unleashes a wave of energy beams, and Kenny runs in and says that he's the Kryptonian. Naxim teleports him up to the ship, and Kara picks up Kenny's discarded corsage.
On the spaceship, Naxim figures that Kenny ids the runt of the litter. Mitch confirms that Kenny is human, and Naxim figures that Kenny wanted someone else not to be captured. He tells Kenny that now he's become bait.
Nia and Alex lead a weakened Kara way, while Brainiac-5 scans for the spaceship. The glee club teacher comes out, singing to herself, and the group hides in a classroom. Brainiac-5 tries to sing "Nine to Five" to calm Nia down. Naxim sends an ultra-sonic signal saying that he has Kenny in his possession, and if Kara doesn't surrender herself in ten minutes, Kenny will die.
Kara plans to turn herself over to Kenny. Alex warns Kara that she's too weak, and Brainiac-5 tells Kara to leave Kenny's rescue to them. When Kara plans to go anyway, Nia knocks her out with her powers and they leave the classroom, locking the door behind them.
CJ is dictating her story in her cell, and Mitch shoves Kenny in and leaves. Kenny says that he tried to be a big hero for his girlfriend, but he's a "dumb squeaky time". CJ tells him that she's a journalist and can tell that he's courageous and a hero. She says that they're going to get out so she doesn't meet a deadline.
Alex extracts the pieces of Kryptonite from Kara's hand, and she says that she's not healing fast enough and she needs to get into natural light. As she tries to open the door, Kara tells Alex that Kenny is important to her and she hoped they'd have one night to be normal. Alex says that Kara can never be normal if she outs herself.
Alex uses the pin on Kara's discarded corsage to open the lock on the door. They go out and the moonlight shines on Kara's hand, restoring her powers. She speeds off.
Brainiac-5 and Nia scan for the spaceship to find it, and Nia has another dream of the empty cage. She approaches it, and when the cougar leaps at her she captures it in an energy bubble. Nia sees the initials POW on the cage, and she loses control of the bubble. As the cougar lunges at her, Nia wakes up. Naxim and Mitch approach them, and the pink courage jumps out of the energy surrounding Nia's hands. The two aliens run in terror as the cougar comes after them.
Going aboard the alien spaceship, Nia complains that she still can't figure out her dreams. They find CJ and Kenny, and Kenny tells them that CJ is a reporter and let Naxim out. Nia realizes that CJ is Cat Grant, the pink cougar from her dreams. Brainiac-5 opens the cell door, and he and Nia go in. The pink cougar appears in another cell, and Naxim and Mitch arrive and Naxim says that he has every prisoner except the one he wants.
Kara flies into the spaceship and shoves Naxim and Mitch back. They hit the controls and release all of the other captured exhibits, including land sharks. The two aliens depart in an escape pod, and Brainiac-5 figures that they have to stop the land sharks. Nia figures that CJ grant tell the world what happened, and Kenny finds the drone that CJ dropped, and that she was using to watch them.
The police arrive outside, and Kara braces herself and goes out as they call on everyone in the ship to surrender, along with Kenny. CJ is there to get the story, and says that everyone will soon know "Keera"'s name.
Brainiac-5 and Nia watch from inside the spaceship, and Brainiac-5 worries that they've irrevocably changed space and time. Kara is exposed, they've released a horde of land sharks, and Supergirl is trapped in the Phantom Zone. Nia suggests that they use their time machine to go back when they first landed and start over. Brainiac-5 warns about the danger, and Nia figures that if they go back to just before CJ lets Naxim out, they can safely alter history with minimal repercussions. Nia says that she can stop Kara and they can still salvage the situation.
Kara hears them talking with her super-hearing. Alex runs up as the police capture them, and Brainiac-5 and Nia sneaks off in the confusion. Kara says that she's going to fix it, breaks the handcuffs the police have put on her, and flies off.
Brainiac-5 and Nia take the cruiser back four and a half hours. They track the energy of Naxim's spaceship, and Kara comes out of the cruiser behind them and asks them not to be mad. As they go to the spaceship, Kara says that she stowed away and she saw her future when the police captured her. She figures that she doesn't want her future to be that, and asks them to let her help them change the future.
Nia says Kara is right, and Brainiac-5 talks to Nia privately and says that they can't lock Kara up. They hear Naxim ahead, and Brainiac-5 tells Kara to stay close and quiet.
Alex and Kenny arrive, and Brainiac-5 tells Nia to find CJ and Kara to cooperate with him. Alex wonders why Brainiac-5 is wearing a tuxedo, and he quickly says that it sound strange. Kara steps out and says that it's all true.
Nia finds CJ's drone and blasts it down. CJ comes over, frustrated that the drone can't collect evidence for her. She runs into Nia, who says that she knows who CJ is. CJ figures that her editor Perry White sent Nia to bring CJ back, and Nia realizes that the initials on the cage belonged to Perry. Nia says that she a college journalist, and says that CJ is a natural born leader and doesn't need the Daily Planet. CJ agrees, and Nia tells her that she has a media empire to build and women to inspire. CJ smiles and walks off.
Nia goes back to the cruiser and tells Brainiac-5 that she got rid of CJ. Kara wonders how they know the future is fixed, and they disappear in a burst of light as the presets Brainiac-5 put in place kick in. He confirms that they're back in the future, one hour before the meteor hits Midvale. Kara thanks them for restoring her future, and Alex calls to ask Kara where she is. Kara thanks Brainiac-5 and Nia, then heads back to the prom. Nia asks Brainiac-5 if they prevented CJ from freeing Naxim.
CJ is at the bar, drinking and flirting with the bartender. Perry calls CJ, who tells him that she's done on reporting on his "white-noise bunk". She says that she's quitting, and from now on her name is "Cat Grant". Brainiac-5 and Nia are secretly watching, and Brainiac-5 figures that part of their mission is done.
Naxim and Mitch are locked up in their ship, and a display comes on saying that the autopilot is taking them to Uruguay. The ship launches off, as Brainiac-5 and Nia watch. Nia says that she's not having bad dreams.
Kenny sees the meteor coming and runs to the gym where Alex is with the stunned Kara. She says that she just has a flesh wound, and Alex goes to get her van. Once they're alone, Kara tells Kenny that she loves him and their life in Midvale, but next year she can't stay there and super like they planned. Kara says that she didn't choose Midvale or her powers, and got locked into her life. However, if she stays there then she'll just get locked in again and doesn't want that. Kara says that she needs to figure out who she is, and is choosing to go to NCU. She asks Kenny to come with him.
Kenny says that before he met Kara, he was a mess because his father passed away and his mother was depressed. He ran the family shop and thought that's how the rest of his life was going to be. Then Kara came along and changed him, and when she's around he's braver, stronger, and better. Kenny has started to realize he hasn't changed as much as he wants, and it's time to figure out how he can save himself. He tells Kara that he can't go with her. Kara says that she can fly on weekend, and Alex pulls up outside and honks the van's horn.
As Kara and Kenny leave, Brainiac-5a and Nia watch from the shadows. Brainiac-5 has the piece of meteor with Kara's blood on it, and says that all of their missions are accomplished.
Back in the cruiser, Brainiac-5 tells Nia that Nia used her powers to save the space-time continuum. He kisses her and says that when they save Supergirl from the Zone, it will be because of Nia. Brainiac-5 sheds a tear, and says that he's been so consumed with negative emotions recently that he forgot how the good ones felt. He figures the point of high school is to appreciate the good emotions when they come. Nia asks him what he's feeling, and Brainiac-5 says "Hopeful" as they head back to their own time.
