Stargirl (2020–…): Season 2, Episode 12 - Episode #2.12 - full transcript

I thought this pen
was my ticket into the JSA,

but now I kind of just wish
it was in better hands.

Thunderbolt?

Where did you come from?

Hello.

I think Doctor Mid-Nite
is alive.

Could be Eclipso, Beth.

He made us see things.

Things that weren't
really there.

That's not Grundy!





I'm never putting on
that costume again.



The devil is real,
and he's in Blue Valley.



Don't let me go, Courtney!
Please!

No!



No!

Doctor Mid-Nite?

Turn away from the darkness,
or you will be consumed.

I found a way out of here.



So...
who wants to kill Eclipso?

Whoa.

Yeah, we had a big fight
in here last week.

I still have a lot
to catch up on.



There's no sign
of The Shade.

Your ring located dark energy
at two places in Blue Valley:

the theater in town
and the school.

Most of the time,

I don't know
what the ring's doing.

Maybe we can check
the classrooms again?

Whoa. Oh!



This is right
where Cindy disappeared.

What is that stuff?



It looks like
some kind of residue.

That must be what your ring
was picking up.





Are--are you okay?

I--I think so.

Looks like you fried it.
That's probably a good thing.

Right?



Beth? Are you there?
Courtney?



She's home.

She's home!



It fits.
Yeah.

But I got something a lot more
comfortable than an old suit.

I'm comfortable in a suit.



Here we go.



Dr. McNider, I'm sorry that
you were trapped in that place.

And I know that I--
It goes without saying, Pat.

Now...

let's focus on stopping Eclipso

before he executes whatever
plan he's been concocting.

I mean, what plan would
that be beyond revenge?

Eclipso wants power,
first and foremost.

Whatever he's doing, no matter
how personal it may appear,

is always in service
to that one goal.

And he isn't
in a host this time.

Good.

Because as powerful as Eclipso
might be, he's also vulnerable.

How so?

He doesn't have a host
acting as a shield anymore.

Nor the diamond.

He's a being of darkness.

What do you suppose
injures darkness?



Light.

Especially when
it's wielded by those

who carry the light
within themselves,

that channel hope,
like your stepdaughter.



You said the staff
hurt Eclipso.

Yeah, and Eclipso
also hurt the staff.

But I think that it's making
a full recovery.

And Green Lantern's daughter?

Well, Jennie's still learning
how to use the ring.

I really don't know if
these kids are ready for this.

Are you sure?

Because what I know
of Beth Chapel, she is.



Mm.
I really thought I lost you.

Good talk, Mom.

You try anything, Cindy--

Mm, don't worry.

The quicker we get rid
of Eclipso,

the quicker I ghost
this armpit of a town.

You mean the Eclipso
you unleashed on Blue Valley?

Mm, technically, it was
your staff that did that.

While you were trying
to kill us.

All right, all right.
I admit it.

Taking the black diamond
was a big oops on my part.

It was more than an oops.

It was really, really,
really...

bad.

Kay?

No more trouble, Cindy.

Okay, Ms. Whitmore.
Courtney?

Court!

Beth!
Hi!

What, no hug for me?



What is she doing here?

She wants to
help us fight Eclipso.

But she--

Let him out
in the first place?

And--
I don't trust her, either.



She's evil, Court.

Okay, look,
Doctor Mid-Nite Junior,

or whatever you're gonna
call yourself now,

I'm offering up a truce

until Eclipso is nothing more
than a stain on the ground.

Let's face facts:
right now, evil is relative.

Jennie, are you okay?

Uh, yeah.
Just tired.

After everything we've been
through, how could you not be?

Hi, Beth.
So nice to finally meet you.



Same.

Now that you're back,
Doctor Mid-Nite,

if you'd like me
to return the goggles--

With Eclipso running about,
it's safer you keep them on.

Besides, I have my own.

And they're connected
to my incognito glasses.

Wow.
That's so smart.

Show me what you found
at school.

Some kind of black residue.
It looked like it was alive.

Organic, even.

Afterbirth.
Mm.

From the pit to
the Shadowlands Eclipso opened.



The goggles are
already crunching

what little data I did get.

It says a full analysis to
triangulate Eclipso's location

will take about eight hours.

Hmm.

Or we could cut that time
in half...

if we team up.



Accept.

Ee!

I have so many questions
to ask you, Doctor Mid-Nite.

You can call me Chuck.

Okay!

Chuck!



I hate to admit it,
but Cindy's right.

In Eclipso's case,
evil is relative.

We need her.



We need everyone
if Beth and Doctor Mid-Nite

are close to finding Eclipso.



This is--this is
so delicious, Ms. Whitmore.



I'm gonna try and
convince Yolanda to help us.

Yeah.
I'm gonna see what I can do

about getting Rick
released from jail,

see if he can
fix the hourglass.



What about Mike?
Where is he?

He's chasing the lighting.



DJ Breezy B on the dial

bringing you another
wild update

on the Blue Valley
summer of insanity.

On top of
cotton candy-pink lightning,

flying bikes, and candy canes
the size of cars,

massive food items are being
reported all over town

from colossal cake pops to
freeway-blocking french fries.

But my personal favorite
is a report of a beer brat

larger than a school bus
floating out in a lake

looking like
a speckled sea monster.



Thunderbolt, where are you?

Come on.





Wow!
This is so cool, Mom!

Dang.

I don't know how it got here.



It looks so good!
A little taste! Come on, Mom!

No, no!
What is it made of?



Jakeem.





Hey.
You should be in bed.

They need my help.

You can't help unless
you get some rest.

Pat said the ring
takes a lot out of you.

Save up your energy.



Okay.





Hi.

My mom's picking me
up any second.

Yolanda, please talk to me.

It's important.

You're not the only JSA member
who's killed someone.

The Justice Society stopped
Eclipso last time by...

killing Bruce Gordon.



How do you know that?

Pat was there.

We can all talk
about it together,

but I had to tell you.

The first Wildcat, Ted Grant,
he made the same mistake.

And?

He had to live with that
guilt with the rest of them.

Pat can explain why he--
Why are you telling me this?

To let you know
that you're not alone.

You're my best friend

and the JSA isn't
the same without you.

I'm not.



In less than four hours,

Beth will lock on to Eclipso's
hiding place, and we need you.

Like, bad.

You thought telling me this

would magically
make me feel better?

All it does
is make everything worse.

Ted Grant was a killer, too.

No, that's not what I meant--
No.

Courtney, I will never put
that costume on again, okay?

Ever.

Because it's a costume
of a murderer.

Twice now.



Hi.
Sorry.

Not sure if you remember me.
Met you out at your farm.

Pat Dugan.
I own the garage in town.

And I'm also one
of Rick's friends.

You know, your nephew,
he's a good kid,

and I think that deep down,
you know that, too.

Rick made a big mistake.

But he knows that.

And he's truly sorry.
He is.

So I'm asking you...

to please drop the charges.

Something like this--

well, I mean,
it could ruin his life

before he even gets started,
you know?

This might not make
a lot of sense, but...

everyone in this town
could suffer...

if Rick doesn't
get your forgiveness.



Rick's parents asked you
to look out for him.



But you did the opposite.
Didn't you?



You actually got a talent.

You know that?

You really do.

It's for finding people
that are weaker than you are...

and taking advantage of them.

Whether it's a kid,
some waitress...



Or your own nephew.



You're a bad guy.



And whenever I've run
into somebody like you,

when I was growing up,
back in the Army...



Or today...

makes me remember something
about myself.



I got some bad in me, too.

Delicious update.

A gigantic cheeseburger has
appeared

in the Blue Hill Estates.

I don't know about you guys,

but all this super-sized food
is making me hungry!



Hey.
Hey, hey, hey, Jakeem!



Jakeem!
Mike?

Where's The Thunderbolt?

How did you know about that?
What?

Okay, what are you doing?
I was hungry, right?

So I wished
for this big cheeseburger.

Yeah, I saw.
It was big. Scary big.

I freaked out,
dropped my papers.

I wanted to get out of there
quick,

so I wished my bike could fly,
and then it took off.

It's passed by
a couple of times.

Okay.
Where is The Thunderbolt?

I was still hungry.

I wished for Chinese food
and he flew away.

You idiot!

You probably sent him to China!
How long has he been gone?

Three or four hours.
Okay.

Well, we need him
to get back here now.

Why?
Listen.



You ever heard of
the Justice Society of America?

Is that like the Boy Scouts?

Because I'm really bad
at tying knots.

Barbara.

Barbara.



Oh, hey.

Yolanda's not coming back.
It was all too much.

Oh, I'm sorry.

Mom,

I don't want there
to be anything between us.

Look, why Pat and I

didn't tell you the truth,
we felt like--

No, Mom.
We're past that. No.

When I was in The Shadowlands,
I saw you.



You did?



And, um...



You said some things
that, uh...

I can't really un--unhear.



Whatever that was,
it wasn't me.

You know, it was--
Eclipso. I know.

But--

was it hard,
raising me by yourself?

I can handle the truth.
I promise.

I mean, sure, yeah,
it was hard at times,

being a single mom.



But there's nothing
I wouldn't have done for you.

But you could have
had a career.

I have one.

You could have done more.

Yeah, there's a lot of things
I could have done.

None of them compare to what
you have brought into my life.



And that's why it scares me so
badly seeing you in harm's way.

But I know something
has to be done about Eclipso.

And I know you're
the only one to do it.



I can't do it alone, Mom.



I miss my best friend.

I know you do.







I thought you were dead.

Blame Courtney.

Don't come near me.

Don't flatter yourself.



Then why are you here?

To tell you not to come back.

We don't need any weak links.

We?

Long story short,
I want Eclipso so bad

I'm even willing to work
with Courtney Whitmore.

We're allies now.

You liar.
No, it's true.



You know, ever since the first
grade, I always admired you.

Envied you, really.

I never dreamed the straight-A
poster girl for progress

would fall this far.

If you and Courtney
are working together,

I can't believe
how far she's fallen.



You kept Henry's photo?

Even after he sent yours
to everyone?

Hey, shut up.

You remember that one day,

you gave your acceptance speech
for class president,

and all your photos got texted
to everyone's phones?



I said shut up.
Yeah, that wasn't Henry.

That was me.

Hmm.

That's the fighter
I used to see.

Get out!

Oh, I'm finished.

Yolanda?
What's going on up there?

Nothing, Mom.



Hey--



So you see why
I need the pen back.

Besides, I did have it
before you.

And someone else had
The Thunderbolt before you.

The fact is he's had like
a billion different people--

Look, I didn't mean
to give it up.

Then why did you?

I just said I kind of wished
he was in better hands.

Wait.
What?

You thought I was better hands?

I don't know.

The Thunderbolt must have read
my mind or something,

but he messed up
and picked you.

How exactly am I better hands?

I don't know.



I mean, you're more
organized than me,

and you do finish
your route early,

which some people tend to like.

But don't get too confident,
all right?

The bar is very low.



The Thunderbolt's not just
about the wishes.

I haven't had fun hanging out
with somebody in forever.



Okay, but listen.

If you want to keep the pen,
fine.

I get it.

But then you've got
the responsibility

that comes with it.



You gotta help us
save the world.

Jakeem.

It's your turn
to do the dishes.

I'm busy right now!

I have to save the world.

Dad!
Jakeem won't do the dishes!

Okay, okay, okay, okay.
I'll be right down.

Losers.

Before we go save the world,
can you help me do the dishes?

Stay out of trouble, okay?

Thought you might need
a ride.

They said my uncle
dropped the charges?

Why?

No idea.
Jump in.

We got this.

Hey, you okay?

Courtney, you have a visitor.

Thanks, Ms. Whitmore.
Yeah. You're welcome.

Yolanda.
Are you out of your mind?

Maybe?

You asked Cindy Burman
to help you stop Eclipso?

Okay, that's not
exactly accurate.

But we all need
to work together.

She'll stab you in the back
the first chance she gets.

You know that, right?

She might still be
working with Eclipso.

That's definitely
not happening.

After what he did to her.

Hey, remember when
we first met?

"The enemy of my enemy
is my friend"?

The only reason I'm back

is to protect everyone
from that psycho.

Once she's gone, so am I.

Yeah. Okay.
Okay.

Got it.



Where's my suit?





I see you.

Can you see me?





What do you want, new girl?

You knew exactly
what you were doing

going to see Yolanda.

Yeah.
Played her like a fiddle.

Why?
Does it matter?

She's back, isn't she?

She's gonna last longer
than you.

She's already embraced
her dark side.

Yolanda unleashes it
when she fights.

She gives into it,
and you better do the same.

Get dirty.

Just like the old JSA did.

How did you know that?
I do my research.

When it comes to Eclipso,

you have to fight fire
with fire.



You have to be bad
to defeat evil.















You finally decided
to pick up, hmm?

Yes, it's me.

You all need to come back
to Blue Valley.



The goggles
are still freezing up.

We need a bigger computer
system to help find Eclipso.

The ISA mainframe is in here?

There's a lot to fill
you in on, but yeah.

My dad's always
the last one at work.

He can help us get in.

Hi.

I've been waiting for you.



I hope you're not still mad
at me...

for what I did
to your little girl.



You can drop the act.
We see you for what you are.

And I see you
for what you are.

I just sent a trouble alert.
Everyone's coming.

That's what I was hoping for.
Because I need you all here.

It only works
if you're all here.



What works?

Finding the darkness within.



The darkness within what?



Courtney Whitmore.





Soon, I will feed...

on your entire world.



And I will become your god.



No!

Greg, move your head.
