A nearby box begins to glow and she is drawn to it. When she removes the lid she discovers the Cosmic Staff inside. The object takes her on a wild adventure.

Season 2[]

Season 3[]

The Whitmore-Dugan family leaves Blue Valley for a road trip across the country, leaving their newest house guest Ultra-Humanite, who is posing as Sylvester Pemberton, alone in the home. When the family returns, they are surprised to see that the counter, walls, and other broken furniture from Stargirl's fights have been fixed. Pat is a bit discouraged as he those on his list, though Courtney and Mike question the existence of such a list. The basement is now a bedroom for Ultra-Humanite, with a bed, pillows, and the boxes downstairs cleared out. Ultra-Humanite also makes a new crate for Cosmo. Courtney and Pat talk on the porch that afternoon, where Paula and Larry wave from their front yard. After politely avoiding a conversation with their neighbors, Pat and Courtney bicker over whether or not to lock their front door. She believes they should trust their neighbors, but he isn't keen on taking that step. They soon get an unexpected visit from Steve Sharpe, who's looking for redemption. Unbeknownst to them at the time, a hidden camera records the families every movement in their home.

In the morning, Pat finds Crusher in the kitchen working a new juicer that the Crocks are gifting the Whitmore-Dugan's. Pat accuses him of breaking and entering, but Crusher shrugs it off as the door was unlocked. When Crusher leaves, Pat looks to Court; they have to start locking the doors. In the evening, Courtney and Sylvester decide to share custody of Cosmo.^[2]

After Ultra-Humanite, still posing as Sylvester, lashes out at The Shade, Barbara and Pat reprimand him and Courtney for leaving school, attacking Shade, and losing his temper again. He retreats to the basement where he talks with Cosmo until Courtney comes down to give a pep talk.^[3] To make up for her behavior, Courtney cooks the family breakfast, though the Crocks interrupt their meal with healthy alternatives and assertive affection. Once alone in the house, Ultra-Humanite has a visitor from Cindy Burman, who wants to take the Crocks out together so they can earn favor with the JSA. He rejects her offer and takes matters into his own hands, deciding to attack the Crocks. After the fight, the Crocks return to the Whitmore-Dugan's where they triage and explain themselves to the family. This upsets Ultra-Humanite, who argues with Pat in the basement.^[4]

Cosmo wakes Courtney up in the middle of the night and insists on her waking up. He zaps her pillow with a blast of energy, scoops her off the bed, and whisks her away to an injured Ultra-Humanite. Pat brings Sylvester home from the hospital that evening. As the men relax the next day, Crusher visits to make sure Ultra-Humanite and make amends for the past. They end up watching a movie together and, in the evening, Pat gifts Ultra-Humanite a new suit.^[5] Courtney comes home late that night from a date with Cameron, and he walks her to the door, they share a goodnight kiss, and she goes inside where she happily leans against the front door. Late that night, Barbara finds Ultra-Humanite at the table unable to sleep. They have a heart-to-heart and she goes bed. In the morning, Ultra-Humanite tries to bond with Mike, urging him to make a name for himself outside of the JSA, since he can't join the team. The family debriefs from Ultra-Humanite's investigations into Dragon King before Courtney goes to school.^[6]

Mike puts the juicer to good use in the morning, using it to juice a variety of foods that the Crock's bring over. That night, Barbara brings Courtney a vase of flowers that Cameron left for her at the front door. After a fight with the JSA, Courtney cries in her room as she looks at a polaroid of herself and Yolanda. Ultra-Humanite comes in and they have a deep conversation about their similarities and how difficult things have been lately. She goes downstairs to find Pat, who decides not to give her a lecture. Beth suddenly arrives grabs a glass offering juice, as she'd love one. She starts feeding the juicer. Pat warns her to be careful of her fingers. Beth hurries over to them with her laptop, talking through a smile for them to just act super normal. The machine whirrs in the background as Beth explains she hacked into The Gambler's files and found something she thinks he found. She shows them a feed of Cindy's house, but that's not all. She flicks through to show The American Dream, The Pit Stop, the exterior of the Whitmore-Dugan House, and the very kitchen they're standing in. They all look up for the camera but don't find it. Whispering, Courtney asks Pat what they do now. He remarks they don't say another word, closing the laptop.^[7]

The JSA creates a power outage so they can remove the cameras from around town. Pat, Mike, Barbara, and Courtney focus on the several cameras in their home. Pat removes about three cameras from the basement before he and Courtney are whisked away by The Shade. Mike and Barbara search the house of their missing family, but come up empty handed. Yolanda knocks on the front door tearful as she doesn't have anywhere else to go, as her parents kicked her out. Barbara embraces the teen with empathy.^[8] When Courtney and Pat return home, she finds Yolanda in her bedroom and they reconcile from their fight a few days earlier. Yolanda also becomes the most recent guest at the Whitmore-Dugan home.^[9]

Barbara receives an unexpected visit from Lily Mahkent, who wants to even the score since Pat and "Sylvester" visited her house that morning. As she prepares to attack Barbara, an arrow barely misses Lily's arm. Paula emerges and warns Lily that the next one won't miss, successfully getting rid of the woman.^[10] Courtney later leads a JSA meeting about the Ultra-Humanite, with the JSA and Young All-Stars in attendance. Artemis drops by looking for her parents, who are missing. Courtney, Beth, and Yolanda leave to help her. "Sylvester" learns that Jordan Mahkent is back in Blue Valley and swipes objects off the table in the basement. He and Pat argue, with "Sylvester" deciding to ask Courtney for Cosmo so he can take out Icicle himself.^[11] Courtney refuses so "Sylvester" forcibly takes Cosmo from her, deems her unworthy, and leaves. The JSA, minus Rick, gather at the house to talk about it. Rick arrives looking for their help as the effects of the hourglass have grown intolerable.^[12]

As the JSA puts the pieces together about "Sylvester" undermining them, Courtney answers a call from Cameron. He knows she's looking for Starman and that he's at the junkyard. The JSA suits up and leaves, which officially starts the Battle of Blue Valley, where the teams learns that "Sylvester" is really the Ultra-Humanite in the real Sylvester Pemberton's body. After defeating their enemies, Courtney and Pat offer the old crate to Cosmo, who happily accepts it over the case the Ultra-Humanite made. A few days later, the JSA and Young All-Stars have a family dinner at the Whitmore-Dugan's, in which Bridget and James attend. Yolanda decides to call her mom to make amends. Pat and Barbara hug as they look at their guests, smiling happily.^[13]

Discoveries[]

Cosmic Staff: Courtney, on her second night at the house, discovers the magical artifact known as the Cosmic Staff. She wields it for the first time and begins to discover the power it possesses.
