"Ruthye, Supergirl and Krem of the Yellow Fields"

I have mixed feelings about the ending of this amazing story. Comet the Superhorse turned out to be a... person trapped in a horse's body? Anyways, Comet jump in front of Kara right before she was shot, sacrificing himself to save her. This is the second animal hurt/killed defending Supergirl, I hope the rest of the super animal don't hang around Kara after this.

Ruthye could not gather the courage to kill Krem while he was tied up. She could not kill him after offering a fair fight and having him dead rights. And when Kara returned, Ruthye was also not able to allow Supergirl to kill Krem for her. Stopping Supergirl was, in its own way, how Ruthye saved Supergirl from completely losing her way. After knowing Kara's origin, how she carried Krypton's end on her shoulders plus everything else they experienced in their search for Krem, Supergirl would have killed this defeated man. Instead, they let him live, by live I mean they send him for hundreds of years to the phantom zone. I truly believe this was a worse fate than just dying. So, Justice was... served? Maybe?

The girls reunite after seemingly hundreds of years later, still friends, to release Krem from the Phantom Zone. A pleading, begging and supposedly regretful old Krem spent his last seconds on his knees. And after all that time doing his sentence, they still killed him? Maybe they just thought this man was never truly going to change? Maybe I'm not smart enough correctly assume why they did what they did, but I don't blame them.
