Stargirl

Here comes the new dad.

He's not my new dad.

I was Starman's sidekick.

- It's you. - I'm looking for Pat Dugan.

Name's Sylvester Pemberton.

We stopped that freak together.

I'm Stargirl.

- And that's my sidekick. - Great.

- Hi. I'm Courtney. - I'm Beth.

This is the table for the singles.

- The losers. - The Gambler.

He's one of the most cunning criminal masterminds in the world.

All Eclipso did was

make me believe in people even more.

You asked Cindy Burman

to help you stop Eclipso?

I wanna join the JSA.

Crusher, what are you doing here?

We didn't come back to town

for revenge on you and the Scooby Gang.

The house next door sold.

Howdy, neighbor!

What the...

Settle in, as we're about to begin

a tale of trust,

a tale of heartache,

and a tale of murder.

All right. Nice!

- - Hello, Maria.

Morning, Zeke.

- Good morning, Deb. - Good morning, Darryl.

How have you been?

Want the usual?

Pedal, Jakeem! Pump those feet!

That guy is spooksville. Let's split!

Good morning!

- - Breakfast!

Bacon and eggs.

What the hell?

- Bye, Dorothy. - Bye.

- Bye, guys. See ya. - Bye, Yolanda!

Would you like some help with that?

It looks kind of... pretty big.

- Thank you. - Yeah.

All right, Crock team.

Let's go, let's go, let's go!

Home sweet home.

Hey.

- Good day, good sir. - Hey.

Well, trip's over, Mike.

Hey, no use complaining about it now.

Why do you try sitting in the back seat of a car for 12 hours

when you know we have a flying robot at home, Pat?

Welcome home, Star family.

Hey, Sylvester. How you doing?

Hey, buddy. Oh, who's a good boy?

Who's a good boy?

Well, how was the trip?

- Memorable. - Horrendous.

Surprisingly busy.

It was great.

Pat, the stache.

You left home a boy and came back a man.

Are you kidding? Look at him.

He looks like an evil Pat Dugan from a parallel universe.

You know, facial hair is a man's birthright, Mike.

You'll understand when you start shaving.

I shave.

Do you?

Oh, my God.

Sylvester, you fixed everything?

- This marble looks expensive. - Whoa.

Well, a house guest needs to earn his keep.

You know, Mike and I actually had that

on a list of things to do.

Yeah.

What list?

Whoa.

- What do you think? - It's amazing.

- It's neat, huh? - And no more cobwebs.

That was the hardest part, I think.

Oh, where's Cosmo's crate?

In the garage, because I made a new one.

A display case.

Right by your bed...

I think he likes it. Look at that.

- - Oh. Oh.

Maybe the case is overkill.

I-I just didn't know how to thank a big, golden stick.

I mean, the Staff's the reason why I'm not dead now.

I've been wanting to talk to you about that,

but I didn't wanna be rude.

Oh, how I'm back?

Yeah, I'm still trying

to figure that out exactly.

Did I mention that I woke up in my own coffin?

Yeah. I used to be a pretty cool superhero,

but it's hard to keep your cool when you're buried alive.

So I did a lot of screaming.

And when I dug myself out,

I somehow was completely fine.

I don't understand it,

but I think when you formed the bond with Cosmo over there,

it woke up the bond I have with him too.

If-if you're reconsidering what you said

about letting me keep the Staff,

just tell me now so I can figure out what...

Oh, no. No, no. The Staff, it chose you.

It did.

I'm done being Starman.

What is it?

I thought that you were excited that Sylvester's here.

No, I-I am, Pat.

I just...

What?

He put a lot of hard work

into building that display case.

And then he was talking

about the bond he has with the Staff.

Yeah. But see, I think that's exactly why he can show you

how to do things with it that I never could.

I think that there's a real opportunity here, Court,

for you to learn directly from him.

He really knows what he's doing.

And while he teaches you how to be a better Stargirl,

I can help him figure out

how to navigate his life post-Starman.

Welcome home, neighbors!

- Howdy! - Hi!

Thank you.

Oh, please tell Barbara
