James and Lena are still butting heads about running Catco, which doesn't go unnoticed by Kara but is immediately dissolved when they see Morgan Edge on the tv.
He's with sick children in the hospital funded by Lena. It turns out those children (including a child from Ruby’s school) have lead poisoning. A result of the bomb Lena built to get the Daxamites to leave. Her confrontation with Edge just leaves Lena feeling more guilty. Supergirl’s decision seems to have a domino effect, not just to her but to everyone involved.
Lena is surrounded by her friends in this crisis and even takes James’ advice to step down from Catco and L-Corp until this is resolved. What really hits Lena is when the father of one of the sick kids gets into the building and verbally attacks and threatens her. With all her work on not being seen as another Luthor it seems her work is starting to crumble.
There is a group of protesters at the press conference and before Lena could fully finish, there's an assassination attempt. While she's fine, James is shot in the shoulder. James is quickly patched up and Winn does another test of the device. Instead of the small margin of error, they say before, Winn shows Kara there is a 10-percent chance that it could've caused the lead poisoning
Lena is full of guilt over the lead poisoning that may be her fault. Samantha's brings her to her home until things die down. She gets drunk when she's left alone and Kara comes over but her words fall on deaf ears. Lena accepts that no matter what she does, she will always be a pariah.
Samantha and Kara team up to find that all of the kids ate at a Food Truck a few weeks ago. Yeah eating food from a truck may cause a few health issues.
They get to the grounds that the food truck was at during Oktoberfest. They find the community swimming pool where Kara sends a sample to Winn who confirms it is poisoned with a chemical compound that will show the same symptoms as lead poisoning. This was put in the pool under the guise of chlorine from Acre Lee.
Lena remembers the name of the company as one that Morgan Edge bought. Instead of telling them this, Lena goes to confronts him intending to shoot him. That escalated quickly but he did poison kids so I don't feel bad for him.
Instead of killing him, Lena is knocked out by one of his goons and ends up on a plane which is being piloted by Morgan Edge and his goon with an intent to poison the whole water supply. Luckily, they get part of Lena’s messages from Supergirl gets the load before it hits the water. Morgan tries to crash the plane but Supergirl gets there in time to save both Lena and chemicals. Morgan kills his henchmen after their failure and drives off.
Morgan gets away with it again. He cleans up his tracks by framing his partner and making sure the company was already sold. Morgan is setting up to be one of the worst villains yet. With his only motive is being rich and powerful.
Alex and Maggie have decided to break up. They're at a standstill with one of them wanting kids and the other not and neither going to change their mind about this. Although they talked it to death, neither will budge. Despite all of the crap she's been through that day, Kara still shows up for Alex.
I'm betting this is the season that Lena goes evil or maybe teeters on the edge of evil. Lena has slowly risen to a fan favorite but it's not out of the question for her to turn full dark Luthor especially after she threatened Morgan which is sure to come to light.
Speaking of, Samantha is learning of her powers very soon. After noticing a hole in her shirt, she finds a bullet in it. A bullet that hit her during the assassination attempt but didn't hurt her. With how close she is getting to Kara and Lena, they're sure to be one of the first people she tells about it. And with Kara knowing much about aliens, it would be too long before she figures out she isn't the only Krypton left.
