- An intergalactic dive bar at the outskirts of the galaxy filled with shady characters from all over the universe? I'll take "places I've never expected to be" for 500, Alex. I do take some joy in seeing that Ambush Bug remains startlingly unfunny no matter what planet you're from.

Synopsis for "A (Super)girl Walks into a Bar…"
Supergirl and Krypto have arrived at a dive bar at the edge of the galaxy, looking for the next clue to discover why Krypton got blown up. The bartender notices her Kryptonian crest, and starts whispering with the bar owner Ambush Bug. Ambush Bugh recalls Rogol Zaar dropped by not long ago[1] and wonders if she is here about him. Kara, of course, can hear every word, and loudly demands information regarding Rogol Zaar.
Meanwhile, an agent of the Circle has spotted Supergirl's vehicle parked outside. He informs Lord Gandelo, who tells him to do nothing but observe and report. Lord Gandelo doesn't trust his agent to follow his orders, but he has hired another mercenary just in case.
Inside the bar, Kara focuses on her super-hearing and spots an alien who is suspiciously nervous while trying to hide the Circle's brand on his hand. Kara is going to interrogate him when another alien steps in the way and starts gloating about Rogol ridding the universe of the Kryptonian plague. Kara realizes everybody in the bar are looking to pick a fight with her, and she is happy to oblige.
Supergirl battles the crowd, backed up by Krypto. Although there are no yellow stars nearby and her sunlight-collector suit is low on energy, Kara uses her Klurkor and Torquasm Rao's martial skills combined with Rogol's axe to fight them off. She finally corners the suspicious patron, but the bartender blasts him to ashes rather than let him speak. The bartender demands to know what Kara did to Rogol, but she is disabled by a Coluan who got involved in the brawl.
Kara finds another data crystal among the ashes of her suspect. The Coluan introduces himself as Z'ndr Kol, but Kara walks away and out of the bar. Z'ndr follows him, though, and while she's recharging her suit, he tells his family also got killed when he was a kid and he is in search of a Coluan colony. Boasting about his engineering skills, Z'ndr talks Kara into grudgingly letting him tag along until her next destination.
Supergirl's ship takes off, guided towards its next destiny by the data stone. Kara checks they're heading towards the crime scene before she starts getting sick and bleeding. They've reached the remains of Krypton.
