Everyone is talking about Stargirl and for good reason! The show's quality in filming, storytelling, and mystery-building has left fans viewing on The CW drooling for more! DC Universe fans are also praising the show for its balanced approach at superhero storytelling and paying homage to the golden age of superheroes. Today, the world of Courtney Whitemore was introduced to Icicle, who made a very chilling and terrifying entrance into Blue Valley! Here's what stood out to us:

1. Icicle's Origin: Just like any good superhero, a supervillain needs a good origin story. Eight years ago, we are introduced to Icicle's family. His wife is dying. She shares a final goodbye with her artist son and then Jordan (aka Icicle) goes to say goodbye to his wife one last time. Her dying message to him was to never stop his mission, let no one stand in his way. She literally tells him to destroy anyone who tries to stop him.
2. Present Day: Courtney is still laser focused on finding the ISA. Pat continues to advise caution. Pat says part of being a superhero is majoritively not being a superhero. We cut to Brainwave's hospital room where Henry Jr. may or may not have moved a coffee cup with his mind. Jordan is there to check up on Brainwave. Jordan calls The Wizard who is dodging his calls. He was left in charge of the ISA while Jordan was gone.
3. Blue Valley High: At the school, all the students are looking at the school sign that was destroyed in the battle with Brainwave. Courtney is approached by The Wizard's son who performs a magic trick for her. He gets it wrong but Courtney hides that fact and acts impressed. At the hospital, Pat is checking in on Brainwavem making sure that he's still unconscious. We learn that Pat and Courtney didn't leave him at the hospital, The Wizard did it and changed his clothes. Pat knows now that he wasn't alone now. More ISA are in Blue Valley. Icicle confronts The Wizard at his home and decisively regains control of the ISA. They are trying to complete a project called "New America".
4. The American Dream: The company that Barbara is working for is being run by the ISA. Jordan is actually in charge, not The Gambler. Barbara speaks out about the project. She doesn't want 208 Main Street to close. It was a community theater they were going to tear down for more real-estate, Barbara convinces Jordan to keep it. At school, Courtney stands up for Yolanda but Yolanda tells her not to. A new painting has appeared on Yolanda's locker. Courtney meets Cameron in math class and the two share a little moment. He was the one who painted Yolanda's locker.
5. A Message Sent and Received: Icicle sends a message to Stargirl by freezing a part of a field in a star shape. Courtney races home to tell Pat about the star. She convinces Pat to go along and the pair run right into Icicle. STRIPE is frozen in place. Back home Barbara comes home for family dinner but Pat and Courtney aren't there. Icicle takes a sniper shot at Stargirl but Pat is able to fire his fist at him to stop him from killing her. Icicle lands on a bridge where he freezes the bridge and a school bus which almost falls into the river but STRIPE pushes it back. Stargirl uses the staff to blind the kids so they don't see STRIPE. In a shocking move, Icicle then uses a truck driving by to kill The Wizard's son.

In the end of the episode. Courtney and Pat debrief on how dangerous Icicle is. He kills whenever it suits him. Pat takes Courtney to the headquarters of the JSA. He shows her how impressive the JSA was but they all died at the hands of the ISA. Courtney comes up with the idea to replace the JSA with new members. Pat thinks he's made it clear they won't be doing anymore Stargirl and STRIPE. The Wizard goes to confront Icicle about killing his son. The Wizard brings out his wand ready to fight but Icicle quickly freezes him to death!!! Jordan's parents quickly offer to clean up the mess. We learn decisively that the painter boy that Courtney talked to is Icicle's son. Courtney then flies back to the JSA headquarters and takes all the hero artifacts! She's going to do some recruiting!
