"Human for a Day" is the seventh episode in the first season of the CBS television series Supergirl, which aired on December 7, 2015. It was written by Yahlin Chang and Ted Sullivan, and directed by Larry Teng.
The episode centers on an earthquake that shakes up National City, causing the Department of Extranormal Operations headquarters to trap a suspicious Alex inside with Hank and the alien fugitive Jemm.
In the wake of her recent battle with Red Tornado and her anger issues, Kara's powers have been drained after she used the full power of her heat vision, as pointed out by the Kryptonian Artificial Intelligence which acts as Kara's holographic virtual "mother," Alura Zor-El, during her moment alone in the DEO's Kryptonian fortress chamber, and is told it would return in a few days, which is what Hank Henshaw is hoping for even though Kara is concerned about her powers never returning. Alex, more suspicious than ever, tells Kara that she doesn't trust Hank anymore but urges Kara to enjoy her day without her powers.
At work, Kara is sick and has a cold, Winn sees this and asks what's going on with her to which she replies she had to take the bus and there was a 10 year old on the bus who had a runny nose. Winn sees that since she's sick and took the bus she has lost her powers which she says is true. So when Kara gets to her desk Winn goes to get her something to help. As Cat's elevator opens Kara sneezes which Cat hears and demands who sneezed. Kara tries to hold it in but she sneezes and Cat was surprised she was sick as she's never sick to which she says that's the best part about her which Kara finds surprising. She says that if she gets sick the company will go downhill so she gives Kara the day off.
Back at the DEO, an alien conqueror known as Jemm is determined to escape, but Hank informs the psychic criminal that the neural shielding can withstand his powers. Jemm threatens Hank's family, but Hank tells him that he has none. Meanwhile, Kara and James bump into one another, who tells her that he and Lucy are getting a place together.
