Stargirl

Dig.

Icicle?

Hello, again, Starman.

What are you doing?

You've been in the ground for a long time, my friend.

You are needed again...

Because a hero like you

is someone who is already trusted, respected,

and beloved by the public.

Americans will listen to you in a way like nobody else.

You give them suggestions, orders, even,

and they will do whatever you say.

They'll even vote for you, I imagine.

President Pemberton.

It's got a nice ring to it.

You are gonna be my mouthpiece, Sylvester.

Great plan.

One problem.

I'll never work for you.

Yeah.

I know how strong-minded you are,

and that is why we're gonna remove it.

The Ultra-Humanite gets your body.

And then I get his

in my continuing quest to become something greater.

Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!

Wait, wait, wait... Where's Stripesy?

What did you do to Pat?

Please, no... wait!

Aaah!

Bye-bye.

Sylvester told you about the hourglass's limiter,

but he didn't warn you about what happened to your father

when he removed it.

Mr. Pemberton also told me to protect my parents.

But what he was really getting you to do

was push them away.

After all the help they've given me, that was a mistake.

Sylvester said not to let up on Cindy,

and I never gave her a chance.

Why would Sylvester purposely give you all bad advice?

To keep us distracted.

To break us apart.

To weaken us.

To take our confidence away.

He took the Staff from me.

He told me I wasn't worthy of it.

Well, he's dead wrong.

Then why couldn't I bring it back to me, Mom?

Maybe Sylvester wanted the Staff for himself

this whole time.

Then why not just take it from Court in the first place?

Why wait?

We have to find Pat.

How was the vigil?

Still been no sign of Mr. Deisinger.

Well, I have some news.

Starman has agreed to let go of our past differences.

- That's great. - Yeah, it is.

But I'm afraid that Courtney and her friends

aren't quite so willing yet.

We'll need to convince them.

Cameron.

Something has happened to Courtney's stepfather.

What?

He's been killed by that aberration of science,

the Ultra-Humanite.

Come on.

Mike's not answering.

Pat's phone's going straight to voicemail.

Zeek's got S.T.R.I.P.E. fixed back up,

but he hasn't seen Mr. Dugan since he went to the Mahkents'.

Okay, so let's start there.

Cameron.

Starman's at the junkyard.

- W-what? - Are you looking for him?

How do you know that?

He's there. Sorry, my family's coming.

I have to go. - Wait, Cameron.

Hello?

I don't like lying to her.

This is the best way to offer Courtney our help

during this trying time.

Face to face.

Ahh...

- Come on, let's go. - Okay!

- Wait for me. - I got it.

Where the hell are we now?

Oh my God, the tire factory?

We need a foolproof wish to get us out of this mess.

Come on.

I hope your mom finds Artemis.

Icicle made her an orphan. She'll be here.

She'll probably show up right when we need her.

How does she always do that?

Hello, Courtney.

I stand alongside my family and Starman tonight

here on neutral ground with only good intentions.

Where's Pat?

I'm sorry, Courtney.

Pat's gone.

Gone?

He came to see me after Jordan and I settled things.

I apologized and tried to convince him

to join forces with both of us.

He refused.

He went into the woods alone,

looking for the Ultra-Humanite

who killed him.

If we're gonna get any justice for Pat,

we need to team up, Courtney.

I don't believe anything you say.

- I know I was harsh earlier. - You're lying to us.

Both of you.

You've been lying since you came to Blue Valley.

But I wouldn't lie to you.

I'm sorry about Pat.

I am so sorry.

But the only thing we can do now

is work together and stop that monster

before it hurts anyone else.

Pat?

Yeah, Court.

It's me.

But that's not Sylvester.

It's the Ultra-Humanite.

Oh my God.

Are you kidding me?

Why won't Stripesy die?

Aah!

Now...

you freeze, you wicked children.

Let's wish to go to The Bahamas.

Yeah. That's it, towards the ocean.

Cindy...

Come now, dear daughter.

You don't belong with them.

You belong with me.

You belong to me.

You wanna see what your pet project can really do, Daddy?

You got a lot of heart, Pat.

I don't know how you dug yourself out of that grave,

but you're gonna wish you hadn't.

You know what I don't like?

Is looking at you and seeing my best friend's face.

So I'm gonna knock it off.

Aah!

Aaaaah!

He lied to you.

Not another word.

Courtney!

Hey!

Don't be a tool, man.

You're getting played by your own dad.

But I'm still gonna kick your ass.

Threat imminent. Combat mode activated.

Oh, Pat...

None of this had to happen.

This all could've been so easy.

Courtney gives up the Staff, her friends follow me.

We change the world with Icicle for the better.

For your family too.

This could have been perfect for everyone,

but you...

you couldn't stay in your lane

and just... stay dead.

You had to fight back.

So now all of you are gonna die.

'Cause I will not stop being Starman.

Ever!

I don't wanna fight you again, Mr. Mahkent.

Neither do I.

Then we have to stop everyone, okay?

Sofus!

Kill her.

No, no more of this.

Aah!

Aah!

I didn't do it.

Jakeem, look at me now.

Look at me, Jakeem!

Do everything we say. Stop overthinking.

Be direct. Be honest.

Be specific.

It'll be over soon.

I wish...

I wish the most beautiful woman in the world

will never have to be bothered by her father again.

Didn't I just say be specific?

Who's to say she's the most beautiful woman in the world?

I am! I said it.

The kid with the pen!

Your wish is granted.

For you, my queen from your not-so-secret admirer.

It's Jakeem. It's from Jakeem.

Aah! Stop.

Ha ha ha ha.

No more robot.

Rick?

Rick.
