Let him go!

- You even hit Courtney. - It was an accident!

But you haven't been acting like yourself, Rick.

It's that hourglass.

You've been wearing it for too long.

- Come with us. - I can't.

I think that thing is one of my dad's

crazy science experiments.

It was a giant mutant gorilla.

Yeah, a white one.

If the Ultra-Humanite

is as powerful as you say,

it'll take everyone to stop him,

including the Mahkents.

What the hell?

What is this?

At least you'll die together.

He killed people to get what he wanted,

and he was about to kill so many more.

Who killed my father?

I did it.

Court!

I won't let you stop me.

Courtney!

You can never save America.

You're filled with too much hate.

Ah! Gotcha.

You saved my life.

Just returning the favor.

Does this mean I get to be in JSA?

- What the hell? - What's going on, man?

- What? - Man, it's leg day.

The Ultra-Humanite killed The Gambler.

He tore into his trailer and stabbed him

in the heart with a claw.

Didn't see any claws. More likely his teeth.

They were big and sharp.

However he was killed,

this is exactly why I've been asking us to work together.

Whether you belong to the JSA or the ISA,

our town needs us again.

Now, I know putting the past behind us

has been challenging for everybody.

Yeah. Me especially.

But you're working at it, Sylvester,

and well, that's what matters.

And we've made progress.

The Crocks are with us,

and I think we can get Cindy back on board.

Why are we bothering with Cindy again?

Because she's already on the hunt

for the Ultra-Humanite.

So she might know what he's up to.

Cindy seemed pretty firm about working solo.

Whatever grand plan the Ultra-Humanite might have,

if history's taught us anything,

it's that it'll involve hurting a lot of people,

including us.

'Cause, guys...

This ain't no Donkey Kong.

Yeah. If we don't stop him,

it'll be game over.

1981, guys.

You know, you don't have to do a joke

on top of every joke that I do.

It's called banter, Pat.

All superheroes use it

during stressful situations to defuse tension.

I know. It just seems like you feel like you

always gotta get the last word in on me... just, you know...

I don't know what you're talking about.

See? Right there. You're doing it.

Oh, is this what you want? No banter?

Just an overly serious conversation

that scares the hell out of everyone?

- Guys, stop. - Sorry, Barb.

Sorry, Barb.

Okay, banter aside, we need the Mahkents too.

And we need Cameron.

You mean you do.

He's as powerful as his father was.

Yeah, but if we all team up

and then the Mahkents put me on ice

because they figured out that I ran their son over...

- They won't. - How do you know that?

Because they think I killed Jordan.

- What? - Why do they think that?

It's not important.

Careful.

Have you seen my parents?

Mother.

Jordan?

Oh! Oh!

Papa!

Dad?

Cameron.

I'm home.

I brought one of these back

from every business trip I ever took...

like a trophy.

Your mother used to love how simple, and yet beautiful,

the worlds inside of them are.

Collecting these after she died...

Was my way of honoring her.

One is missing.

Where have you been, Dad?

When I was hit, I lost

not only my form,

but all self-awareness.

I had no consciousness.

Just... dreams.

Dreams of you, of your mother, of our family.

It took everything I had to reform.

Why didn't you heal here?

Why let us think you were dead?

Son...

I was trying to protect you.

Protect me from what?

Your grandparents,

they explained everything to you, right?

Our family was hunted for generations.

To bring you into that history would've put you in danger,

because once you knew...

I know how hard it is to keep our secret

from those you hold close.

You told Courtney.

Then this happened.

Courtney told me she was the one who killed you.

But she failed.

No, Mother.

It wasn't Courtney who did it.

It was her brother.

Mike?

Then why would she tell me that?

To protect him.

But that's all in the past now.

And I've forgiven him.

I've forgiven all of them, because they believe

what they were doing was right.

And after what happened,

my powers are somehow even stronger.

Courtney says you've killed people, Dad.

My goal was only ever to help people.

You know that.

You know me.

I thought I did.

Son...

My son,

almost losing my life, almost losing you,

and listening to Courtney Whitmore,

it made me look at my past actions in a different light.

Courtney's group and I, we... we want the same thing.

We could just never agree on how we should achieve that.

But I think maybe now we can.

Yes, Father.

I want peace.

Guys, I've picked up a signal

from Sportsmaster's mask.

It's coming from under Blue Valley,

and I think I've found an access point.

Hold up, Artemis.

Where's Rick?

He didn't return my calls.

Well, we can't wait for him.

Do you think the Mahkents did anything to the Crocks

or maybe that animal did?

If that white ape hurt my parents,

I'm gonna skin it alive.

The signal's getting stronger.

We're on the right path.

There it is, behind that door.

Maybe we should suit up.

- Where's the staff? - Sylvester has it.

He's trying to get on the Ultra-Humanite's trail.

Artemis, wait!

Mom? Dad?

This is command central for our peeping Tom.

- But who was it? - Ultra-Humanite?

This room's too small for a giant mutant gorilla.

Look.

What is that?

- Oh, my God. - What, Beth?

Courtney...

these are human remains.

Artemis. Hey.

Hey, Court.

Wh-what is it?

Barbara, you're never gonna believe it.

What?

He's back!

He's back.

Hello, Barbara.

It's good to see you, Barbara.

I saw you die.

I know.

How?

I wasn't sure myself at first,

but it seems my abilities extend

beyond just creating ice.

I can somehow become it.
