A new threat surfaces in the upcoming episode of "Supergirl." Facebook/CBS

Senator Miranda Crane (Tawny Cypress) will be abducted by the very specie she professed to hate in the upcoming episode of the hit CBS series "Supergirl."

In "Strange Visitor From Another Planet," the episode's synopsis reveals that the female politician will find herself in a tricky situation when an alien kidnaps her. A White Martian will reportedly have enough of Crane's anti-alien campaign and will teach her a lesson she will never forget. Kara Danvers (Melissa Benoist) will do her best to track the extraterrestrial and save the senator, but she also has to deal with a hurting Hank Henshaw (David Harewood).

The head of the Department of Extranormal Operations (DEO) will have to face the Martian, one of the aliens responsible for the destruction of his own race. Before the series went on its winter break, viewers learned of Hank's secret. He was actually Martian Manhunter, the humanoid from the red planet known for his green skin. Kara learned of his true identity and the story behind his sad life after watching all his people die.

Now that a representative of his most hated alien race has surfaced, Hank must reign in his hate to devise the best plan to take him down. The senator's involvement will be a huge hurdle, as a flimsy human in between two angry aliens will have no way of defending herself. Kara will have to be careful as well, guarding Hank and making sure Crane is safe and alive. Will Hank and Kara defeat the White Martian?

Meanwhile, Cat Grant's (Calista Flockhart) estranged son, Adam (Blake Jenner), finally arrives in National City. Previous spoilers reveal that Jenner, Benoist's real-life husband, would come to shake Kara's world. The CEO of CatCo has revealed the existence of her son before the winter break, admitting to her assistant that they did not have a good relationship. Adam has been raised by his father, and he rarely got to see Cat.

Adam will reportedly find his mother's nerdy assistant cute and fascinating. Cat will not find his interest funny, though. Will he make things more difficult for Kara? Cat still thinks she is Supergirl, even if she denied it many times. Is being a superhero not enough description for a future daughter-in-law?

"Supergirl" airs Mondays at 8 p.m. EST on CBS.
