Supergirl season 1, episode 8, “Hostile Takeover,” airs tonight, as Kara faces her aunt, General Astra.
Previously
After her fight with Red Tornado, Kara suffered a power outage. Naturally, an earthquake struck the city, and Kara was forced to face her own helplessness. However, with James’ support, she overcame it and acted heroically anyway. After James nearly died falling down an elevator shaft, Kara’s powers returned and she aided the city in its recovery efforts.
Meanwhile, Alex learned that Hank Henshaw is not who he says he is. He is actually J’onn J’onzz, the Martian Manhunter. Jeremiah Danvers and Hank Henshaw were sent to South America to track him down, but they discovered J’onn was not a threat. Jeremiah wanted to leave him alone but Henshaw wanted to terminate him. Jeremiah attempted to stop the mission, and both he and Henshaw were killed. J’onn, however, promised to take care of Alex, so he took Henshaw’s form, returned to the DEO to reform it, and eventually recruited Alex.
