The first season of Stargirl is winding down, and “Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E.” ended with Brainwave’s powers less than 30 minutes away from reprogramming the minds of adults throughout a huge chunk of the country, and around 25 million people could die as a result. The episode ended on a crazy cliffhanger with Pat in S.T.R.I.P.E. seemingly attacking Courtney, and fans will have days of waiting to find out what happens next. That said, “Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E.” did apparently settle the question of whether or not a key character really did die.
