It's time, my son.

Ja. Ja.

Come here, baby.

It's okay.

What do we have here?

It's a flower
from your garden.

Oh.

I love it.

You are such
a special boy.

You keep drawing, hmm?

I love you.

Never, ever forget that.

Mommy. Mommy.

-Mommy. Mom.
-It's okay. It's okay.

I'm gonna make the world pay
for what it's done to you.

I swear it.

No, Jordan.

You continue your mission.

Fix this country.

Make it safe
for our boy.

-Promise me.
-I promise.

I promise.

What is it?

If anyone tries
to stop you...

...destroy them.

Christine?

Christine?

I'm loving this

Blue Valley
oldie station, right?

Please, God,
make it stop.

Yeah, it's pretty good.
This DJ is a hoot, huh?

Can you change
the radio station?

They play
the same ten songs

over and over,
and they're all
fossilized garbage.

You know what?
You want a little public radio,

you got it.
Straight outta Lincoln.

Let me know.

Oh, hey,
a friendly reminder.

Family dinner
is tonight at 6:30.

I'm thinking
I'll make fish,

maybe some salmon
or a nice tilapia.

How about some fish sticks?

-No, Mike,
because fish sticks--
-Are awesome.

You can't even
taste the fish.

All right, shotgun.

You know,
I've never seen him

eat a piece
of fruit. Seriously.

You ready to go?

Don't drive me to school.

What? Why not?

Because we have to find

the rest of
the Injustice Society.

They've probably assumed
new identities

in Blue Valley
like Brainwave did.

Okay, weren't you even
a little scared
of Brainwave?

I mean, we both
could have been killed.

But we weren't,

and as crazy
and insane as it was,

it was the first time
since we moved

to Blue Valley that I

felt like I was
in the right place.

Like, I finally know
who I really am.

Starman's daughter.

Stargirl.

Okay, Court.

Even if there
are other members
of the ISA here,

we need to proceed carefully.
Lay low, make a plan.

I have a three-point plan.

Find them,
surprise them,
kick their asses.

We're Stargirl
and STRIPE.

Okay, being a superhero
is not being one
most of the time.

- I need to find out
if Brainwave was alone or not

and I need for you
to go to school

and just act like
a normal teenager.

-That's boring.
-It's safe.

Text,

tweet, do your homework,

whatever, just...

-Will you do that?
-Okay. Fine.

Thank you. Thanks.

Keep working on STRIPE,

and if Brainwave wakes up,
come get me from class.

Do you ever listen
to anything that
I say to you? Ever?

Everything.

Keep your eyes open.
Remember, they could
be anywhere or anyone.

Dr. Barnes, dial 182, please.

Dr. Forest, please dial 118.

Oh, oh, hey, Dad.

Dad, check out
my rising card trick.

Let's see it.

Very good, Joey.

I'm thinking
I can close

-my act with it.
-Yeah, yeah.

-Mind if I give you
a pointer for your show?
-Yeah, sure.

You see,
a magician's greatest tool

isn't just his hands.
It's distraction.

Keep smiling,
keep them talking,

always look them
in the eye.

You do that...

- They won't see
what's right in front of them.

Cool.

Honey, wait,
don't forget your hat.

A magician
always needs
his hat.

-You look great.
-Thanks.

-You'll be wonderful, honey.
-See you.

-Okay.
-Good luck.

Everything okay?

Hi!

Hey. You're new, right?

-What was your name again?
-Uh, I'm Courtney Whitmore.

Joey Zarick,
but my stage name
is Zarick The Great.

Go ahead
and pick a card, any card.

Okay. Uh...

All right,
take a look at it.

Don't let me see it.

Remember it, though. Okay?

- You got it?
- Got it.

All right,
put it anywhere
back in the deck.

Boom.

All right.

Thanks for letting me
practice on you, by the way.

Today is the
Regional Talent Competition.

Cindy and Jenny
always win, though.

It's Nebraska,
so twerking still
packs a punch.

Anyway, uh, now for
the aforementioned
mind-blowing.

Courtney from California...

Is this your card?

Is that the card?

Yes. The seven of hearts.

Oh, my gosh.
How did you do that?

- You can keep that for good luck.
- -Oh, thanks.

Do you have
any nail polish remover?

I... I bet we could
clean this right off.

Can I help you?

Oh, hi. Uh, yeah,
I'm just an old friend

of Dr. King's.
Henry and I...

Yeah, well,
I heard about
what happened.

Seizure. It's horrible.

Henry's the cornerstone
of this institution.

-I'm sure that he is.
-Mmm.

Well, where did
they find him?

Just outside
the emergency entrance.

Right.

So, what did
he have on?

His lab coat.

Right. 'Course. Yeah.

Well...

Here's hoping
he gets well soon.

Excuse me.
Dr. Chapel,
do you have a moment?

Excuse me.

He's not alone.

Brainwave is in a coma.

He came to see me.

His son was attacked
by someone using
Starman's staff.

He told me
he called you.

He did.

Why didn't you?

I didn't see the need.

Take a seat, William.

What did Brainwave
tell you about this new

Starman?

It was a girl.

That he'd
take care of her.

You were the one
who was supposed

-to handle things
in my absence.
-Well, he was insistent.

And you were hesitant.

You always have been.

Brainwave has never been
a team player like me.

I was the one
who cleaned everything up.

Got him to the hospital,

took care of the costume,
came up with a story.

William...

...you stumbled
into your powers...

you killed your master

before his lessons
were complete,

and it shows.

That wand of yours,
it's capable of so much more,

but instead of thinking big,

you just continue
to think small.

Even now
you're still performing
the same old tired show.

You've just changed
one stage for another.

You spend your days
making promises to people,

but much like
every politician,
you don't keep them,

in the same way
you didn't keep
your promise to me.

-Jordan, that is--
-You seem to think that power

comes from other people's
perception of you.

From recognition
or applause, but...

That's not true power.

Now, William,
true power doesn't
need to be seen.

I've traveled
across this country.

I've hunted down everybody

who played a part
in Christine's death.

Everybody who exposed her
to the toxin

that led her to get sick.

And I did this

because I, too, made
a promise, William,

to my wife
as she lay dying

in my bed

that I would
combat injustice

for our son,

for everyone's children.

There's nothing more important
to me than mine.

Good.

Good.

It's the way
it should be.

Project: New America
is my destiny.

I want it
to be yours, too.

But I'm back
in charge now...

and I'll take care
of this Stargirl.

Comin'. Comin'.

Yeah?

Yes, I'm Mike Dugan's father.

He what?

No, Mike,
I think they have
enough evidence on you.

What am I supposed
to do in my room
without my games?

You know, I was in the middle
of real important work, Mike,

and when I was your age,
we weren't playing
games in class.

Yeah, back in your day,

-you didn't have any video--
-You see,

that's where
you're wrong.

It was actually
the golden age
of video games

and I was down
at the arcade

playing Asteroids,
Donkey Kong, Dig Dug,

Defender, Spy Hunter,
you name it.

But my personal favorite

was made by the Rolls-Royce
of video game manufacturers.

Atari.

-A what?
-The game was
called Paperboy, Mike,

and I used
to play it all day,

every day,

until one afternoon
my father came to me
and he said--

You were adopted.

No.

He said, "Son,

you need to stop
feeding quarters
into that machine

and go make some money
of your own.

You like
this game Paperboy,

how about you
try the real thing?"

So, he got me
a paper route.

Does this story
ever end

-or does it just keep
going on forever?
-It continues.

It doesn't have
an ending

because you, Mike Dugan,

are gonna take up
that great family tradition.

You're getting
a paper route.

Yeah.

Hmm.

Good morning, everyone.

Good morning.

Welcome back, sir.

It is good
to be back, James.

And for those of you
who are new here,

my name
is Jordan Mahkent.

I made a promise once,

a promise to someone
very special to me

that I would help
make this country

a better, safer place
to raise our children.

I've dedicated
my life to that.

Like many immigrants,
my parents came to this

great country in the hope
of finding a better future
to raise their children.

But this past year

I have traveled
across America

from town to town

and I have seen factories
that are abandoned.

I've met people in need,

In Littleville, Colorado.

In Hatton Corners, Indiana.

And so many other
forgotten communities.

And we're gonna
help them...

just like we've
helped Blue Valley.

We're gonna
rebuild America.

One factory

and one town
at a time.

But...

as we expand
the vision

we call The American Dream
across this great land,

we'll also continue
the revitalization of downtown,

which will include

a food co-op
at 27 Spring Street,

a brand new retail space
at 308 Main Street,

-a--
-Oh.

Is there a problem?

-No, I'm sorry.
-No, please,
what were you gonna say?

It's, um...

I grew up here,
in Blue Valley.

I just moved back

and what you've done
to our town is amazing,

it's remarkable,
and it's inspiring,

and it's why I wanted

to work here,

but back when
I was a kid...

308 Main Street
was a theater.

Every weekend
we'd watch plays

put on by our neighbors
and our friends.

The theater has operated
at a loss for years.

I'm sure it's not
very lucrative,

but it brought
the community together.

I'm sorry,
I said too much.

You know what?

That would be great
for the community.
Let's do that instead.

-But we have already--
-As brilliant as you are,

I'm sure you can find a way
to make that work.
Right, Stephen?

Of course.

Uh, Miss...

- I'm... I'm sorry,
what was your name?
- Barbara.

Barbara.

Reminder, students,

the bus for the talent show
leaves today at 2:45.

Yolanda?

I'm talking to you.

Who painted that?
Was it you?

No.

You should have
never dated Henry

once you knew
that I liked him.

You are a nobody.

I am somebody,
and I'm never gonna
let you forget that.

Even your own family
knows what you really are.

Slut.

I have to say,

slut-shaming is
really damaging.

- Look, over there.
- Not to mention,

it sets women back,
like, 50 years.

Okay, well, nobody cares
what you think, new girl.

-Okay, but, really,
I don't understand--
-Stop it.

-What?
-Don't you get it?

You're only going to
make things worse
for the both of us.

You might
be asking yourself,

"When am I ever
gonna use proper
and improper fractions?"

Well... the answer is,

a fraction of every day.

Tough crowd.

All right.
So, mathematicians
use three categories

to describe fractions.

Proper,

improper

and mixed.

Fractions that are
greater than zero

but less than one...

You were the one
that painted Yolanda's locker.

Maybe.

In proper fractions...

I'm Courtney.

-Cameron.
-I know.

Uh, I mean,

I'm new here, so...

So, I'm trying
to learn everyone's name

and since ours both
started with a C

it was easy
to remember.

Welcome to
Blue Valley, Courtney.

This is algebra,

not The Dating Game.

What's
The Dating Game?

Is now a good time?
Oh! Wow, I'm sorry.

Let me help you with that.

Shoot.

Oh, is that
your daughter?

Yes, that's...
that's Courtney,
my daughter,

uh, and that's
my stepson, Mike,

and my husband, Pat.

You have
a lovely family.

Thank you.

Well, Barbara,
I just wanted to say--

If you've changed your mind
about the theater,
I understand.

Oh, no. No, no, no,
quite the opposite.

I've actually set up
a task group to focus solely

on the new
community theater project.

Oh. That's great.

Our first meeting
is at 6:30.

I just wondered
if you would like to join us.

Um, I would love to.

But...

My family and I
are having dinner together

at 6:30.

I totally understand.

Um, maybe I can join
the next meeting?

Again, I'm so sorry,
Mr. Mahkent.

Oh, no, please,
don't apologize.

Our country was built
on values like yours.

It's just too bad
things have changed.

Uh, great work, again,

today, Barbara,

and, please,
call me Jordan.

Oh, my God.

Pat?

In the kitchen.

I was walking home
through Blue Valley Park

and you'll
never guess what I saw.

-What?
-I found

a frozen field.

-A what?
-An iced-over field

and it was
in the shape
of a star.

It's a message.
I know it.

It's Icicle. It has to be.

-Hold on,
just tell me exactly--
-He killed my dad.

He killed Starman.

We have to go
and find him.

And do what?
Arrest him?

That's a start.

There are more of them here.
I was right.

You have no idea
how dangerous he is,
all right?

The only thing I've ever seen
hurt Icicle is the staff.

-That's great!
-That's terrible.

- Hey.
- Mike.

What are you
doing down here?

I told you to wait
in your room until dinner.

Yeah, well,
my stomach
says it's dinner.

Okay, well, I'm working
on this vegan casserole.

Vegan casserole?

Big pass.

Did I interrupt
something important?

No, I'm just

giving Court
a couple of cooking tips.

Yep, I need 'em. Mmm.

You know
what, buddy,

why don't you take this,

ride your bike
up to the store,

I'm gonna take these,

you get yourself
whatever you want, okay?

Twenty bucks.
Awesome. Anything?

You got it.
Anything you want.

That's an advance
on the paper route, okay?

Be careful.

We can't go after Icicle,
all right?

If it is him,

then he clearly
wants to be found.

This is a trap, Courtney.

-For him.
-No.

Pat, we're talking
about the man

who killed my father.

See?

The staff
wants justice, too.

We're going with
or without you.

The ice was here.

I swear.

-It melted.
-Good.

Maybe he's gone.

Pat, are you okay?

I'm okay,
but I can't move.

I'm icing up.
The controls are all locked.

Damn it, wait!

Courtney, come back.

Hi, I'm home.

Just in time
for family dinner.

Hello?

Mike, where's everyone?

No idea.

Did you eat dinner?

Okay, well,
did anyone feed the dog?

Hello.

And goodbye.

I think you
should have one won
first place, Joey.

I'm good with
third, Beth.

I feel something.

Like, my magic's
getting stronger.

Come on, baby. Come on.

He's on the bridge, Pat.

Fifteen seconds, Court.

What the hell?

Oh, my God!

The bus!

I got it.

A kid's looking right at me.

Not for long.

- Is everyone okay?
- Watch your step, kids.

- Stay behind the bus.
- -All right, easy, one at a time.

What happened?

This was a mistake.
We need to go.

We need to find Icicle.

Joey!

I am trying not to panic.

He's just not
answering his phone and I...

Okay, just call me
if you hear anything, okay?

...a mysterious
bright light over...

Thanks.

...all the other kids appear
to be safe.

We'll have more on
this late-breaking story
coming up soon.

What?

What? What?

Oh, my God!
What? What?

Oh, no.

No!

Oh, no.

William, what are
you doing?

Where are you going?

Where are you going?

Oh, God. No!

Joey was so sweet.

He was the first kid at school
who was actually nice to me.

I'm going to find Icicle.

No.

We're going
to find Icicle and...

And...

I want to
show you something.

What is this place?

It's the headquarters of
the Justice Society of America.

What is all of this?

Each of the JSA members
had abilities

powers, tools,
like your Cosmic Staff,

and they used them
to protect the world
against people like Icicle.

Who's that?

Wildcat.

His real name was Ted Grant.

He was a
heavyweight champion.

He gave me
my Big Boy keychain.

It's the closest thing
he could find

to a Stripesy action figure.

Said it was good luck.

I don't know.

Hourman...

The Flash,

Dr. Fate,

they're all my friends.

My family, really.

Is this thing real?

Yeah.

It's Dr. Mid-Nite's owl.

There's something
special about him.
I don't know what,

but every time
we'd come here,

that owl, he'd fly
right to Dr. Mid-Nite
and land on his arm.

He doesn't know
Dr. Mid-Nite's dead.

He's been waiting
for him for years.

Dr. Mid-Nite's not
coming back, Court.

None of them are.

Icicle and
the Injustice Society

killed them all.

The truth is,

you and I don't stand a chance
against them.

What if we had help?

I'm the new Starman,

so why couldn't there be
a new Hourman,

or a new Dr. Mid-Nite?

No. No one can
take their place.

That's what you said
about Starman,

but then the staff
picked me.

Court, these guys,

I mean, they were
the best in the world.

Did they
start out like that?

No. But still with
years of experience

they couldn't defeat
the Injustice Society,

do you understand that?

This stuff
shouldn't be sitting here,

collecting dust.

It should be in the hands
of possible heroes.

Don't touch
the Thunderbolt!

That's the most
dangerous thing in here.

A pink pen?

Hey, will you just
listen to me for once?

Everything in this room
is dangerous, all right?

This life is.

A kid died today.

A child.

That's why
we can't go on.

A kid died today

and that's exactly why
we have to, Pat.

This is our destiny, Pat.

You know, that's exactly
what Starman said to me
the night he died.

Come on, we're leaving,

and until I say so...

no more Stargirl
and STRIPE.

Let's go.

We're back
with our reigning
champion, Tina...

William,
I'm so sorry.

Tell me it was
an accident.

A what?

Tell me you didn't mean
to kill my son.

-Tell me!
-William, wait.
Wait, wait, wait, wait.

I'm so sorry. Okay?

I truly am.

I know you
loved your boy...

...but I wish
you understood

what I was doing
was also for him.

It's too bad you had to see that.

We will clean it up.

You have work to do.

Ja. Ja.

The funerals for
both Councilman William Zarick

and his son were held
in private this morning.

Councilman Zarick,
whose fatal heart attack

is believed
to have been caused

after learning of
the tragic accident
that took his son's life.

Both were remembered
by those in attendance today.

The American Dream
has announced

that they'll be revitalizing
the community theater

in the name
of William Zarick
and his son, Joey.

The Zarick theater project

is expected to begin
as soon as next month.

I want
to start by saying

thank you to all of you
for staying so late.

Oh, Barbara,
glad you could join us.

Uh, let's start
by ascertaining

what we learned this week
since our last meeting.

First up, good news.

Thanks to Barbara's report,
we found out...

Hey, where is Barbara?

I thought this
was family dinner

-and we all had
to be home for it.
-Mike, not tonight, okay?

You're late.
We were worried.

They had
a memorial for Joey.

Not before dinner.

You okay?

He was such
a good kid, Dad.

Everyone liked him.

Yeah.

Come here.

Don't worry.

What you're doing will keep him safe.

Sorry, owl.

Let's go do
some recruiting.
