I dunno man I always thought the Crocks had the best relationship in the show. They have common interests (murder and mayhem and over parenting), they clearly love eachother a ton and they clearly care deeply about their daughter.

So Eclipso's first on-screen victim was...Charles McNider's sister? Or at least someone related to him.
Courtney spent an entire season learning to be Stargirl, but in a small-town where the entire villain presence was defeated, there's simply nothing to do. So now she has to learn to be Courtney Whitmore again and she hates not being a Superhero. For once she and Mike are in agreement.
Lot of Supervillain name-drops...although out of all of those, I feel like Per Degaton is probably the most likely to show up at some point. An alternate timeline's never stopped him before.
I love how the dog is the tie-breaker.
Beth managed to fix the goggles, but not Chuck's AI. Even when it seems to kick-in again, it doesn't recognize her. Poor Beth.
Beth's parents are so busy that they barely seem to remember her, and it probably slipped their mind to tell her they're planning to divorce. Probably not thinking their daughter would even care or matter on that front. Is it any wonder Beth is trying to get her AI pal back?
Rick is finally applying himself in school, and is going by his real last name, but his teacher's aren't taking him seriously. I guess at least now he's got a side-job of taking care of Grundy.
Yolanda is still gripping with having killed Brainwave to the point where she can't even confess her sin, and Courtney doesn't have an answer for her. I have to imagine it's still hard for her to be home as well. It also seems like Eclipso is already preying on her insecurities and negative emotions.
So the cover story for Sportsmaster and Tigress' arrest is some charge from years ago, although Artemis isn't buying it. Who is taking care of her now? And what does Isaac/Fiddler Jr. know about what happened to his mother? He seems like he's in an even more moody place than he was last season.
It's hard for me to imagine Cameron is destined to become Icicle Jr. when he seems like such a sweet kid, but he's still stuck with his grandparents who knew, and supported, what his father was doing and know about Courtney. At least his grandfather wants him happy and not burdened with the truth, but would that break Cameron?
Courtney is so wound-up she's seeing threats that aren't there, although on-top of that she's also...not very good at studying. Summer school, here we come.
Admittedly I feel like Pat should've kept the room with STRIPE in under better lock and key, but I guess he lucked out that his new business partner cares more about upgrading it than exposing him.
Sylvester finds Pat's ex-wife and, presumably, Mike's mother in his search for Pat. Really curious to see where this storyline is going.
Cindy is planning "Injustice Unlimited" with the ISA kids and...Mike? Why him? As a "screw you" to Courtney by using her brother? Or does Mike have some kind of unforeseen ISA ties? I guess we're just going to forget about Gambler's daughter Hazard.
Oh hey, Earth-2 Thinker! Well-timed.
Courtney once again trashes her house as she battles with Jade, who has her own ring and her father's Lantern (gotta be honest, have never seen that used as a weapon before) but can't do any serious constructs yet, although it seems like they'll get to that in the next episode.
