When initially confronting him following his recapture, she’s talks pretty condescendingly until recognizing he’s innocent of attacking the president.
Instead, he's from the neighboring world Daxam, whose people had been engaged in a long, bloody war with Krypton. More importantly, Kara, after learning about Scorcher, discovers that the DEO escapee (Mon-El) is not Kryptonian. This point of view is readily apparent in the resulting news story she writes, which is rejected in its original form by editor Snapper Carr for not being objective enough. There’s a bit of tension between them as, in a nod to the current political climate regarding immigrants, Luthor reveals herself to be decidedly pro-human whereas Kara, naturally, is defensive of aliens on Earth. First she’s assigned an interview with Luthor regarding the alien-detecting technology. On a character level, it’s a significant episode in that Kara is proving herself to have a tendency to rush to judgement. In essence, the aliens on Earth could very easily fill the role of the meta-humans created by the explosion of the particle accelerator on The Flash. On many levels it just doesn’t make sense and actually feels (though this could ultimately be proven wrong in subsequent episodes) like the writers are making sure that Supergirl has an even playing field to fight someone each week.
Somehow between seasons the presence of aliens has grown so prominent, even if they are hidden from plain site, that all of the above has come into play. In year one, the DEO was largely centered on capturing rogue Kryptonians like Astra and Non, and the occasional random extraterrestrial. For her part, Lena Luthor has developed and is ready to market a thumbprint scanner that can determine whether or not someone is human, her belief being that humans have a right to know who walks beside them.Įach of these things are worthy of exploration, but given the mythos of Supergirl to date, it feels like we’re actually missing a season’s worth of storylines.

Eventually, however, it’s revealed to be an alien named Scorcher, who is very much against the idea of amnesty, believing that it’s about as close as you can get to an alien registration act. The belief is that the attempted assassin is the escaped DEO prisoner who had arrived in a Kryptonian pod in the season one finale, and has been in a coma for most of the first two episodes of season two. Evidence of that comes from the fact that they have something of an underground society (exemplified by an aliens-only secret bar) and that the President Of The United States, Olivia Marsdin, twice attempts a very public signing of an amendment granting amnesty to extraterrestrials - and quite literally comes under fire for it. There are aliens among us, and, given the events of “Welcome To Earth,” they’ve apparently been here for quite some time.
