STARGIRL: Solomon Grundy Returns In The New Promo For Season 2, Episode 8; "Summer School: Chapter Eight"

That Grundy looked pretty bad.

Wonder if Eclipso has some control over Grundy.

Could Rick have to go old yeller

Nice episode, it feels that now they have began another build up of episodes that deal with the JSA slowly falling little by little apart and if they can stick together.

I think this is the first time they made a time jump because usually their timeline of episodes is compressed. Last 6 episodes must've been around late May or all June since this one took place one day before the 4th of July.

Wasn't aware Pat kept small pieces of what was left of the Black Diamond. I guess that the teens took them from the cafeteria after the battle. And at first I thought it was a bad idea but I get his reasons, it could still be the only thing that can weaken him and get him back inside...if they can remake it. Better that than getting the Cosmic Staff out of commission.

Shade's trying to reach for any kind of help. They got to find his hat and cane that were also left behind in the cafeteria. (Which I notice they skipped in not making the principal talk about that mess :P) That would help.

I thought Mike opening up about his role in Icicle's death was something he needed to get out of his chest after he came under effect of those shards from the diamond but he did it more to give his insight about the whole "Yolanda had no choice but to kill Brainwaive" discussion at the Whitmore-Dugan's. But I bet it'll be addressed again.

This is the 2nd episode, after last week's, in which they have showed some of the characters feeling uncomfortable/bothered by that portrait of Jordan at The American Dream company. I wonder if it is foreshadowing of something...

Courtney's self-defense reaction to Cameron coming to invite her to help in decorating the streets for 4th of July reminded me of when she did the exact same thinng but with Artemis in 2x01, proving right Pat and Barbara: she needs a balance between Courtney and Stargirl. So it was a small highlight in the episode to see her accept his offer and relax for once after so much stuff that has happened.

Wonder how much of those peaceful moments, whether is Camney scenes or other stuff, are left because it feels the worse is yet to come. D:

And poor Yolanda, torn between her religion and whatever really is affecting her mind to make her end up isolating from everyone. Really sad on that area. My money however is still on Brainwave proyecting his mind onto her before dying as I theorized, which if true, was confirmed by him in this episode. At least they never showed us the right moment when one of Yolanda's eyes shines purple when Eclipso looked at her in his kid form so it is hard to tell what is really going on with her.

But I see the point behind it: the story now wanna make Courtney be the guilty one of "corrupting" instead of Eclipso. If this keeps happening and she ends up believing it then she'll lose her confidence (again like in S1) and likely her link with the Staff will decreased.

Beth is next but wouldn't surprise me either if Eclipso is also behind Grundy acting up. Can't wait!
