But Kara didnt sign up for drunken verbal abuse, so they go to bed angry.
At school, history teacher Mr. Bernard has to pull an Earth to Ms. Danvers (ha!)

Try and keep up, she whispers.
Incredible work,Supergirl!
Alex tells them to stuff it but brushes off Karas thanks.
And you are not worth it.
The next day, Kara super-hears police scanner talk about the body of a 17-year-old male.
Great Rao, she breathes and races to the scene, where shes crushed to see Kennys body.
But hes got a solid alibi for the night before.
Kara then visits Kennys house to share her condolences with his parents, who havent recovered his telescope.
Sheriff Collins kindly tells Kara that for her own safety, she shouldnt dig around any further.
Kara agrees and then heads straight to the forest crime scene.
When a noise startles her, she swings her laser eyes around and almost zaps Alex.
When shes scared, she cant always control them, okay?
She then encourages Kara to use her powers to look for his telescope in the dark.
Kara does and finds his laptop buried in leaves.
Kara wants to turn it over to Collins, but Alex suggests they check it first.
Its full of encrypted files, so they send them to Clarks tech-savvy friend Chloe.
Then they find an email Kenny sent Mr. Bernard with a photo of him kissing Alexs friend Josie.
Look who just became a suspect!
When Alex confronts her, Josie says she and Samuel are in love.
Alex points out this is statutory rape, and Samuel needs to be locked up.
Josie tells Alex to stay out of it.
Like Kenny should have?
Yes, girl, channel your baby DEO agent mojo!
Kara sweeps them both over the railing to hover in safety.
After the police take their statements and send them home, theres someone waiting to talk sense into Kara.
asks a shocked Kara.
Its time for Kara to stop using her powers.
I just want to live with Clark and be super!
No, Noel says, she has to be human.
), and, oh yeah, she was with him during the attempted murder by car.
She calls and warns Alex (on her flip phone!
), and Alex tries to play it cool, but Collins is no dummy and pulls his gun.
He hits redial to see where the laptops stashed, and Alex shouts, The stadium!
before he hangs up.
At home, Kara paces for two seconds before bursting out the window to fly to Alex.
Although Collins is giving the patented pre-murder heres my motive villain speech, Alex isnt scared.
Someones listening right now.
Someone who can hear every single word you say, every time you breathe.
Can you feel it?
I knew youd come, Alex tells her sister.
The next day, Alex receives as old-fashioned high school shunning and sits at Karas lonely table.
Kara says Alexll get used to being on the outside.
He liked me.Allof me, she marvels, which is such a universal teenage girl feeling, it hurts.
When Alex asks to go flying later, Kara declines.
Id rather be human than risk losing you.
Kennys mother wanted them to have it as a thank you.
Before they fall asleep, Kara agrees to let Alex use the bathroom first tomorrow.
And while she still doesnt feel completely at home on Earth, I feel at home with you.
They both apologize, Alex for being mean and Kara for bottling up her own healing process.
