"Falling" is the sixteenth episode in the first season of the CBS television series Supergirl, which aired on March 14, 2016. The episode was written by Robert Rovner & Jessica Queller, and directed by Larry Teng.
Cat is interviewed on an episode of The Talk, during which she speaks very highly of Supergirl. When back at CatCo, she tasks Kara to find Winn, whom Kara sees making out with Siobhan in a storage closet using her X-Ray vision. At the DEO, Senator Crane is impressed with Hank's leadership and offers to provide more funding to the agency. Kara races off to assist firefighters in the rescue efforts after a satellite crashes. Suddenly, she staggers, and red glowing veins briefly appear on her face. She ignores it and flies off, not noticing the glowing red object underneath the debris.
Kara develops a more confident and abrasive attitude, leading her to upstage Siobhan when asked for a list of replacements for Lucy's position. Her behavior also affects the DEO's mission to capture a K'Hund—believing he is not worth her time, she lets him go after a brief fight. Alex and Hank are upset, unable to believe Kara's different behavior, but Kara angrily criticizes Hank for hiding his true identity as a Martian. Back at CatCo, Cat is growing tired of Kara's new behavior and discusses it with her. Siobhan then presents footage of Supergirl letting the K'Hund go, but Cat refuses to run the story. Kara discovers Siobhan has offered the story to Perry White, hoping to gain a job at the Daily Planet. She passes the information to Cat, who fires Siobhan for self-centered disloyalty.
Alex eventually captures the K'Hund, who tells Alex and Hank what really happened. That night at a club, Kara starts making advances toward James, insulting Lucy and making him uncomfortable. They are interrupted by a call from Cat, who asks James to contact Supergirl for her. After arriving at Catco, Kara dresses down Cat and throws her off the balcony, saving her at the last second to instill fear. James and Winn head to the DEO to inform Hank and Alex about Kara's strange behavior. Hank suspects she was affected by something and runs a scan that detects a form of kryptonite at the location of the fire. Maxwell Lord arrives and admits the substance was a synthetic kryptonite meant to be used against Non and his Kryptonian army. He says that Kara's infection was accidental and offers to create an antidote. Alex confronts Kara, now clad in a Kryptonian military uniform, who pours out years of resentment on Alex before flying off.
