I think I said this before, I love the posting schedule.
I think it is amazing at how fast Kara is assimilating the powers. I bet at this time (first flight until current flight) Clark was still crashing into things. Certainly not:
Skimming just over the surface of the water, she followed a zigzag course to shore, avoiding a couple of boats. She hovered, hidden behind the breakwater, and waited for a few seconds, looking for a place she could leave the man without being seen, but where he’d be found quickly.
She zipped over behind an office and gently laid the man down. She stuck two fingers in her mouth and whistled loudly, then took off. Below her she heard, “What in the world was that?”
She waited long enough to see a couple of men come out of the office and find the man she’d saved; then she darted back to the cottage.
One of the men saw a flash of blue and red out of the corner of his eye, but when he looked up there was nothing there.
Three seconds later she was back home. The rapid flight had dried her suit and hair, but she was still covered in dried Delaware Bay water. For the first time she noticed the smell, which to her enhanced senses was acute. “Ewwww…”
It took her an extra seventeen seconds to shower with her uniform on, then dry off and put it away. Less than a minute after leaving the marina she was in school, walking back towards the cafeteria. Elapsed time: six minutes, twenty-four seconds.
I agree with Virginia and Framework that the next interesting test will be the therapist appointment. I will be interested in seeing how they handle that. From the way Penny reacted to her initial claims to be the daughter of Lois and Clark Kent I am unsure how much they will think they can tell her. I suspect that if she begins to look into moving Kara to a different home/environment they might be forced into bringing her in but nothing has happened (that they know of) strange enough to make that push yet. Of course as powerful as Kara is now I don't think I would want to try to 'make' her move if she did not want to...

There was a hint earlier in the story.
