The second episode of "Supergirl" dives straight into action and a family-conflict zone. It will mark the entry of Astra, the new villain that Supergirl has to fight with.

The official synopsis of the new episode of the CBS series, "Supergirl," says: "When Kara's attempts to help National City don't go according to plan, she must put aside the doubts that she – and the city's media – has about her abilities in order to capture an escapee from the Kryptonian prison, Fort Rozz.
