Synopsis:
Supergirl's Kryptonian mother Allura is heartbroken due to her separation from her daughter. Doctors report that she will die unless something is done. They contact the Danvers family, who then try to force Supergirl to leave them and return to her Kryptonian family.

Supergirl discovers the scheme, then quickly flies to Kandor to meet with the doctors. The group arrives at a solution in which Fred and Edna Danvers are sent to Kandor, while Zor-El and Allura join their daughter on Earth. Supergirl must educate her Kryptonian parents on their powers, and the Danvers must adjust to life in Kandor.
