"But instead of the usual cheers," "Supergirl's intervention was met with skepticism and fear." "Some say Supergirl was under a mind-altering drug when she attacked the city." "But she turned against our people once." "The question on everyone's minds, what's to stop her from turning against us again?" "First Sandy Bullock steals my bike at spin class and then the juice bar runs out of chard, and now this?" "I knew people would be slow to forgive Supergirl, but this is ridiculous." "And now the crime rate in National City is up a whopping 40%." "Do you think Supergirl has lost the public's trust for good?" "Well, I suppose if Mel Gibson can present at the Golden Globes, then Supergirl can win the city back." "This too shall pass." "Kara, go find me a juice bar with an abundance of chard." "Uh, Ms. Grant," "I already told you, Kara's out sick today." "That was at 9 AM" "Generally, when people are sick it lasts the whole day." "Well, that is unacceptable." "Who will man the phones?"

"And when I call to follow up, they're polite on the phone until they hear my name and then, dial tone." "That's weird." "Why?" "Because that blond mean girl ratted me out to the Queen of All Media." "Oh, Siobhan, that's crazy." "No." "What's crazy is that I've spent my entire life trying to be a journalist, and in one fell swoop," "Kara Danvers dashed all my dreams." "I hate her, I hate her, I hate her." "Okay, listen." "You just had a setback, okay?" "And you know what?" "All powerful people have setbacks." "So, you just focus on what you really want."

"They wanna know what he's done and who knew about it." "So everyone here will be interviewed." "All activities, all communications scrutinized." "Sounds like a witch-hunt." "This is an internal investigation done by the book to identify, remove and ultimately prosecute enemies of the state." "And you're here as our legal counsel to protect our civil rights?" "HARPER:" "She's here because this investigation required someone familiar with the players, someone the government could trust to help cut through the subterfuge." "I'm concerned everyone here has been compromised by him." "You should be too." "Which is why we need to figure out who knew what when, and uncover anything J'onn J'onzz and his confederates were planning." "We'll deal with the question of your loyalties later."
