Season 2 / Episode 5 / The CW And you say National City all over CW! Almost Assimilated. Almost Kara kicks this episode off like a page straight out of my head shaking memory.

Welp, at least she does her best to help Mon-El..whoops I mean Mike, eat full stacks of pancakes, get a laser haircut and get used to human culture.
That outfit she bout to make you wear tho fam?? TRASH! CatCo: Kara got Mon-El Mike looking like he at the bottom of the food chain in a mailing room. Kara got him handing out bribery coffee on his first day. But that’s unimportant once they stop at James’ assistant’s desk for the caffeine butter-me-up and I’m sorry ya’ll but this girl Eve is so sprung it’s uncomfortably hilarious. Kara’s forced to school Mike-El? Yeah, I’m gonna go with Mike-El, on the ways of not using your powers when people can see you and how to answer those alarms that keep going off.
Kara and James talkin’ alien assimilation when the bank they’re standing directly in front of begins to get robbed. Superhomegirl springs into action but gets surprise attacked by goons who are apparently listening to Mobb Deep cuz they rolled up in ski masks and alien hammers. And they was letting’em FLY! Oh they was letting them blasts GOOO!! Supergirl takes the L early in this episode and we see James get the superhero itch, then immediately get the no-powers-having beat…
