Synopsis:
Supergirl and Captain Boomerang are talking in her apartment. He gives her some prison DVDs, to help her with what's coming next: attending a high school. Supergirl is now Claire Connors, a transfer student to Guggenheim High School. She deals with usual high school nonsense in the morning, but then comes the ultimate choice: who to sit with at lunch. One of the geek groups invites her to sit with them, not with the cool kids or the loner girl. She has fun, but is asked about what it was like at her old school, and remembers back to being harassed on Krypton about being part of the El family. Next, she asks advice from Wonder Girl while she fights Monsieur Mallah. Then, Claire is getting close to Drew, who starts to ask her out. Becky overhears, and interrupts, inviting Claire to a sleepover. They have fun there, but then Sarah, the loner girl, arrives, invited by Claire. Claire goes out to get food, but when she returns, she finds they are embarrasing Sarah in a game. The next day, Becky apologizes to Clarie about the incident, but then later posts pictures of it to the Internet, and instant-messages Sarah saying that it was Claire's idea. Sarah enters the restroom, and Claire and Becky follow her in, just to have Sarah pull a rope that tips a bucket over the door. The bucket spills an obnoxious liquid all over Claire. And Becky tells Clarie to stay away from her boyfriend (Drew). Everyone laughs, except Sarah, who looks sorry. Supergirl flashes back to Krypton, and how many of the people she knew were laying dead, with crystals protruding from them. Back in the present, one of the cool kids comes to Claire's defense. Claire apologizes to her, saying she's sorry she never tried talking to the cool kids, but then takes off her wig, and flies away.

Notes:
A rough translation of the French spoken by Monsieur Mallah on pages 6-8 is that he is looking for his friend in a bottle, and that his existence is futile without the Brain.
