- Sooooo… this whole episode is a Danvers Sisters murder mystery? Aka CW has to save the budget for something big.

My guess is that this is the episode Supergirl filmed while Melissa and Chyler were filming the crossover episode.

- Kara: Clark has a friend named Chloe
Me: Did… did Supergirl just make a Smallville reference?

- Teacher sleeping with a student? Supergirl is now Pretty Little Liars.

- Agent Noel Neill? Nice shout out to the original live-action Lois Lane.

- The FBI agent was really J’onn? Why would he take on Alura’s appearance instead of someone more random?

- I used to have Alex’s exact same Motorola flip phone way back when, but a different colour

- Well, this episode was a bit slow, but the murder mystery was fun.

CW should put together some webisodes highlighting the adventures of Teenaged Kara and Alex, and call it "Midvale Mysteries"

- The FBI agent was really J’onn? Why would he take on Alura’s appearance instead of someone more random?

maybe he thought that would get through to her the most

This episode reminded me so much of Smallville. I wish they had made this the premise of the series instead.

Loved the Smalleville/Chloe reference.

Really enjoyed the episode.

It wasn't bad. Alex sure was portrayed as a bitch though as a teen I thought. At least in the first half of this episode. She sure liked blaming Kara for everything she could think of. Kara it seemed felt sorry for herself a lot in this episode.

I was wondering, how did Kara get into Mrs. Lee's home? I don't remember her knocking or ringing a doorbell like most people do. Also, I wonder how long Clark has been friends with Chloe? It seems sense childhood. I wasn't aware of that if that's true.

The student/teacher affairs are getting old I think. I mean I just saw this last season with Ms. Grundy & Archie. Not surprising they don't tend to work out. I know it happens in real life, but I don't remember that happening in any Supergirl comic I've read. Maye it was necessary this time though.

I really liked this episode. I especially enjoyed the references to Smallville, and the mention of Chloe! But I also loved seeing more of Alex and Kara's childhood, and how they became as close sisters as they are now. I wasn't expecting the FBI agent to really be J'onn. That was neat, but I also wonder why he chose Alura's appearance, when he's not actually pretending to be her mother?

I felt so sorry for Kara losing her best friend Kenny like that, that was so sad.

[canflam]

The mention of Chloe was nice, but it would be better I think if she actually made an appearance on this show of course.

[Drunk On You]

That would of been awesome.
