A Girl Called Lori

Lex has been defeated, and Kara and Lena are rebuilding their friendship, with Kara having realised she is totally and completely in love with her best friend. Kara plans to confess her feelings to Lena, but her plans are foiled as soon as she finds out about a girl called Lori. Lori is a 7-year-old girl who Lena was paired up with a few years ago as part of the Big Brothers Big Sisters of America programme. Lena takes Kara to meet Lori, and she immediately can see why her best friend is so taken by the girl. However soon after this Lori finds out that her foster parents are moving, and can't take her with her, leaving the young girl in emotional turmoil. Lena desperately wants to adopt or foster Lori, but she can't, due to the various attempts on her life, so Kara steps up to the plate, and offers to foster Lori.
