Plus it would solve the problem in five minutes. However the timing of this scene meant Kara already had most of the problem sorted on her end.
As mentioned before, money. Supergirl costs a lot in special effects anyway, so an episode with Kara depowered and in a quarry probably appealed to those keeping an eye on the budget.
Kevin Smith has moved on from Flash and gone to Supergirl? This time he's brought his daughter with him. She was okay, I guess, a bit overly emotional, but she was supposed to be an abductee. Is it just me or is this the huggiest superhero show ever?
I'm glad we're learning some real dirt on Daxam, especially in light of who Mon-El really is. I wonder if he didn't actually become ashamed of who he is until the later days of the planet?
I liked Winn's plot, but I thought it got resolved way too quickly. Or maybe it was just because of how dramatic his scene with James was when he quit.
Pretty sure you're right. The president in the Arrowverse, though? That may've been based on what was expected in real life.
Winn is the Cisco (or Curtis) on Supergirl.
I do expect/hope that to happen at some point.
There were a couple episodes last season where Cat had to go somewhere and left James in charge. Also in an episode with Siobhan Smythe it was mentioned that James was a department head.
So last season sort of laid the groundwork for Cat letting James run things this season in her absence.
Plus the whole point of the story was Kara saved the day without her powers by inspiring ordinary people to take action. So if sending another superpowered being along saves the day, what is the point of
Kara losing her powers in the first place. Just let Kara come in and knock the walls down, like Izzy thought Kara was going to do.

I don't think the gender of the Supergirl president was made out of any consideration to what was expected in real life. I would imagine it had much, much more to do with the protagonist of the series being a woman.
The first time I recall Earth-38 having a woman president was in the episode Red Faced, which aired November 30, 2015. So it was probably written sometime in September or early October.
I guess people expected Hillary to run by then but I'm not sure she was assumed to be a slap dunk to win at that point in time considering no one really knew who the Republicans would nominate
or even who would run against her in the primaries.
And Earth-1 did have a male president up until the Invaders! episode of The Flash, where-upon the female vice president became president.
I think this might be the first live action TV show, or even movie, with a Super character going to another planet, or even scenes of other planets. Previously all we have gotten is Krypton and related things
like the Phantom Zone. But so far on Supergirl we have not only seen life on Krypton, but also Mars, Daxam, going to other Earths and now Slaver's Moon. And also having aliens that look like aliens.
Jo, Brian, Giggles, Fish Head, and the other unnamed denizens of the dive bar, J'onn Jonzz, White Martians, Maaldorians, Dominators. Again previously all we had was human looking Kryptonians and
a brief appearance of Martian Manhunter on Smallville. And the movies are just stuck on rehashing Lex Luthor and General Zod over and over again.
What happened to Maxwell Lord? Is he coming back?
Is sort of odd though how Lena Luthor moves to town and sets up shop with L-Corp, which appears to be direct competition to Lord Technologies, and no one in town even notices it.
Wonder if that nutty mad scientist who kidnapped LiveWire ever worked at Cadmus?
I miss Cat Grant/Callista Flockhart a lot more than I thought I was going to.
I don't know about anyone else, but I thought this episode was really good. It hit all the elements that I love about SUPERGIRL.
