"Red Faced" is the sixth episode in the first season of the CBS television series Supergirl, which aired on November 30, 2015. It was written by Michael Grassi and Rachel Shukert, and directed by Jesse Warn.
The episode centers on Kara feeling the pressure as she takes on an android commissioned by Lucy's father, General Sam Lane, while Cat's estranged mother comes to visit and Winn helps Alex investigate her father's death.
During a flight above National City, Kara gets a call from Alex about her whereabouts, but she explains to her that she wants to relieve stress. Supergirl then swoops down to break up a road rage between two men who were racing in a school zone. When one of the men tries to punch her she hurts him badly which scares the children. Hank is not happy with Kara's behavior, and Maxwell is now leading a campaign to place regulations on Supergirl. Later on, Lucy asks James to have dinner with her father, General Sam Lane, then stops and thanks Kara for the invitation as she leaves. A confused Kara learns from James that he doesn’t get along with Sam because he’s friends with Superman, and that James invited Lucy to Kara's game night.
At CatCo, Cat gets a visit from her mother Katherine, who has been critical of her daughter. Alex also pays a visit to convince Winn to help break into the DEO mainframe to find out about Jeremiah, and he agrees. Hank calls Kara and Alex in to the DEO base camp to test out a new weapon that was commissioned by Sam. Lucy then arrives with an executive order and Kara agrees. The android, Red Tornado, is introduced by Dr. T.O. Morrow, who objects to how his project is treated. James and Winn tell Kara she doesn't have to take part, but she wants to prove that she and her cousin can be trusted. Meanwhile, Cat cleared her calendar for Katherine, who changes plans to see Toni Morrison instead. Kara overhears this while she brings Cat layouts that she rejects and orders Kara to stay late and tells Kara that everyone knows she has a crush on James. During game night, Lucy (who reveals her jealousy about Supergirl) and James shows off their romantic side as Winn gives out clues.
The next day, a more upset Kara begins her training with Red Tornado, but both Hank and Sam are at odds over who is in charge. With T.O. controlling the android, Kara is pushed to the breaking point, until Morrow stops the project when it starts to experience damage and Kara is unaware she was told by Hank to stand down, causing Red Tornado to become unstable and then it takes off. Sam blames Supergirl for unleashing Red Tornado onto the city, and has Morrow fired as he orders the DEO to destroy the android. Later on, Cat is furious over Kara's whereabouts, and when Kara shows up Cat snaps at her and Kara yells at her to stop. Cat stares at Kara only to tell her that they're going to have a martini together, as Cat tells Kara she wasn't trying to be mad at her but tells Kara to find out who she's mad at. Over at Lord Technologies, Alex asks Maxwell for help in tracking down Red Tornado, but he turns her down. During dinner, Sam takes his frustrations out on James and tells Lucy that she shouldn't be with him. Red Tornado then arrived to attack the Lanes, and James uses his signal watch to alert Kara, who immediately shows up to stop it, only to have the android to create a tornado that puts it in harms way and Supergirl races to save those in its path by diverting them away from it.
