#WhySoBlue? is the 22nd episode of Season 2 of DC Super Hero Girls. It is the 74th episode overall.
Plot
Now employed by Ted Kord, Jeremiah Danvers brings Kara to work to see one of his experiments in progress. Kara quickly becomes bored and sneaks away, only to find that Ted has adopted the superhero identity of the Blue Beetle. Seeing his lack of experience, she suits up as Supergirl and offers to give him a few lessons in crime-fighting. However, she ends up doing all the work herself instead of trying to teach him. Frustrated, the Blue Beetle storms off and soon runs into Livewire, against whom he is badly outmatched. Returning to the lab, Kara learns from Jeremiah that Ted had the patience to give him a second chance after their unfavorable initial meeting (see "#DoubleDanvers") and realizes that she should have done the same. Supergirl comes to the Blue Beetle's aid and, by following a plan he devises, succeeds in freezing Livewire in a block of ice. The Blue Beetle promises not to try any superheroics until he has been properly trained, and Supergirl offers to return the favor he did for Jeremiah by giving him that training.
