Imagine the asset Nia would be if she were a DEO agent and combined her powers with Brainy's predictions.
Quoting jacksc01:
Or else... Lena may already know that Kara is Supergirl, but is just playing along (like Cat Grant did). After all, the secret is Kara's to tell. So Lena may have decided that the best course of action right now is to keep it to herself. Don't forget - Pete Ross accidentally discovered that Clark was Superboy when they were both still in high school, but kept that knowledge to himself for a long time. Lena and Kara may be following the sort of same plot line here.

Yes, I am thinking that Agent Liberty will only be the big bad through the first half, too. They will probably use him to segue into the Red Daughter arc. Or, they may even finish with him earlier and bring in Lex as a filler between the two arcs since he is set to appear in Episode 15 I believe.
To some extent, Supergirl has been doing 2 arcs per season all along, though the arcs aren’t quite as separate as you seem to be calling for. She faces a human enemy early in the season, then evil aliens in the back half of the season.
1a: Maxwell Lord
1b: Non/Indigo
2a: Cadmus
2b: Rhea/Daxamites
3a: Morgan Edge
3b: Reign
4a: Agent Liberty
4b: Red Daughter
I'm not sure Agent Liberty can be compelling for a full season. Sam is great, but trying to stretch one villain out a full season is always really difficult.
I'm kinda wishing that they would separate their seasons into 2 "big bad" arcs, so the fall and spring feel like 2 different seasons. They can be loosely connected, though. I"m very much thinking of how SHIELD has done their past 2 or 3 seasons.
I honestly think it's something all the Arrowverse shows could benefit from.
