joblo.com tvfanatic.com
The episode starts out with Kara waking up in her bed on Krypton. She is confused and is suspecting this is some elision. Kara thinks all of the things she is seeing is projected from her memory of Krypton when her mother comes in talking to her and points out different things to try to convince her this is real. Kara eventually starts to forget her new home is called Earth.
Back at Cat Co, Cat is being impatient and is still up set with Kara for breaking up with her son when Kara hasn't shown up for work. James and Winn try to cover for her absents and are quickly running out of excuses for her. They call Kara's sister Alex, go to Kara's apartment and find Kara lying down with the parasitic alien on her. They quickly take her to the DEO. Hank gets mad at Alex for bringing James and Winn to the secret base. But Alex convinces him they are family to Kara and should be there when Kara wakes up. When they try to take the alien off of Kara, they find out Kara needs to get it of her herself or else it will kill her if they force it. Alex ends up having Hank use his martian shape shifting powers to cover for Kara at Cat Co. When he does this Cat, thinks Kara has shown her true self and says she is watching her. Hanks, just says to himself he would rather be in the martian prison over dealing with Cat.
Back in Kara's dream, Kara is seeing her family alive again and meets her cousin Cal-El, as a boy instead of Superman. She still thinks this is an elision, but is starting to forget about Earth all together.

Alex ends up getting a visit from Astra (Kara's Aunt). She convinces Alex that Kara is under the influence of a Black Mercy. We find out Non (Astra's husband) is responsible for the Black Mercy. Non and Astra have a plan to take over Earth and end humanity. But Astra still cares for her niece. Astra tells Alex, the only way to get rid of the Black Mercy is to have Kara believe her elision isn't real. Back at the DEO they end up recruiting Maxwell's help to create a device so Alex, can go into Kara's head and convince her the elision isn't real. After Alex, is successful and Kara, almost being lost forever, Kara is very angry and wants to know who did this to her. Alex and J'onn (Hank) go fight Astra, while Supergirl takes her rage on Non. Supergirl tells Non, he made her loose her family all over again and is able to beat him out of anger. Astra almost kills J'onn, but Alex stabs her with a kryptonite sword. After Astra says goodbye to Supergirl, she dies.

I think the reason why this episode is call "For the Girl Who Has Everything" is because it is based off the episode, in the animated series "Justice League" that I talked about last time, called "For the Man That Has Everything". In the episode Batman and Wonder Woman, are on their way to Superman's Fortress of Solitude. A place in the arctic where he can go to be alone and where he keeps all of his trinkets. On their way there Wonder Woman asks Batman "what do you give someone for their birthday that has everything they need". Thus the title "For the Man Who Has Everything". At the end of the episode, after they finally take care of the Black Mercy, Wonder Woman, gives Superman a rare flower and Batman, gives him cash. Now in this Supergirl episode the title doesn't have the same meaning. The meaning probably is how she lost her old family and has gained a new one.

"The Flash" Season 2 Episode 13: "Welcome to Earth-2"
joblo.com
The episode starts out with Flash racing to close all the breaches using the implosion device. After he has closed all the breaches, except the one they will be going through, they prepare to go to Earth-2. Iris is afraid Barry is going to Earth-2 to try to escape an empty and fulfilling life. Barry convinces her he has everything he needs in Earth-1 and is only going to Earth-2 to save Wells daughter. He also gets warned by Jay (Earth-2 Flash) to not get caught up in Earth-2 by it's people and problems.
After Barry, Cisco and Wells go through the breach, the speed cannon they used to go through the breach, brakes. They find themselves in Earth-2 S.T.A.R. Labs and run into a doppelganger of an old foe, who in Earth-2 is just a regular guy that just says hi to Wells. After they make their way to a room where they can seclude themselves, they see Barry's doppelganger on TV still working for the CSI. Barry gets an idea, then speeds his way to get his doppelganger then brings him where they are at S.T.A.R Labs. The doppelganger is confused at first when he sees Barry. Then when he notices Wells, he nerds out. Barry then stuns his doppelganger, knocking him out. He then puts on his doppelgangers cloths to try to find out information while Cisco tries to find Zoom.
After he gets to the police station, he finds out his doppelganger is married to Earth-2's Iris (who is the police captain) and Floyd Lawton (Dead Shot) is her partner. Except in this world Floyd, got the nick name Dead Shot, for being a lousy shot instead of never missing. Barry and E-2 Iris, go to their home and Iris tells Barry, he has a message form his mother. While he returns her call, he can't help but be emotional, hearing his mothers voice for the first time since his mother died in E-1. After he finishes the call they go to a club where E-2 Joe (Joseph) is a lounge singer and dislikes Barry (Bartholomew). While there, E-2 Caitlin (Killer Frost) and E-2 Ronnie (Death Storm) show up looking for any doppelgangers, that Zoom warned them might come. Barry, tries to talk to Killer Frost, saying this isn't who she is. The 2 villains attack, Joseph gets hit a badly injured. Barry then uses his speed to take the 2 villains to a secluded area. He ends up tricking Death Storm into hitting Killer Frost and the 2 retreat.

Back on Earth-1, a meta-human, who calls himself Geo-Mancer, is wreaking havoc to get Flash's attention. This causes Jay, to confess he didn't loose his speed to Zoom. But rather he got greedy to gain more speed. Which caused him to create velocity 6, that ended up robbing his speed. Caitlin ends with convincing Jay to help her create velocity 7, to get his speed back in order to battle Geo-Mancer. Jay then suits up as Earth-2 Flash. With the help of Joe and the police force, to go to battle Geo-Mancer. During the fight, velocity 7 wears off. But with some cooperation they end up chasing off Geo-Mancer.
Back on Earth-2, Iris and Barry are at the hospital with Joseph, who ends up dieing in his hospital bed. Barry then gets Cisco to help him, Iris and Floyd get Killer Frost and Death Storm and smoke out Zoom. After they find the villains, Cisco meets his doppelganger, who calls himself Reverb, who is Killer Frost and Death Storm's boss. Reverb shows himself to be more powerful than Cisco (Vibe) and offers a partnership and to train Vibe to be more powerful, but Vibe refuses. In a small battle between Flash, Death Storm and Reverb, Zoom shows up and kills Death Storm and Reverb for disobeying him by injuring Flash. He told them if they come across a speedster to not injure them. Zoom then just passes out Killer Frost, by chocking her, to remind her who's boss and for obeying him. The episode ends with Zoom taking an injured Flash to a cell where Wells's daughter is held up at, along with another mysterious figure in a metal mask, who taps on the glass cage wall in mores code.
I was right when I thought Killer Frost would be in Earth-2 and Caitlin wouldn't turn evil...at least for now.
