The lightning effect is cool.

Cat telling Kara to go get help is her way of covering for Supergirl's arrival, right?

Kara's adopted mom is an idiot.

Considering Superman actually turned into a lightning being once this origin for Livewire makes way more sense than it should.

Okay I can actually accept Cat not recognizing Kara as Supergirl after downing all that wine.

I'll just assume she's at least kinda drunk every other time she meets Supergirl as well.

I like how they did a better Electro and ASM2. Though every time I heard Leslie Willis, I I heard Wesley Willis.

I can't help to think that the line about "tentacles down there" is referencing that comic where Superman has pincers on his dick.

Love quadrilateral. And who kisses a coworker in the middle of the office?

I did like Winn mentioning that his father was a "bad guy" and in prison. Guess that's the setup for the Toyman there.

Given the reference to Lexapro and Cat's freakout last week while she was writing her article, I'm now assuming that Cat Grant goes through life so loving high that Hunter S. Thompson would bow his head in respect.

This is Urotsuki.
Holy poo poo I started flipping the gently caress out when Leslie started doing her shock-jock schtick. I seriously thought they were going to slow-burn her transformation but nope, here's loving Livewire right out of the gate. :woop:

Livewire is dope as gently caress and I hope she makes another appearance later. (Fun fact: She's a continuity implant from the DC animated universe, like Harley.) The way she was handled in live action is basically exactly how she was handled in the DCAU and I really hope this episode does gangbusters because it was loving great.

Nobody move and nobody gets hurt.

Based on the last scene between them I'm assuming Cat either knows Kara is Supergirl or at the very least has a strong suspicion. It makes some sense that she would keep her knowledge a secret, especially if her goal is to make Supergirl better through advice (which comes across as unbiased and no-bullshit since as far as Kara knows Cat isn't trying to manipulate her).

"Jesus, did I say that? Or just think it? Was I talking? Did they hear me?"
That was some Sid 6.7 stuff; Livewire should have started eating glass to heal herself.

Pretty good episode all around.
