Synopsis:
Supergirl awakens after she was nearly killed by Derek and Starfire's men. Her powers have vanished, but they suddenly return. Supergirl visits Kandor where she is examined by Kryptonian scientists. They conclude that the drug given to Supergirl has caused her powers to work only intermittently. To make up for her inconvenient power loss, they equip her with an exo-skeleton to boost her strength and boot jets which allow flight.

Meanwhile, Starfire believes that Supergirl is dead. She rewards Derek for his job by killing him. She then organizes a group of female crooks who commit a string of robberies during a Mardi Gras celebration. Supergirl finds the gang, but she is knocked out during a moment where her powers are not operational.

The gang brings Supergirl to their boss. Starfire then fights Supergirl using judo and beats her. Then Supergirl's powers return. She defeats the gang, but Starfire escapes.
