Supergirl's Secret Marriage!
Storyline
A jealous alien female, disguised as a male, fakes a marriage with Supergirl (who has temporary amnesia from green kryptonite) so that her monitoring boyfriend will get over his obsession with Supergirl. Supergirl's tip-off: the alien put her arms around Supergirl's neck, rather than her waist or shoulders, when kissing. It was pretty game of Supergirl to play along until she could figure it out...
