Welcome to Earth - S2-E3

Trivia: Towards the end while the President (played by Linda Carter, of Wonder Woman TV show fame) is speaking with Kara about Air Force One, she says "you need to see my other jet" as a reference to the Wonder Woman invisible jet.

Blood Bonds - S1-E9

Trivia: The door that Max opens with the alien inside has the number 52 as a reference to "the new 52" DC comic book series.

Manhunter - S1-E17

Trivia: It's mentioned that J'onn is being taken to project Cadmus. In the comics project Cadmus belongs to Lex Luthor - it's where he performs several experiments on metahumans and also made Superboy and Supergirl clones.

Fight or Flight - S1-E3

Trivia: At the end, Kara says to her sister "don't watch Homeland without me." David Harwood, who plays Hank Henshaw (the head of the Department of Extra-Normal Operations) also played David Estes on Homeland, and Melissa Benoist appeared in two episodes of the show.

Crisis on Infinite Earths: Part One - S5-E9

Trivia: One question Marv Wolfman continues to get asked at fan conventions is why he killed Kara off in the "Crisis" comics. With so many characters established as having survived Krypton's destruction - including Clark, Kara, Krypto the Superdog, criminals banished to the Phantom Zone, and the bottled Kandor - his goal was to make Superman unique as the planet's sole survivor; killing Kara gave him the creative freedom to return Clark to his origin as the Last Son of Krypton.

Far from the Tree - S3-E3

Other mistake: During an argument, Maggie's father mentions the border wall being built to keep people from entering the country illegally. This is obviously a reference to the real-life presidency of Donald Trump, but within the show's continuity, his comment doesn't make sense: in "Resist", the penultimate episode of season two, it's revealed that President Olivia Marsdin is literally an alien from outer space, and earlier in the season in "Welcome to Earth", she signed an executive order offering aliens such as herself full citizenship if they so desired it. If she's that tolerant of extraterrestrials, it seems unlikely that she'd be so intolerant of foreign immigrants as to resort to such an extreme action in foreign policy like building a wall on the border.

Question: Does Kat ever wise up again to Kara's secret? That and why did she (Flockhart) leave the show only to come back?

Rob245

Answer: Yes, s02e22. As Kara leaves her office, she said "go get them, Supergirl" to herself. After season 1, the show switched from a CBS production to a CW production and filming moved from L.A. to Vancouver. Flockhart isn't really a fan of traveling to shoot, and didn't want to be away from her family for so long.
