The story
When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl, reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice.
Supergirl recap
When Krypton exploded, Zor-El and Alura saved a piece of it, Argo City, where their daughter Kara grew up while its exposed kryptonite slowly killed its people. After Alura died, Kara and her dog Krypto were sent to Earth, where her cousin Kal-El took them in. On her 23rd birthday, partying across the galaxy, Kara meets Ruthye, a young woman whose family was murdered by the bandit Krem. Kara refuses to help with Ruthye's revenge, until Krem steals her ship and poisons Krypto, who has three days to live. Kara and Ruthye chase Krem, who carries the antidote, from planet to planet. On one, they fight off the Brigands, who kidnap women as brides, with help from the bounty hunter Lobo. On another, a green sun leaves Kara powerless.
Supergirl ending explained
Kara recovers under a yellow sun, puts on her Supergirl suit, and with Lobo frees the Brigands' captives. She talks Ruthye out of killing Krem, then kills him herself with his own sword, and saves Krypto with the antidote. Back on Earth, she tells her cousin she is staying for good. Kara returns in Man of Tomorrow (2027).
