"Stronger Together" is the second episode in the first season of the CBS television series Supergirl, which aired on November 2, 2015. It was written by series developers/creators Greg Berlanti, Ali Adler and Andrew Kreisberg, and directed by Glen Winter.
The episode centers on Kara's attempt to put a positive image on Supergirl as she attempts to capture a Kryptonian prisoner from Fort Rozz, while Cat pressure James' connection to Superman to get an interview with Supergirl.
In the week after her exposure to world as the Girl of Steel, Kara is pushed to the limits in her role as Supergirl. She races to the location of a fire and attempts to stop the ship from exploding, resulting in a massive oil spill in the ocean. Kara is ridiculed by the media for taking on more than she could chew. Her actions also receives condemnation from businessman Maxwell Lord, who blames Supergirl for bringing problems to National City. Meanwhile, Cat, who wants to get a handle on the Supergirl angle, pressures James to use his connection to Superman to get her an interview with Supergirl. James is worried that doing this assignment would put Kara in an uncomfortable position, but sees it as an opportunity to build a positive image for Supergirl; Kara agrees to the interview.
Kara continues her training at the DEO, with Alex challenging her physically in a room containing Kryptonite, where Alex defeats Kara. She enlists James and Winn to help put a new spin on Supergirl by tackling smaller situations, desperate to prove she is capable in handling any threat, like her cousin. It works, though Alex is upset that Kara revealed herself to James and Winn, and apologizes to Kara for the tough training.
In a flashback to Krypton, Kara wishes she could spend more time with her mother, Alura, who is always working; she has a tremendous amount of respect and aspires to be just like her some day. She learns about a Hellgrammite, an insect with a capacity to disguise itself that shoots icicle-like venomous darts, from her holographic device. In the present, Kara surveys a plant that was attacked by a Hellgrammite, an escapee from Fort Rozz, who is in need of DDT (his source of food) to survive. Alex and other agents plan to bait the Hellgrammite by taking DDT from National City's local plant via truck escort; but he knocks out the agents and abducts Alex, taking her to an abandoned warehouse. There she comes face-to-face with General Astra; Astra reveals she used the Hellgrammite to lure Kara, intending to kill her and take over Earth.
