Synopsis for "Trapped in Kandor!"
Linda Lee begins her daily routine, and is almost late for class, and begins to realize that she took her lost super-powers for granted. That day, her class goes on a field trip to the Daily Planet in Metropolis. There Clark Kent tells Linda that he's going to make one final attempt to come up with a way to restore her powers. Watching this from her monitor on Kandor, Lesla-Lar comes up with an idea to trick Superman to further her own criminal goals.
That night, Lesla-Lar uses her devices to swap places with Linda Lee as she sleeps, so that she can operate on Earth under the guise of Linda Lee/Supergirl, while the real Supergirl is mentally conditioned to think she is Lesla-Lar. She meets up with her partner, Lex Luther in his prison cell and tell him that she wants him to build a Kryptonite ray to destroy Superman, seeing how to do so herself would kill her. They plot to assassinate Superman when he reveals Supergirl to the world, so that the world figures Supergirl is on the side of the law, while in reality Lesla-Lar is working with Luthor.
While in the city of Kandor, "Lesla-Lar" goes about her daily tasks and becomes interested in Supergirl's exploits. She begins watching video presentations of Supergirl completely unaware that she is watching her own history. While on Earth, the real Lesla-Lar, still posing as Linda Lee meets with Superman. Superman tells "Linda" that he cannot restore her powers, however Lesla-Lar tricks Superman into thinking she found an instant cure and restored her powers from breathing the vapors of a melted rock. Using her x-ray vision "Linda" spots a canyon that is being effected by an Earthquake. Superman rushes to the rescue, and "Supergirl" secretly reshapes the rocks Superman is knocking aside into a unique stone formation across a road. Later while congratulating her for her help, Superman reveals to "Supergirl" that he is convinced her powers have returned in full and she has not lost any skill and decides that they should reveal her to the public right away. This plays right into Lesla-Lar's plans.
