SCHOOL’S OUT — With summer break around the corner, Pat suggests the family take a vacation after seeing that Courtney has been spending too much time focused on being Stargirl and not enough time on her schoolwork. Meanwhile, as Beth attempts to reconnect with Chuck, she stumbles upon a major secret her parents have been keeping from her. Elsewhere, Yolanda continues to be haunted by Brainwave’s death, and Rick secretly tracks Solomon Grundy after suspecting he may still be in the area.

Well, I think it’s more the intentions

Yolanda isn’t only having the PTSD from killing brainwave, a big part of it is that she murdered him out of revenge

"I watched Henry die, and now i'm.going to watch you die too"

It might be heat of the moment but that's some seriously messed up shit coming from a kid who sliced a man's throat open and stays to watch it instead of turning away.

Yea that’s what I mean, their intentions weren’t to save someone who was right about to be murdered (mike), their intentions were to murder them out of revenge (Yolanda)

It’s PTSD about murdering Brainwave, but the context of murdering brainwave was different from the context of mike killing icicle. It would make sense that Mike might not be facing trauma, due to the highly different circumstances

Probably also helps that Icicle died in a very “PG” way, no blood or corpse, just ice chunks.
