Red Faced

During a flight around National City, Supergirl accidentally scares some kids after breaking up road rage between two men and hurting one of them badly. 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, who doesn't get along with James because he's friends with Superman.

At CatCo, Cat gets a visit from her mother Katherine, who has been critical of her daughter. Hank calls Kara and Alex in to the DEO base camp to test out a new weapon that was commissioned by Sam. The android, Red Tornado, is introduced by Dr. T.O. Morrow, who objects to how his project is treated. Meanwhile, Cat cleared her calendar for Katherine, only for her mother to tell her she has plans.

The next day, Kara begins her training with Red Tornado and Kara is pushed to her breaking point. After the project starts to experience damage, Kara is unaware of being told to stand down, causing it to take off. Sam then blames Supergirl for unleashing Red Tornado and orders it destroyed. After Kara yells at Cat, Cat tells her to find what she's mad at, since she knew that Kara wasn't mad at her. Red Tornado arrives to attack the Lanes after their dinner and James uses his signal watch to alert Kara, who immediately shows up to stop it, only to have the android create a tornado that puts it in harm's way.

At Lord Technologies, Maxwell states that, judging from his samples, Red Tornado is being controlled remotely by Morrow. Meanwhile, Kara and James set up punching bags, as Kara takes out her anger about being an alien and not fitting in. Alex then calls Kara to inform her that she found a way to draw Red Tornado's attention by using a hologram of Sam and that the only way to stop Morrow is to remove it or kill him. The android shows up to attack Kara, but after Alex kills Morrow, is shown to be unstoppable, almost killing Kara, and causing her to use the full force of her heat vision to destroy it.

The following day, Lucy says to James that they're on the same team and hopes that they can reconcile. Winn, having been convinced by Alex to find out more about their father, reveals that Jeremiah and Hank went missing after going to apprehend an alien and were presumed dead. Hank had survived and been deleting information from their father's file, causing them to become suspicious of Hank. Later at Cat's office, Katherine starts yelling at Kara and Cat snaps back, defending her, causing Katherine to excuse herself. Cat drops a glass, and Kara cuts her finger on it, surprising herself and feeling human.
