Quotes 

• Bus Driver : [as Kara gets off the bus well between stops]  This is the middle of nowhere!

  Kara : I know. It's called "Kansas".

• Supergirl : This is all my fault. If I'd have stayed home, none of this would have happened.

  Superman : You couldn't have known about this.

  Supergirl : But I did. I saw that guy come into town. He gave me the creeps. I should've checked it out, but I was in such a rush that I left anyway. We've gotta get back there. Everyone's in danger; Pa, Owen, all my friends.

  Superman : I need to know what we're fighting. It's obviously an alien spore. I wanna put it under a microscope.

  Supergirl : Just hurry.

• Kara : [flipping through a comic book her friend Owen gave her]  "Spider Powers"? Ew!

• Kara : Wow. The town is deader than usual. Where is everybody?

  Martha Kent : Patience.

  Jonathan Kent : [arriving at their destination]  Here we are.

  Kara : Don't tell me the circus is back so soon.

  Jonathan Kent : No, it's much better than that.

  Kara : Hey, Owen. What's up?

  Owen : [monotone]  Unity.

  Kara : Unity? What's that? New band?

  Reverend Amos Howell : There you are, Jonathan and Martha. We've been waiting for you. Ah, and this must be Kara, about whom I've heard so much.

  Kara : I know you. The man from the bus station.

  Reverend Amos Howell : The Reverend Amos Howell, at your service. A humble traveler spreading the word of Unity.

  Kara : Which is what, exactly?

  Reverend Amos Howell : The one true source of universal bliss. Nations fall and demigods fade, but only Unity is absolute, all-encompassing and eternal.

  Kara : [creeped out]  Ugh. Does Pastor Ross know about this?

  Reverend Amos Howell : Oh, he was among the first converts. Your step-parents, your neighbors, indeed everyone in Smallville has embraced the call of Unity. Now it is time for you to do the same.

• Kara : I can't wait. The bus is just a mile away.

  Jonathan Kent : How do you kn... oh, never mind.

  Owen : [running up]  Hey, Kara.

  Kara : Hey, Owen.

  Owen : Your folks said you were going to Metropolis, so I brought you something to read on your trip.

  Kara : Comic books?

  Martha Kent : [whispering]  Be nice.

  Kara : Thanks.

  Owen : No problem. Uh, maybe you could drop me a postcard from the big city.

  Kara : Gee, I'm gonna be pretty busy.

  [Martha nudges her] 

  Kara : Sure.

  [her bus pulls up] 

  Kara : Oh, darn, here's the bus. See ya.

• Kara : Going back to Smallville is sad enough. But do I have to take the bus again?

  Clark Kent : You know how important it is we keep a low profile. Besides, it's only two days. You get to see a lot of the country and meet some interesting people. It'll be fun.

  Kara : [on the bus, hearing one passenger's country music and another's baby crying]  "Fun," he said.

• Kara : [writing to Jonathan and Martha]  Dear Ma and Pa, so far I've been having a blast in Metropolis. Clark's been showing me the sights and introducing me to all the local celebrities. Even better, Lois Lane's been taking me with her to all the major press events. The Metropolis Meteors made me their honorary batgirl. Won't Barbara be jealous. Naturally, Supergirl's been seeing her share of big-city action, too. Well, that's all for now, See ya in a couple days. Love, Kara.

• Supergirl : Mrs. Kent?

  Doctor #1 : She's much better now.

  Supergirl : [seeing the look in her eyes]  No, she's not!

  Doctor #2 : There's no greater healer than Unity.

• Reverend Amos Howell : As shadows fall in twilight, so shall we spread across the land. Go now. Go forth and spread Unity.

  Supergirl : [using a silo as a roadblock]  Sorry. Road's closed.

• Volcana : You're out of your league, Super-Snot. If I was too hot for Superman, I'll roast you like a marshmallow.

  Supergirl : [using her freeze breath to stop a fireball]  You're all hot air, Volcana.

  Volcana : [throwing more]  Is it hot in here or is it just me?

  Supergirl : Hot? I think I'm getting frostbite.

  Volcana : It's your cremation, kiddo.

  [Kara punches through the pavement to hit a water main] 

• Kara : Yahoo! Spring break at last.

  [getting dressed and hurrying downstairs] 

  Kara : So long, snoozeville. Hello, Metropolis.

  Jonathan Kent : Just a minute, little lady. You still have your chores.

  Kara : Done...

  [speeding away and returning with a basket of eggs] 

  Kara : ...and done.

  Martha Kent : Kara, you know how that upsets the chickens.

  Jonathan Kent : Good thing I didn't ask her to milk the cow.

  Kara : [a cow moos; holding a container of milk]  Oops.

• Jonathan Kent : And we were actually part of some alien conspiracy?

  Kara : Yeah, Pa. And you were crankier than usual. But I can't tell you how great it is to have everything back to normal.

  Martha Kent : I thought you found normal boring.

  Kara : Well, at this point, boring's not so bad. I'm even meeting Owen down at the comic store.

  Jonathan Kent : [looking out the window]  Say, Martha, did you see what the Langs are growin'? Looks like rutabaga.

  Martha Kent : I don't know, Jonathan. Looks like turnips to me.

• Unity : You are nothing. Behold the true power of Unity.

  Supergirl : Superman!

  Unity : [swatting her away]  Together, we will force your subjugation.

  Supergirl : No, you don't!

• Martha Kent : I hope you'll try to act more normal while you're staying with Clark. You know how he likes to keep a low profile.

  Kara : No offense, but what's so great about being normal?

  Jonathan Kent : Now, see here. If it's good enough for us humans, it's good enough for you.

  Kara : [kissing his cheek]  If you say so.

• Martha Kent : Give in, Kara. Don't resist.

  Doctor #1 : Accept us.

  Martha Kent , Doctor #1 , Doctor #2 : Accept Unity.

  Superman : Supergirl!

  Supergirl : [he uses his x-ray vision to sever the alien tentacles]  Thanks. But how did...

  Superman : Remember when Ma woke up? It was the x-rays.

• Kara : I'm home! Ma? Pa?

  [meowing, the cat comes out from under the kitchen table] 

  Kara : Hey, Streaky. Miss me? What's the matter? No one feed you today?

  Jonathan Kent : Kara?

  Kara : Oh, hi, guys.

  [with a hiss, Streaky jumps out of her arms] 

  Kara : Streaky! What's gotten into him?

  Martha Kent : You're early.

  Kara : Well, I didn't want you making a run to the bus station on my account.

  Jonathan Kent : But we were going to pick you up and take you someplace special.

  Kara : Let me guess. It's all-you-can-eat night at the Pig Pit?

  Martha Kent : You'll see.

• Superman : I got here as soon as I could. What happened?

  Supergirl : [whispering]  I told them I got a distress call from the Midwest. I found her with that thing sticking out of her.

  Doctor #1 : I've never seen anything like it. The x-rays show some kind of parasite wrapped around her brain stem.

  Doctor #2 : We can't remove it without killing her.

  Supergirl : [Martha moans]  Mrs. Kent?

  [lowering her voice] 

  Supergirl : Ma?

  Martha Kent : Kara? Clark? Help me.

  Supergirl : What's happening to her?

  Doctor #1 : [checking her eye]  We have to run more tests.

  Superman : [leading Kara away]  Come on.
