I could've really hurt you.

If anything's going
to help you heal,

it's going to be
the things that you love.

Why would he
go out there alone?

It wasn't his turn
to be Starman.

He was trying
to do the right thing.

Without the Staff?

The criminal always comes
back to the scene of the crime.

Cindy Burman did it.

She's a walking
science experiment.

Who knows what else she's done
to change herself.

The Gambler's laptop
was missing.

Whoever has it,
that's who killed him.

I've got something.

I seem to recall a result
like this once before.

We need to warn Cindy
her dad might be back.

He may be in the tunnels
under Blue Valley.

Let me suit up.

What if she's
working with him?

She was his lab rat.
A lifetime full of abuse.

Why are you so intent
on believing

any of them
have changed, Court?

Why are you giving someone
like the Gambler a chance?

Because...

I didn't do it.

You really did not
have to walk me home.

I wasn't ready
to say good night.

I'm gonna do
some more research tonight.

Maybe I can find out more
about what you can do

and why.

You're gonna research
what I can do?

How?

Wikipedia.

We'll figure this out together.

I promise.

You're good at making
my world feel less dark.

And you're good at that.

I will see you tomorrow.

Good night.

- Hey.

Why you smiling?

Just a good day.

What happened?

Nothing specific.
What's for dinner?

I don't know.
Your mom's at work

and I just dropped Mike off
at Jakeem's.

That's okay.
I can find something to eat.

So...

You're not gonna ask me
for an update?

Is there an update?

Well, I've been trying
to call you.

Yolanda too.

I guess I didn't
hear my phone.

Well, Rick and Yolanda,
they went down into the tunnels

with Sylvester to see
if there's any sign of

Dragon King being alive.
So far nothing.

He took the Staff
this time, right?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

Good.

So...

What are you gonna do now?

Sylvester's leading
the JSA at the moment,

so until we hear
anything from them,

I've got homework.

I'm sorry to say,
that's the wrong password.

Try again.

Try again.

Hmm.

Why should I hack
your laptop...

When you could
just do it for me

with your own gadgets.

Ooh.

Yes.

Most of the tunnels
have collapsed.

There are only
a few rooms left.

What is this place?

Whoa.

We've never been
down here before.

It's the ISA meeting room.

Someone's been working here.

What's all this stuff for?

It's gotta be
Dragon King's, right?

Sylvester, what do you think?

I thought the Shade
went after the Gambler

out of pettiness and the
Crocks 'cause of blackmail.

But someone's made an awful lot
of effort to cover their tracks

and almost killed me
for getting on them.

This thread we're pulling,

I think it's gonna
lead us somewhere big

and I don't like it.

Look at them.

The ISA

mocking me!

Even dead, they're mocking me!

Whoever did this,

whoever attacked me,
Dragon King or not,

we are gonna find them,
and they are gonna pay!

Sylvester?

What are you doing up?

You know, polishing silver
like a useful person.

Huh. What happened?

I took the kids
into the tunnels.

We didn't find anything.

Except for a huge painting of

Icicle and his cronies and...

Started thinking about
what he did to me and...

I lost my temper.

Big time.

I must look pretty unhinged.

Again.

Thought kept me up.

I don't think
I'm a person that's

good at setting examples
like Pat.

I just never planned on
being a parent.

Yeah, I mean,
before I met Pat,

I never thought I'd have a son.

I thought my life
was just Courtney and me.

But when Pat came with Mike,

I wasn't sure
how I was going to do

stepping into Mike's life.

I try. It's all you can do.

- Hmm.
- Be your best.

And if you have a bad moment,
just help them learn from it.

Well, how's it going
with Mike?

Uh...

He's my son.

I'm really grateful
every day for it.

Now where the hell
are the Super Sugar Checks?

I put everything
in alphabetical order.

That's not an answer.

Between the rice cakes
and the tortilla chips,

two from the left,
one up from the bottom shelf.

It's a real breakfast
of champions, Mikey.

Oh.

You don't like me
very much, do you?

Who? Me?

We're different types
of people, I know.

Oh, as in you're a JSA
type of person and I'm not.

Whoa, no.
Look, the JSA was made up of

all sorts of people,
and we were not all best buds.

I mean, hell,
I got on Dr. Fate's nerves

worse than Wotan.

What the hell's a Wotan?
Is that, like, a skin disease?

It's Fate's archenemy.

And I think he had
a skin disease.

His skin was green.

Look, the point is,
you stopped Icicle,

and he's the one
that put me in the ground.

So in a way,
you got me justice.

Yeah, that was
an accident, pal.

Maybe.

But going up against Eclipso,

that was real superhero stuff.

Yeah, tell it
to everyone else.

You know,
when I was your age,

no one took me
seriously either.

What'd you do about it?

Well, I made things happen
is what.

Like, I proved everybody wrong
about the Star Spangled Kid

by going places
and doing things

that people said I couldn't.

So maybe you and I
aren't so different.

Okay, fellas,
who wants an omelet, huh?

Oh, heck, yeah. Fancy.

- Oh, yeah.
- Good morning, everyone.

- Hey.
- Hey, Court.

- There's the boss.
- Hi.

So how'd it go
with the kids last night?

We came up empty handed.

- So no Dragon King, you mean?
- Not yet.

Well, what's next?

Well, Dragon King has
hidden labs across the country.

- He does?
- Yeah.

The Crimson Avenger and I have
tracked them back in the day.

There's one south of here
I want to check out.

Courtney, I know you missed out
on the tunnels last night,

but I can wait until
after school if you want

to come with or you can
check them out yourself.

I'm good.
You've got it covered.

Goodbye, everyone.
Enjoy the waffles.

Omelets.
We're having omelets.

Does she not know
the difference?

The tunnels are empty.
That's good.

Yeah, because that means
we still have a chance

of catching this perp ourselves.

That's what Starman said
we should do.

Wait, he did?

I--basically.

Look, we gotta step outside
of our comfort zones, Jakeem.

I like my comfort zone.

It doesn't have
crocodile people in it.

Besides, doing this ourselves,

I thought we were
supposed to form a team.

- Go to class, freshmen.

- Brian, Travis.
- No, no, no, no.

We're collecting money
for the hungry.

And the hungry is us,
so let's make it happen.

Yeah, consider it a tax
for being, well, losers.

- Sounds fair.

Look, I really wish we could
figure this out, fellas.

Oh, yeah.

You know what?

I really wish these bullies
were nicer to us.

What?

Give us your money, please.

Or else I'm gonna
have to hit you

really, really hard
in your quite handsome faces.

You're breaking my arm.

If I catch you messing
with freshmen again, Travis,

I'll break way more than that.

What do you care?

- I don't.

Wow.

You know what?
I got an idea.

Well, that's fun.

You have so many uses.

Hello.

- What's up, doc?
- Mr. Pemberton?

Hi, I'm at one
of Dragon King's hidden labs

in the middle of
Nowheresville in the sticks.

I can't get in.
Can you disable the locks?

You're the hacker.

I'm in the middle of a test,
and I'm not a hacker.

Oh, come on, Beth.
It'll only take a sec.

I'll be your best friend.

Send me your location

and I'll see if there are
any systems I can plug into.

Got it.
I'm using MapQuest.

I hope it still works.

Okay, actually,
I found something.

- How's it coming?
- Just hold on.

Popcorn.
You did it, Beth.

No wonder McNider retired.
You're a genius.

Gosh.
Thanks, Mr. Pemberton.

No.
No, no, no, no.

Stop.
- What is it?

My goggles are giving me
the answers to the math test.

That's great. Congrats.

No, that's cheating.
I gotta go.

No.

Scary, huh?

Glad I don't have
a dust allergy.

Reminds me of my mother,

but you're cuter.

Hey, handsome.

Whoo-hoo, there you go.

- Thanks.
- Thanks, Mary Ann.

And tell Zeek I said hello.

Zeek?

A lunch date
in the middle of the week?

Oh, we should do this
more often.

Absolutely, yeah.

Hey, what has got you
so distracted?

Well, it's Courtney.

I mean, you've noticed it,
too, right?

She just hasn't seemed
like herself.

You know, it's like...

I'm sorry, is there
an inside joke I'm not getting?

She has a crush
on someone, Pat.

- So that's what this is?
- I think so.

- What?
- Yeah.

- Who's the guy?
- I don't know.

I mean,
she'll tell us eventually,

but hey, this is what
we wanted for her, right?

To just be a normal teenager
once in a while.

- Yeah.
- Hey, bud.

- Hello, Barbara.
- Hi, Paula.

Are those sweet potato fries?
Omega-3s, baby.

Have a seat.
Make yourself at home.

We've been taking
a page out of

your do-gooder handbook
there, bud.

Meaning what?

We're doing
our own investigation

into Stephen Sharpe's murder.

And how's that going?

We started by interrogating
everyone he owed money to.

That's a whole lot of people
with motive to whack him.

We dangled them off of
a tall building to get answers.

Hey, get this.

We're not the only ones that
putz paid back before he died.

I mean, he paid them all back.

We thought it was impossible
for a degenerate

like Sharpe to truly change,

but we're thinking
maybe he did.

Okay, look,
investigating that,

it was a good idea.

Though I can't
condone your tactics,

I do appreciate
your dedication.

But your work is done,
so thank you.

No, no, no.
We're not done.

We're gonna help you
solve this thing, bucko.

Don't you have
more important things to do

like checking in
with your parole officers?

I don't know,
your cholesterol levels?

Our cholesterol levels
are pristine.

Hey, you want to hear
a weird bonus

to being heroes for once?

It's kind of super-charged

our lives in the bedroom,
if you know what I mean.

Hey-oh.

Say, Maria,
we'll get the check please.

Got it!

Okay, everyone,
grab your notes,

a pH meter, and a lab partner.

Want to be a team?

So you can apologize

for leaving me out
of the JSA meetings again?

- No.
- Too bad.

Groveling looks
really good on you.

Okay, you're the one
who's been

ditching out on us at lunch.

Fine. Partners. Sure.

Hey, so you grew up
in Blue Valley, right?

What are you asking me?

More chemistry, less talking.

Well, Cameron and I
have been hanging out.

Mm.

He's in a bad place
right now about his dad.

I feel guilty
about what happened.

He doesn't know...

You can't tell him, Courtney.

Cameron is gonna be just fine.

He's basically a nice guy.

Though he's not so nice to me.

No one is besides you, really.

You've changed.

Other people
will see that eventually.

Why are you
talking to me about this

and not Catgirl or someone?

Because I knew
you wouldn't judge me

and that you'd give it
to me straight.

Yeah, I'm kind of
good at that.

I kind of like the idea
of you and Cameron.

Thanks.

I do too.

But no one wants to hear
how awful their father is.

Was.

I mean, you should know.

Wouldn't you rather still think
Starman was your dad

instead of some degenerate
who didn't want you?

You don't want him
to feel like us.

There she is.

Dragon Queen
is a go.

- Shh.
- Okay, you go.

- No, you go.
- No, we agreed, you'd go.

both: You go.
You go first.

You said you
were gonna go first.

- No...
- Wait, I don't... I'm scared.

We both go.
Come on.

Hi.
- Yeah, hi.

What do you want?

We have a preposition
for you.

Okay, that's not
what you mean,

but go ahead.

All right,
look, let's face it.

Courtney and the others are not
your biggest fans, necessarily,

and a woman with your skills

needs to be appreciated.

Even worshipped.

Um... and that appreciation is
just not coming from the JSA.

So what do you say
you ditch those ingrates

and you join us?

The Young All-Stars.

Oh, well,

that is adorable.

Is that a yes?
It sounds like a yes.

It's never gonna happen.
Like, ever.

And I mean that
in the nicest way, okay?

But we haven't
told you the perks.

Hey, there's perks.

What did she say?
I couldn't hear.

Well, maybe she doesn't
like the name.

The name is the best part.

It's a little long, you know?

We should workshop the name.

Sylvester searched the lab.
No Dragon King yet.

But he could still
be out there,

so what do we tell Cindy?

She's part of the team.

She needs to be brought
up to speed on everything

and I bet she could help.

I still don't trust her, okay?

But I guess I'm open to it
if that's what Courtney wants.

Court.

Earth to Courtney Whitmore.

- I'm listening.
- No, you're not.

Yes, let's loop Sylvester in.

That's not
what we were talking about.

Hi.

Hi, back at you.

How's it going, guys?

Dude, we're in the middle
of a conversation.

- Okay.
- So get lost.

What exactly is your problem?

I am staring right at him.

Rick, knock it off.

I am so sorry, Cameron.

We're right in the middle
of a project.

It's for the science fair.

Well, I didn't mean
to interrupt.

Sorry.
- It's okay.

- I'll see you later.
- Yeah.

Don't tell me you're
hanging out with that creep.

He's not a creep.
Do not say that.

Okay, kind of
bad timing, Court.

We are trying to find a killer.
We need you.

Yeah, Sylvester's great, but...

- He has a temper.
- Oh, and you don't?

Look, guys, I am focused
on the case, I am.

But I'm helping Cameron, too, okay?

We're the JSA, right?
We help people.

Okay, what does
Cameron Mahkent need help with?

Listen, I finally
found someone I like.

Can't you just be happy for me?

Truthfully, no.
Not when it's him.

I'm sorry, Courtney,
but Cameron's dad...

Cameron's not his dad
anymore than I'm mine, Yolanda.

That's not fair to him or me.

So...

you're dating Courtney.

Why does that matter to you?

Courtney and I
are friends now.

Didn't you hear?

Real BFFs, so just
looking out for my girl.

Really?

I know it's hard to believe,

but people really do change.

Have you?

What is that
supposed to mean?

Have you told her
about summer art camp?

Between second and third grade.

I guess it was less of a camp
and more of an institution

where little angry boys could
learn to stop breaking things.

Right?

Why are you doing this?

Were the walls padded?

Shrinks talking
about your mommy.

I don't know
why you want to hurt me,

but everything you just said

proves that
you haven't changed.

Maybe.

Yeah, and then
she just walked away.

I've never seen Courtney
like that.

Me, either.

Okay, guys,
it does sound like

you kind of
went after her a little bit.

You're on her side?

There are no sides, Yolanda.

You shouldn't think
that way ever.

I mean, you guys
know the story.

The JSA got into a fight

about what happened
with Bruce Gordon.

We never fully reconciled.

Then my choice about Bruce
made us pick sides,

and that eventually
destroyed us.

I just--I should've
listened to Pat.

I should've done whatever

I had to do to bring the team
back together, but...

Learn from my mistakes, please.

So if Courtney wants
to hang out

with Cameron Mahkent, let her.

We still have
a murder to solve.

I still think Cindy's
not telling us something.

Maybe about her dad.

Okay, go with your gut.
Follow it.

I still have to fix
the hourglass.

Okay, we'll work on that. Beth.

- Sorry.

Hello?

Hey, hon.
How was your math test?

Horrible. I cheated.

- You what?
- I can't talk right now.

I'm in the middle
of a JSA meeting.

Barbara said that the Crocks

were following up
on some leads.

Honey, the Crocks?

If they can help, we can
certainly do something.

Yeah. Give us an assignment.

Better yet, a special mission.

Ooh, yes, we're ready
for a special mission.

Oh, come on,
we're more than ready.

both:
Come on, special mission.

We'll talk later tonight, okay?

- Okay.
- Bye.

They want me
to give them a "mission."

It's always hard
when the family finds out.

Gets involved.

My sister, Merry, she did.

Henry's mom, right?

Merry Pemberton.

Brainwave killed her.

So what do I do?

First rule I have:

protect the family.

You okay, hon?

So there is one
big difference between us.

You see the good in people,
and I see the bad.

What are you talking about?

I talked to Cameron
about you.

- What? Why?
- I was doing you a favor.

I know his grandmother
is a freak like Jordan.

I saw her eyes get white
with ice last summer

because I made her mad.

So I wanted to push
Cameron's buttons

and try and trigger him, and...

I did.

He has his family's powers.

And you already knew that,
didn't you?

I'm going to help him
control them.

Cut bait, new girl.

I've read this story,
and it only ends one way.

And I wouldn't finish that.

Rick, hey, you're still here.
What's going on?

I can't figure
the hourglass out.

Rick, you can't
be so hard on yourself.

Your dad had
a lifetime of education

before he invented that thing.

How can I be Hourman

if my strength gives out
after 20 minutes?

Or two?

It's gotta be the limiter.

The what?

Well, there's this thingy,
for lack of a better term,

on the hourglass that limits it
to working only an hour a day.

That's gotta be busted.

Wait, so if I just
remove the limiter,

you're saying that this is
going to work 24 hours a day?

I'm not sure,

but whatever you do,
just be careful

because your dad
created that for a reason.

Yeah, well--

If you need me, just call.
All right?

I'll see you tomorrow?

Yeah. See you tomorrow.

- Beth.
- Hey.

We came as soon as you called.

We know there's
a lot happening fast.

- Mm-hmm.
- How can we help?

You can help me
the most if...

You can help me the most if...

If you stay out of my life
as Doctor Mid-Nite.

- Well...
- What?

This is dangerous, Mom.

Sylvester's sister was murdered
because she got involved.

Dr. McNider's daughter.

If Dragon King is out there,

or whoever it is,

I don't want anything
to happen to you.

- Beth...
- It scares me.

So I'm asking you,

please,

stop calling me.

Stop helping.

Just stop.

We understand.

Oh, Beth, I understand.

Okay.

The answers have to be here.

They have to be.

Ew.

Mm.

Court.

Hey, buddy.

It's beautiful.

Don't you think?

I do.

I was talking about
the ice hotel.

- Yeah, no, so was I.

But this could be
a perfect example

of what you might
be able to do.

Maybe we can
go there sometime.

Or...

Maybe I can bring it to you.

Oh, my God.

Ooh.

- It's beautiful.

And cold.

I knew it.

I am gonna kick her ass.

Greg, move your head.

Mad Ghost!
