More Detail:

In the second SUPERGIRL episode, “Better Together,” Supergirl seeks to live up to the city’s expectations. In the beginning scene, she tries to move an oil tanker from a quickly spreading fire. The tanker splits, leaking oil into the water. This results in people labeling Supergirl as incompetent and calling her an eco-terrorist.

Winn Schott and Jimmy Olson help her by giving her smaller threats to conquer so she can use her powers more effectively and gain the city’s trust. Kara’s boss Cat Grant pressures Jimmy Olson to snag the first sit down interview with Supergirl or risk losing his job. Supergirl meets her Aunt Astra and discovers she’s the leader of the Fort Rozz convicts. This leads to a fight between Supergirl and her Aunt Astra.

SUPERGIRL wows again with stunning special effects and a dramatic, engaging plotline. Although the episode “Better Together” is relatively free of foul language and alcohol use, and has no sexual content or nudity, intense action violence pervades. “Better Together” has a strong moral worldview with light biblical, redemptive elements stressing family bonds and good conquering evil. That said, “Better Together” is not recommended for young children. It warrants caution for older children.
