Brainwave Jr. Recap

This episode was a VERY big one! We've been waiting to discuss this for a couple of weeks and now the time has finally come! Some of Henry King Jr.'s actions can never be forgiven but the way he showed up in this episode was quite different than the bully we've seen all season! This episode really marked the turning point in the season. We are now quickly headed toward a huge finale that will pit the ISA vs the JSA! Here's what stood out to us:

  1. Two Years Ago: We open on how Pat and Barbara met in Blue Valley. As wholesome as it was, they end up sharing a banana split. We jump to where we left off last episode, Barbara is learning everything from Pat and Courtney. It doesn't go well and Barbara asks Pat to leave. At Blue Valley hospital, we learn that Brainwave has lost ten years of memories. He is a lot less supervillain and is just learning that his wife is dead. For the first time in a long time, Henry hugs his son.
  2. Who Killed Mary: In a dream, Henry Jr. hears his dad thinking about his wife and Jordan's name comes up. Did Jordan murder Brainwave's wife? Jordan arrives at the hospital to see his old friend. Henry Jr. learns that the ISA is responsible for Mary's death. We find out that Mary was the sister of Starman which is what brought the JSA on to the ISA's radar. Henry Jr. now believes that Jordan killed his mom.
  3. The Staff Remembers: Now that most of the ISA is being discovered, the Staff goes to ask Courtney to go out. Courtney says no but the Staff is implusive. He realizes who Jordan is and goes to get revenge for Starman. Brainwave is able to stop the staff and Icicle freezes it and takes control! The next morning, Courtney goes to find the staff is gone. Barbara is committed on taking Courtney out of Blue Valley. Courtney goes to see Pat at the garage and they learn the staff is gone. Pat goes to the America Dream headquarters to check up on Barbara.
  4. Henry Finds Courtney: Henry Jr. now believing that Jordan killed his mom and finds Courtney. He touches Courtney and gives her all his memories on what just happened. Courtney thinks that Henry is her cousin, they share a hug. Henry Jr. wants to save his dad, they don't want him to return to his evil self. Courtney goes to get the JSA so they can save Brainwave and get Courtney's staff back. At the American Dream, Barbara is investigating, she isn't fully convinced Pat is lying.
  5. In the Tunnels: The JSA with Henry Jr. head into the tunnels of the ISA. The JSA split up to do recon and agree to meet up again in 15 minutes. Jordan and his family speak Norwegian in front of Pat and Barbara, but Barbara has the forethought to record them. She can translate it later with Pat. In the tunnels Dragon King is working on Brainwave to give him his memories back. Shiv, still in her cage, sees Stargirl and alerts her dad. Dragon King then commands his minions to attack. Brainwave Jr., Wildcat and Stargirl all start to engage. Hourman and Dr. Midnite find Solomon Grundy and Hourman is set on killing him. Wildcat is able to get the staff back to Courtney in time and she blasts Dragon King. Henry Jr. learns that Dragon King was able to get Henry Sr.'s memories back. Unable to free Solomon, The JSA and Henry Jr. rush to escape.
  6. Brainwave Jr.: Barbara learns the truth and Pat and her kind of team up again in the diner. Brainwave finds the JSA in the tunnels. They are able to bend the bars blocking their way to get to safety but Brainwave isn't stopping. Brainwave Jr. and Brainwave stand on opposite sides of each other. Henry Jr. wants to be good and wants his dad to be good. We learn that Brainwave was the one who killed his wife. The divide between father and son is complete. Brainwave Jr. is strong but not strong enough. He is crushed saving the JSA.

Brainwave Jr. Trailer

Will the JSA accept a new member into their ranks, or did Courtney's plan backfire and push Henry King Jr. right into the arms of the ISA and his dad? That's the question on everyone's minds after last night's episode of Stargirl. That and, just how is Barbara going to react to Courtney and Pat's deceit keeping her in the dark about being superheroes? In the trailer for next week's all new episode, we see a huge fight scene between the full JSA and Dragon King's minions. Will Shiv be set free to fight at the side of her father? We also see a scene with metal bars blocking the way forward. For a funny anecdote about that scene see the JSA interview each other here. Check out the trailer for Brainwave Jr. below:

Brainwave Recap

Henry King Jr.'s powers are growing and while it is clear that he doesn't have full control over them yet, he is getting stronger with them, specifically adding the ability to move objects with his mind. Courtney has just ended a second fight with Shiv who could have possibly killed her if it weren't for Henry Jr.'s intervention. What all did Henry retain from his encounter with Stargirl? Will Cindy Burman finally tell her father who the real Stargirl is? So much to cover in today's all new episode of Stargirl! Here's what stood out to us:

  1. Decades Ago: We open in the past. Brainwave was a scientist working on lab rays when he was mugged leaving his office. Here he discovered his powers and used them fully to kill the mugger. Fast-forwarding to today, Henry Jr. is looking through his father's old tapes regarding his abilities. We learn that Brainwave had an idea to expanded the human brain but his funding was cut. He chose to use his experiment on himself and it worked. Killing the man relieved his migrane.
  2. Courtney & Pat: Courtney debriefs Pat on the encounter with Shiv and Brainwave Jr. Having heard his thoughts in her head, Courtney thinks she can turn Henry Jr. into a JSA member. Pat realizes that the ISA is not just settling down, they are planning something instead. We learn that Stripesy and Star Spangled Kid were part of The Seven Solders of Victory before joining the JSA. Turns out the Seven Solders saved the world once! They have experience fighting Dragon King and Pat agrees they need all the help they can get.
  3. The Shining Knight: The Janitor's having visions of the Cosmic staff. His memory seems to come and go randomly. Beth does recon on Cindy and discovers she's been pulled out of school to study abroad. In actuality, Cindy is caged in her father's cell. When Cindy can't get her father to let her out she threatens to kill him. Dragon King locks her door further and gases her to sleep. Henry Jr. is practicing his powers and learning via his dad's tapes. Courtney takes her idea to bring in Henry to the team and Yolanda and Rick aren't having it. Henry Jr. continues to learn more about his father, turns out killing people is giving him relief from his headaches. The more minds he reads, the more his head hurts until he kills them.
  4. Dragon King: Dr. Ido has news for the ISA. He is very polite at the round table. Dragon King hasn't always worked with the ISA so they have a little bit of uneasiness. Dragon King's idea is to use Henry Jr. as a power source to broadcast a command to all active minds, essentially taking them over. Barbara goes to apologize for having to leave Oakville and Jordan confesses his difficulties with balancing work and life. Barbara invites the Mahkents over for dinner. Henry Jr. goes to try and speak with his dad through his mind.
  5. Pat's Mission: Pat calls Beth and Rick to the Pit Stop. He thinks that there might be a series of underground tunnels all through Blue Valley. Beth and Chuck begin to work the problem, Pat heads home and Rick starts work on his father's journal. Courtney goes to talk with Henry Jr. about the ISA. Henry Jr. thinks all humans are garbage but Courtney does show him another side, people can choose to be good. Courtney knows behind pain and fear, it's all about love. Courtney thinks that Henry Jr. wants to be loved as well.
  6. Family Dinner: Barbara is frantically cooking which she isn't good at. Pat steps in to help out. The Mahkents arrive for dinner. Jordan brings his son and parents completing a dinner for eight. Wildcat goes to confront Henry Jr. and scares him half to death. She lets him read her thoughts and he knows how much he's hurt her. Beth discovers that a separatist movement settled Blue Valley and built their tunnels which is why the ISA chose the town to start their Project New America. At dinner, Courtney nearly burns her hands and realizes that Jordan might be Icicle when he takes the pan and it doesn't burn him.
  7. Barbara Finds Out: After dinner Courtney goes to the basement with Pat to get the staff. Barbara is there and sees the staff. A lawyer goes to get Henry Jr.'s signature to take his dad off life support but it's just a ploy to get money. Henry Jr. uses his powers to silence the lawyer maybe killing him. Just then, Henry Sr. wakes up!
