Supergirl: "The Girl with the See-Through Mind!"

Linda Danvers) recommends her old friend Lena Thorul-Colby) as a guest lecturer on telepathy to New Athens Experimental School board. Linda's going to drop by her class to greet her when she finds out Lena is having trouble with a student called Jan Thurston, who refuses to acknoledge her telepathic powers. Jan rushes away, and Linda, who knows Jan used to a loner due to being a genius, guesses Jan doesn't want to give people another excuse to shun her.

Later, Jan tries to commit suicide several times against her will, but Supergirl saves her every time. Supergirl and Lena question Jan and discover she is having awful visions.

Meanwhile, on a mansion in Santa Augusta, a sorcerer is using his magic to mind-control a woman into committing suicide so that he can steal her life-force and lenghten his own life-span. The woman manages to shatter his magic ball, and the sorcerer gets her dragged back into her cell as he looks for a replacement.

Back on New Athens Experimental School, Jan tells she keeps having visions of someone behing held captive in some old house on top of a hill. Lena guesses Jan is an empath who is feeling the emotions of someone who is being driven to suicide. Kara and Lena try to persuade her to help them find that person, but Jan wants to know nothing and leaves.

Supergirl meets her later, and explains she herself feels different and lonely due to her powers, too, and she would rather be a normal woman, but she keeps using her powers because people needs her. Kara convinces Jan, and Jan and Lena combine their telepathic powers to find the old house.

At the old mansion, sorcerer Don Romero is attempting to induce Shari Jones) to commit suicide again when Supergirl and her two friends approach the hill. Don Romero's spells nearly overwhelm Supergirl, but Jan finds out she can not only feel Supergirl's pain but also turn it off. Supergirl fights and defeats Don Romero and rescues Shari.

Later, Shari applies for a job teaching at New Athens, and Linda writes a recommendation for her. At the same time, Jan is considering to start a credit course on extra-sensorial powers.
