SUPERGIRL: Blood Bonds
Faith in Second Chances
What You Need To Know
In the “Blood Bonds” episode of SUPERGIRL, Kara’s battle between Non, Astra and the Fort Rozz crew continues. During a skirmish, Non kidnaps Director Henshaw, leaving Alex as acting director to figure out how to save him. General Lane arrives to take over the DEO and, over Alex and Kara’s objections, injects Astra with Kryptonite to get her to tell him where the Fort Rozz base is located.
Meanwhile, Cat continues to believe Kara is Supergirl. Also, Jimmy goes to Lord Technologies to find more information on Non’s attack there. He finds out Maxwell Lord is planning a counterattack against the Kryptonians, including Supergirl. Jimmy and Wynn break into Lord technologies, and Jimmy is attacked. Alex tells Kara about Director Henshaw’s secret identity. Kara and Non agree to exchange Astra for Henshaw, but will Non or General Lane scuttle this plan?
Another exciting, engaging episode, “Blood Bonds” touches on issues of having faith in oneself and faith in others. It also promotes the ideas of giving people a second chance and doing the right thing in all circumstances, especially difficult ones. However, this strong moral, redemptive worldview is mitigated by General Lane’s bad attitude and a light Romantic, antinomian message that people are inherently good. This, along with some intense violence, warrants a caution for older children for this episode of SUPERGIRL.
