Stargirl Season 3 Episode 1 Recap

Stargirl Season 3 Episode 1 “Frenemies: Chapter One-The Murder” Recap

Jakeem, with Thunderbolt in tow, is bringing newspapers to The Shade’s porch as Courtney and her family is arriving from Yellowstone.

The Crock family is out on a morning run in the meantime. Solomon Grundy has been reburied, and Beth’s parents are cooing over their superhero child. Before the Dragon King’s child helps an elderly woman, Yolanda gives Cindy the side-eye. The Gambler, also known as Steven Sharpe, returns to his Blue Valley home.

The Dugan family is welcomed back to their house by Sylvester, alias Starman, who has restored everything, cleaned up the basement, and constructed a display case for Cosmo. In it, Sylvester describes how he awoke in his casket in Reader’s Digest style. He tells Courtney that his time as Starman is up. He assures her that she has full control over Cosmo.

The Gambler approaches Pat, a founding member of the JSA, to inform him that, like the other local foes, he has also changed his mind. Part of this change of heart is his quest to find Becky, a daughter he gave up for adoption many years ago. The Gambler claims that his desire for change is sincere because his own father’s abandonment led him on a destructive path, despite Pat and Court’s skepticism. After all, he was not to be found when other enemies showed up to beat Eclipso. We can tell that someone or something is watching this talk in the living room through a hidden viewfinder.

The Gambler’s atonement tour next stops at a diner, where Richard/The Shade finds his old coworker’s promises to be equally unappealing. The Shade counsels The Gambler to leave the region before the people discover what he is truly up to. The Shade orders the Gambler to go as his ominously dark eyes deepen. Swift then evaluates his abilities.

In a later conversation, Crusher cautions Pat against falling for The Gambler’s act and says he was only in it for the money. Courtney and Yolanda accompany Beth as her parents show her samples of super suits. According to Rick, he has tried to bury Grundy everywhere, as instructed by The Shade, but to no avail. When Cindy creates a quintet, Rick and Yolanda tell Courtney that they never gave their consent for her to join the JSA.

Sylvester adores Stripesy’s robot at the Pit Stop and encourages him to pilot it. Sylvester promises to travel with Cosmo. Sylvester interrupts Pat as he is ready to mention anything about his old friend stealing Courtney’s employees. Sylvester is grateful to Pat for lodging him.

Sylvester later explains to Courtney in the basement why he gave Cosmo a ride, saying that once he “came back to life,” he realized that the JSA and Starman had been his top priorities and that there was nothing for him to return to. The court advises joint custody so he can use the staff while she is in school. He means it when he promises he won’t ever ask for it back. After Beth informs Courtney of a crime in progress, the JSA, including Cindy and Shiv, rushes to the scene, but they are forced to watch as Artemis Crock and the No Limits Gang members take the initiative. Then, while Cindy sneers, C H U C K admits that the No Limits Gang formerly worked with The Gambler.

The Gambler is writing a letter to Becky inside his trailer as the episode concludes. Someone hacks into his laptop and displays feeds from many hidden cameras positioned throughout the neighborhood, one of which is supposedly placed exactly outside his trailer home. He is attacked by something not apparent in the video as he ducks outside with a pocket gun when he tries to find and take the camera. The next group to hear the shot is the nearby JSA, and when they run to the Gambler’s trailer, they find Cindy kneeling over a dead person while carrying a pocket pistol. She tells a surprised Courtney and her friends, “I didn’t do it.”
