This one lacks the IQ of a 4th grade life science student.
Supergirl dies. She's killed by her clone at night so there's no sun to keep her charged. So Alex wishes her alive by dumbsplaining to her and, painfully obviously, the rest of us that, hey, there's sunlight in everything. The plants, the grass the trees. And suddenly, by magic, Supergirl starts sucking sunlight in the form of luminous wormlike strands from the surrounding flora. Eye roll. Eye roll. Coma.
To the writers of this mess, photosynthesis involves the conversion of sunlight and carbon dioxide into chemical energy and oxygen. Now, chlorophyll will trap light energy to facilitate this, but it only traps red and blue light, neither of which would help Supergirl. I don't recall how long the energy is trapped, but I'm certain it's not for hours. Not that it can be extracted anyway - at least not by a DEAD PERSON.
The only good thing about this episode is we finally see Brainiac.
Had it not been for the flaunted stupidity of the reverse photosynthesis induced Kryptonian resurrection, this would have only been a bad episode instead of a complete, mind-numbing waste of time.
