In Episode Eight of SUPERGIRL, “Hostile Takeover,” Astra, Supergirl’s aunt from Krypton, is back for round two to recruit SUPERGIRL to save earth with her. Meanwhile, Dirk Armstrong, chairman of the Catco board, hacks into Cat’s computer, exposing all her emails to the public. Supergirl overhears Dirk conspiring to get Cat fired. In an email, it’s revealed Cat has a son, Adam Foster, whom she hasn’t seen or talked to in years.

CBS keeps SUPERGIRL fans on the edge of their seats in “Hostile Takeover.” Harrowing scenes and interesting plot twists set it apart from its Superman legacy. SUPERGIRL continues to provide a positive role for young women. Also, positive themes about putting others before self pervade. Having said this, some intense action violence makes SUPERGIRL unsuitable for small children. Caution is advised for older children.
