Season premieres are always fun but they bring along a new set of questions and rarely provide many answers from the previous season. Season finales, however, are usually filled with answers that the audience has been dying for and with Stargirl, that usually pays off big as the show loves to slow burn some big plot points for major payoff! While we've seen Sylvester Pemberton in a few episodes with flashbacks, the one we saw at the end of season one and the one slowly tracking down Pat Dugan has yet to show up in Blue Valley. Will he make his appearance tonight? Joel McHale who plays the first Starman said he did have lines with Brec this season. How will that all play out? Here's what stood out to us:

1. Beth's Parents: We pick up right were we left off. Beth and Charles are confronting Eclipso. We find out that he's taken Beth's parents. He's trapped him in a reccurring loop where they see the worst of Beth and themselves. Jenny has a vision of Courtney defeating them all as Eclipso and begs them not to go. Courtney, Pat, Yolanda and Cindy already left and the sky opens up with Eclipso's energy. Jakeem and Mike work to finish STRIPE and prepare the Thunderbolt. Rick tries to repair the hourglass. Pat goes to find Beth and Charles and Eclipso and takes on Courtney, Cindy and Yolanda. Eclipso challenges each member with themselves in one way or another. Cindy fights a younger version of herself, Yolanda fights the original Wildcat, Pat vs Stripsey and finally Courtney vs Eclipso. He is trying to merge the Shadowlands with Earth and take all humans at once. The two Dr. Midniters are able to free the team from the illusions and Courtney lands a blow on Eclipso but with the Shadowlands so close he is stronger than ever.
2. No Hourglass Hourman: Rick can't wait any longer and goes de-powered to help his friends. Thunderbolt finally returns with food. They use Thunderbolt to get the engine part they need and Mike arrives in STRIPE to take on Eclipso. Jakeem also arrives and asks Thunderbolt to electrocute Eclipso. Eclipso gets the jump on Jakeem but Rick arrives with Grundy to save the day. Grundy and Eclipso go toe-to-toe for a bit but Eclipso blasts a hole through Grundy. Rick rushes to his friends aid but without the hourglass, he is dispatched quickly.
3. Eclipso and Pat: Eclipso has Pat and threatens to rip his arms off. All he was trying to do was to get Courtney to have one thread of hate toward him. He can now possess her. With her ability to wield the staff, and his to wield the power of darkness, Eclipso controls both light and dark. The pair begin to merge worlds.
4. The Shade Returns: With the Shadowlands so close, The Shade is healed and has returned. He saved Beth's parents and suited up the two Dr. Midnites. Cindy sees Courtney possessed and thinks she needs to kill the host. Yolanda stops her and goes to grab the staff. They fail but Sylvester arrives and grabs the staff too! He tells Courtney that if the staff chose her, then it did for a reason and she can fight Eclipso's hold on her. Courtney wins and everyone arrives to stop Eclipso, They blast him with the light of Green Lantern, The Cosmic Staff and Thunderbolt's energy. Eclipso is reduced to toast!
5. Summer: The JSA along with Jenny all realize they are better together. Yolanda is back on the team for good. Dr. MidNider is going to leave and Beth is going to say goodbye. Pat and Courtney discuss Sylvester's return. Pat expresses how proud he is of Courtney. They were able to beat Eclipso because of her. Sylvester arrives to confirm he doesn't want the staff back but he can show her what all it can do. Beth tells Chuck that he has a ten year old son and that his wife is still around. Chuck officially passes the baton on to Beth. Mike and Jakeem talk about starting their own team. Cameron's grandparents see the mural and agree it's time to tell him about his family.

In the final season finale wrap up moments, Yolanda leaves church only to find CIndy waiting for her. Cindy wants to join the JSA. Rick buries Grundy in a nice place in the forest. The Shade stops him to tell him he needs to bury him in the right place at the right time. Additionally, The Shade has decided to stick around Blue Valley! Beth's parents decided not to get divorced. They are too excited to be the parents of a superhero. They want to build a new suit for her. At Courtney's house all the team is a flutter! The last day of Summer school has come and Sylvester is setting up the basement. Just then the Crock family arrives to say welcome to the neighborhood!

One thing you can say about Stargirl for both seasons is when it comes to the season finale, "it's all come to this". Eclipso seemed to be one step ahead of the JSA and both Dr. Midnite's have invited the members to come back to the ISA headquarters where Eclipso needs everyone to be. Why does he want them all in one place? We aren't sure but we do know that his plan is to somehow unleash the inner darkness in Courtney. With her staff, it looks like she could be the strongest member of the JSA and could take them all out especially under Eclipso's control! Today we have eight new images from the season finale that highlight just about all the main characters. Who else might show up? Check it out below:

Going into this evening, there are only two episodes left of Stargirl's sophomore season! With The Shade's help, whom we don't believe we've seen the last of, Courtney, Cindy and the original Dr. Midnite have escaped the Shadowlands. But if Courtney is going to take down Eclipso the right way and avoid the mistakes of the first JSA, she'll need more help than Cindy Burman and Charles McNider. There is a big list of obstacles to overcome, re-powering the cosmic staff, getting Rick out of prison, bringing back Yolanda from her despair, finding Thunderbolt and the Pink Pen and keeping Eclipso at bay. Not an easy list to accomplish but we know Courtney is up to the task, here's what stood out to us:

1. Home Alone: Buddy the dog is home alone and he is living it up! He goes to take a pee on Cosmo when the staff wakes up. It looks like Cosmo is all better. Four hours previous, we catch up with Beth and Jenny. They are investigating the second location of where The Shade was said to be. The second source was some kind of darkness residue that Jenny's ring reacted to and fried. Pat and Charles discuss what Eclipso might be up to and what could hurt him. Being a sole of darkness, light can hurt him. Both Green Lantern's light and the Staff will hurt Eclipso. Barbara, Courtney and Cindy set ground rules. Beth and Jenny arrive and Beth gets to meet Charles for the first time in real life.
2. Dr. Midnite, Meet Dr. MidNite: The two Dr. Midnites work together to discover Eclipso's actual location. Two pairs of goggles are better than one. Courtney and Pat know they need all hands on deck, including Yolanda and Rick. Mike heads out to try and find Thunderbolt and whomever is using it. Jenny is resting after using the ring, the black residue might have gotten to her. Courtney finds Yolanda to try and show she isn't alone in her choice and they need her. Yolanda doesn't take the new information well and storms off.
3. Pat Goes to Rick's Uncle: Pat asks that Rick's Uncle drop the charges against him. The uncle is unable to even speak and writes his response to Pat. He says Pat should "Go to hell". Pat doesn't take kindly to this answer and he is reminded that his days in the Army, well that put some bad in him too. Pat locks the door and closes the blinds... Mike finally finds Jakeem and he can provide the guidance needed to make Thunderbolt less chaotic.
4. Shade Alive?: Barbara hears a shadow that might be The Shade but dissipates when Courtney returns home. Courtney confronts her mother about what her Shadowland mother counterpart said. Barbara sets her daughter straight and reminds her that she is the only one that can stop Eclipso. Cindy goes to pay a visit to Yolanda. Cindy uses a little reverse psychology along with revealing that Cindy was the one to leak her photos to rile up Yolanda. Maybe this will be enough to bring Yolanda back, if for nothing else to watch Courtney's back?
5. Mike and Jakeem: Mike wants the Thunderbolt back but he tells Jakeem how it arrived in Jakeem's hands. Mike shares his admiration for Jakeem and Jakeem reveals why he feels happy to hang out with someone like Thunderbolt. Rick is released from jail where Pat is there waiting for him. Yolanda arrives at Courtney's home where she is worried for her friend. Yolanda agrees to come back while Cindy is on the team. Jenny was infected by the black substance and it is allowing Eclipso to see her. Courtney goes to speak with Cindy. Cindy offers advice that Courtney needs to be ready to really unleash her dark side to beat Eclipso.

In the final wrap up moments, Rick works to repair the hourglass, Mike and Jakeem do the dishes, Courtney and Yolanda suit up. Charles and Beth find Eclipso. It appears that his master plan is to find the inner darkness of Courtney and use her to take out everyone! Get a preview of next week's season finale of Stargirl season 2 aka Summer School below:

After last night, the JSA is actually looking a bit stronger. You have Courtney back from the shadowlands and the original Dr. Midnite is back too! Even though it's a bit awkward, you also have Cindy Burman on the team, at least until they take down Eclipso. Looking ahead to next week's all new episode, the JSA might be gaining even more steam. Looking at the five new photos released for the episode, we see that Yolanda could be back, Mike seems to have tracked down Jakeem which could put Thunderbolt back on the team, and you never know what Cindy Burman might bring!
