Synopsis:
Linda Lee gets adopted by the Wilkins family. Their daughter died tragically, and Linda reminds them of her. Linda tries to get sent back to the orphanage for fear of her identity being exposed.

Her adoptive father is a police officer. Supergirl keeps an eye on her dad while he is at work and secretly acts to save him from danger. While visiting him at work, a gang throws a bomb at them. Supergirl uses her heat vision to defuse the bomb. Mr. Wilkins is afraid Linda will be hurt because of his job, like their real daughter was. The family decides to send Linda back to the orphanage.
